booing an officer of their union. He
deferred further comment, but in
replying later he denied having
called Mr.. Lewis a Jap.
Mr.. Murray explained that Mr..
Lewis approach to the problem of
unity with the A. F. L. in January
angered him. He said he heard it
from newspaperman before he re-
ceived Mr.. Lewis letter. He had
remarked that he was in no mood to
be blitzed, or to be the victim of
another Pearl Harbor incident. But,
Mr.. Murray was reported to have
added, Mr.. Lewis Americanism and
patriotism were not questioned.
Mr.. Murray was understood to
have disclosed that certain unions
in the C. I. o. were not inclined
favorably toward merger with the
A. F. L. lest they be chopped up and
lose their identity in the process.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 17.-Scoff-

chairman of the Navy's General

minded in the world for several
years back.
AS a result, Admiral Arthur j.
Hepburn said In an interview here,
"Our naval air force is the best in
the world"
I'VE have always gotten as much
aircraft as we could" said Admiral
Hepburn, former commander of the
United States Fleet.
Nobody has ever given a bigger
proportion of his total appropria-
tions to airplanes than we have. The
thing to remember is that we had
year ago, we had only about 100000
to man everything. We have been,
and are, expanding in all classes of
ships-battleships, cruisers, destroy
ers, aircraft, submarines and every
thing
Admiral Hepburn pointed out the
dive bomber and torpedo plane were
inventions of the United States
Navy, and declared that, while the
Army was talking about big bombers
capable of flying overseas, we were
flying them. six years ago, while I
was admiral Of the United States
Fleet"
But the veteran seaf1ghter was
Just as emphatic in denying the
opposite extreme, the claim that
aircraft have made battleships OBJ
solete.
"As long as we have surface
navies,' he said, "the causes that
brought about the battleship will
bring it back again. 1t may be a
different type, but it will still be
battleship."
