CTS and fleet mineSweepers, would be seagoing vessels capable of op- erating with the fleet or as escort vessels anywhere.
 Chief anti-aircraft defenses, he revealed, will be armor shields for ''topside" gun and signal crews, and a much heavier complement of rapid firing pom-pom guns of II inch size.
 The only additions to side armor, he said, will be near the water line to protect the vessels against near misses" Topside shields he said, are necessary to protect the crews against bomb splinters.
 The navy has noc been able to solve the problem of aerial attack protection for destroyers, Admiral Robinson testified. The additional armament is too heavy for them, he explained, adding that the aircraft carrier Wasp has not been given its fleet assignment because it lacks anti-aircraft protection.

He said that the three old battleships of the Atlantic patrol force-the New York, Texas and ArkanSas-are considered of such limited use that they will not even be given anti-aircraft protection.

of committees were delayed today as the opening session of the Senate and House was held up by confer ences between leaders of both part ies.
 Caucuses of Republicans and Democrats in both houses were planned for this afternoon to al- low action on approving the com- mittees slate agreed upon at the conference.
 Senator Blansfield, up to this morning, had been believed certain to become judicial committeeman, but last minute changes in the com- mittee seSupS resulted in his other appointments, instead. The finance committee, of which he will be in charge, is one of several of the Legislatures most important com- nitteeS and passes on matters of state funds and on requests by cities and towns for permission to issue bonds.
 Senator Egan had been reported set for position on the Cities and BoroughS Committee which will consider proposed changes in the Waterbury City Charter, but this expectation also went unrealized.
 Both Senate Committees will con- sist of four Democrats and one Re- publican while the House Commit tee for the most part will be made up of 13 Republicans and three Democrats.
 Senate leaders minimized the po- litical importance of committee ap- pointments involving the two Wa terbury senators. Both Senators BlanSf1eld and Egan expressed themselves, however, aS highly pleased with the assignments re- ported for them.
 The Senate recessed early this afternoon to allow time for party caucuses to approve the appoint mentS. A recess for the House was also planned. The upper house today concurred with the House of Representatives in setting January 31 as the last day for introduction of bills.
 Representative Rice of Cheshire was named on the Committee on Contingent and Legislative Ex- penSes, Fish and Game Committee, and Railroad Committee. Other Re- publican appointments follows:

The necessary additional armament would be too heavy for destroyers, he said. Rapid fire II inch guns can disperse dive bombers, he said, and added that U. s. anti-aircraft protection measures included topside shields to protect crews from bomb splinters.
 Furlong testified that only battle ships are strong enough to with stand direct bomb hits. Dive bomb CTS, he testified, unquestionably could sink U, s. cruisers and lighter vessels.
