But the Navy airmen's efforts to find the globe-girdling pair have not been dimmed they will spread their search over a 200,000 square mile area before admitting defeat. The search sector today will include the Gilbert Islands, 600 miles west of Howland. If nothing is found on these islands--last of the tiny mid-Pacific sand specks to be searched- -then hope will be abandoned. The Lexington's birdmen feel if the Earhart plane had been forced down of Howland Island it could easily have been carried by waves to the Gilbert group. Weather hampered the search yesterday.

Rain squalls and equatorial storms made hazardous and visibility extremely poor.

If the limitations on the thirtyfoot right of way along the creek! are such that it couldn't be made wide enough for a four-lane highway without prohibitive costs, they said "the thing to do is to make the most out of what is available," but that they prefer the wider highway. "The City should make a model highway with a curb or some sort of divider running lengthwise through the center to keep traffic separated and it should be properly lighted. a highway would let the motorist 'step on it' and get on his way, avoiding congestion and helping to prevent Dyer said. THE EVENING NEWS proposed a highway from Maclay to Paxton, which would be free from such traffic obstacles as parking, red lights and cross-traffic from intersecting streets.

Both Dyer and Canning said the distance from Maclay to Paxton is so long, ap-1. proximately three miles, and would so restrict usage to purely through traffic and that they think "appropriate ramp connections at three or four places, especially Market streets, would increasants usefulness." "However, that is just a matter of detail," said Dyer," and the important thing is that Harrisburg needs such a through way and ought to take steps to get it." As proposed, the highway would connect at its north end with a suggested thoroughfare leading from Linglestown road between Wildwood Park and the Pennsylvania Railroad. GASOLINE LEAK FORCES DESCENT From Page One a flight from New York to Syria in 1933.

Discover Fuel Leak Among the villagers who flocked to the pasture, astounded by the end of the spectacular flight, was a Russian who attempted to converse with the fliers.

He had difficulty speaking with the airmen but through his halting translation they told of fighting through fogs that envelloped Southern California's. coastal plains. They were heading over the San Jacinto mountains towards San Diego when they discovered the gasoline leak. Rather than risk a crack up, they looked for a landing spot. They were not aware that March Field, the Army's big airport, was less than twenty miles from the cow pasture which they selected for the landing.

Word of the landing was flashed to March Field and within a few minutes an Army plane from that base alighted in the pasture near the big red Russian plane. Guard Is Established Army officers said that they would attempt to repair gasoline leak and fly the plane to March Field to be placed in a hangar until Russian authorities decided what to do with the craft. Within thirty minutes after the landing a half dozen Army planes arrived over the field. The Russians were placed in one of the planes and taken to March Field. They had refused to leave their plane until United States Army troops had taken up guard stations around it.

The first Army official to welcome the fliers and attend to stationing the guard over their plane was Maj. Victor Strauhm of March Field. The Russians said that they were in the vicinity of San Francisco shortly after midnight. After that they encountered a complete blank wall as far as radio communication concerned. The coast and inland valleys were blanketed with heavy fog during the last stage of the flight.

Gregory Gokham, Russian consul general to San Francisco, flew to March Field in a chartered plane from San Diego. He had reached there only a few seconds before the report of the landing of the fliers was received. The Russians had been in the air sixty-two hours and six minlutes, or a little more than two and one-half days, when they landed at 10.30 a. Eastern Daylight Time. The safe.

landing of the three fliers at approximately 10.30 a. m. Eastern Daylight Time ended hours of anxiety over their safety. No word was heard from them while they were in the air after 4.15 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

At that time they reported they believed they were about fifty miles north of San Francisco. Wall Returns to Duty And Soon Makes Arrest International News Service UNIONTOWN, July detective John C.
