Bomber vs.. Warship
Argument Is Futile,
Says Naval Officer
Both Have Their Places
In National Defense,
Writes Comdr. VosseIIer

Long has the verbal battle ragged
as to the vulnerability of battleships
to aircraft bombing attack No one
has yet proved his side of the ques-
ton: indeed, the war to date has
given the public so few details of
attacks of this nature that the ques-
ton may still be considered I'M
settled.
In the opinion of 1t. Comdr. A. B.
writing in the Scientific American,
there can be mo more dangerous
argument bearing on national de-
tense problems than this very Ques-
ton of bombers versus battleships."
He reminds us that this controversy
is strongly reminiscent of similar
controversies that have taken place
in the past, as, for example, when
proponents of destroyers and sub
marines fought the same sort of bat
tie with hackers of the battleships.
Further, he states unequivocally
that there has never been, in the
Navy itself, any argument as to the
relative value of both the bomber
and the battleship.
Both Have Their Places.
THE flyers of our Navy" says
Comdr ,Vosseller, ARE not only
naval aviators; they are sea-going
naval officers who understand the
Relationship between the va
rious parts of the Navy and, there
fore, would no more sacrifice battle
ships than they would the Nays
aviation. We have now, and have
long had, more planes of this type
Qong-range patrol bombers) than
any other air force, and newer and
finer ones"
The United States Navy has made
outstanding contributions in the
field of naval aviation, he says. The
dive bomber was pioneered, devel-
oped, and perfected by the United
States Navy. Catapults for launch
ing planes from naval vessels were
developed to their present efficiency
by the United States Navy. The
Nays pilots have been especially
trained and indoctrinated to work
with their parent vessels, and it is
merely a matter of routine in the
feet to use these aircraft for scout
ing, submarine searching and spot
ting of gunflre."
Question an Abstract Argument.
The record of progress made by
the United States Navy explains
why in the word of Comdr. Vos-
seller, Navy men consider the
bomber versus battleships' question
an abstract argument.
The problem facing the Navy to-
day is to build. upon the excellent
nucleus we now have. the expanded
naval aviation of tomorrow, main
tanning the coordination we now
possess so that when and If our Navy
goes into battle, all its components
will be there in adequate number
and all will be working together in
the most efficient way to achieve
the final result-total defeat of the
enemy"

Skarpanto Attack Reported.
Information from usually reliable

said some 500 Italian soldiers had

The attack surprised the Italians,

escaped, these informants said. The
barracks and wireless station were

Greeks Say British Aid
Will Flow Through Isles

CAIRO, Egypt. Oct. 81 PD.-
Britain's sea-borne aid to Greece
will be able to flow through maze
of well-fortifed points established
in the Aegean Islands and on the
Greek mainland, Greek leaders dis
closed last night.
They are so solidly ringed with
guns that they can be held in
definitely and there are so MANY Of
them that there still will be plenty
ports of entry to the British even
if some Withdrawals are necessary,
these informants said.
They asserted the islands will be
held to provide a solid triangle with
Alexandria, Cyprus and Haifa in
which the British can have complete
sea control, thus erecting a formid-
able barrier between the axis and
the shores of Egypt and Asia Minor
These leaders predicted slow Greek
withdrawal operations would hold
up the Italians for several weeks,
giving the British time to establish
themselves in Greece.

The Navy Department today will
conduct tests in the vicinity of
Virginia Beach, Va, on a new ex-
perimental type of amphibian tank
The department bought one of the
machines earlier in the year and
quietly has been conducting land
tests.
Named the Alligator" the ar
mored tank would be useful in land
ing marines and sailors from ships
during battle. It's prime feature, it
is understood, is that it is greatly
armored and has comparatively
good speed in the water as well
as on the land.
Naval officials said a number of
amphibian tank plans had been
submitted for approval, but that
this was the first to be bought for
thorough experimentation.
Originally designed for rescue
work in flooded areas, and for trans
portation through marshy and diff
ficult terrain, the Alligator is re-
ported to be capable of Is to rs
miles an hour on land and from
to 10 miles an hour through water.
1t is claimed to be unsuitable
and noncapsizable. Built of dura-
lumin. it is powered by va engine
of 95 horsepower. The overall
length is approximately 20 feet.
Though the Navy did not reveal
specifications, it is understood the
amphibian is about feet wide and
8 feet high in front. 1t tapers off
in the rear.
Front and side views give the
general appearance of an Army
light tank. From above, however,
it looks a great deal like an open
scow. The machine is operated
somewhat like a tractor, with the
controls located in a rear pilots
cabin.

said the Defense Commission turned
to the automobile industry when
indications developed that regular
aircraft plants could not be ex-
banded without delay and heavy
expense. Great Britain, it was
noted. made similar use of motor
car manufacturing facilities from
the start of her 'rearmament pro-
gram.
The proposed new bombers, to be
divided between two-motor and
four-motor types, would more than
double the number of bombers at
present on order for the Army Air
Corps.
Of more than 10000 planes of all
types under contract for the Air
Corps at least half are trainers and
not more than a fourth are bombers,
the remainder being pursuit and
other types.
Fourth Aircraft Program.
The new plan contemplates the
fourth warplane building program
in this country.
Others are:
The present American Army and
Navy program of about $4,000 planes,
all of which are under contract ex-
cept few for the Navy.
The present British program Of
about $4,000 planes.
The new British 10000 plane re-
quest disclosed by President Roose-
welt.
Aviation circles assumed the eX-
panded American program would be
dovetailed with the British building,
although no official information was
given on this point. Existing British
orders for aircraft and tanks have
been geared with American defense
requirements.

Navy to Give Fleet Landing
Tests to Amphibion Tank
Armored Machine Is Said TO Be Speedy
Both in Water and on Lund

The manufacturer claims in a
prospectus that the machine may
be operated on pavement without
damage to the treads or the road
surface. For long distance trips
it may be conveyed on trailer.
Endless Chain Propulsion.
Whether this type of machine
will be extensively used by the Navy
depends on results of the testings.
Land and water propulsion is gained
through endless chains on each side
of the hull No change-over is
needed in moving from one element
to another. Propelling mechanisms
are not injured by collision with
submerged objects ip the water, it
was claimed.
The passenger or cargo COM
partment will handle 1000 pounds
and is water-tight with respect to
the remainder of the hull. The
motor and gears are in a separate
compartment. 1t carries two fuel
tanks of 40-gallon capacity each.
The Alligator is propelled by
special 4-inch T-shaped curved
duralumin cleats bolted to roller
chains running in a steel channel.
Empty. the machine draws less
than feet of water Its windows
are of one-half-inch glass.
The Navy is reported to be ready
to give it full tests Stimulating fleet
landing operations under the most
trying conditions. Oficials said
the tests would be conducted in
private and refused to reveal the
exact location of the proving
grounds.
