' He said he had determined def
initely that the plane would not
bare been able to send signals if
'down In the water.
, Lieut. Frank Johnson of the
! coast guard In San Francisco
-recommended extension of the
: search of the Phoenix island area
after conferring with Putnam.
The lost flier's husband ex
pressed appreciation of the naval
iand coast guard efforts, which
'included the sending of the big
aircraft carrier Lexington and
three destroyers from San Diego
to participate In the search,
r . "They, hate done everything
possible," said JPutnara, "and I
am grateful for their extensive
effort." j
President Roosevelt expressed
concern for tbe safety of Miss j
Earhart and said he was reced
ing frequent reports on. the res
cue efforts. He said the searchers
bad been ordered to cover as
much territory as possible. -
Despite the unprecedented mo
bilization of naral forces for the
htant, the nary department said
it . was Impossible . to estimate
whether It involred 'coats in addi
tion . to regular operating , ex
panses. - .- . I
; Officers said the normal daily ,
operating cost of fire naral ves
sels involved was about $13,750
but pointed out this expense had
to be borne regularly whether the
ships were In port or under way.
: The revised schedule followed
a 24-hour period checking numer
ous reports of messages or other
slngals from the missing plane,
- none of which produced an ac
ceptable clue.
First ' reports of the - revised
plans did not state what would be
- done with the Itasca, which had
been awaiting the Colorado's ar
rival north of Howland with the
expectation of replenishing its
fuel and water supplies.
The Moorby, which had been
.assisting the Itasca and tbe Swan,
decided to proceed to its next
port of call. . '
Belief that Miss Earhart and
Koonan might bare fallen short of
Howland Instead of orershooting
it followed navigators reports in
dicating they may have been buck
ing brisk headwinds.
Reported Flares
Prove Otherwise
Hopes were raised but quickly
' dashed early today when the Itas
ca sighted lights it at first believ
ed were flares but which officers
later concluded were meteors or
.., heat lightning. '
"Sighted flares, proceeding to
ward them," the cutter radioed at
' 3:46 a. m. (EST).
"We can see your flares;, are
coming toward you," it messaged
in an attempt to contact the miss
ing plane.
But after a tense wait, listeners
heard the Itasca report:
"Objects sighted were apparent-
- ly meteors as Howland reported
same effect." -
It would have been Impossible
for the Itasca and Howland island,
more than 280 miles apart, to
have seen the same flares.
San Francisco coast guard an
thorities Investigated without
comment the report of Radio Am
ateur Charles Miguel of Oakland
that he heard a woman's voice at
f : 3 S a. m. . (EST) call "SOS," give
the signature of Miss Earhart's
plane and mention a position 281
miles north of Howland.
The area was searched In vain
previously by the Itasca seeking
the source of a similar message
Nd . other stations reported the
call Miguel said he heard.
Atlantic Spanned
By two big Ships
(Continued from Page I)
Capt, Harold E. Gray of the
Clipper was not much better. "It
was a pleasant, enjoyable trip,
he said.
But to those thousands who
massed at Botwood and Foynes
to watch two groups of fliers
asher in a new era in transporta
tion, the occasion has portents!
which warranted cheers.
- jThey yelled their enthusiasms
as the two silver-hulled, four-en-glned
winged boats -settled on the
water at either side of the Atlan
tic and the crews clambered out
to receive their welcomes. .
. iThe flights, for survey purposes,
began at Southampton, England,
. and Port Washington, N. T and
there they will end. The Caledo
nia is due at the little Long Is
land community Friday and the
Clipper at Southampton Thurs-
day. -
. I In all, the Clipper will fly some
3.409 miles to link Great Britain
" with the United States. The Cale
donia will fly .3,560, veering to
Montreal before proceeding down
to Port Washington.
Captain Wilcockson and his
trew of three alighted on Can
der's lake at 2:06 a. m. (PST)
having maintained a speed of 133
miles an hour en" route. Captain
Gray and .his crew of six came
down on the River Shannon at
10:51 a. m., British summer time
(1:50 a, m. PST), for an average
speed of 151 miles an hour.
. Regular transatlantic service by
air probably will be established
next spring by Imperial Airways
and Pan American Airways.
French and German transport
companies also are planning es
tablishment of transatlantic air

Two score fast sports - planes.
from trim low-wing monoplanes
to, elaborate cabin ships, will flash
across finish lines at each airport
on the 1937 Oregon air tour as the
fleet competing in the special nav
igation contest for a grand prise
of 1 500 and the Union Oil tro
phy, according to Allan D. Green
wood, tour director. i
Arrival of the navigation' eon-
test pilots will be part of the spec
tacular air show which will be
presented at the Salem airport at
: 00. July s, with the three-hour
sky circus and the flying aircraft
exhibition as the other features.
The 19 3r Oregon air tour is a
three-ring aeronautical circus
with these three features.
At each airport will be a long
white line across the runway,
which is the finish line for the pi
lots in the navigation contest: for
that stop. Each win be accurately
timed In order to make records
complete. ... - 1
Captain Warren Carey, director
of aviation of Union Oil company,
and veteran supervisor of naviga
tion contests, will handle this af
fair. He directed the Ruth Chat
terton transcontinental air derby
for sportsmen pilots last year with
the finish at the national air races
at Los Angeles.
Problem is Given
In flying the course, each pi
lot takes off from the start with
card showing a conspicuous
spot on the way to the next city.
This card is given him Just as
he takes off. He must navigate
to that landmark on a correct
compass course at his cruising
speed. ; When he reaches that
landmark, he will see ' a large
number written on" the ground.
He refers to his card again and
notes the compass course oppo
site the number then he navi
gates on that compass course to
his stop, where he flashes across
the finish line for the judges to
time, circles and lands.
The pilot who turns in the
best record for the entire, course,
with the nearest perfect naviga
tion and the nearest arrival times
on the basis of -the cruising speed
of his ship will win the beauti
ful silver trophy and the cash
award.
These navigation contests have
been used many times In smaller
air tours and aviation events and
have proved to be as exciting for
the crowds as well as pilots. A
pilot may pile up points one day
with good navigation and lose
them the next so the winner is
in doubt until the end.
Three sportsman pilots organ
izations have made the 137
Oregon Air Tour, an "Official"
aviation event Los Angeles' Av
iation Country club, San Fran
cisco Aviation Country club,! and
the Sportsman Pilots of Oregon.
The three groups will enter their
best navigators and fliers in the
contest.
