ITALY CONCEDED TO BE SUPERIOR
 IN AIR FORCES
Great Bombing Planes Will Test Out Ability of Big
 Battleships
By HOBART c. MoNTEE


 (Copyright 1885 by United Prcss)
 Washington, Sept. 19.-(UP) War between two great Europ- can powers in the Mediterranean. definitely would settle a long, standing controversy over superior ity of the airplane. or the battle- ship.
 This is one of the purely mate- rialistic views taken by military and naval experts here in their survey of the critical situation in Mediterranean waters where Great Britain has now concentrated most of her sea forces, and where Italy ie conceded to hold the air mas tery.
 No Test Possible Before
 No test under conditions ap- proximating those of wartime has ever been possible since the crea- tion of modern bombing planes. With the development of these swift engines of destruction, the arts of aerial gunnery and aerial bombing, and the destructive ca- pacity of aerial bombs have ad- vanced by rapid strides. They have kept pace fully with the speed, cruising range, bomb-carry- ing capacity and the safety of the planes themselves
 Balanced, against these advances in the air are the heavier arma- ment coverings for naval surfce ships. gret Improvements in anti aircraft guns and gunnery, devel- opment of sound and range finding devices for anti-aircraft fire con- trol, various detecting rays" and other equipment for warding off air attacks and destroying the air raiders.
 Naval Men Fearless
 Old line naval men profess little fear of bombing planes if the sur face ships are attacked on the open sea where they have an opportun- ity to maneuver and to fight back. They profess far more uneaslness over the Improvements made on submarines, both ships and torpe does, since the close of the World War.
 Air force officers, are fully con- fident that their new bombing planes will be able to give surface ships of any size or character

National Munitions Board Meets Tuesday
Decide on Control of Manufacture and ExpOrta- ton of All Munitions of War

Washington, Sept. 19.-(UP).- The first action of the federal gov- ernment toward control of the manufacture and exportation of munitions under the, neutrality act was taken today when Secretary ot State Cordell Hull called g meet, ing of the national munitions board for next Tuesday.
 This board is comprised of the secretaries of state, war, navy, treasury, and commerce. It's estab- lishment was authorized by the neutrality act. ,
 Under this act, all manufacturers of arms, munitions and implements of war must register the names of their respective firms with the state department and pay regis tration fee.
 Then, when arms, munitions and implements of war are defined by the munitions board, the firms manufacturing these articles must obtain special licenses from the board before any of the articles may be exported.
 Stafs Work Rapidly.
 Staffs of the state, war, navy, treasury and commerce depart ments have been working rapidly to compile a list of articles which may properly be considered jim plements of war"
 Specific funds for the board were lost when the late Sen. Huey P. Long flibustered the third defi- ciency bill at the close of congress. As Q result, the departments whose heads are members of the muni- tions board have been compelled to draw upon their regular staffs to do the work.
