ceded publicly that an airplane
might be able to sink a battleship.
Let's enter a hypothetical war.
An enemy is approaching our
shores. A warning has been
sounded.
The Carriers Brood
Ashore are the Air Corps heavy
bombing planes, the largest cap
able of flying 1890 miles, unload
ing several thousand pounds of
eggs" and returning without re-
fueling.
Cooperating with the defense
fleet are the navy's slower. heav-
lily armed patrol bombers- On
cruisers and battleShips of each
fleet are nests of scouting and OBJ
servation planes, and on aircraft
carriers are several hundred COM
bat observation. and light bomb
ing machines.
The usefulness of the carriers
broods can be discounted beyond
500 miles from their base. Excep-
tiona1ly vulnerable TO attack, the
carriers viii remain far behind
the zone of battle. s.-.
With the enemy still q thousand
miles out, a dozen. Air Corps
bombers take off to meet him
But, the navy interposes. how
IS the army going to find him?
Well. runs the answer. the Utah
was found in a search of 10000
square miles OF ocean: to find a
whole fleet should be easy.
All right, says the navy. The
enemy has been spotted. but the
enemy also has spotted the army.
and a swarm of fighting planes is
rising from every ship.
A curtain" Of anti-aircraft
shells is being thrown athwart
the bombers' line of flight
A New Idea
Not so fast, says the army: ID
Enemy observation units are off
on missions and the surprise is
complete: o. Only a few enemy
combat planes are in the air, and
the rest are being launched too
slowly to worry about; 81 The
carriers, looming ike the broad
side of a barn, can be dispatched
quickly; "a Anti-aircraft fire is
innocuoussat 10000 to $4,000 feel
Very well, retorts the navy with
deadly finality, but the airplanes
can't sink the battleShips; and as
for ''haraSsing" the enemy, sub
marines and torpedo boats can do
a better job.
The Air Corps recently pulled
a new idea out of its sleeve. How
about laying down q. blanket Of
deadly gas, 1t asks, and let the
elaborate ventilating systems of
enemy ships suck in. the fumes?
The navy, which can give as
wen as take, win have an answer
to that one soon.

REORGANIZATION

MUCH OPPOSITION
JAMES TRUSLoW ADAMS AND
SENATOR cHAS. ANDREWS
AMONG OUTSTANDING oP-
PoNENTS OF BILL
Especial % Fhe cisI.eul


NEW YORK. March 25.-Sena-
tor Charles O. Andrews. of Flori-
day, is one Of the senator's who
are opposed to the government
reorganization bill and viii vote
for recommittal first and against
the bill eventually as he announ-
ced IN an Associated Press release
last Wednesday.
James TrusIow Adams, fore
most student Of American gov
eminent and author of epic of
America" has forwarded a tele-
gram to Senators Harry F. Byrd,
who has released IT to The Key
West Citizen. Mr.. Adams says ne
has watched the growth of one
man power in all the countries
and he thinks the process in the
United States is the same His
statement follows: ~
Il am profoundly concerned Ov-
er the Reorganization Bill situa-
ton which l believe practically
as dangerous for the nation as
that of the Supreme Court last
year. Reorganization for the sake
of economy and efficiency is call
ed for, but IN my opinion this bin
calls not for such reorganization
but for alterations of our form of
government. In the crisis of 1888
vast powers were granted to the
President which were supposed to
be temporary but they have been
retained and last year the execu-
tive attempted in addition to ex-
end control over the judiciary.
Now It demands that powers
properly belonging to the legis-
lature be transferred to the exc
cutive, not temporarily but per-
n1anently in all likelihood because
experience teaches that powers
once surrendered are. regained
with difficulty. if at all
Il have watched at close range
the growth of one man power in
country after country in Europe
and the process is the same. Pow
ers are granted in an emergency
and then more powers until the
legislatures have found that they
have in fact abdicated their con-
stitutionai functions or have been
forcibiy overturned If the peo-
pie and Congress care so little
for personal liberty and constitu-
tional safeguard that they hand
over all powers to an executive
when asked, then 1t can happen
here"
Il beg Congress not to yield up
more of its constitutional power
for il alone can save the consti-
tuition and the nation.
Citizens can make themselves
heard only by wiring to their
Senator's and Representatives and
it is my earnest hope that they

If an airplane can sink battle
ship, defense of Americas coast
lines would appear TO be a simple
matter. If it can't, a lot Of en-
ergy IS being wasted on that argu-
ment again.
While the navy's battle wagons
conduct their annual maneuvers
in the Pacific, a tidy plan for
stopping an invading fleet in its
tracks is being evolved by the
Army Air Corps.
Both Make Good Cases
Army bOmberS, as a new first
line of defense, would wing far
to sea to engage the fleet. At best,
the invaders warships would be
sunk or disabled. At worst, they
would be put at a disadvantage
The Air Corps makes a good
case for itself
But so do champions of the
warship, insistent that the navy
stIIl is the nations first line Of
defense.
Little has been added to avail
able knowledge IN the Battleship-
ys.-Aircraft argument by the
Ethiopian, Spanish or Sino-Japan-
csc wars. No modern bombing
plane has been tested against a
modern warShip.
Partisans of the airplane say
Italy won the first air war in his
tory without firing a shot-by
threatening to sink the British
fleet in the Mediterranean if the
Suez canal were closed during the
Ethiopian excursion. But the facts
are not public.
A Deep Secret
Still a deep secret among mill
tary men were the results of the
bombing" Of the battleShip Utah
by army planes last year, several
hundred miles off San Francisco's
Golden Gate. They were impress
sive. Dropped from an average Of
1900 feet, water bombs pep
pered the deck and the water
near the vessel.
The army argued that the direct
hits with real bombs would have
sunk or crippled the Utah: that
near-hits would have opened her
seams.
The answer to the planes ac-
curacy was a new. secret, bomb
sight.
It IS all theory, of course, and
the rebuttal of the navv adds up
to an equally logical conclusion
that for offense, the airplane is as
effective as a gnat on an ele-
plants hide.
Batfieship Protection
Modern battleShips, they point
out, are armor-plated above the
water line and that bulges or
'blisters" below il absorb the
shock of explosions.
Even the value of torpedoes
against modern men-of-war Is
questioned. AT Jutland the war
ship Marlborough was tOrpedOed.
but not disabled.
The Spanish InSurgent battle
ship Espana was sunk by chance
