MOFFET DEFENDS NAVAL_AVIATION Chief of Burean Describes Cost of Service Des Moines, Towa, Oct, 26 (P)— Defending the progress of Amerlcan naval aviation against its critics, Rear Admiral Moffett, chlef of the navy bureau of aeronautics, in an address here today before business men denled that the navy has spent millions on aviation and had little to sow for it. “The navy,” he declared, ‘“has not vet bought a plane or engine which was not at the time it was purchased as good as any plane or engine in existence to perform the work which it would be called upon to do. We feel that naval aviation today is defictent in numbers, due to the necessity for economy through the federal government, but we also feel that it Is not surpassed in types of alreraft by any npation in the world, “Today we have suitable types of planes for use from every type of ship and for their specific purposcs they have no superfors, We have developed the catapult to a polnt where 30 of them are in use day | after day and we have not yet haa a serlous casualty from their use.” Admiral Moffett, who {8 here for a series of navy day addres pointed out that aviation was not a cheap form of national defense, The overhead for maintenance and op- eration of aviation, he explained, was very conslderable while a plane with proper power units and suf- ficient spare parts cost from $25,000 to $150,000 and its life on the avers age is but three years, The navy in the five years from 1920 to 1924, Admiral Moffet stat- ed, spent $187,000,000 on aviation of which 30.600.000 was for the pur- chase of a chief. Lighty-four per cent of the total, or § 000,000, went foF such items as pay, food, transportation, surplus war m terial, maintenance and repair, scientific equipment, improvements at air stations and similar charges. During the five-year period, he sald, the navy purchased 608 planes and 1,034 engines, built the Shen- andoah and one small non-rigid air- ship, acquired the Los Angeles, and provided for the training of 1he crews of the lighter-than-air ships, | as well as purchased a great amount ! of miscellaneous ma G. 1, REED LEFT 88,432 Appraisers James J, Fitzsimmons and Charlea Weldon have placed a valuation of $8,423 on the estate of George J.
