New Borglum Charge at Inventors Meeting in Washington
At a meeting of about 64 American Inventors Association members in the Board of Trade rooms last night Gutzon Borglum sent a letter accusing the aircraft production board and noting the death of Mayor Mitchel. He claimed training planes have the world’s highest casualty rate and questioned the Mitchel incident. Inventor Charles O Haskell described offers from Germany and dangers to his life, recounting a Noisy submarine plan and warnings from a naval official. Frank Warrick urged a bureau to aid inventors, while others raised mustard gas issues and Navy Department records searches. A glimmer of progress came from C W Wiegand of Los Angeles who spoke of a successful shipping board visit. John E Logan noted wire entanglements at the Capitol grounds.
