BODY OF BRONSON
is RECOVERED

Washington, Nov. s.-It was learn
ed today that the two naval lieuten-
ants who were killed yesterday at
Indian Head were experimenting with
bombs designed to be dropped on sub
marines. The bombs are of secret
design and constructed TO explode
under water Two bombs had already
been accurately dropped from the
aerop!ane near a small target re-
sembling a submarines periscope.
II was supposed yesterday that both
officers had been literally blown to
pieces. But today. Lieut. c K. Bron-
sons body was found Strangely
enough the only mark on the body
was a small scratch on the forehead
Surgeons believe the man may have
died from shock when the bomb ex-
ploded. The body Of Lieut. Luther
Welsh is still missing.
A board OF inquiry Will investigate
the hazard OF handling the bombs
which are very powerful.
