BULLETIN Ne armg Oakland as her first goal, Amelia Earhart Putnam may attempt to fly cn nonstop to Salt Lake City break-ins her own women's long distance flight record, George P. Putnam, her husband, told the United Press early this morn ing. "With conditions continuing favorable I would not be at all surprised if Miss Earhart did not stop at Oakland but flew on toward Salt Lake," Putnam said. One gallant woman alone against the night. Amelia Earhart Putnam carried not even a cat for companion when she lifted her crimson monoplane from the mud of Wheeler Field late yesterday, but all through the night the hearts of Honolulu and the world rode beside her in the cockpit; hearts buoyed high with hepe that she would skim down on Oakland Airport this morning to be first woman to fly both oceans.

Against odds of weather and even minds of men, the tall curly-haired woman who has won universal devotion as America's Lady Lindy climbed into the cabin of her purring Lockheed-Vega, gunned the motors and was off. As this edition of The Advertiser went to press she was nearing Oakland. The plane's slim wings wobbled ever so slightly as Amelia roared 79TH. YEAR. NO.

Jan. of paper added their rus tie and crackle today to the chor us of accusation against Bruno Kichard Hauptmann as the mur dcrer of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. Some were paper money-blood money which Col.

Charles Lindbergh paid in attempt to save the Lfe of his first born son who already lay dead; some writing paper ransom notes and pieces of stationery on which Hauptmann scribbled after his arrest in the Eronx last fall, giving police sam pies of his handwriting. These morsels of evidence were added today to the foreboding store against the alien carpenter. Albsrt Osborn, a deaf old ran supposed to know more about handwriting than anybody else in the world, swere on the standthat Hauptmann hir.F.elf wrote all the ransom r.o'.s. DISCUSSES SYMBOLS Osborn said the two ransom coif received by Lindbergh were written by the same hand. He said he noted seven or eight peculiarities and similarities in the notes, such as repeated incorrect spelling of certain words.

In detail he discussed the similarity of symbols in the notes. The peculiar outline of holes in the notes could not have been made from description, he opined. He believed the holes were not perforations, "but were punched by some crude mechanical device." Meanwhile a United Press story uncovered important state evidence that George Johnson, a mechanic, had repainted Haupt-mann's green sedan a month after th? kidnaping occurred, nearly three years ago. It was indicated that Johnson would be called as a witness. EXPERT POSITIVE Osborn, an elderly man requiring a mechanical device to enable him to hear, got out his pointer and charts and delivered a lecture eti the technic of handwriting, whereon he based his conclusions.

"I firmly believe Hauptmann wrote all the ransom notes," he finished. The courtroom was awed to a hush by his statement. Osborn cited the peculiar Ger- Continued on Page 2, CoL 3) Go to ALONE OVER THE rACIFIC Since 4:43 p.m. yesterday Amelia Earhart has been winging her way over the Pacific toward Oakland, California.

A begrimed Army mechanic summed it up rather neatly at tha field as he watched them kiss goodbye a few minutes before the take-eff. "Gee," he said, Til bet he'll be flying every minute of this flight himself." PUBLISHER NERVOUS Certainly George Palmer Putnam showed more emotion than did Amelia yesterday afternoon. All the day the young publisher bustled nervously about while his wife made her final preparations. He admitted his state on the drive to Wbeeler Field when he turned to Paul Mantz and said: "You know, this is worse than having a baby." At the field the couple were alone in Chris Holmes big sedan only a moment for their last farewell.

She left the car to climb immediately into the cockpit. In the few minutes before she sped away, Putnam paced nervously beside the plane. Then, as she started to taxi down the field, he began to run after. Amelia turned around once in the cockpit to wave, then was gone.

For my wife and myself I wish to express our great appreciation to Major Clark for help extended at Wheeler Field, and for the courtesy of Colonel Emmons and General Dorey which made it possible.

And very deeply, to the enlisted personnel who did such a grand job with the plane. Lastly, we're sorry not to have been able to accept the many cordial invitations extended tt us, because time was so preoccupied with preparations for the flight.

Amelia talked to KGU, the navy and army radio stations almost as easily as you would call your neighbor on the telephone. Early this morning she had passed the halfway mark of the 2031 miles to Oakland. As her signals faded in Hawaii receivers, coast stations began to pick up her broadcasts more strongly and help guide her in to the airport.

She was in almost constant touch with either Hawaii or the Mainland with her two-way voice radio, an unprecedented circumstance in Pacific aviation. Amelia rose leisurely yesterday morning at Chris Holmes' (Continued on Page 4, CoL 1) Goodbye Kiss In Blue Sedan Their Farewell la the bine sedan in which they had driven to the field, Mr. and Mrs. George Falmer Putnam said their own last goodbyes. For only a moment they were alone.

Just time for a few tender words and a kiss. Then Amelia stepped from the car, strode firmly toward the plane with not a look behind, and got into the cockpit. Not until she started to speed down the field did she turn from her work and then it was to wave a last goodbye to her husband, running beside the plane. ear Voice Flight Progress Followed Over Radio "This is KHABQ, everything is O. Hundreds of radio listeners throughout the territory thrilled last night as they heard Amelia Earhart broadcast such messages as the above from her plane as she flew steadily toward Oak land, 2,091 miles from Honolulu.

Many persons, not possessing short wave radio sets or unable to receive the messages from the plane direct, heard the intrepid aviatrix cheerful reports relayed to them over KGU. At the naval radio station at Wailupe; with Comdr. F. Holden in command, an all-night watch was maintained and a log of the messages received from the plane was kept. John Signer, of the staff of KGU, also stood by at Wailupe and relayed messages from the plane to the station's headquarters at The Ad vertiser building.

KGU LISTENS EM KGU also received, by means of a short wave station atop the roof of the building, the reports sent out by the flier at half hour intervals. The messages came in with, varying strength and in some instances were received more clearly at one station than at the other. The thrilling flight was fol lowed throughout the night by many persons, who remained before their radios waiting breathlessly for the next report from the plane. Miss Earhart's first radio re port was received at 4:45 p. m.

She asked me to emphasize that she is undertaking it solely because she wants to, with no strings whatever; and that the entire responsibility for the flight is her own.

She said that she found the commencement of this flight perhaps the hardest she has attempted, because of the mental hazards set up by the unwarranted criticism directed against her equipment. Naturally at the time she made no reply, believing that flights are accomplished in the cockpit and not in newspapers.
