Bil ftch sprang sem

the, Navy Department for the
Shenandoah disaster and the fail
ure Of the PN-9 Honolulu flight.
Sending the Inflated dirigible
across the mountains to the West
was a direct violation of law, while
the management of the unsuccess-
full Hawaiian flight was "the work
of bungling amateurs" Mitchell
charged.
Charges Law, Violation
ri say that the Shenandoah trip
was a violation of law because,
except in time of war. all flying
work over the land must be handled
by the army, not the navy"
Mitchell declared. ''No stretch of
the law. did the navy have the
right to send that ship all over
the mountains"
Mitchell read the law governing
this point and then scathingly de-
nounced the navy for its miserable
judgment" in ordering dirigible
over the Ohio valley in the face
of storms that rage at this time
of year.
1T was just like sending a ship
out to sea without life preservers
or life boats" he said.
The navy-MacMillan arctic ex-
petition also drew Mitchell's rapid
fire attack.
THAT was certainly haphazard
work." he said. 1.-The planes in
the arctic trip were designed for
use in the tronies and along the
Atlantic seaboard."
Mitchell's startling accusations of
criminal negligence" of the air
force fairly stunned the crowd.

nodded their approval. Everybody

Mitchell. These are things you

cers-they have neither the ability
nor the judgment to control our

Biting criticism came from
Mitchell as he again levelled fire
at the present administration of the
air arm, whom he charged with
'smothering' aviation. Their in
efficiency and mismanagement, he
said. have reduced America to an
easy prey of every first-class power.
Our bombardment force is de-

is to tow targets instead of pre-
pairing for bombing work, SAID
Mitchell.
Somebody i'm the War Depart

Mitchell called upon the opinions
