Show Mitchell Touted For Police Job Washington. Appointment of Colonel Col-onel William Mitchell, under sentence of five years' suspensian from his army rank, pay and duties, as police commissioner of New York city has been proposed to Mayor-elect Walker by Representative Bloom, Democrat, New York. If the former assistant chief of the air forces was acceptable for the post, Representative Bloom told Mr. Walker, he had no doubt congress would enact any legislation necessary to make the appointment possible. Colonel Mitchell, whose sen- i tence remains to be passed upon by the war department and President Coolidge has not been approached on the proposal. He is out of the city after his long confinement to the District Dis-trict of Columbia, during the court martial trial which ended in his conviction con-viction on charges of misconduct "to the prejudice of good order and military mil-itary discipline." Mayor-elect Walker, who takes office January 1, has announced an-nounced the personnel of his administration. |
