know, how Douglas Macarthur. or
any of his other good friends on

Arthur's role in that other "insub-

has been revived by Senator
Wiley, Republican. Of Wisconsin.
who documents his version Of 1t in
letter written him by Gen. Mac
Arthur in 1945. Senator Wiley
explains he had written the gen.
eral about q pending resolution
to promote Gen. Mitchell posthu-
mously to major general, and
asked whether it was not true that
Gen. Macarthur had cast the lone
dissenting vote in the court
martial.
This is the letter the Senator
got back from the Pacific COM
mander and placed in the Con-
gressional Record:
Dear Senator Wiley:
Thank you very much for the
many kind generous expressions
contained in your letter which has
just reached me.
IT was one of Billy Mitchell's
most intimate and devoted friends
from the beginning to the end
Our families came from the same
spot, Milwaukee, and enjoyed the
most cordial intimacy for many
decades. Your recollection of my
part in his trial is entirely cor
.Irect. It was fully known to him
and he never ceased to express his
gratitude for my attitude. II
would be ridiculous for any one
to say that posthumous honors
that might be granted to him
would be embarrassing to me. He
was a rare genius in his profess
sion and contributed much to
aviation history.
"I know nothing of the dis
cussion involved in your resolu-
ton but do know that any part
played in his career would have
no bearing whatsoever on the
matter. Out here we are making
excellent progress.
with renewed expressions OF
thanks and appreciation,
"Very faithfully,
DOUGLAS MACARTHUR"
