WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-Complete
details Of the bombing experiments to
be conducted by the army and navy
Jointly, to determine the effectiveness
Of aircraft against capital ships, were
announced to-day by Secretary Daniels
The aerial-naval warfare will be
staged within a zone between fifty and
100 miles off tho Atlantic Coast be-
tween Cape Hatteras and Cape Hen
lopen. The tests are to begin as soon
as practicable after June I and be con-
cluded by July Is.
The experiments are expected to de-
eide definitely the controversy which
has been raging between the army air
service and the navy over the superi-
ority Of aircraft against capital ships.
This controversy was precipitatcd by
Brigadier General William Mitchell,
director Of operations Of the army air
service, who testified before the naval
committees of Congress that aircraft
development had made capital ships
obsolete.
The battleship Iowa, operated under
radio control and steaming at its maxi
mum speed, Is to be the target for
army and navy flyers who will be per-
mitted to drop dummy bombs Of stand
ard size to ascertain the degree of ac-
curacy that can be maintained at an
altitude Of 1000 feet.
Former German Warships Targets
Actual tests with live bombs will be
made against the former German war
vessels, which are to be destroyed un-
der the provisions Of the agreem ent
made by the Council of Ambassadors.
The German vessels assigned to the
United States for destruction include
four submarines, three destroyers, the
German light cruiser Frankfurt and the
In addition, the Navy Department
will place one of the later type of the
obsolete battleships, probably the Ken
lucky, at the disposal of the army
flyers for experiments to develop tao
tics of offshore aerial attacks on war
ships by land planes.
The joint army and navy board,
which dratedf the rules and regulations
for the tests, recommended that the
experiments and the conclusions drawn
therefrom be held secret by the War
and Navy departments until passed on
by the joint board.
There will be no prohibition against
descriptions of the warfare being made
public, Secretary Daniels said, but the
military knowledge which will develop
in the tests is to be held secret until
it has been deemed expedent to make
it public.
Tests Have Three Phases
According to the plans for the war
fare, the experiments are to be con-
due d in three phases, described as
follows:
(a) The location by aircraft of ma
val vessels operating in a zone off the
coast, and after the location of such

Mrs. Adams Against
WOman's Welfare
Post i'm Cabinet
Assistant Attorney General
Charges Men Seek to Gre
ate New Jobs toBlock Fem
inine Meddling in Theirs

Mrs. Annette Abbott Adams, Assist
ant Attorney General of the United
States. attacked the suggestion of a
woman's welfare department in the
Presidential Cabinet at lecture
before the women members of the Ma
t'onal Civic Federation yesterday at
the Cosmopolitan Club. She deplored
the tendency Of men to create new po-
sitions for women instead of giving
them a chance at the jobs already ex-
listing, and declared that the proposed
department. would be "hodgepodge,
not resulting in any good to women"
Her lecture was the last in a
series on "The After War Challenge to
Women" In it she warned the women
that, with equal suffrage, there still
existed the necessity for equalizing
laws in regard to property and the
home interests of women, and in per-
mlttlng women on jurios.
There are only a few instances, even
IN the suffrage states, of women hold
ing political Office" she said. "Thc
Jobs for women in order to prevent us
from meddling with the things they
like to do themselves. For Example,
there is talk in Washington of giving
ell matters of interest to women into
the charge of a department of well
fare. Many Of the matters concerning
women, such as the bureau of women
in industry. which belongs in the De-
partment Of Labor, should not be CEN
tered in one department., and the whole
thing is likely to be hodgepodge,
not resulting in the welfare of women.
The |. W. w. have policy which
they call boring, which it might be we'll
for women to adopt. That is, we must
work from the inside out, not from
the outside in. The only way for
women to learn enough about govern
rlent affairs to be competent to handle
departments is to get into the depart
nents. We want to get into the es-
tablishod positions, not to have new
ones created for us on the outside
We do not want to be sidetracked."
Mrs. Adams came to Washington in
June. 1920, as the first woman
Assistant Attorney General in the
country. She had been Assistant
United States Attorney since 1912 She
told the women yesterday that in her
experience she had found the women
jurors of California were competent
and glad to serve in the courtroom.

johnson Calls
Political Revolt
Story Absurd
Knows Nothing of Move in
California to Make Hoo
yer State Leader and Own
Reelection Impossible
Foes Eager for a Fight
Senator Denies He Plans
Running for Governor in
1922 to Mend Fences

Senator Hiram Johnson, of California
yesterday characterized as absurd the
recurring reports from his homo state
that his followers there are desertine
him for Herbert Hoover, and that ir
order to mend his political fences Sen
ator Johnson will not seek reelection
but will try again to become Governor
of California at tho end of his tevm
two years hence.
"To-day is the first time I havo heard
Of the story" said Mr.. Johnson. Il dc
not know anything about & movement
to make Mr.. Hoover Republican leader
Of the state, or about the other feature
Of the story, that | api going to drop
out of the Senatorship in order to run
for Governor again. The story Is
absurd. do not care to discuss il
further"
The story from California is that
eighteen out of the twenty-six oele-
gates who were for Johnson to the end
of the balloting in the Chicago conven-
tion have swung away from him and
are organizing movement to make
Hoover the state leader.
These delegates, 1t is asserted, be-
lievo that Senator Johnson's resent
ment over the appointment of Hoover
as Secretary of Commerce will lead
directly to his heading an opposition
to President Harding in the Senate
The anti-J ohnson men in California
are reported to be spelling for fight
The Senator has had the upper hand
since the 1912 campaign, when he made
opposition to the alleged domination
of the Southern Pacific Railroad his
campaign issue. His election as Sen
ator in 1916 by more than 100000
plurality and the loss of the state to
President Wilson left his supremacy
unchallenged. He carried the 1926
primaries against the opp sition OF
the Hoover men, and there was moth
ing to challenge his control until
sident-elect Harding invited Hoover
to enter the Cabinet.
This invitation was followed by SEN
ator Johnson suddenly announcing his
opposition to the traction reorganiza-
tion plans advocated by Hoover's most
powerful New York State ally, Gov
ernor Nathan L. Miller.
Advices from the Pacific Coast say
that the Hoover men are organizing
to wrest control of the state from SEN
ator Johnson, and that they have be-
come SO formidable that Senator John
son is likely to seek election as Gov
ernor in 1922 in order to keep his
grip on the state organization. If he
ran for Governor he would have the
support of the Hearst newspapers in
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
