(IP) Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan foresaw the possibility of being adrift on the ocean, but likely they did not expect to encounter conditions as trying as being afloat in an airplane or rubber lifeboat on an Equatorial sea.

Their familiarity with rescues at sea and recognition of the hazards of the 2,570 mile flight from British New Guinea to tiny Howland Island led them to be prepared for such an emergency. Their plane itself, with its great low wing, six empty gasoline tanks, and light aluminum frame made itself a floating raft. They carried a quickly inflatable two-man rubber lifeboat and life belts for a final emergency. They were equipped with flares and a pistol to attract rescue ships or planes at night, and a large yellow signal kite for use in the daytime.

(By The Associated Press) Following ia the day-to-day record of Amelia Earhart's attempted "just for fun" journey around the world: June 1 Hopped off from Miami, at 5:47 a. E.S.T., for San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she landed eight hours and 17 minutes later. June 2 Landed at Caripito, little Venezuelan oil town, at 10:18 a. E. S.

June 7 Took off for Dakar, French Senegal, on the African coast a expanse of the South Atlantic beneath her.

June 7 Landed at St. Louis, Sen-agal, West Africa after spanning the Atlantic in 13 hours and 22 minutes. Bad weather caused her to change from the Dakar destination. June 8 Hopped 125 miles to Dakar because of better take-off facilities there. June 10 Flew 1,140 miles into Central Africa, landing at Gao, French West Africa after day's delay due to weather.

June 11 Landed at Fort Lamy, French equatorial Africa after flying over 1,000 miles of Sahara Desert wastes.

Demands Attack Be Shown Also Chicago Official Says This was IX ot included in Strike Riot Film. CHICAGO, July 3. (P) Chicago corporation counsel Barnet Hodes demanded today that a photograph of the South Chicago steel strike riot snapped by an Associated Press cameraman be exhibited by theaters showing news reels of the Memorial Day battle.

Hodes, acting in the absence of Mayor Edward Kelly, telegraphed the demand to a Paramount news film company after it had ordered the release of the film for general i exhibition. news reel fails to show "the attack of the mob on the police" which the latter contended caused them to fire on the demonstrators, 10 of whom were killed. "The nature of this attack on the police, however, is graphically shown by a still photograph made by an Associated Press photographer," Hodes said. He declared the picture should be exhibited "in simple justice to the city of Chicago." Lieut. Harry Costello, head of the Crime Prevention Bureau and police department censor, said the films will not be exhibited in Chicago on the grounds it would "incite people who see it." Theater officials and police at St.

Louis banned the news reels from theaters there as "unfit for women and children."

One of the best indications that the situation was no longer considered dangerous was seen in Premier Konoye's departure for a weekend of golf and swimming in the country. (An official communique in Moscow announced the Russian evacuation had been ordered after the Japanese ambassador, Mamoru Shig-emitsu, agreed to the withdrawal of Japanese-Manchoukuan military cut ters from the Amur islands.) Though the settlement apparently removed any immediate danger of war, informed circles feared that in the long run feeling between the two countries would be greatly embittered by the incident. Many saw the result as a serious blow to Soviet prestige in the Far East an incident which might rankle for a long time to come.

There was apprehension over possible effect on other questions involving the two great nations, particularly renewal of negotiations for a permanent fisheries treaty to another long-standing dispute. Japanese and Russian armed forces were concentrated along the (Continued on Page 13) Coast Guard Station Has Received No Word Whatsoever. BATTLESHIP SENT FROM HONOLULU Aviatrix And Companion Carried Rubber Raft For Emergency. HONOLULU, July 3. (fF) Reports that the voice of tousle-haired Amelia Earhart had been picked up, calling "SOS" from the mystery spot where she is lost in mid-Pacific, buoyed hopes for her ultimate rescue today as the U.

S. Navy ordered a battleship into the search. Two Los Angeles amateur radio operators bb late as 7 a. m. Pacific Time (10 a.

m. EST) said they distinctly heard her sound her call letters, KHAQQ, after thrice saying "SOS" some 20 minutes earlier. At San Francisco, however, a coast guard station reported at noon Eastern Standard Time it had received no word whatever although radio reception was unusually good, Earlier the Los Angeles operators, Walter McMcnamy and Carl Pier-son, interpreted radio signals as placing the plane adrift near the equator between Gilbert Islands and Rowland Island, the latter Miss Ear-hart's destination when her fuel was exhausted more than 20 hours before. At Washington, the Navy Department ordered the battleship Colorado, with three planes aboard, to begin a search from Honolulu, where it arrived yesterday. "I recognized Miss Earhart's voice from conversations I have had with her, although I never heard her on the air before," said Pierson concerning his 7 a.

m. reception. "Walter recognized her because he maintained wireless contact with her plane on her flight from Oakland to Hawaii this spring." Their reports were added to an increasing number of others, all believed coming from the missing plane and prompting coast guardsmen to express belief that Miss Ear-hart and her navigator would be rescued. The operators said that in between Miss Earhart's code and voice signals they could hear her "carrier wave," a steady whistle from which her location could be determined by means of a radio compass. As searchers took hope from their knowledge that Miss Earhart and her companion carried a rubber raft intended to keep them afloat, the Weather Bureau at Washington reported clouds and some wind near Howland Island.

"KHAQQ" is the call of Miss Earhart's plane, last heard from in the air yesterday at 2:12 p. EST, when she reported she and her navigator, the veteran Fred Noonan, could not 6ight land and were nearly out of gas.

(JP) The only woman besides Amelia Earhart ever to have been forced down in a trans-Pacific plane flight never was heard from again.

Miss Mildred Doran, young attractive school teacher of Flint, who perished in the 1927 Cali-fornia-to-Hawaii Dole flight, was Miss Earhart's predecessor in an unfortunate Pacific flight. She was a passenger In a plane piloted by the irrepressible "straw hat" aviator, J. Auggy Pedlar. Lieut. V.

COMMUNISTS CLAIM PART IN WALKOUT Circulars Distributed Assert That They Are With New Union. YOUNGSTOWN, July 3. VP) A CIO "purge" began today, as the union's axe fell on Gu3 Hall and two other strike captains in the Mahoning Valley steel sector.

John general CIO strike director Ohio, announced without comment the removal of Hall, now in jail under charges of heading a "dynamite ring," as strike captain in the Warren area. A joint leadership of Harry Wines and John Grsj-cier replaced him. Owens also stripped two of his Youngstown strike lieutenants of their authority, removing Bob Burke, chief organizer at the Republic steel plant, and John Stevenson, organizer at the main plant of the xoungstown Sheet Tube Co. Communist participation in the strike was claimed in circulars div tributed through the valley today. In the circulars Phil Bart, "Mahoning Valley secretary of the Communist party," said: "Of course the Communist party and its members in the steel mills participated in the drive to organ-ize steel and all other unorganized industries.

The Communist party joins with all democratic forces in the struggle against reactionaries, open shop violence, and Fascism." Philip Murray, chairman of SWOC (the CIO steel affiliate which called the strike May 27) said at Pittsburgh he "knew nothing about" the removal of the Ohio strike leaders. Owens' "housecleaning" order was issued only a few hours after another prominent chieftain of th CIO movement Homer Martin, (Continued on Page 12) Child Marriage In New Jersey Fourteen Year Old Girl Be comes Bride of Fisher man, Who is 33. SEA ISLE CITY, N. July 3. (JP) Fourteen-year-old Lucy Conti Sanzica began her honeymoon today with her 33-year-old fisherman husband and looked forward on their return to keeping house and having the ceremony.

The daughter of a deep sea fish erman was married last night by Justice of the Peace William F. Jochner to Michael Sanzica, who works with her father. The par ents, puzzled by the interest in New Jersey's latest "child marriage," gave their written consent to the wedding and laughed at the theory their daughter was too young for marriage. The father said Sanzica will make a good husband for Lucy. "He is a man of good habits.

He neither smokes nor drinks," he said. The justice closed the city hall commissioners' room where the marriage took place to all but the interested parties. When the couple returns from their planned auto trip to Canada they will set up a home in a little cottage next to that of the bride's parents. Lucy finished the sixth grade in school a few days ago.

Emergency rations and a plenti- lul supply of water were reported stored aboard the plane before its takeoff from Lae.

But they could do nothing about the blazing hot Equatorial sun. In the rubber raft they would have no protection from the sun's direct rays. Even the water remains at a constant temperature of about 82 degrees. This is nearly 30 degrees above the normal temperature of the ocean at San Francsico. Noonan, a master mariner who first went to sea nearly 30 years ago, has participated in a number of rescues at sea although he himself was never adrift before.

On one occasion he aided in rescuing five French soldiers from an ice floe. Another time he joined in saving the lives of Portuguese fisherman whose boat had sunk. Miners' Asthma Bill Approved Among Bills Signed by Gov. Earle is One Affecting Coal Industry. HARRISBURG, July 3.

Japanese War Tension Eased: Russia To Withdraw Patrols Phila. Truck "Holiday" Ends: Newspapers To Appear Again TOKYO, July 3. Russo-Japanese war tension eased today after Soviet Russia agreed to withdraw naval patrols from the disputed Amur river islands between Siberia and Manchoukuo, but powerful Japanese army leaders kept close watch of the situation, apparently considering it not completely settled. The foreign office announced the incident, growing from a clash between Russian and Japanese-Man-choukuan forces June 30, was settled, explaining the Soviet government had promised to recall her forces from the trouble zone. Actual Russian evacuation, however, apparently was awaited by Japanes army leaders before they would relax their vigilance, especially since they alleged Russia broke a previous promise to withdraw.

Some Japanese authorities still went on to insist Moscow must give adequate guarantees against a repetition of the Amur affair and recur-rence of border incidents generally. A wave of relief swept over the nation when newspaper extras made public the agreement reached in Moscow. All members of the cabinet of Prince Fumimaro Konoye ex PHILADELPHIA, July 3.
