RETAINS MOFFETT AS AVIATION HEAD Secretary Wilbur Recom- mends Admiral for Re- appointment. Wetention of Rear Admiral William A. Moffett as chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics for another term of four vears was virtually assured late ves- terday with the recommendatio by Secretary Wilbur to President Cool- idge of & reappointment for the head of naval aviation. The usual policy of the department in assigning offi- cers as chiefs of bureaus only for a single term had been set aside, Sec- retary Wilbur explained, because it was felt the best interests of the new bureau required that the admiral con- tinue the work of organization and development which he began. President Regarded as Fuvorable. There is every indication that Presi- dent Coolidge will pass along the reappointment to the Senate, where no objection against the admiral is forecast. Admiral Moffett is the first chief of the bureau, which was cre- ated four vears ago. His term ex- pires in July While the afrcraft controversy was at its height, the House investigating committee heard reports that Admiral Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, a t chief of the Army Air Service, would be “disciplined” for their advocacy of aviation against the wishes of the general board of the general staff. While these reports never worried Admiral Moffett, his friends showed much concern over the question of his reappointment, which, if it failed of recommenda- tion, might be construed as & ‘rep- rimand,” while at the same time it was argued after a bureau chief serves four years here he must go 1o sea Admiral Tireless in Service. When Admiral Moffett took over the leadership of the bureau little or nothing was known about naval avi- ation and through his tireless efforts he brought the Navy's aviation to the attention of the world in performance of all classes. Relief of Admiral Moffett at this time would not be beneficlal to naval aviation, his sup- porters Admir testimony Sims in his before the House alrcraft committ, paid a glowing tribute to the accomplishments of Admiral Moffett and to his ability as an ad- ministrator, declaring he had been offered immense salaries by private enterprise, in which, however, he had declined to become interested B;rths' fieporle;i. nd Mars V and Irene ( Gabrielle and Elvira F na M.

MARTINSBURG, W. Va., March 11.—Sixteen thousand vigorous ladybugs have been ordered by James G. Maples from the Colora- do producing section to supple- ment his spray campaign against aphis on his apple trees at a county orchard. The ladybugs are classified as natural and insatiable enemies of the aphis, catching the little insect by the neck. The ladybugs come at $3 per thousand, and with their sustained method of operation it is figured they are as effective as spray, al- though not so rapid in their work. It is intended to have them clear up the aphis from 100 acres of apple land. MENGELBERG LEADS ORCHESTRA FINELY Philharmonic of New York Gives Notable Interpretations Under Dutch Conductor. The New York Philharmonic Or- chestra presented a program of great music in inspiring fashion at the Na- tional Theater yesterday. It is the oldest orchestra in America and sec- ond oldest in the world. Under the leadership of the dynamic Dutch con- ductor, Willem Mengelberg, Bee- thoven and Strauss, two master com- posers, were given marvelous inter- pretation. Later, in discussing the concert, Mr. Mengelberg sald mod- estly, “Yes, but look what a fine or- chestra 1 have. Experienced musi- cians, more than a hundred of them. The Philharmonic is the finest orches- tra I have ever enjoyed conducting. Of course, I have my own orchestra in Amsteedam, but this orchestra is wonderful The only matter for regret was that the theater was only comfortably filled. The program, as presented, merited a packed house. Last year Mr. Mengelberg brought his orchestra here in one concert, the first by the Philharmonie in Washington for sev- eral years. Ernest Schelling, Amer-| fecan pianist and composer, was guest artist at the time Reversing the order on the printed program, the Beethoven “Eroica” ymphony (No. 3 in E flat major, opus ) was played first. Never before here were the multiple beauties of Beethoven's score more finely shaded and emphasized. The remarkable minor chords and tempestuous music| rose to a powerful climax against an| exquisite melodious passage in the E minor key. Then came the gigantic tone-poem of Richard Strauss, “The Hero Life, told in six episodes, as sketched by Lawrence Gilman -in his program notes. Perhaps the outstanding fea- ture of the work yesterday was the love episode, with beautifully played| violin solo by C. Guidl. Again, this motif is woven into the stress of the battlefield episode. The last two movements have impish glimpses reminiscent of Strauss' “Till Eulen- spiegel,” especially, and several others of his works with his famous song, “Traum Durch Die Daemmerung,” a dominant theme in the finale. Dur- ing the work it was possible to see readily the necessity of every one of the 115 instruments used to tell this musical epic poem. Both leader and orchestra recetved an ovation when they had plaved the last note, at a quarter to 7 o'clock.
