Friends Of Col. William Mitchell,
one Of the country's most famous
aviators, are up in arms over the
"snubbing" which they contend has
been administered him by officials
in charge of the Lindbergh recep-
ton.

f1ier in the Army and Navy has
been included in the reception com.
mittee. Mitchell's name is conspicu-
Gus by its absence.
His friends attribute the slight
to criticisms OF the former flying
general" of the Administration air
policy. Mitchell was court-martialed
as q result or his utterances and
reduced from the rank OF brigadier
general to that OF colonel.
Members OF Costello Post, Ameri-
can Legion, of which Colonel Nit.
chell is commander, also are irate.
regarding the alleged affront to
their commander as q slap at the
post. They declare that Colonel
Mitchell has not been invited TO

Amos A. Fries, commander OF the
District department Of the legion.
