MITCHELL
AN(fRED
BY Navy
Retired Army Air Head
Blames Naval Men For
Lindbergh's Plight.
CHARGE d E n | E D
Assistant Secretary of
Navy Says Trouble With
Plane Unavoidable.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Wil-
liam Mitchell, formerly in charge
of United States army aviation ov-
erseas, charged today in letter to
the Washington Post that the navy
had used Charles Lindbergh for
propaganda purposes, and was
responsible for the motor troubles
in his esprit of ST. Louis.'
4 letter from Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Edward P. Warn
er, printed beside Mitchell's letter,
absolyed the navy from blame in
connection with the plane.
The controversy arose from the
fact that Lindbergh Monday Dor.
rowed an army plane for his flight
to New York after he found his
own motor working imperfectly. A
sticking valve, or, more tech
was blamed for the trouble, which
navy men and some aviation ex-
perts said could not be foreseen.
Mitchell said behind the Difficult
ty lay "the spirit which the navy
has always held toward aviation,
that of keeping it down and un-
DER
cit is the saying now Join the
navy and see the world, but join
the naval aviation and see the next
world, - he wrote.
Mitchell, who was the center Of
an aviation controversy in 1925,
which led to his retirement from
the army service, charged the navy
had incompetent directing heads"
in its air service and suggested the
navy was unwilling to admit that
battleships were useless in the light
of aviation development.
No Excuse Justified
He said there was no excuse for
permitting the Spirit of st. Louis
to be dampened by salt air enrouts
home aboard the cruiser Memphis
which Lindbergh was quoted in
New York as saying caused the
motor trouble.
Mitchell insisted the Iindbergh
flight had proved the correctness
Of the Mitchell position in favor of
special government department of
aviation.
Warner held the defect had been
developing for some time, said the
navy was blameless and suggested
that even had Lindbergh flown the
St. Louis to New York no harm
would have come to him.
