MOFFETT PRAISES
NAVY AIR SERVICE
Scores “Unsportsmanlike”
Method of Attack on
Flying Forces.
By the Assooiaterl Press.
DKS MOINES, lowa. October 27.
In a fighting Navy day .speech. Rear
Admiral Moffett, chief of the Navy
Bureau of Aeronautics, declared here
today his opposition to a separate air
force, as proposed by Col. William
Mitchell, and his support of the plan
for an air service as part of the fleet.
“President Coolidge stated the Na
vy's ease,” the admiral asserted,
“when he said that what we need is
a ‘balanced tleet.’ By this he meant
n balanced fleet on the surface, under
the surface and over the surface.
“The Navy in four brief years, in
*plte of all that has been said. Is not
surpassed anywhere in its aviation.
This is a record of achievement in
which the country can well feel se
cure.’’
Knjoyed Fighting.
Speaking of the efforts necessary
" build up naval aviation, and with
out mentioning Col. Mitchell by name,
Vdmtral Moffett said:
“Wc have nut complained because
we had to tight. In fact, we have
rather enjoyed it. A\'e have carried
on our tight according to the rules of
the game. We think it more honora
ble. sportsmanlike and loyal to play
the game according to the rules than
■° win it by dishonorable or insub
ordinate methods. Wc have not gone
over the heads of the civil adminis
tration in an appeal to the people."
His opposition to a separate “air
force." contemplating employment of
aviation as a separate and independent
force and entity as distinguished from
«n “air service” employing aviation
ns a component part of either the
Army or Navy, was based partly on
the ground. Admiral Moffett said, that
if “contemplates revolutionary changes
in the system of administration.”
As a matter of fact, on the tactical
*lde of the question, he said, the
Navy s aviation will provide this air
force" if funds are made available to
tarry out the present five year build
ing program. This program contem
plates, he said, the development of
naval aviation on one side for "air
force"—that is. for coast defense and
for transportation with the tleet on
carriers—and on the other side for air
“service" for combatant ships, such os
short-range scouting and gunfire con
trol. which requires a smaller type of
plane.
Proud of Record.
With the tleet at sea thus properly
equipped with its own aviation, the
admiral said, “we have nothing to
fear from attacks by air based on any
outlying foreign or neutral posses
sions." At the same time, he said, in
assuming the offensive in war “we
must carry that branch of the offen
sive which relies upon aviation on the
backs of the fleet."
“We have gone ahead developing
our naval air force by building car
riers and planes to fly from them.”
Admiral Moffett said. "The air offen
sive is to be based on these carriers
and there is every assurance that by
a year from now, with the carriers Lex
ington and Saratoga and their planes,
we will have completed the first step
in applying air force as a component
part of our fleet."
Referring lo the Hawaiian flight
and the loss of the Shenandoah, rhe
admiral said:
"We are proud of the PN 3 and
what was accomplished, the Shenan
doah and her record, in spite of her
loss, and we deplore most not the loss
of the ship hut of Lansdowne and his
comrades, who never can be replaced.
We are proud of the unit that went

completely does away with that
power-stealing gas knock that comes
to most motors when they tackle a
steep hill. You simply cannot get
an ignition knock when you use the
new fuel. That means more power
just when you need it most, in fact
many more hills can now be made
"in high”.
The new motor fuel has many other
advantages. It is quick starting be
cause it is more volatile. It cuts down
crank case dilution because it burns
to the last drop even in a cold mo
tor. It is economical—costs less than
other special fuels. And finally, it is
easily' distinguished from all other
gasolines because it is red in color.
