HOUSE GROUP VOTES.
FOR WARSH|P FUND.
MCCIintic and Adams Debate
Merits of Aircraft and
BattIeShips.

Following debate between Secretary
of the Navy Adams and Representative
McClintic, Democrat, Oklahoma, on the
relative merits of aircraft and battle
ships in the next war" the House
naval affairs committee today voted its
approval of the bill 10 moderuize three
battleships at cost of 10000 900.
BY agreement among the committee
members, Chairman McClintic will not
press the measure on the floor at this
time, but will seek its adoption by the
House in December. The bill would
provide for elevating guns, adding bills
ters" and renewing boilers on the bat
tIeships New Mexico, Mississippi and
Idaho.
Secretary Adams told the committee
the alterations were imperative in order
to establish parity with Great Britain
under the terms of the London naval
treaty. He urged that the work start
al once, because of the industrial sit
uations" at the navy yards.
Wanted Plane Provisions.
The discussion between the Okla
homan and the Navy Secretary pre-
ceded an unsuccessful attempt by the
former to amend the bill so as to pro-
vide skeleton decks or other facilities
for launching bombing planes from the
battleShips.
Secretary Adams took issue with Nc
Clintic's claim that the World War had
shown the superiority of submarines
and deStroyerS over battleships and that
subsequent development of bombing
airplanes and dirigibles has rendered
battleships ineffective in war.
The committee heard a revival of a
controversy which has continued since
the hectic days of disturbance featured
by the court-martial of Gen. william
Mitchell for "insubordination" Gen.

tends battleships have become the prey
