Mitchell Charges Sinking of Vessel Was Huge Farco Raval Indictment Continue as Officer Testifies All Bombs Were Sand Bags (United Press) Washington, Feb. 29. "The sinking" of the battleship Washington in the recent test was a farce, Brig. William Mitchell told the house aircraft investigating committee today in resuming his sensational indictment of the navy department. Mitchell charged that the airplanes had dropped only sand bags instead of coal months in the scrapping of the ship. "I think it's time for the true story of the sinking of the Washington to be told," the young air general said. "There were no bombs whatever used on her. There were some charges against the captain. They abounded nothing." "The airplanes dropped sand bags in her desk. These moved that the time they landed on the bomb balls were dropped. The 1000 pound charges were off so far away from the ground." "They were exploded on three different days, and altogether there were only three 1000 pound bombs exploded. That was all the explosion. The next two bombs went into Washington, except 200 pound charges off in contact with the ball. Mitchell settled at the announcement that two naval officers had stood on the decks of the Washington while the air fleet dropped explosives. "In the first place, there wasn't anyone on the ship and in the second there's someone on the ship," said. "If they had been on the ship, they wouldn't have gotten anything." The committee put into the record the copy of a morning newspaper describing how two naval officers, knowing that the airplanes could do no damage, stood on the deck of the ship to retrieve an abandoned plane that an airplane could score about 79 per cent of hits under ordinary conditions.
