The navy' failure to find Amelia

fortunate but the search provided
valuable training and experience
for those who took part In the
hunt. President Roosevelt said to
day. He branded as plain prevarica
tion reports that th search had
cost tbe government 34.250.00U
snd struck back at those who pub
licly questioned whether such a
hunt would have been ordered If
the victim were a poor fisherman
or any other American less prom
inent than Miss Earhart.
The navy, the president said,
will go Into action again in th
future to search for missing Amer
icans, rich or poor. If Informa
tion la available giving the (light
est hope of a rescue. The cost of
the Earhart-Noonan aearch could
