OF PLANE Two Amateur Radio Ope rators in Chicago Report Receiving Garbled Radio Messages Which They Believe Are From the Missing Rockford Plane! Plane Seen Over Green land. CHICAGO. Auk. 23. (fl'J Kulnt radio senilis received In Chicago lust night by two amateur operat- ors today save renewed hope that I Bert Ilassell mid Parker Cramer, j missing llockford-to-Stockholm fllorn, still are alike. The signals were received by Dr. Charles K. Hcelelh and Irving Strauss on a wavelength other than that on which the filers' plane. Greater liockford, was equipped to broadcast. This fact was partly explained, however, by a theory that the wavelength with the an tennae trailing from the plane In flight might be changed when the wires were strung on the ground. Tito signals, sent repeatedly, con sisted of it series of five "Its" fol lowed by five "Ds." After 10 sets fo them had been completed two "As" came In rapid succession. The letter "It" designated the last position which the plane broad east before messages from It were severed last Sunday morning. Ac cording to a prearranged code, "R." Indicated the plane was near Cape Chldley In Its flight from Coch rane, Out., to .Mount Evans, Green land. The "13" appeared meaningless unless Cramer, who is inexperl-j enceu m iuc luuiu ,nnn iijing iu message the plane was down, the "A" had no meaning for the re ceivers, ..The signals,- .operators said, came clearly. The story of the radio operators Increased hope of friends and rela tives of the filers at Rockford. 111., which they left on their proposed trip to Stockholm a week ago, that the aviators are on the ground In some inaccessible part of Green land or Quebec. Ships which have patrolled their course. In the North Atlantic reported no trace of the filers or tile plane, but said that if the men fell into the sea there was no clwtnce of their surviving long. LONDON, ling.. Aug. 23 (VP An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen says that the sheriff of South Greenland has in formed' Copenhagen that an air plane was seen flying over Fiske naessct Sunday and thence turned to the east. A telegram received by Greenland administration fro m tho sheriff there said today: "Machine reported absolutely without doubt from Flkenasset. The whole place, as well as Lich tunfels, observed the machine Sunday morning at 10:30 flying high from north -northwest and descending over Fiskenaessct." Ueptu'l Believed True The message received by the Greenland administration was follows: Machine reported abso lutely without doubt from Kisken aesset. The tvhole place, as well os Llchtenfels. observed the ma chine Sunday morning at 1 0:30 coming high from the north-northwest and descending over Kisken aesset, "The crew were clearly seen looking over the area through binoculars. Afterwards the ma chino turned eastwards j, Green landers' statement is abso lutely trustworthy and they de scribed the sound of the engine and gave the national marks on the machine." While tho sheriff of south Greenland did not give the 'na tional marks" seen on the plane this was understood here to moan the Amcritin markings as the in habitants of the town had been instructed to bo on the lookout for the American fliers. There was no indication in the message as to the probuble landing place of tho plane, but every effort will he made to discover this.
