GARRETT To ASK
MITCHELL INQUIRY
Will Seek Probe by House of
Reasons Back of His
Demoti0n.
BY the Associated Press.

Investigation by the House Of the
| reasons given by Secretary Weeks for
not reappointing Col. William Mitchell
| assistant chief of the Army Air Serv-
ice will be proposed in a House reso-
luton tomorrow by Representative
Garrett Of Tennessee, the Democratic
leader.
The resolution will ask that the let.
ter written by Mr.. Weeks to President
Coolidge at that time, and which was
read before the Mitchell court martial,
be sent to the House by Secretary
Davis.
eff this letter shows" Mr.. Garrett
said yesterday, that one of the rea-
sons given by Secretary Weeks for his
action was the testimony given by
the then Gen. Mitchell before a COM
mittee of Congress, before which he
was requested to appear by the com
mlttee, 1t constitutes breach of
privileges Of the House. ! shall ask
the judiciary committee to examine
this letter and recommend changes in
the law to prevent men from being
punished when they appear before a
committee Of Congress to tell the
truth"
The letter OF the former War Secre-
tary to the President. which set forth
his reasons for not reappointing the
lICIl ID IL. NTtl AIltclltlI 10 Ills pDSt
in the Air Service was placed in the
record at the court-martial, which
recently sentenced the officer to five
years suspension from the Army. Re-
ferring to the appearance of Col.
Mitchell before a House investigating
committee last Spring, the letter Of
the Secretary said:
I'm his testimony, Col. Mitchell has
not only attacked the Navy Depart
ment and the active officers in that
department. but his own department
and the officers who are now largely
responsible for its administrative poll
cies. These latter officers are among
those distinguished men who con-
Quoted operations on the other side
which resulted in everlasting glory
to American arms and to the winning
of the war"
Although many resolutions bearing
on the NJ lchell case already have
been introduced. Mr.. CARROTS is one
Of the first proposed by any of the
recognized leaders in Congress. He

Enter Country.

The much discussed Karolyi case.
growing out Of the refusal of the State

bars to Countess Catherine Karolyi.
wife of the former President Of Hun
gary, mas turned up In the courts
IN petition filed yesterday In the
District OF Columbia Supreme Court
the countess asked that Secretary
Kellogg be compelled to order the
American consul in Paris to visa her
passport. Although Mr.. Kellogg re-
FUSED to consent, department officials
indicated they had anticipated such q
proceeding. inasmuch as the countesa'
lawyers had signified their intention
or resorttng to the courts In the ex.
tenslve correspondence EXCHANGED
with the department.
The petition was filed with the
clerk of the court and will not como
up for consideration until next week.
In 1t, the countess. whose exclusion
has been characterized by the stats
Department as juStifable under the
law, said the object of her visit was to
visit friends and TO arrange later for
lecture tour. She added that she
did not belong to any of the classes
excluded under the immigration act
OF 1924, and that the Secretary had
no right to exclude her
The legal proceedings are regarded
at the State Department as of un-
usual interest since they raise for the
first time for court Interpretation the
question of the discretionary powers
vested in the Secretary under exclu-
sion acts
Serious doubt is entertained by de.
partment officials that the department
head could be forced, even through
court action, to divulge information
received conf1dentially, and which IL
published, in their opinion, would be
contrary to the public interest.
Countess Karolyi was refused a
passport visa in Paris, and the State
Department has never made any
statement as to the specific reason for
the refusal. except that it was in COM
pliance with law. Attorneys for the
countess have addressed communica-
tons both to President Coolidge and
Secretary Kellogg demanding that this
information be furnished, but have
met with reiterated refusaIs.
