Americas Naval Policy
Hinges on Result of
Official Bombing Tests
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
Internn tional News Service.

ON BOARD u. s. s. HENDERSON,
of the Virginia capes, June 21.-
American naval policy is in the
! making today as a great air ar
? NADIA sweeps out to sea from the
Virginia capes.
The first of series of bombing
tests to prove the value of aerial
forces in naval warfare started to-
day. IL the air forces demonstrate
their effectiveness in sea fighting
and their ability to put out OF com
mission the modern naval fighting
ships, the naval policy of the United
States must Undergo change and
the great gray dreadnaughts must
fall into the backstream, while tho
nation develops it's air forces for
protection on land and sea.
MIST ENVELOPs SHORE.
The offshore mists had not lifted,
and sea breezes were but beginning
TO ruffle the morning calm, when the
distant whining of air motors was
heard today, above the tireless swish
ing OF the green-blue Atlantic.
Out OF the grey fog-banks. flying
in wide open formation, came the nrst
squadron OF the air fghters-swift.
single-seated scout planes, with
speed OF 100 miles an hour-the eyes
OF the air feet.
Foremost in the attacking force are
nine great F-5L type machines. each
with a capacity of four bombs. To
the rear there is vision of torpedo
planes, Martin bombers, with six
bombs each. Following these at in
tervsls of twenty minutes will come
the droning, moaning, triple -motored
NC type seaplanes and a marine corps
division OF OH planes.
At Langley Field. nervously tuning
mp under the direction of Brig. Gen.
BILLY" Mitchell, are the army fliers,
praying that in this first test they
may get shot at the target. The navy
fliers have the first opportunity to-
day.
DEsTROYERs READY.
Along the horizon there are bob
bing little destroyers, ever ready TO
give aid to any seaplane in distress,
hut watching with a jealous ey3 rs
the strength of the sea forces Is at
tackled from the air.
On board the Henderson Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, mem
bers of the Naval Affairs and Appro-
priations committee of Congress, and
others are watching anxiously. The
rails are lined with naval officers,
grim-visaged old sea dogs, and blithe
young junior officers all tense with
interest.
Official observers are ready to put
of in a small boat when the first at
tack has been made. After each at
tack, the observers will inspect the
enemy" taking measurements and
guaging the damage. Observations
will be made not only OF direct hits
hut of the effects upon the U-bost
of the detonstions OF bombs explod-
ing in close proximity.
Official results of the bombing may
not be known for weeks, for the rec

fate Of the missing ships. but they
are only theories and the Government
authorities are just as completely
puzzled today as they were when the
unknown irst swallowed up the
sturdy freighters.
aCYCLoPs- HAD SAME FATE.
In some quarters today the opinion
was expressed that wherever is found
the naval Collier CycIops there also
will be found the Hewitt and her
sister ships. The Cyclops vanished
from the face OF the sea several years
ago and never stick or stitch of her
has been seen since, nor have traces
of her crew been found.
The only tangible clew to the dis
appearance of the Hewitt was the
message washed ashore in a bottle
stating that the ship had been taken
over by pirates" The theory that
pirates of the Capt. Kidd variety are
operating in the Atlantic sea lanes,
or that n super-submarine with a
hidden base is still laboring under
the delusion that the war Is still on,
is so fart tastic, however. that officials
for the most part refused to consider
IL seriously.
SNH"
The theory which finds most favor
with those in charge of the search
is that the crews were planted"
with Bolshevist sympathizers before
leaving American ports, and that
these communistic crews took ad-
of a favorable opportunity,
seized the vessels and ran with thcm
to the security of Soviet port.
Those who hold this view, how
ever. admit it's fantastic aspects.
How three American cargo vessels
could sail across the Atlantic and
dodge into the ports OF Russia with
out leaving some trace of their go
ing Is difficult of belief.
II the ships had foundered In
heavy seas. some traces of them
would undoubtedly have been picked
up along the Atlantic seaboard. Yet
none has been discovered. The fur
ther the investigation continues the
more inexplicsble it becomes.
