EI aViadOr Marti
SOStiene Su retO

DeSeo hacer constar pOr medic de
estas lineas, las Iltimas que publ
care en- la prensa, que sostendre el re-
to que hice al aeronauta portorrique-
no Sr. Rigau en- una de las recien
tes ediciones de Ell Mundo.
Con motive de ciertas manifesto
clones que hice en- provecho del publ
co capitalino. me ha salido al encuen-
tro un senor de apellido Albizu, que
Sc dice aviador, y al cual no CO.
nozco nj como persona nj como avia
dor, aunque me felicito de tener otro
colega.
Mi nuevo contrincante confiesa que
en- los vuelos del domingo no Sc hizo
el "looping-the-loo 10 cual ceebro,
pues este demostrara plenamente al
publico que mis- aseveraciones con
respecto a este asunto eran absolute
mente ciertas. Nunca he pretendido
enganar al pdblico, por ESQ me de-
cidi afirmar que el arriesgado ejer-
cicio no habia sido ejecutado por el
aviador Carter que actuaba como pi-
Lotto en- xlos vuelos que hemos he
cho referencia.
Ell Sr. Albizu, presunto aviador, me
lama un reto original, pues aunque
haya sido su intencion la de desafar-
me para que realize alguna proeza
como aviador, es ell case que no espe-
cifica en- su suelto de Ell Mu1aoo en- que
consiste su reto. Invite al Sr. Abb
.Zu para que Sc entreviste conmigo
hablen1os uuos cuantos minutes SO
bre ell asunto. Estoy dispuesto acep
tar cualquier reto, sin que me ARE
dren obstaculos, pues nunca me hala-
go ell triunfo sin lucha.
FL aviador Rigau no ha contestado
a mi reto de haccr en- mi compania un
vuelo, elevandonos a una altura ma
xima de 11,OOO pies. Scpa el Sr. Ri
gau que, al no aceptar mi reto, su
competencia como aviador queda en-
tela de juicio, pues he tenido oportu-
nidad de escuchar infinidad de comen
tarios.
Las palabras son palabras los he
chos son hechos. Deseo que terminen
los dimes diretes en- la prensa, pues
este a nada conduce. Al pdblico no Sc
lie convence con palabras, pues estas
NADIA pesan, Y ell viento las arrastra
en- su veloz carrera. Nj quito nj pom
go rey, pero quiero que reluzca la
verdad para que ell publico sepa
que atenerse.
Espero los aviadores Rigau Al
bizu en- mis- ofcinas del Department
to del Interior, ALI podremos ven
tiIar este asuntc de un modo mas
terminante. ssatea

School officials do not like the idea
