BODWELL %, ATTACKS 50 TIMES MORE | DIESIN N BELVIDERE IMRORTANT THAN IN LAST Clnef of Cllemlul War- fare Service Pictures Raids With 25 to 100 Tons of Bombs Being Dropped. s Thinks- Explosive Missives Can Be Dropped on War- ships With Precision— Testifies at ' Aircraft Probe, Washington, Feb. 16.—Brigadier General Fries, chiet of the chemical warfare service, told the house air- craft committee today that gas at- tacks In the next war would be “fitty times more important” than in the last, picturing raids where from 25 to 100 tons of gas bombs would be dropped to the confusion of the attacked area. From 10 to 20 tone of gas bombs to the square mile, dropped from the air, he sald, would destroy every- thing within that area. Asked as to the effect of aerial gas bombing on a battleship, General Fries sald he believed explosive bombs would cause enough dam- age without using gas, which, how- ever, would prove a valuable ad- Junct. Phosphorus or poison gas bombs, he asserted, would drive the erew from the ship, and, if the ship’s ventilating system were damaged by shellfire, would cause injury inside the vessel. - Smoke Screen Gas, The general told the committee that the chemical warfare service had developed a smoke screen gas, which could be laid down by swiftly moving planes, and thus enable bombing planes to approach- very closely the surface-area. Such gas would be very effective, he de- clared, .in shielding a: attacking squadron from searchlights at night. Differs With Secretary, Major Thomas D. Milling, chlef of the army air service office train- ing school, the first witnecs, said Sccretary Wilbur had “minimized too much” the value of aircraft in the world war. He also differed from the secre- tary's views on the range of “air- eraft, pointing to the expansion of the range in the last 10 years. Asked his opinion on a sti#ftement by Mr. Wilbur that air raids in the| world war were “sporadic” and did little more than intimidate citizens, Major Milling replied that only 25- pound bombs were dropped at that time, while bombs ranging from 100 to 4,000 pounds would be used in a future war. He also declared aircraft had reached a stage where it was of prime importance to both army and navy and not merely “a useful ad- junet.” The witness endorsed a unified air service, which is opposed the war and lmvy de pm-(m»n'q BILL T0 RAISE PAY OF CONGRESS MEMBERS [Measure Also Would In- crease That of Certain Other Officials Washington, TFeb. ncrease the salapies of members of ongress from $7.500 to $10,000 a rear was reported today by the enate finanee committee.

Calls It Accidental The girl's story is that the shoot- ing was accidental. It occurred, she sald, while she was trying to hide the pistol, fearing that her father might use it in carrying out a threat to take the life of Michael Connor, whose attentions she preferred to those of Templeton. Connor, it is alleged by authorities is 40 years old and has divorced® and remarried. Sobbing and near to collapse, Miss Perkins was led into court, dccom- panied by her mother, a brother who is an usher in the Greenwich Pres- byterian church, and Reyv. Dr, Tru- man A. Kilborne, pastor of the church. Clergyman Speaks The minister spoke in her behalf. He said that immediately after the shooting he had questioned those at the Perkins home and learned the circumstances. During the party, sald Rev, Dr. Kilborne, Dorothy’s father upbraided her for going to prize fights with Connor, and threatened to shoot the man if she persisted in seeing him. The threat recalled to the girl that she had a pistol, obtaingd while she visited in Connecticut recently. She feared, she told the minigter, that his threat, so ran into the street to hide the gun, Explodes During Tussle Guests at {he' party persuaded | | Dorothy te refuen.

According to Probation Officer Mecllroy, Connor was divorced last May, and married in Norwalk, Conn., a month later. Last October he was in court for beating his wife, and was paroled for a year, father of two children.
