WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-In the
course of another argument today be-
fore the senate naval committee as
to the relative worth of capital ships
and flying machines, high naval Off
GERS disclosed that a bomb, weighing
1000 pounds and loaded with INT
had been exploded recently aboard
the old battleship Indiana without de-
stroying any part of the vessel below
its protective deck.
The explosion, the officers said
would not have sunk the ship and did
not damage her below the water line,
despite the fact that her huh was not
nearly so strong as those of modern
superdreadnaughts
The officers were called before the
committee after Rear Admiral VIII

intendent of the naval academy, had
urged suspension of part of the 1916
building program to determine the fu-
ture value of capital ships in view of
the developments of aircraft and sub
