Assuming the German claim Is
true, students argued over the
weekend that the day Of the
great battleship Is ended.
So far. see no positive
proof that this contention IL
true.
What is true is that the war
IS bringing new methods Of attack
which will require new methods
OF defense.
The last war brought the
submarine menace but
method of defense was found.
This war has brought the air
attack and II seems entirely
possible that methods of de-
Tense also will be found.
German planes may or may not
have sunk a British battleship but
they have by no means sunk the
British navy.
We have known since the World
war that salvo of high explo-
sive shells can penetrate armor and
detonate within a ship. At Jut-
land, England lost three great
battle cruisers because shells PEN
etrated their armor and exploded
inside their magazines. But, that
an airplane bomb could penetrate
a heavily armored deck, reach and
explode in battleship's magazine,
has been believed something too
improbable to consider seriously.
How such a thing could
happen to n battleship from
even the largest bomb, ex-
ploding on an armored deck
nearly six inches thick and
from which, IL Is supposed, the
force would be mostly up
wards, is a mystery.
II the bomb had struck in the
water alongside the battleship and.
instead of exploding on impact,
had detonated under water at a
depth of, say dozen or more
feet in very close proximity of the
comparatively thin plating out
side a magazine, then the destruc-
ton of the ship might have &C.
Cured, but a bomb, as far as
known, explodes on striking the
water and has no delayed action
effect.
II the Germans do destroy a
battleship with an air bomb, the
causes will be:
Inadequate airplane defense,
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-05-09

inefficient anti-aireraft gun
fire. insufficient thickness of
armored d X. or ineffective
protection Of magazines from
heavy explosions under water.
The battleship, although the VIC
tim, would not relinquish its pri-
macy to the bombing plane, how
ever, for the victory probably
would be only q temporary one.
Nations weak In battleships,
like Italy, are hoping the Ger
man claim In true. We can
be certain that II q battleship
has succumbed TO an airplane
bomb. that Britaln's prestige
on the seas for time win suf-
fer: even our eight great bat
tieships building win tremble
on their launching ways.
However. when the smoke clears
and mems minds again regain their
power to think clearly. we shall
see that such a disaster does not
lessen the need of the big surface
ship to make the seas safe.

Apprentice Training
 Encouraged By State
Council Pledges Support to All Concerns Interested;
 Mar. l, l94l, to Witness Peak in Employment

Hartford, Conn, November 9. = G. R. Fugel, chairman of the State Apprenticeship Council today an- nounced that the council is ready and willing to cooperate with any concern in Connecticut desiring to establish a program of apprentice training.
 The need of such training pro- grams was seen following the an nouncement of State Labor Commis- sioner Cornelius J. Danaher who estimated that by March l, 1941, practically all employable> persons in the state will be at work.
 MT. Fugel said that the present acceleration of business due to the national defense program has em- phasized to a marked degree the necessity for a training program de- signed to develop servoir of skilled craftsmen in every trade to fill the needs of industry.
 Formal Statement
 MT. FugePs announcement in part follows:
 Although many concerns have maintained an efficient apprentice training program for some years, many other firms have for one req son or another discontinued the training of skilled workmen or have never attempted such program and the results of this decrease in the production offs killed workers are now becoming evident even though the production needs of the defense program have not yet reached . peak.
 "The Advisory Commission of the Council on National Defense .,as recognized the need for t., en- couragement of apprentice training programs and there has been estab- lished Division for Training with in Industry.
 ''The Training Within Industry Division is relying upon the State Apprenticeship Councils in the var ious states as well as the Federal Committee on Apprenticeship to give their utmost cooperation in the establishment of apprentice training programs. To this end the Connec- ticut State Apprentice Council wishes to offer its cooperation and advice to any concern desiring to establish a program of apprentice training or which is considering im- provements in a training program already in effect.
 Fitzgerald Bill
 "The Fitzgerald Bill established an advisory committee in Washington

known as the Federal Committee on Apprenticeship composed of equal representation of employer, employe and public groups and provided for a permanent staff of field representa- tives for this committee to be made available from the Division of La- Dor Standards, United States De- partment of Labor. Pursuant to the passage of this bill, the Commis- sioner of Labor of this State appoint on March g, 1888, a similarly com- posed advisory committee which is known as the Connecticut State Apprenticeship Council to work in conjunction with the Federal Con- mittee on Apprenticeship for the purpose of stimulating interest in bona fide apprenticeship throughout the State of Connecticut.
 ''The State Apprenticeship Coun- Gil offers a plan for the assistance and guidance of groups and individ- uals interested in establishing a practical and sound apprenticeship system. The Council acts merely in an advisory capacity and the func- tion of the Council is to promote and encourage the establishment oi planned programs of apprenticeship and to offe rany advise or personal assistance which might be desired in the establishment of such pro- grams. The State Council has alsC been designated the authority oi the Federal Committee on Appren' ticeship as regards the approval O exemptions from the requirement. of the Wage and Hour Law as thi! law concerns apprentices"

Shppng Losses Surersede Bombs as MaOr Menace Ba
RY MILTON RRONNER

BL mAAlON BHONNER
 NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 British authorities are more wor- ried about the Nazi attacks upon British shipping by bombers, sub- marines and mines than they are about airplane attacks on British cities.
 Not only are precious and vitally necessary cargoes of food and raw materials being sunk, but the vessels are not easily replaced.
 In the map approximate localities where British ships have been sunk and the number of losses are shown for the first time. The vital facts were obtained in Washington.
 In the beginning of the war, the conference for the press every Tues British government had a naval day. A famous general of the mar ines, who had a reat record in the last war;, would give details of the ships the enemy had sunk in the previous week. He gave the names, tonnage and nationality of the ships. But later this method was dropped as giving too much information.
 The losses shown on the map are those sustained since the pocket battleship Graf Spec was sunk by British cruisers off the coast of South America, Dec. 13, 1899.
 The numeral opposite each sym bol shows the number of ships sunk by mines or submarines or bombers.

Improvement in Employ ment Results in Decline
 for Dinner Accessories

The employment increase that has taken many families of relief rolls means that far fewer Thanksgiving dinners and baskets will be given out by local welfare agencies next week. The agencies report that requests are smaller in number than they have been in years.
 Adjutant Hugh Wiberg said that the Salvation Army will distribute about 150 baskets to needy families. The number of such families is great deal less this year, he said.
 Thanksgiving dinners are also pro- vided by the several private relief agencies, which function through the Central Index in securing the names of deserving families.
 The city welfare department places extra food in relief recipients bags for Thanksgiving.
