WASHINGTON. March 4-Rejection

standing features Of the sessions Of the
Goth congress which passed out today to
make way for the 9th congress, soon to
be called i'm extra session by President
Harding.
Swept into control Of both the senate
and house near the end of the war after
President Wilson had appealed to the
country in 1918 to return a Democratic
majority to congress, the Republicans
organized all committees at the opening
session in 1919 and Immediately launched
an attack on the administration. This
centered around the Treaty of Versailles.
which was tqiien up in the senate before
it WIS signed 1T Paris Ill.
Other acts Of the administration which
came in for criticism included the send
ing of troops TO Russia. the handling Of
deportation cases and the winding up Of
war contracts. Investigations of many
phases of war activities also We're under
taken and continued through most of the
nearly two years of the life of this, the
first Republican congress III eight years.
Four vptoeS of important measures by
the President also were overridden by the
66th congress. The measures repassed
after their diSapprOval by Mr.. Wilson in

of one important matter. the Knox reSolu-
ton TO declare the state of war with Ger

stood.
Besides the war inquiries many others
were conducted. including those into the
1919 steel strike, the spread of radical
propaganda. the coal and housing situa-
tons. the controversy between Secretary
Daniels and Rear Admiral Sims over
naval medal awards, campaign expendi-
lures shipping board operations. the Ford

cases, and the escape to Germany of Gro

evader.
International disarmament was a sub
ject occupying much attention ut the
closing session, inquiries being conducted
by both house and senate committees
Final action was deferred and the whole
question left over to the Harding admin
stration. The senate naval committee
recommended. however, that there be no
hating of American naval construction at
this time.
Important measures passed by the Goth
congress besides the prohibition enforce
ment law, the suffrage amendment. and
the resolution to revive the war finance
corporation included:

No Limit to Size of Bombs
Some Now Weigh $500 Pounds

Practically all It's employment has been
on the land and its bombs were designed
for use against unarmored even unfortifed
places. Nevertheless the American Air
Service now has bombs of LOO pounds the
French 1850 and the British have recently
developed bombs Of 1920 pounds. Such
weapons, they assert, can be developed 10
cope with practically any armor that may
be devised.
AS for the speed Of the warship. the
speedlest craft ahoat would have no chance
with an airplane In their opinion To illus
trate their contention that rapidly NOV
ing target IL cnsier for an airplane to hit
than one that is stationary, they use the
example Of n person endeavoring to pass
from one automobile TO another. II one
machine is standing still and the other ia
moving at forty miles an hour Il would be
impossible for a person TO make the trans
fer in safety. If both cars were running
Mt practically the same speed and were
abreast Of each other, the feat would be
much less difficult.
The idea that a ship might outmannuvre
an arplane causes most of the Air Service
men to laugh. They say any maneuvres
warshlp might make would be cow-like
compared with the quick turns Of an air
plane making 175 miles an hour.
Though Secretary Daniels admits the i'm.
portance Of aviation as a subsidiary factor
in naval warfare, he is opposed TO any
attempt to deprecate the Importance of the
capital ship.
"The capital ship" he says, els the lineal
descendant Of and development from the
ship of the line OF a century ago. New
types have arisen. as when the armorclad
came into existence, but the battleship or
It's equivalent has always survived. There
have always been those searching for some
thing simpler. and more especially cheaper,

Armor Is Much Thinner
And She Was Anchored

Replying to these contentious. naval Off
GERS point out that the Indiana was an
obsolete battleship Of much thinner armor
than that borne by modern warcraft; that
she was anchored, and that the bombs ex-
ploded on her deck were placed there.
They assert that under actual war condi-
tions the story would be vastly different.
A modern battleship has sixteen inches
Of steel armor on her sides and seven inches
on her decks; that she would be mannuv-
ring at speed up to % knots an hour,
and that all her anti-aircraft batteries
would be blazing away at any arplane with
temerity enough to approach her, Is to be
presupposed under wartime conditions, they
say.
