Ayres Against Wife Wrote From Philippines
Col Charles G Ayres is said to have written a letter disapproving his wife's actions at West Point. The War Department has not received his reply to questions about remarks to reporters. Col Hugh L Scott denied any mistreatment of Ayres' son and said the Easter coat incident was not the cause of the ban. Col Howze dismissed the $100,000 suit as a joke and noted cadet romance on grounds was inappropriate.
