This was disclosed today by Brig. Gen. Earnest Bixby, Atterbury commanding officer, as & special congressional subcommittee inwvestigated possibility of accelerating the discharge process. In the vanguard of the investigating group, a subcommittee of the house military affairs committee was Rep. Forrest Harness of Kokomo. He was accompanied by Governor Gates.
