BIG SQUADRONS
ONLY EFFECTIVE
AIR RAID METHOD

By DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
International News Service.

lntcrnottonol news Defvtce.
Naval air attacks to be effective
must be In force. There viii be no
successful air. attacks upon surtace
craft. except by huge fleets OF aero.
planes. This 10 the consensus OF opin'
ion among naval and military experts,
both American and foreign, who have
been closely studying the results OF
the recent aerial bombing tests which
the navy has been holding off the Vir-
ginia Capes.
For the first time In history the rep.
resentatives of foreign governments
have been invited to witness tests
conducted by tho United States navy,
Perhaps 1t is the first time In history
that one nation has invited another to
help 1t devise new means of warfare.
Attaches Keen Observers.
The foreign attaches who have been
present at the bombing tests have
been most observant.. They are un.
willing to enter tho controversy as to
the relative merits of the aeroplane
and the batteship. but they all agree
that air attacks upon the navy must
be In force. The writer has talked
with British. French. Japanese and
Italian observers Of the bombing tests.
and In all Of these conversations
there has benn very frankly ex.
pressed belief that the aeroplane Ia

that comes singly to drop its load of

that. but they have an even chance Of

U. 8. 8. Iowa Out-Manoeuvered.
The recent tests In which the air

in operating against a surface craft,
which 10 able TO dodge nearly as
fast as the aeroplane. But one
attack was made upon the Iowa IN

that q new avenue OF war strategy

Ball Park After Rebuff
Gets Umpiring Lesson and Has
Week to Rehearse Until He
OfEiciaies as Such

Mayor Hylan, not without difficulty,
deadheaded his way into Dyckman Oval
yesterday, where Jeff Tesreau's team
was playing the Cuban Stars He is to
umpire a game there next week be-
tween teams from Fort Slocum and
Fort Hamilton, for the benefit Of the
Washington Heights and Inwood monu-
ment fund, and wanted to see how
umpires were being treated
He discovered that umpires received
much more consideration than mayors.
The man at the wicket looked him over
disdainfully when he said that he'd
like to go inside and get line on UNI
piring. The man at the wicket said
that he'd have to have d ticket to do
that and he'd better step aside because
lot of folks with tickets were wait
ing to get in.
AT that critical juncture the publicity
director of the monument fund tipped
the wink to the man at the wicket and
Mayor Hylan slipped in. He shook
hands with Tesreau. who let him see
how the umpire did business from the
viewpoint of the man on the mound
The Mayor revolved his right arm vic,
lently, clasping the while the ball Tes-
reau had passed TO him.
When he let go of it, the umpire re-
marked "Strike one!" and proceeded
to call another strike, ball and the
third strike.
"Thats easy" said the Mayor and
went home to rehearse.
