Father Proud Of Mitchell
In Saving Remagen Bridge
By the Associated Press.

by Lue Associated fTeSS.
PITTSBURGH, Mar. 10.-A proud
father today said modestly he was
happy If his son, 1t. John Batten-
field Mitchell, 27, had the oppor-
tunity to help save the Remager
Bridge from German explosives.
Dispatches from the front identi-
fled 1t. John Mitchell of Brentwood
a Pittsburgh suburb as the officer
who led American engineers to the
bridge and 1t. Mitchell was credited
with cutting wires to the explosives
cache.
Elated by his sons achievement
the father, Walter s. Mitchell, gave
credit to the young mans training
in the Army, adding:
"The armored engineers have been
trained what to look for and where
to look for 1t. Such an act was not
unlike John, but everything de-
pended on whether he got the op-
portunity. He was very fortunate. y
The soldiers mother died several
years ago. 1t. Mitchell joined the
Army three years ago yesterday and
went overseas last August.

Court 10 Conclude
Phone Case Monday

The Supreme Court will hear con.
cluding arguments Monday on the
appeal Of q local hotels from q
District Court decree banning the
collection of service charges ranging
roughly from 10 cents to So on long
distance calls placed by guests from
their rooms.
The case, which stemmed from q
Federal Communications Commits
sion order banning the extra charge,
got under way late yesterday with
Parker McCollester, hotel counsel,
asserting that I'VE are dealing with
a hotel service as distinguished from
a telephone service"
The commission contends that the
excess charge is in violation Of the
tariffs covering long-distance tolls
which the Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co., is required by law to
file.
The phone company has a regu-
lation prohibiting the hotels from
fixing the charges, and the hotels,
in turn, assert the phone system
lacks authority to enforce such a
rule.
Mr.. McCollester told the court
that the hotels pay the phone COM
pany for the use of its equipment
and facilities and themselves fur
nish the personnel to handle the
calls. The charge is assessed to
cover the cost Of operation, he said
The District Court decree was
issued last February.
The Supreme Court ordinarily
would recess for two weeks Monday
Immediately after the regular ses-
sion for handing down decisions
but with this case unfinished, agreed
to sit until it disposed of the matter

NEW YORK, Mar. 10.--An Ameri-

yesterday that he knew the airlfner

told Civil Aeronautics Board hear
ing that he had discussed the wealth.
er before the flight with Capt.
James Stroud, pilot Of the plane and
one of II killed in the crash.
Mr.. Ehrke, stationed at La
Guardia Field here, said he first
marked the fight for 5000 feet, but
that he changed the marking to
1000 after Capt. Stroud asked what
he thought of the lower altitude
and he replied that the plane would
be under all clouds and have good
visibility.
Icing Seen Possible.
Witnesses had testified earlier that
the plane struck the Virginia
mountainside at between $500 and
4 900 feet.
Mr.. Ehrke, one of four meteor.
ologists who testified yesterday, said
he had expected rainy, foggy
weather to improve after Capt.
Stroud's flight left Washington, but
that the improvement did not occur.
Kenneth S. Norquest, Weather
Bureau meteorologist, said icing
conditions might have existed at
1000 feet when the crash occurred,
but that they would not have been
serious matter.
Flight Plan Filed.

agent for American Airlines, WASH
ington, testified that Capt. Stroud
had filed fight plans for 1000 feet
from Washington to Nashville.

government of neighboring Thai
land to accept three-point pro-
gram including pledges to seize and
disarm all Frenchmen escaping
across the border and to increase
the flow of supplies to japanese
forces in Indo-C China.
Japs Accuse French.

French colony, Tokyo accused the
French of trying secretely to join
hands with the Allies.

officials had co-operated with the
United States Air Forces and Amer
lean submarines and declared that
American planes had dropped sup
plies to French forces in the colony

The colony has been occupied by
the japanese since before Pearl
Harbor, but Tokyo has announced
repeatedly. that administration had
been left up to French officials there.
The broadcast said French forces
had failed to fire on American raid
ers and instead they sheltered and
accorded the best treatment to
enemy airmen who bailed out after
their planes had been shot down ~
japanese forces"
