Captain Stanford E. Moses, commander of the air force of the Twelfth Naval District, has arranged to inspect the fill next week with City Manager John N. Edy. At a recent Chamber of Commerce dinner the captain urged Berkeley to install a landing field, pointing out that cities which did not encourage aviation would, in the near future, wish they had. The field location is directly opposite the Golden Gate and could serve as a landing field for Navy planes as well as Army planes.
