Second Report Received of
Hydroairplane Sighted Off
Azores Believed Impos
sible for Plane to Float
Long Opinion in Madrid
Pessimistic for Spaniards
MADUID. June JR. l.-V) A ser-
I ond unconfirmed report reached
.Madrid today that the wreckage
of a hydroairplane which might
be that of the missing Spanish
trans-Atlantic fliers. had been
sighted alMHH 1 00 miles off the
A Zores.
This report waa given by tho
Trans liadio company which stated
that Its Flnistere station had pick
ed up a report from u PortUKiieHO
fishing boat named the Juan Ma
rinburo, that an unnamed Prlllsh
freighter about 100 miles from the
Azores saw the wreckago of a hy
droairplane. Nobody was aboard.
A similar report was received
yesterday by the Madrid military
radio station, but is still uncon
firmed. The brother of Captain Kulr. Do
Alda Haiti he considered the Finls
tere report picked up from the
Portuguese fishing craft extreme
ly improbable because the plane
could not possibly have continued
to float as was described.
The concensus of opinion In
Mm d rid was pessimistic. Some avi
atio nofflccrs thought Hint if hy
droplane wreckage had actually
been seen it was possible that a
small craft not provided with wire
less had rescued the wviators.
Military aviation headquarters
sent a message tit the passenger
steamship "Cuba," which is near
the A Korea, en route for Spain,
asking the master to keep a sharp
watch for any trace of Major
Franco's plane. A similar message
was m'lil to Hie steamer "Cap Ar
con.i," which Is bound' for Spain
from Buenos Aires.

above this flying field today and
t talked by trans-Atlantic telephone
jwith- Miss Martha Dalrymple of
ithe Associated Tress staff In Lon
don. It wasn't a "story" In the strict
newspaper sense, but more In th
nature of a social call negotiated
In a successful experiment to link
Ira nsoceanlc telephone er vlco
with airplane radio.
Participating In the gossiping
party, but using separate connec-
itions, were representatives of
I other American press associations
and a representative of Heuter's.
Ltd., of London, ft British news
gathering agency. All talked with
members of their London staffs.
After the tako-off In a specially
equipped plane nf the American
Telephone & Telegraph company,
the Associated Preiw reporter ad
justed his microphone and. an the
plane whizzed at DO miles, an hour
through the fog and clouds abov
the field, the operation went like,
this: r
"tiet me the Associated Press in
London."
The reporter's cull waa picked
up by the telephone company's
I experiniAntal radio station at
Whippany. and the plane radio
waa linked with tho bind tele
phone system nnd -thence. .tu tho
trans-Atlantic.
The head- phone of the reporter
spluttered and huzzed a few mo
ments until London answered.
"AP," (he reporter heard.
"Hell, this i Chaplin of the
New York office. Is Martha Dai
ry tuple there?"
Miss Dalrymplo came, on the
line.
"Hello. iMisH Dalrymplo ?"
"Yes."
"This Is Tllll Chaplin of tho
New York office."
