erly. So there is some hope she mizht reach the Gilbert islands. During 20 years of voyaging in the South Seas I have become acquainted with the immense difficulty of locating such isolated atolls as Howland, which ri.es a scant eight feet above the water. I have often sailed within eight miles of Howland without sighting the island. Various birds usually indicate distance from the islands.

Red-footed boobies sometimes range from 90 to 100 miles from the AMELIA RESCUE HOPES FADE AS PLANERETURNS Navy Patrol Ship Unable To, Penetrate Storms In Vicinity of Howland (Continued from Page 1) rested on the slim possibility that a series of radio signals heard at intervals throughout Friday night came from their plane. After the navy plane was obliged to turn around, the coast guard cutter Itasca, which- had returned to Hovilarid island to act as a base craft, resumed its search for the fliers in the seas northwest of the island. The Itasca had nothing to guide it in its search other than the belief, based on earlier Teports of Miss Earhart's flying speed, that she had flown over the island and come down in the water somewhere within 100 miles northwest of Howland. The final message from the plane gave its quadrant position as the southwest half of a circle with no reference point, and was useless in attempting to locate the fliers. Coast guard officials emphasized that the last known report from Miss Earhart was this voice radio message yesterday morning giving the incomplete position and saying, "Circling in air." Three different times during the night radio stations here heard a series of signals which "might possibly" have come from the lost plane.

Two Tadio amateurs in Los Angeles reported hearing distress signals and said they recognized Miss Earhart's voice, but no official station picked up those signals. There was likewise no report from the Itasca to indicate that it heard either the signals picked up here and by the New Zealand cruiser Achilles, now cruising in the South Seas. NEWSREELS OF FATAL RIOTING AREiXIHBlTED Senate Investigators View Films; Chicago Police Accused of Brutality By C. L. SULZBERGER I'nited Prea Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 3.

The La Follette civil liberties investigating committee last night exhibited newsreels cf the South Chicago steel riot to a crowd of 500 persons. The films of the riot, in which 10 persons died as police broke up-a march on the Newton Steel Co. plant, had been voluntarily banned by their owners from general circulation on the grounds they might incite further battles. Steel unionists charged that police started the bloody riot by firing into the crowd, which included both men and women. Many were felled by police clubs and the rioters retaliated with improvised weapons, including bricks, pipes and clubs.

In accordance with orders by Senator Robert M. La Foliette. chairman of the committee, several of the officers involved sat in the front row at the showing. They included Police Commissioner J. P.

Allman, J. C. Trendergast, chief of the uniformed detail, and Capts. J. L.

Mooney and Thomas Kilroy. Later Harry Harper, a mechanic who lost his left eye in the riot, testified he went to the plant seeking his brother. "All hell broke loose." Harper said. "Blood ran from my mouth and I was almost I ran and fell into a ditch." He said he was loaded into a patrol wagon and taken to a hospital, lie said some companions were sent to the morgue although there was no one present to ascertain whether they were dead or alive.

Then came the message at 7:42 saying the gasoline supply was dwindling, and the final flash at 8:55 giving the garbled position and saying "circling in air." Officers of the Itasca were hopeful the plane would stay afloat for a considerable time.

FALSE REPORT ON RADIO SAID AMELIA FOUND Navy Officers Think Broadcast Rumor Arose From Achilles' Message SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.

Navy officers here said they thought a Tumor broadcast Friday night by Honolulu radio station KGU that Amelia Earhart had. been found arose from a radiogram dispatched from a New Zealand warship which reported. hearing a series of radio dashes. The warship, Achilles, war in the vicinity between Samoa and? the Phoenix islands en route to Honolulu, roughly 300 miles south or southeast of Howland island, officers said. The Achilles made this report: "An unknown station was heard to make 'Please give us a few dashes, if you get "The signal was on' 3105 kilocycles.

This station made KHAQQ (Miss Earhart's call letters) twice and then disappeared. Nothing more since then." The message was sent at 11:30 Friday night (9 -in Honolulu) and was believed to have been the Earhart plane. KGU radi- station in Honolulu broadcast the report Miss Earhart had been found, but later corrected it, saying. "We got something mixed up." Coast guard officials here expressed belief Friday, night that if Amelia Earhart were afloat where she was believed to have landed. 100 miles northeast of Howland island, the ocean drift would carry her into trading ship lanes, 300 miles westward, within one week.

She might reach the Gilbert Islands within nine days, they said. The westward drift was estimated at 50 miles daily. Not Broadcast by KGMB Officials of the Honolulu Broadcasting referring to the broadcast announcements last night, made the following statement today: "The Honolulu Broadcasting Co, in the interests of accuracy, wishes to state that it was not its station, KGMB, which last night broadcast the report that Amelia Earhart had been picked up."

Believed Down at Sea The wigwag man was flashing t6 us from the government house, and the word received was shouted to us. Amelia was believed down! All shore parties were ordered to return to the ship. My heart sank.

It didn't seem real. Men were running the house and boats put off from the Itasca. No one was laughing. Orders were passed sharply and before we realized it the loaded boats were back at the Itasca. Eight of us colonists were left behind, and we were alone again on the island.

The noise of the birds seemed louder. We waited, but there was no verification from the Itasca, which was lying about half a mile off shore. I couldn't make myself believe Amelia had missed us. We kept watching the sky and at 11:37 a. m.

They may have allowed for the effect of the wind which either died down or may have changed altogether He said the plane would drift to the west at the rate ef 10 to 40 miles daily and eventually land at ffome island. islands, sooty terns 40 miles and others equally definite distances. Miss Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, should be familiar with 'such matters and should be able to estimate their general. position if they are near an island. Smooth rolling seas are usual in the Howland area and should have facilitated a landing, as well as increasing her chances of rescue.

Rescue is hampered by the fact there are no ships or sampans in the vicinity. Sharks of the area would be no menace as long as no blood is present, which would enrage them. PUTNAM SURE AMELIA IS SAFE from Page 1) Francisco also shared Mr. Putnam's optimism. They said that in event she had overshot the tiny goal-of her long flight she possibly circled to the southwest and landed on the Phoenix islands.

Would Spoil Accuracy Referring to a report that Miss Earhart and her navigator, Fred J. Noonan, had been unable to set their plane's chronometers accurately in Lae, New Guinea, Lt. F. K. Johnson of the division office, USCG, said: "Any lack of knowledge of their fastness or slowness would defeat the accuracy of Noonan's navigational calculations.

This might have caused the plane to miss its "They'll have to get on the job before any one finds Earhart and Noonan," other officials said in commenting on the flight of a navy seaplane from Honolulu to Howland. Mrs. Noonan Optimistic OAKLAND, July 3. (U.R Mrs. F.

By CAPT.

BILL ANDERSON Copyright 1937 By The United Tres I believe that Amelia Earhart is alive and is drifting slowly westward if her plane was forced down in the sea. If the plane made a successful landing on the water he probably will remain afloat for days, as seas of the area are relatively calm at this season. Recalling the 10 days during which Lt. Cmdr. John Rod gers and his crew of four floated before they were picked up by a submarine near Nawiliwili, off the island of Kauai, September 10, 1925, I believe it possible to chart Miss Ear-hart's probable position just as Rodgers was.

The current in the area flows in a westerly direction at about two knots. Prevailing winds are east-! FAINT SIGNALS ARE HEARD HERE (Continued from Page 1) tangible basis for supposing the lost plane was still afloat and still sending wireless appeals for help. The warship reported hearing, at approximately 10:30, a radio con versation between two unknown stations. One said: "Please give us a few dashes, if you get us. KHAQQ.

KHAQQ." The call letters were those of the Earhart plane. The Achilles reported it heard the second station reply with a long series of dashes. Silence followed. An army operator here and two amateurs in Los Angeles reported hearing the dashes, but none of the Honolulu amateurs who kept an all night vigil had similar reports. Radio station KGU in iepeated voice broadcasts told the Earhart plane the Itasca was searching for it and advised shooting flares during the night.

The station said the Itasca would sweep the sea with searchlights in darkness and would send out heavy clouds of black smoke during daylight. Coast guard officials said, when the plane's last report was heard Friday morning, the Itasca shot a cloud of smoke through her funnel which, they estimated, could be seen for a radius of 50 miles be cause of good visibility. They expressed belie! the plane overshot the island at about 9:30, missing it possibly because of the glare of the "rising sun."

SAY THEY HEARDAMELIA Amateur Radiomen Claim To Have Received Flier's Distress Call LOS ANGELES. July 3. Twd Los Angeles amateur radio operators claimed to have received distress calls from Miss Earhart at 4:12 and 4:30 this morning, Honolulu time, each repeated thrice. The same two amateurs reported they heard repeated "SOS KHQQ" radio signals at 11 last night.

The caU letters approximate those of the Earhart plane. Walter McNemany, one of the operators, said, recognized Miss Earhart's voice. Last night he and Carl Picrson said the signals they picked up were so weak they hardly could hear them. Once, they said, they caught presumably latitude signals, but the remainder was blotted out by interference. The radio operators said the first signal last night was heard on 3,105 1 Jt A.

(Coast guard headquarters here and San Francisco said they did not receive the messages referred to by the two amateurs.) May Be 180 Miles South Reserve Lt. Cmdr. C.

S. Williams, who mapped the course for Amelia Earhart's world flight, believes the pilot and Navigator Fred J. Noonan may have gone as far as 180 miles south of Howland before being forced down in the sea. (Cmdr. Williams also expressed the belief the fliers might have landed on Baker island, but coast guard officials in Honolulu discounted that possibility, pointing out that there is radio equipment on Baker and news of a landing would certainly have been flashed by the Hawaiian colonists living there.) Course Over Corrected.

Cmdt. Williams thinks Miss Earhart may have over corrected her course because of trade winds, he said today. "During the summer, and particularly in June, southeast trade winds blow over part of the course at 23 to 28 miles an hour, he said. "This would require the pilot to steer to the right of their course to rutin it attacked her after she pleaded that they provide an escort for the marchers.
