MOFFETT HITS BACK

Washington, Sept. 13-(AP)-A
categorical reply to charges made by
Colonel William Mitchell. former as
sistant chief Of the army air service,
concerning administration of naval
aviation, was issued tonight by Rear
Admiral William A. Moffett, chief Of
the bureau of aeronautics.

these charges is that their author is
of unsound mind and is suffering
from decisions of grandeur" the
statement said. Althouh the admiral
did not mention Colonel Mitchell or
any other critic by name, his state
ment was clearly aimed chiefly at the
charges made by the former assistant
army air chief. and was emphatically
phrased, using such words as "un-
qualifiedly false" absolutely false"
ans 'unscrupulous self-seekers and
vultures."
Charges made Gin the guise Of
bringing about a reform in our sys-

GENERAL UPWARD
MOVE STOCK PRICES;
HIGH FREIGHT MARK

New York, Sept. 13.-(AP)-Re-
sumption of a broad upward move
ment in stock prices which carried
the industrial average to the high
est price on record, a relaxation of
call money rates; a brisk advance
in cotton futures and a sharp de-
cline in wheat for future delivery
were outstanding developments in
this weeks financial and securities
markets. Outside the markets, chief
interest conferred on the establish-
ment of a new high record for all
time by traffic in by freight traffic
in the week ended August %.
Pool activities provided the chief
stimulus for the advance in stock
prices, several of the motor, equip
ment, copper, food, mail order and
merchandising issues being boosted
to record high price. An abundance
of cheap money for loan on stock
collateral was widely regarded as a
primary factor in the rally, although
prosperous conditions of the agricul-
tural community.
Cotton advanced about a cent a
pound on a sharp downward revi-
sion of the government crop esti-
mate. Wheat prices sagged to the
lowest prices in months on publica-
ton of a favorable official report
which estimated the spring crop at
PSI. $4,000 bushels against 262, 49,
600 last month.
The further decline in sterling to

low which it would be profitable to
import the precious metal, reflected
the recent loss of gold by the Bank
