IS MITCHELL COMING BACK?

Back in 1925 and 26 Brigader General William Mitchell created quite a furore about the country by predicting what he could do with some good air planes, if the army had them and incidentally point ing out how many battleships could sink from the air It was in line with vigorous campaign he put tor- ward for a separate air force As result of some of his utterances the General forced resign from the Army. He at the time assistant Chief of the Air Corps. Since then the General has been at var- ous times thorn in the flesh of the military air forces result of of his suggestions and now reports emanate from the East that the former Army officer is giving the military aviation world another of jitters
 It is being rumored about that Gen. Mitchell may be restored to his old rank of Colonel which would make him eligible to retirement pay of s375 per month Mitchell Brigadier General by temporary ap- pointment only and if he rank it would be that of Colonel, his permanent appointment) But more disturbing to some sources is the report that under such arrangement Mitchell would be in position to be called to active service by the Com manderin Chief other than President Roosevelt
 A bill calling for returning the General to rank IS now before Congress and is said to the ap- prova of the White House There are those who be- eve the President might call Mitchell to active serv- ice and put him in charge of Department of Ar which would have control over all American aviation including the Army and Navy t29
 Mitchell is colorful figure. He enlisted in the army private in 1898 advanced through all the grades to Brigadier He resigned his commission on February l. 1926 after court martial in which he was charged with insuboroinate utterances against his Army superiors.
 It will be interesting watch and see if the old flying frebrand of a decade ago can come back to be the big man at the stick" in modern aviation

and endeared the chief even more to their hearts.
One of the most notable of Beverys many

H. B. Friele, Vice-President of the Nakat Packing Corporation, paused long enough in Juneau yesterday on one of his trips by plane to the Bristol Bay section, to give some movie gossip regarding the back ground of the filming of Barret Willoughby's story, Spawn of the North" Plans call for the picture to be made near Ketchikan and Waterfall cannery this summer. Carole Lombard and Joel McCrea will play the leading roles.
 When Miss Willoughby came north few years ago, she was very much interested in the romance of salmon fishing and packing" Friele said. She spent a good deal of time in Ketchikan and around the cannery, and became very well acquainted with the people of the town and the salmon industry. Den his Ryan, superintendent of the Hidden Inlet cannery furnished Miss Willoughby with a great deal of To- cal color and information, and en- abled her to meet a number of prominent Alaska residents who lat CT appeared in the pages of her book The result of all this was that Miss Willoughby's novel is one of the most authentic stories of Alaska to reach the American public.
