the most famous prisoner ever
arrested by the House. In 1882, he
was held a prisoner by the SER
geant-at-arms of the House from
April 16 to May IA, because Of an
attack on representative, Will

final punishment was a public
reprimand' from the Speaker Of
the House, then Andrew Steven

Scribe In Treaty Case
In 1848, John Nugent, a New
York newspaper man, was arrested
by the Senate for publishing q
secret treaty. He was held a pris-
oner by its sergeantat-arms from
March % to April % when re-
leased because of i'll health.
His case became famous, be
cause he lost Q suit on . writ Of
habeas corpus when he sought re-
lease from his imprisonment.
The United States Supreme
Court has ruled four times di.
rectly upon the right Of Senate
or House to punish citizens for
contempt.
In the Anderson vs.. Dunn case.
decided about 1920, it ruled the
Judgment of either house on
what constituted contempt was
final and could not be reviewed
elsewhere.
It amended this decision in
the case of Kilbourne VS.. Thomp.
son, in 1880, holding that the
courts can review q contempt
case in either House or Senate.
Rule Of 1896
In this particular case, it ruled
the House had no right to ques-
ton Kilbourne and sustained his
suit for damages.
In 1895, the Supreme Court
passed on the issue again, in the
case Of I'm re Chapman" who
sought to halt his conviction in
the Federal Court here for defying
the Senate.
Then, the high court held that
so long as the inquiry was within
the scope Of the Senate's power
it could punish for contempt or
have the recalcitrant witness
prosecuted IN the courts.

PROF|TEERS IN
AIR SERVICE
Former Chief Scores Bureau
Gratis for Present Condi-
ton of Aviation Defense
BY International News Service

Assailing profiteers and bureau
Gratis, Brig. Gen. william Mitchell,
chief of the Army's World War
air service, today told the House
Military Affairs Committee that
American air power is unprepared
for war.
After hearing charges that
profiteers and bureaucrats have
rendered the army air service unfit
for war, the House Military At
fairs Committee today summoned
Assistant Secretary of War Harry
Woodring to testify tomorrow on
air corps purchases.
The committee heard from Gen.
Mitchell a charge that only 276
Of the army's 1900 planes are fit
for service against q modern air
foe.
Although the Army has 1900
planes, he asserted. that only 276
are fit to be sent into battle
against q modern air force.
Mitchell appealed for creation
of a single department Of ma
tional defense with single de-
partment of air to include Army,
Navy and civil aeronautics.
Mitchelrs testimony was in line
with a copyright interview
obtained by International News
Service yesterday in which he
declared that the United States
would be forced to purchase
planes in Europe in the event Of
war because "stock market
gamblers and profiteers" had
been chief beneficiaries under
our aviation policy.
Mitchell told the committee
that merchants had been in
charge Of aviation since 1925 and
profiteering had been rampant.
He urged the committee to make
a complete investigation Of the
air service.
He said:
81 got into my fuss because
/ tried to stop it. The Senate
committees investigation has
uncovered much, but / don't
think it has begun to scratch
the surface yet"
Mitchell said the Army has
about $50 pursuit planes, 70 OBJ
servation planes and Al bombers
fit for battle.
Reviewing the establishment
Of the Morrow board, in 1925,
which recommended the five-year
aviation program, Mitchell said:
Hung Themselves, He Says
''The pr0fiteers got busy.
under Coolidge and Hoover, mer-
chants were in control of the
Government and when you get
merchants in control, they plum
der the government. All we
could do was to let them hang
themselves, which they have
done in good style"

Six unnamed representatives of
automobile manufacturers were
on the list.
Meanwhile the United States
Bureau of Investigation started to

order to investigate all lobbying
complaints received from all Gov

Agitated over the whispered
claims of lobbyists that they have
Influence with the Administra-
ton" and for a fee can secure
various contracts, the President
initiated the current inquiry. He
had the Department of Justice
investigate the activities of lobby
lists in the War Department long
before Assistant Secretary Of War
Woodring made the fact public
and stated Silverman was barred
from doing further business with
the department.

CONTRACTS ON
AIR NJ ALL
Possibility Of Criminal Action
Is Also Being Considered
BY Postal Officials
BY International News Service

The possible cancellation OF air
mail contracts, whose value runs
into millions of dollars, will be
discussed at a conference this
afternoon between PRESIDE ent
Roosevelt and Postmaster General
James A. Farley.
Cancellation Of the contracts
has been under consideration ever
since the Black Committee Of the
Senate began unearthing evidence
Of irregularities in the awarding
Of them during the Hoover ad-
ministration.
After several months Of investi-
cation by postal inspectors and
attorneys, the Postoffice Depart
ment is about to announce what
action it will take with respect to
existing contracts.
May Reach Decision Today
A decision may be reached late
today after the President has had
an opportunity to 60 over the sit
uation with Mr.. Farley.
The Department is admittedly
in tough spot" in the whole
matter in the light of evidence so
far produced before the Senate
Committee investigating air mail
contracts.
The question of criminal action
is also being considered, but Of
ficialS declined to discuss this
phase.
Designed to prevent future air
mail contract scandals, an inter-
departmental advisory committee
was organized today with the ap-
proval Of the President.
Represented On Committee
The Army, Navy. Postoffice De-
partment, the Interstate Com
merce commission and the COM
merce department are represented
on the committee, to effect a
study "to ascertain to what ex-
tent coordination may be effect
ed and greater coordinating eff
cheney attained in promoting and
fostering aviation for military,
commercial and non-commercial
private flying"
The committee, Secretary Of
Commerce Roper announced, will
seek "a subvention policy and plan
for air mail contracts"
Trial Of Four Waits
Meanwhile the Senate Air Mail
Investigating Committee was in
recess, subject to call, while it's
experts assembled data to be
used in the trial of four men on
Friday on contempt charges.
The quartet, headed by former
Assistant Secretary Of Commerce
William P. MacCracken, jr., face
possible Jail sentences for re.
moval or destruction of air mail
files the committee had sub
poenaed from MacCracken. They
will be hailed before the bar Of
the Senate, which will decide
whether penalties up to a year in
jail shall be imposed.
