Today's hearing took on a high technical turn when A. T. Kcehler, district secretary of the American Association of Engineers, presented a classification digest and recom- merdations bn behalf of the associ- ation, Mr. Koehler's report analyzed the various classification bills pending in Congress, probably more exhaus- tively than has any brief that h. been submitted to the committee. Hi conclusions broadly were that it impossible to enact legislation which will specifically set forth each posi- tion. He said classification legisla- tion should be based on Thomas Jef. ferson's idea of the Constitution, stip- ulating not what is to be done, but rather Wwhat is not to be done. Hel thought there should be a leeway for | departmental heads to exercise di cretion in allocating employes so that { differentials in qualifications for ser- vice might be handled on a merit basis.

Roberts were actually but not formally members of the board. Both Maj. Borden and Capt. Roberts are expecied to return to Washington this afternoon and make an official ne- port to Col. Ruggles and Maj. Gen. Williams, chief of the ordnance d partment. From the preliminary information already receirsd in Washington by Col. Ruggles by telephone, he said it ‘was apparent that the bomb rack was not functioning properly, as the re- ports indicated that the bomb had slipped out once before preparations were made for the actual flight. Pin Had Beea Pulled Out. Col. Ruggles explained that on the end of the bomb is a small propeller- like screw protecting the firing pin of the bomb. As long as this remains in place everything is all right, but as soon as this screw removed the bomb is “armed” and ready for ex- plosion. There is a wire pin attach- ed to the release wire from the bomber's seat, which is pulled out when discharging the bomb from the plane. This release wire pulls out the pin which keeps the little propeller on the. bomb from being forced to i turn around by the rush of the plane i through the air. It is apparent, Col. Ruggles sal judging from the preliminary state- ments he had, that this pin had been pulled out. the propeller was re volving, the rush of air ui the ‘protecting cap and thus “srme: the bomb, and when struck by the rune it went off, with the resultant oss of life and injuries. Safety Device te Be Developed. As soon as the two officers who re sent from Washington return, Col. Rugsgles sald, a study will be made of the problem with a view to developing some safety device which will keep the protecting screw in place until actually fired from the plane. However, he said that this ‘would be a very difficult problem. At the presemt time, he said, he could not say just how this could be done, but that aftyr study the ordnance department may be able to overcome e - The bomb racks which were used on the plane are designs of the ordnance department, it was said.
