Investigation of
Former Army Officer 1 ant6
Congressional Inquiry Into
Retirement Order Against
Major General
Washington, Feb. 16.—tA*)—A con
gressional investigation of the recent
enforced retirement from the, army of
Maj. Gen. Adelbert Cronkhite. 80th
division commander In France, was re
quested yesterday by Jennings Wise,
who served as lieutenant colonel In the
division and who said that 50,000 of
his comrades in arms tinder General
Cronkhite were determined to stand j
by their old commander.
The request was contained in a let- :
ter sent to Senator Heed, republican, j
Pennsylvania, in whict) Colonel Wise ;
revealed that he was one of those
who helped prepare a pamphlet re
cently circulated among members of
congress setting forth the views of
General Cronkhtte’s friends regarding
his retirement.
Colonel Wise said also that Ashhy
Williams, also a lieutenant colonel In
the 80th division, and other former of
ficers and men of the division living
In Pittsburgh and Bethlehem, Pa., In
New York city and In Virginia and
West Virginia, had a part In prepar
ing and circulating the pamphlet. Both
Colonel Wise and Colonel Williams
are lawyers.
To Block Nomination.
Senator Heed was not ready to an
nounce whether he would comply
with the request that he Introduce a
resolution of inquiry. Otlfer senators,
however, including Senator Glass, dem
ocrat, Virginia, within whose state the
80th division was trained, made
known their intention to block con
firmation of General Cronkhlte's suc
cessor, Brig. Gen. Hanson E. E. Ely
of the army service school-at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan., until the facts
can be established.
fn correspondence with the War de
pertinent, published in the pamphlet.
General Cronkhlte attributed his re
tirement to his activity in seeking to
bring to JusticQ those responsible
for the death of his son. Major Alex
ander P. Cronkhlte, who was mysteri
ously shot in 1918 at Camp Bewls,
Washington. In one instance he was
quoted as declaring that the attorney
general had dropped the case at the
request of Beoretary Hoover, Senator
Calder, republican. New York, and
others, a statement which resulted
In denials from both Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Calder.
Urged Karly Trial.
His only action In the case. Secre
tary Hoover said, had been to write
a note to the attorney general saying
he hoped that Captain ltos'-nbluth,
one of the men indicted In connec
tion with the killing, could be given
an early trial.
Senator Calder likewise declared he
had sought only to expedite the trial
of the accused men. Because one of
them was a constituent of his, he
added, he had been so insistent that
anyone examining his correspondence
on the subject could see that he had
been "almost insulted” by the I)e
partment of Justice, because of the
attitude he took.
If in formal request for a congres
sional inquiry was addressed to Hena
tor Heed, Colonel Wise explained, b'
