Arms POLICY
Note Read

U.NSJ. The early awaited
State Department expression Of
this country's neutrality policy in
the Spanish civil war was taken
before the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons committee today by Senator
Key Pittman of Nevada, its chair
man.
Inspired by the Nye resolution
calling for relaxation Of the law
forbidding sale of arms and sup
plies to either side in the Spanish
war, the policy statement went to
Pittman this morning.
Although the State Department
communication was addressed to
Pittman, who requested it for the
information of his committee be-
fore it acted on the resolution
sponsored by Senator Nye (RO of
North Dakota, the Nevadan car
ried it before the committee un-
opened. He then broke the de-
partment seal and the missive
was read.
Pittman said the text of the
statement would be released after
the committee studied it, if it was
deemed advisable.
It was popularity assumed that
Secretary of State Hull would re-
affirm this Governments dictum
that it would be unwise to tamper
with the existing neutrality law
as it affects Spain.

In an eighthour flight, battling
fog, rain and hailstormS, squad
ron of giant four-engined bomberS
demonstrated it could do havoc to
an invading fleet long before the
naval force could come within
striking distance Of American
shores.
"HOSTILE FLEET"
In one of these sleek, silver mon
Sters, flying blind much of the
time, 1 witnessed a simulated
bombing attack on q theoretical
hostile fleet.
For purposes of practical navi-
cation, the KHQ air force chief,
Gen. Frank M. Andrews, chose the
italian line liner Rex, approaching
New York on it, transatlantic voy-
age from Italy, for the giant bomb
ers to locate.
We roared down over the Rex
within three minutes of the exact
moment the navigation officer in
charge Of the flight predicted he
would locate her.
RESERVE GASOLINE
The flight was greater than the
distance between London and
Berlin, or between Paris and
Rome, and about the equivalent
Of q flight to and from London
and Rome.
The 2,100 gallon reserve supply
Of gas was such that if it had
been impossible to land in the
New York area on the return
flight because of zero weather,
we could have flown on in perfect
safety to Dayton, Ohio, or Chi
cago, or Atlanta, Ga.
The perfection of these giant
bombers has opened a new chap
ter in modern aerial warfare, I
learned. They will do better than
$50 miles an hour, and will out
strip even the swiftest pursuit
ships Of most first rate powers.
1000 MILES AT SEA
Flying 1000 miles to sea, each
Of these bombers could drop over
1000 pounds of bombs on a hostile
fleet. Army experts believe a fleet
Of the planes could destroy or
at least vitality cripple a hostile
fleet long before it even began to
approach within striking distance
Of American shores. They could
do particular havoc to unarmored
transports.
What would keep the pursuit
planes of the hostile aircraft
carriers from destroying you
before you could drop your
bombS?' I asked.
"The first thing the fleet
would know of our approach
would be when the bombs began
to fall on them" one of the
Army's best known filters told me
as we roared 10000 feet above
the Atlantic, entirely hidden
from view by clouds.

GILBERT HERE
ON SATURDAY
Last Home Game of Season Up,
With Ely Out to Avenge

There will be plenty of fireworks
here Saturday afternoon when the Ely

high class excitement for two reasons,

knocked Ely out of the range football
championship last year with stunning

game of the season.
Coach Ed. T. Buckley and his pro-

great pleasure to take the Gilbert squad
into camp by a sizeable margin, and
they'll receive plenty of backing from
the football fans of the community in

range honors, with five wins, one de-
feat and one tie each.

Ely Beats IntI Falls

in the third quarter, Ely took Falls

ran it to the 29-yard marker. Banks

putting Coach Buckley's aggregation

Banks failed to gain on the next play,

lowed was blocked by Klun, with Ely
recovering on the Falls 4O-yard marker
Prola ran the pig skin to the 10-yard
stripe for 30-yard gain, but one of
his teammates was off side, so the play
was called back. Three plays later the
ball still rested on the 45-yard line
