Richardson for Mitchell

The Pearl Harbor Committee, which few lawyers regard as a possible stepping-stone to fame, finally found a new counsel, decided to adjourn for ten days so that he could catch up with the estimated 1,500,000 words of testimony and records before questioning Admiral Kinimel and General Short.

Counsel Seth Whitley Richardson, 65, is a Republican. A mild-mannered man with a lucrative corporation practice in Washington, he served as an assistant attorney general in the Hoover administration. His boss then was William DeWitt Mitchell, whom he now succeeds as committee counsel. Unlike Mitchell, he will be paid for his services (at the rate of $750 a month).
