cated by acts of a Congress that once brushed him off; is now hon. bred by military men who sit in the same chairs of those generals who contributed to his court mar tial and disgrace.
 Perhaps unfortunately for the ! nation, there is no one individual screaming at the top of leather lined lungs about the consequence es of the Bikini atomic bomb tests as Mitchell yelled for unified de- pertinent of defense, with Army, Navy, and air branches; for air craft carriers; for airfields in the Aleutians.
 When Bill Mitchell made his tests in 1921, he was operating un- der orders designed to make suc- cess of the experiment virtually impossible. Those orders were that he was not to use anything heavier than a 600-pound bomb and that the bombing planes must fly at 10000 feet or higher when | they dropped their bombs. 1 Mitchell violated both orders when he and his infant airforce sank the German battleship Ost- friesland off the Virginia Capes. His planes carried one-ton bombs and although one of them got to the height of ll,O00 feet on the previous test, most flew at height of mile or slightly over. Considering the antiquated planes, the lack of adequate bombsights, the fact that they had to fly their loads 60 miles off shore and dump them without the aid of modren mechanisms, the miracle is that they hit anything at all.
 But the Ostfriesland went down in from four to 20 minutes. 0Of- ficial reports vary that much).
 Air Commodore Francis Charl- ton of the British Navy, who was one of the observers, messaged Mitchell: "This shot will ring around the world. am leaving for England convinced that yod have shaken naval tactics to their foun- dation. May Lord Nelson rise from his tomb and smite me if I'm wrong"
 Those few who remember when Brig. Gen. Billy" Mitchell proved to the world that bombers could sink a battleship will have at least one eye on the foreign observers and their reaction when the joint chiefs of staff conduct their atomic bomb experiments in the almost land-locked lagoon of Bikini atoll.
 It having been 1921 when Mi 1 chlels so-called "fool-luck" sank the German cruiser Frankfort and the German battleship Ostfries- land off the Virginia Capes, there were no German observers aboard the transport Henderson.
 But in less time than it takes to tell it, Mitchell got cable from Germany asking for 3,000-word report on the experiment from Berlin's widely read scientific publication, "Gasschutz und Luft- schutz." Somebody must have been around.
 On deck of the Henderson was one observer who wasn't making any secret of it. He was the Hon. G. katsuda, member of the Tokyo
