BATTLESHIP IS NOT OBSOLETE, EXPERTS FIND . ____________________ **„ - - jCTV Airplane Merely Adds to ‘Complexity of Naval War--s£-v fare,’ Report Says. ►- - . RESULT OF BOMB TESTS EpecJaJ to Indiana Daily Times *ad Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20—The duel of the airplane and battleship staged In the Atlantic Ocean off the Virginia Capes In June and July to determine the relative merits of the two arms In the newer type of naval warfare, has failed to convince experts of the Joint Army end Navy Board that the battleship is obaolte. As freely reported the report of the 'board made pub.lc Friday by tbe War and Navy Department, finds the battleship still the bulwark of the nation's defense, and the airplane, "Instead of furnishing an economical Instrument of war leading to the abolition of the battleship has merely added to the complexity of naval warfare." BACKS ARGUMENTS FOR GREATER NAVY. The conclusion of tbe board based upon exhausted reports of the various "actions" amount to arguments In favor of an immediate increase in Anar and Navy forces and a strengthening of ship and land defenses with antt-aircrart armaments. In the opinion of the board member*. General Pershing, General harboard and Gener.il Ham for the Army and Admiral Koontz, Admiral Williams and Admiral Cole for the Navy, the bombing tests, which began early In June with tbe dropping of dummy sauu bombs on tbe radio controlled battleship lowa, and ended with the dramatic sinking of the German dreadnaught Ostfrleslr.mi under the concussion of one ton 1. N. T. mombs accurately placed on and nround her by Army flier*, settled no question of armament except to show that nations must fully equip themselves with ail arms, overflooking and reducing none. SUMMARY OF BOARD'S VIEWS. The effect of aircraft on future naval construction as viewed by the board was summarized as follows: The mission of the Navy is to control vital Hues of transportation upon the sea. If no opposition Is met from enemy naval vessels this mission can be accomplished without euter.ng an enemy’s coast zone within which aircraft based on shore or in sheltered harbors are effective. Without an effective Navy in time of war a nation must submit to an economic blockade fa.al to Its trade and the importation of necessary materials for the production of war supplies. If heavier-than ir craft are to be effective in naval warfare they must have greater mobility and since their radius of action Is not great additional mobility must be obtained by providing mobile bases, i. e., aircraft carriers. So far as known no planes large enough to carry a bomb effective against a major ship hare been flown from or landed on an airplane carrier at sea It is probable, however, that future development will make such operations practicable. Even In the present state of develop ment the aircraft carrier, as exemplified by the Argus of the British navy, is a type essential to the highest efficiency of the fleet. Aircraft carriers are subject to attack by vessels carrying guns, torpedoes or bombs, and will require, as all other types of vessels require, the eventual support of the battleship. The battleship stiil Is the backbone of the fleet and the bulwark of Nation's sea, tVf ns,* and will so remain so long aa, ! • safe navigation of the sea for pur- j .< ~f trade ~r transportation Is vital ' to su ee.ifi in war.—Copyright, 1921, by , Vi b ic Ledger Cos. •

18 MORE JUDGES NEEDED TO CARE FOR U. S. CASES 141,000 Cases Pending June 30 Before Federal Courts— Liquor Cases Increased. ftp-rial to Indiana Daily Tim and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON. Aujr 20.—The creation of eighteen Federal judgeships at large With legislation providing for the assignment of the judges when and where needed, as recommended by the commission of Federal Judges and dtstrict • ttorneys recently appointed by Attorney General Daugherty to study the problem of congestion of cases brought about by prohibition enforcement, also includes a plan for an annual conference of the aenior judges of the respective Federal circuits, with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General to consider ways and means of expediting Federal Judicial business The ccmmission which was composed of Judge John E. Sater, of Ohio: Judge W. I. Grubb, of Alabama: Judge John C. I'ol'ock. of KaAsas : William II Hayward, district attorney at New York; Charles E. Clyne. district attorney .at Chicago, reached its conclusions after a series of conferences with the Attorney General and consideration of a uumber of suggestions presented by Chief Justice Taft and members of Congress. The finding. H is understood, will be put into a bill framed at the Department of Justice, which will be introduced when Congress, resumes sessions after the proposed summer recess.

"On June 30.” said Attorney General Daugherty, “there were tyl.ooo cases pending and undisposed of in the Fnlted States. This congestion condition of the dockets is intolerable and results in loss of eridem'e. the abandonment of cases, the denial and frequent defeat of Justice and lowers the high standards of the Fede-al courts. "Justice cgjr not be measured in dollars and cents, but, in my opinion, this plan which provides only IS per cent increase in Federal judges is practical and In fines and in the prompt dispatch of business wil more than balanc ethe increased ost of the Judges. I have therefore. recommended it to the President and the Judiciary Committees of Congress. "Reports have reached the departments and members of the commission that in some districts there were as many as 5.000 to 20.000 eases undisposed of an Ant. 1 and there has been an Increase of 800 per cent In the criminal business since 1912. "While this condition Is created largely by *he legislation relative to prohibition. and nlthough the number of liquor casdoubtless will decrease as the States pass enforcement laws and public opinion changes in the districts where enforcement now is difficult, nevertheless, such decrease will not occur in the near future and even then the increase in civil business due to the growth of population. the ending of the war period and the continued development of the country, wilt. In my judgment, prevent any appreciable relief in the Federal courts."— Copyright, 11*21, by Fubllc Ledger Company.
