May oust Kehoe as Adjutant General
A report urging the dismissal of Adjutant General A S Kehoe of Kentucky and a call for him to apologize to Indiana and enlisted men at Camp Knox for ungentlemanly conduct has been forwarded to Governor Fields by Brigadier General E W Carter. The document claims Kehoe is disqualified for the post and cites alleged insults to enlisted men and the chaplain, prompting demands for an investigation and removal from service. Officials in Frankfort say they cannot confirm receipt as Governor Fields is away, and some consider the charges a political move after Carter’s earlier election defeat.
