Highest Officials Not Called For Mitchell
Wholesale subpoenas for defense witnesses were issued in the Mitchell court martial but the highest ranked on the list did not appear. The agreement bars calling Secretary Davis, Secretary Wilbur, Secretary Jardine, and Mr. Sanders, allowing testimony by deposition where feasible. The judge advocate warns that subpoenas do not bar objections to admissibility and that opening the air service controversy remains likely. About 70 witnesses, including Navy and Army officers and civilians, are to be examined when sessions resume.
