Propose Catapult
Impetus for Planes
Leaving Ships at Sea

Washington. Jan. NAVAL air.
planes. instead OF taking or" from
the decks of ships while at sea win
be hurled from catapults if expert
ments of the Navy department prove
successful. the House naval commit
tee was told today by Captain T. T.
Craven. director Of navy aviation.
Tests are being made. he said, at the
Washington navy yard where 1t is
planned to shoot seaplane from q
catapult soon to see if>the plan is
feasible.
He said he is convinced the new
method would prove superior to pres
emit attempts to get under way from
decks, limited in size.
The navy is attempting also to
construct collapsible planes, the
committee was informed. SO they can
be taken down and stored inboard
during bad weather at sea. The
present system of keeping planes, on
top of the turrets. he said. has proved
unsatisfactory as they are in the
way and obstruct vision.
An appropriation of $35,00,o00 has
been requested for naval aviation
during the coming fiscal year. 1t
was urged that considerable sum-
be expended on the Coco Solo station
at the Panama Canal, in order to
protect the canal adequately.
