Gen. W.
A. Mitchell, Engineers' Veteran, Succumbs at 63 Was Thrice Decorated For Services Abroad; Taught at Academy Brig. Gen. William A. Mitchell, 63, retired, who was decorated three times for his World War service, died yesterday in Tuscumbia, Ala.
He had left his home at 1601 South Arlington Ridge road, Arlington, to administer a sister's estate when he was stricken with a heart attack. colonel during the World War, Gen. Mitchell commanded the 2d Engineers, 2d Division, in the battles of Chateau Thierry, Soissons, St. Mihiel, Blanc Mont, Attigny, Argonne and Meuse, and in the march to the Rhine. He was recommended for promotion to brigadier general while in France and was cited by the commander in chief of the A.
E. F. "for exceptionally meritorious and conspicuous service in duty of great responsibility." He was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, Croix Guerre with and made officer thes den cre of the Legion of Honor. He returned to the United States in 1919 and was assigned as instructor in the General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kans. Later he was appointed professor of engineering at West Point, where he wrote or revised many of the textbooks used by Army engineers.
Native of Alabama, he graduated in 1902 from the United States Military Academy No. 1 in his class, He entered the Corps of Engineers served in the Philippine Islands and in Cuba before returning to West Point as an instructor in 1907. He is survived by two sons, Capt. Joseph Mitchell. U.

it did not mean conditions might not be otherwise in the future. He reminded his conference that the defense program reaches down into a multitude of generally overlooked lines of production. Bottleneck Situation. At this point a questioner asked if the Allis-Chalmers strike, while perhaps not affecting any greater proportion of production, is not of greater importance because of delaying the manufacture of tools required for powder plants. Mr.
Roosevelt acknowledged that this is a bottleneck situation, but added that the effect of one specific situation could not be applied to all of defense industry. It was at this point that he expressed his emphatic disapproval of the so-called jurisdictional strikes and the work interruption at Wright. Field, foremost aviation testing ground of the Army. It is the present hope, he said, that whatever labor agency is created may be set up without additional legislation. No Opposition to Position.
Asked about his luncheon conference on Wednesday with Philip Murray, president of the C. I. Mr. Roosevelt said the labor leader did not express any opposition to his general position on the labor situation. Mr.
Murray has submitted to Sidney Hillman, associate director of the O. P. written notice that the C. I. O.
is opposed to re-establishment of the World War Mediation Board. When newsmen, discussing jurisdictional strikes, remarked that a Supreme Court decision had said these disputes could not be interfered with, remarked that that generalization. withes He said one case might go before the court and be decided one way, but that a second case which would look exactly the same to a layman might be decided differently by the court. Asked how jurisdictional strikes could be handled without resort to legislation, Mr. Roosevelt said he did not know and that that was one of the difficulties.
Hails Hillman Statement. He decided as theoretically grand a statement by Mr. Hillman to the House Judiciary Committee that jurisdictional disputes could be handled well through men at the top exerting pressure down the line. There are many cases in which that procedure works out, he said. There are such cases where people are hot under the collar at each other, but the dispute is settled the advice of the head people, or by advice from Washington, where union headquarters are located.
There are also jurisdictional disagreements which cannot be solved in that way, he said. Asked whether the question of drafting workers from non-defense industries into defense plants faced with labor shortages was part of his study, the President responded in the negative. Drafting, he indicated, is not contemplated. Mr. acknowledged that concern Roosevelt, felt about a short- age of nickel.
Present supplies, he explained, are not enough to meet both military and civilian needs in full. He did not indicate what action is contemplated. Although still following 8 curtailed daily schedule, the President planned a luncheon conference with Averell Harriman, businessman and financier who soon is to leave the O. P. M.
for special liaison duty with the United States Embassy in London. Utilities Spent Million On Political Ventures, Power Quiz Reveals Northwest Firms Protest Order to File Report of Intended Expenses By the Associated Press. A Federal Power Commission trial examiner asserted today that "ill advised political adventures" of five Oregon and Washington utilities have, "not surprisingly, alarmed public opinion in the Northwest." The examiner, Samuel H. Crosby, in a report made public today, asserted that in the last five years, the companies had spent more than a mililon dollars in political activities. He concluded that "fully threefourths of that amount was spent to accomplish objectives of a political nature and that the balance included charges questionable both as their political character and as to their accounting disposition." The commission itself, in a recent report, had found a similar amount expended and said that half of it was charged to "consumer service." The companies, complying with a commission order, filed ments of intended expenditures estates year, but contended the order was unfair because among other things, it did not apply to all utilities or to public bodies--the Bonneville Power Administration and the Seattle light department.
The utilities concerned were the Puget Sound Power Light Washington Water Power PaPower Light Northwestern Electric Co. and the Portland General Electric Co. Stowe (Continued From Page A-9.) est weakness in front of Hitler is this--we Americans spend hours and hours discussing Hitler, what he thinks and what he may do next, instead of reading his "Mein Kampf" and getting his program clearly in our minds. Q. If Germany fails to win war with England, what will the German people do? DANIEL POPOVICH, Chicago.
A. If Hitler loses this war Germany's people will certainly place the chief responsibility on him and the Nazi party. I suspect they will suppress the Nazis in very conclusive fashion once defeat from abroad seems inevitable. Q. Do you not think that were England to have an overwhelming mastery on sea and in the air, she could defeat Germany without having to make large-scale land invasion of that country? DAVID FRISCH, Chicago.
A. Yes. I am convinced that Germany's civilian morale can be shattered most seriously through aerial bombardment, beginning perhaps in spring of 1942. Once Germany cracks behind the lines more and more of Germany's troops of occupation would have to be drawn home to keep order. Q.
What will happen if Hitler takes Britain; will he try to invade America? HENRY MANELLA, Chicago. A. If Hitler defeats Britain, he has made it clear in his writings and speeches that he intends rule the world. He will most certainly plan to conquer America-but not necessarily by military invasion. Hitler conquered Norway, Holland, Belgium, France and Rumania from within first.
The Nazis very frankly state that America, with all its mixed racial elements and conflicting regional interests, exposed to their "Trojan horse" technique than any other nation in the world. I think talk about a Nazi military invasion of America is most misleading and is a very dangerous thing because it distracts public attention from the one Nazi weapon that they have already perfected and are already using against us. If Britain falls, I believe the United States will not be able to remain free alone. It seems to me most probable, in such a case that within Ave years Hitler would have his own kind of government established in Washington a dictatorship and established chiefly by Americans who have served as witting or unwitting tools of the Nazis. Q.
In one article you stated that the Nazis attempted to invade England and failed. If this is true, why has England denied it, as to publicize this fact would have raised the morale of its people and Allies? MISS BERTHA LONG, Chicago. A. There is evidence to indicate that the Nazis started an invasion but that it was nipped in the bud. I do not know why the British government in that case failed to publicize the matter.
Brown (Continued From Page A-9.) though in the first few weeks of combat the war might appear to go against them. The Russians are reported to have signified to Angora their intention of remaining neutral for the time being. But that is all. Premier Molotoff has refused to give any definite assurances that in the event the Turks would not fare better than the Poles the Russion armies concentrated in the Caucasus would not sweep across the border and take Turkish territory. The reported presence of an increasing number of German units in Africa makes the British military effort in the Balkans less effective.
It necessarily compels the British to keep a larger number of airplanes and mechanized units in that theater of operations than they would have kept if the Italians had been their only foes. The uncertain attitude of the French compels the British high command to take into consideration the fact that the Germans might endeavor to land important forces on the flank of the British Army. The attitude of the Russians makes the Turks fearful of what may happen to them in the event of a war with the Germans when Hitler could easily afford to offer the Russians most of Eastern Turkeyor if need be, Istanbul and the Dardanelles, which can be of little use to the Germans if they succeed establishing their "new order in Europe." National Air Board Offers Eleven- Point Safety Program Confidence in Commerce Department's Control Shaken, Group Says Declaring public confidence in aviation control by the Commerce Department has been shaken, the National Aeronautic Association today called for a general tightening of Federal regulations governing bad weather flying. airline accidents "are not necessarily due to the transfer of civil aviation to the Commerce Department." "Charges to this effect, nevertheless, have shaken public confidence in the department," the association said in a announcing its program. "It is to the interest of all that the circ*mstances be fully examined and that the public know the whole situation, whatever it may be." The association pointed out that recent air disasters "are traceable in large degree to bad weather." The association's program follows: 1.
A special board of prominent citizens, expert in aviation, should be formed at once review the entire situation and make recommendations. 2. All existing safety regulations, enforcement methods, and accident investigation procedures should be immediately reviewel and tightened wherever necessary. 3. The Salt Lake accident involved, a among other causes, the competence of a C.
A. A. employe. There should be an immediate review of the qualifications of all C. A.
A. and C. A. B. employes whose work affects air safety and the dismissal, demotion, or transfer of all who do not measure up to standard.
4. To minimize the possibility of human errors in judgment, a tightening of regulations is necessary to limit the discretion of individuals as to take-off and flight in bad weather. Responsibility for observing regulations should be increased, with strict penalties, including pension and dismissal, for infractions. 5. Scheduled flights were cleared with ceilings as low as 300 feet.
This was true at Atlantic, (scene of the recent crash Representative Byron, Democrat, of Maryland was killed and Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker seriously injured). Last Saturday the C. A.
A. increased minimum ceilings by 200 feet. Minimuni ceilings should be 800 feet at night and 500 feet in the daytime. 6. Improved methods of pilots' receipt of pressure readings for correcting altimeter readings and more sensitive altimeters are necessary.
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics should be given funds for perfection of an altimeter which records the height above ground at all times without depending on barometric pressure. 7. N. A. C.
A. should also be given funds for development of an improved method for clearing windshields of fog, moisture or ice, particularly important at night. 8. Radio beam failure was also involved in the Salt Lake accident. Congress should grant funds for high-frequency radio ranges on all airways.

0123 ATI. 6700 WA 1221 U.S. to Net $98 Profit on Every $100 Paid in Income Tax By the Associated Press. The Treasury calculated today it will make about $98.88 "profit" on every $100 in income tax paid by some 15,000,000 Americans currently struggling over returns. In other words, the statisticians found the Treasury was spending $1.12 for every $100 in in income tax it collected.
The overhead goes into such items as printing up more than 50,000,000 blanks, hiring collectors and bookkeepers, catching swindlers, correcting honest taxpayers' mistakes and doing research. One of the most important items of overhead investigation to trap willful tax evaders. This work is headed by Elmer L. Irey, who went to high school with G-Man J. Edgar Hoover.
the last couple of years Mr. Irey has convicted and put behind bars such men as M. Annenberg, Philadelphian, who failed to pay taxes on his racing wire services; John Torrio, prohibition era big shot, and Tom Pendergast, Kansas City political boss. Mr. Irey's boast is that his office collects $60 in taxes for every dollar it spends--taxes that would not otherwise be paid.
Annenberg was his biggest money catch. Besides 3-year prison term, Annenberg promised to pay $8,000,000 in back taxes plus interest and penalties that may bring his bill to more than $12,000,000. Wary of helping would-be evaders, officials declined to discuss common methods tax dodgers, but recent cases have shown many instances when fake or padded salaries were used as business deductions and sometimes an imaginative financier ties his affairs into such a multiplicity of interrelated corporations that his real income is hard to determine.
