AIR POLICY OF
NAVY DEFENDED
Moffett, Bureau Chief,
Says Money Spent on
Planes Wisely
(Bv the Associated Press.D

DF.S MONIES, Iowa. Oct. 26.--De-
Tending the program of American naval
aviation against its critics, Rear Ad-
miral Moffett, chief Of the navy bu-
reau aeronautics. in an address here
today before business men, denied that
the navy has spent millions on avia-
tion and had little to show for it.
"The navy" he declared, "has not
yet bought plane or engine which
was not at the time it was purchased
as good as any plane or engine in ex-
istence to perform the work which it
would be called upon to do. We feel
that naval aviation today is deficient
in numbers, due to the necessity for
economy throughout the federal gov
ernment, but we also feel that it is not
surpassed in types of aircraft by any
nation in the world.
Today we have suitable types Of
planes for use from every type Of ship
and for their specific purposes they
have no superiors. We have developed
the catapult to a point where thirty Of
them are in use day after day and we
have not yet had serious casualty
from their USE
Admiral Moffett, who is here for a
series of navy day addresses, pointed
out that aviation was not a cheap form
of national defense. The overhead for
maintenance and operation Of aviation,
he explained, was very considerable
while a plane with proper power units
and sufficient spare parts costs from
$4,000 to $150.000 and its life on the
average is but three years.
The navy IN the five years from 1920
to 1925, Admiral Moffett stated, spent
$187, 100000 on aviation, of which $780,
100000 was for the purchase of air
craft Eighty-four percent Of the to-
tai, or $157,000,O00 went for such items
as pay, food, Transportation, surplus
war materials, maintenance and repair,
scientific equipment. improvements at
air stations, and similar charges.
During the five year period, he said,
the navy purchased COS planes and
1,034 engines, built the Shenandoah
and one small non-rigid airship, ac-
quir-ed Los Angeles and provided for
the trainin Of the crews Of the Inter
than-air ships, as well as purchased a
great amount of miscellaneous materi-
ais.

withdraw until Grecian soil was free

The market for Valley grapefruit
willebe damaged by sale of green fruit
because it is unfit to eat, the secreta-
ries declared. They brought the mat
ter up at the secretaries5 meeting and
discussed it to some extent.
Grapefruit is sold as coming from
the Valley, and is found to be unfit TO
east" Mr.. Richardson said, land the
purchaser loses his desire for grape
fruit, which hurts the market for all
grapefruit. Also the buyers will stop
getting fruit from the Valley if this
section lis not more careful in shipping
only well ripened fruit
The Brownsville Chamber Of Com
merce secretary explained that ire
sponsible buyers from San Antonio,
Houston and other points come to the
Valley in trucks, go to the orchard Of
some grower who is willing to sell fruit
in any condition, and buy load Of
green fruit This fruit is taken to San
Antonio or Houston, sold to the rest
aurant men or other persons at an un-
usually high price and the Valley suf-
fers for the damage to its market that
is done.
Entertained Saturday
Reports from Houston and San An
tonic Saturday were that the first few
boxes of grapefruit from the Valley
have arrived there and are on the
market Of those cities.

edge of the work of chambers of COM
merce throughout the country, and
mentioned the business progress that
is brought about by such bodies.
Another meeting was held in the aft

tising were discussed by Fred Hern-
don. publicity director of the San An

planned details Of the proposed adver-
tising budget of 100000 for San An

Fighting Continues
On Macedonian Front

PARIS, Oct. 26.-At last accounts
hostilities were still in progress along
the Macedonian frontier between the
Greeks and BuIgarians.
The Greeks were reported to be throw
ing shells into various parts of the
troubled district, while the BuIgarians
from points Of vantage were declared TO
be carrying out sniping operations
tinued the excited rush Of the frenzied
populace in the war torn areas to make
their escape from the shells and the
whistling bullets.
While the council Of the league OF
nations was gathering to investigate
the situation and try to bring about
harmony, report had IL that the Bull
garians were rushing up reinforce
ments with which to counteract the
Greek invasion Of Bulgarian territory.
Greece, it Is said, still adheres TO
her threat to hold the positions her
troops have taken from the Bulgars I'M
til full satisfaction has been accorded
in the way Of reparations and apology
from Bulgaria. Tn fact that Rumania,
Czecho- SIovakia and Juzo SIavia ap-
parentIy will remain neutral in the con
fIict has created a feeling Of satisfa<~
ton here. Czecho SIovakia ard Ru-
mania already have announced their
neutrality and the Belgrade govern
ment has ordered that an invasion OF
Jugo Slavia by the belIigerents be pre-
vented.
One new feature Of the situation
which is causing some misgivings -
