B SYEAR AR ROGRAN OF NAY {Admiral Moffett Urges More i Money for Research in ¢ Annual Report. Though the shortage of aviation per- (somnel in the Navy continues to present |anacute probiem, the five-year aviation |construction program should be com- {Pleted as authorized, on time and with- ‘oug material changes, Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, recommended in his annual report, made public yester- litag(l velopments of the past year have \eomtinued to demonstrate the wisdom and soundness of the five-year program, hejstpted. A separate building program should be inaugurated to provide air- planes for the one new airplane carrier ang mew light cruisers authorized by Colgress, Admiral MofTett stated. Even more experimental and research work will be required in the future than in the past if naval aviation is to keep in the forefront of advancing aviation knowledge, Admiral Moffett said in | urging increased appropriations for this:| experimental work. | Development of Navy flying fields and their facilities has not kept pace with the rapid increase in flying activities. ‘War-time buildings still remain and should e replaced and augmented. The ear has increased congestion at North sland, San Diego, and Ford Island, Hawali, both of which now are occupled Jointly by the Navy and Army air forces and both islands should be given over entirely to the Navy, Admiral Moffett said. “The situation regarding _qualified aviation personnel continued to be acute,” the report shows. “During the past year some progress has been made toward relieving this personnel shortage by increasing the number of officers and enlisted men assigned to training | at Pensacola, but the shortage still re- mains and constitutes one of the most serious problems facing naval aviation. To train and maintain an adequate personnel will require our continuous effort, for years to come.” One of the most gratifying_features of the past year's operations has been | the increase in safety'and the number of hours flown by the individual pilots. | The fiying hours per fatal accident have increased from 7,326 for 1827-28 to 11,288 for the past year. | CITIZENS WILL WEIGH | ADVANTAGES OF VOTE| | Bloomingdale to Inquire Into| Matter of Electing D.
