Both sides in the bomb-versus-
armor controversy claim the advan-
tage in the bombing attack made by
! the ex-Iowa, Wednesday. 100 miles
out at sea. and the verbal battle
continues to rage as strenuously
ashore as ever.
Members of the Senate who favor
the "battleship as backbone of the
clashes on board the observation

House. who generally favor Il re-

expenditure for $4,000 aircraft. which

! The battleship enthusiasts ridicule

| that the aircraft obtained only two
| direct hits in about four hours of

! Many air service officers expressed
