U.S.-JAP CONFLICT CALLED INEVITABLE (By Axsociated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 24—A Far Eastern collision between the United States and Japan is virtually inevitable, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox declared today in an address before a group of manufacturers. “We are satisfied”, Knox said, “that Japan has no intention of ! giving up her plans for expan- sion. If she continues that pol- icy a clash with the United States is virtually inevitable”. MR. AND MRS. GEO.

There will be no advertisement for bids. Instead, Lieut. Albert J. Fay, station public*works offi- cer, will send specifications and questionnaires to a group of se- lected contractors, probably firms which already have equipment on the ground. Barracks to be constructed will set aside for recreation. Captain Crenshaw said He plans to put in‘ handball courts and similar equipment for outdoor sports. Blocks Emma Street Acquisition of the block by the navy means Emma street will be cut off as a public highway, since the navy will run its fences out to include the block, prob- ably taking over that section of Emma for its own use. Lieutenant Fay also has been ordered to let bids for construc- tion of the proposed section base at Trumbo Island, and work there is to get underway soon. The navy will take over all property from its present boun- dary at the air station in a northwesterly direction to old ferry docks, except for the dock and land owned by the Orange State Oil company. Section bases simliar authorized here have been start- ed recéntly at ‘three other cities in Florida.
