¥ the bureau be given additional support AIRGRAFT BUILDING URGED BY MOFFETT Navy Aeronautics Bureau Head Cites Defense and Employment Relief. Building up of the naval aircraft squadrons to the full strength permitted by the London treaty, not only as a matter of national defense but also as & means of providing unemployment re- lief, is recommended by Rear Admiral ‘William A. MofTett, chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, in his annual repert made public today. 1 Admiral Msflttl reported this con- struction program would involve the building of 55.200 tons of aircraft car- riers and a number of cruisers carrying landing decks. “I wish to invite attention,” he said, | “to the very favorable reaction an ex- tensive naval building program will have | lon business conditions in the United States. Warships and aircraft are so intricate in design that practically all arts and industries participate in ther construction.” Asks Additional Planes. Admiral Moffett requested legislation to increase the present limit of 1,000 planes under the five-year aireraft pro- | gram to 1,125 so that additional planes | may be allotted the naval bases at Pearl Harbor, Hawali, and Coco Solo, Canal Zone. There are insufficient enlisted men available to maintain aircraft in effi- clent operating condition and, unless additional men can be obtained, it will be necessary to resort to civilian em- ployes, in which case approximately $1,000,000 more per year must be made | available for pay roll purposes, Admiral | ~ MofTett said. Pursuance of the policy of increasing the number of naval reserves in aviation was urged by Admiral Moffett, who re- | ported that an average of 67 reserve naval aviators were maintained in the | fleet during the past fiscal year. Estab- | lishment of two new reserve bases, at Miami, Fla., and St. Louls, has been authorized during the current fiscal | year. ¢ ‘Wooden Fuselage Passes. | ‘The past fiscal year witnessed the passing of the last wooden fuselage | airplane in the naval service and wooden | wing ribs and tail structures have been almost entirely replaced by metal con- ‘wing beams as well.

NE of the largest audiences of the year and one of the most _enthusiastic — with Mrs. Herbert Hoover doing more than her share in the matter of applause—greeted Fritz Krelbler yesterday afternoon in his perennial recital at Constitution Hall. It was a warm afternoon—not only in so far as the boiling point of the atmospheric pressure was con- cerned—but through the playing of Mr. Kreisler, who brought with him a smooth and silken tone, & penchant for the emotional, not overwrought with sweetness, and & manner of in- terpreting the more familiar “alassics” in & manner which defies anybo dy else’s doing it as well. Although the great violinist, from the moment he tucked the vio- 1in under his chin, commanded the unswerving admira- tion of his audience, it was not until he reached his own “Caprice Vien- nois” that the vast assemblage gave way to its emotion and rocked the hall with applause. To satisfy the obvious request before him Mr. Kreisler played it over again and thus delighted with what evidently his listencrs had been looking for- ward to most. At the end there were encores given, with the artist’s usual lib- erality, thus ending an afternoon of considerable merit. There might, however, have been somewhere a small but insistent whisper to the effect that “was perhaps Kreisler as well equipped this year in tone and technical facility as he had been before?” Wasn't there, perhaps, les fire to the bow, more treading away from the straight and narrow, and more notes that had been done less than justice?. In the Corelli “La Folia” there was much breadth of tone, but many, many passages that seemed blurred, and although no fauit could be found with the Men- delssohn “Concerto,” the Bach “Sarabande” —not the “Double Fritz Kreisler, Gastritis -4 Yéérs I Acidity Gone!

These errors, neither so large nor so fre- quent as not to be excused—came merely as a surprise—since Mr. Kreisler—although admittedly sur- passed by one or two violin me- chanical not usually indulge in the minutest vagaries. As a whole, though, the recital well satisfied the eager crowds that could not have been larger and still get under the same roof. Old and young were caught in the spell that his violin exerts—should it even play “East Side, West Side.” He Seemed, indeed, to give his all, and if that seemed a shade less than heretofore, he was still a supreme artist and a very generous one, be- ides. E. DE 8. M. O'Shea Recital Scheduled for Sunday. OUT of a clear sky comes the announcement of a concert to be given by Alfred O'Shea on Sun- day afternoon in the ball room of the Mayflower.
