PASSENGERS 5 DAYS

Willi Missing Airplane. Dozen Planes
Of Other Companies Still On Search
(By The Associated Press')
FAIRBANKS, Aug. 23—Art Hines’ vanished airplane
is being sought by a growing swarm of other ships, which
swept along mountain sides and explored dark valleys be
tween Dawson, Yukon Territory and Fairbanks, Alaska. i
Today is the fifth day since Hines, breasting foul wea
ther took off from Dawson with Mr. and Mrs. John Lonz,
newly married, and Alton Nordale, Clerk of the U. S. Dis
trict Court at Fairbanks, and disappeared near the Alaska
Yukon boundary.
Five planes started the search Wednesday after Hines
failed to arrive here and another plane joined the next day
and three more were engaged today in the search.
The pilots of search planes followed valleys and traced
streams for many miles on opposite sides of the route. They j
were favored by clear weather and discovered crumbling
cabins, but no signs of the missing plane or passengers.
Additional supplies for searching planes were carried
to Tanana Crossing by Murray Hall, Territorial Aeronuatics
inspector flying his own ship.
Pilot Jerry Jones of the Pacific Alaska Airways, came
here for gasoline and told of the hunt. “We flew along
every stream of importance in the region, with the weather
clear, but found not a sign of the bright orange wings of
Ilines’ plane. We didn’t see a wisp of smoke suggesting
that the party might have landed. The lost ship had aboard
food, rifles and other supplies for use in case of a forced
landing in the wild country surrounding that district,” said
pilot Jones.

UNDATED, Aug. 23—Honored in deatli as a beloved
life, Will Rogers lay in a flower banked funeral crypt at
Forest Lawn Memorial Park, but the real Rogers continues

the greatest farewell tribute ever given to a private citizen.
The body will be taken to Oklahoma for final burial
later in the week.
Kirk O Heather and Rev. J. Whitcomb Broughter, were
deeply affected as they led the service. “I guess God need
ed a good man in a hurry,” Rev. Broughter said, as his voice
broke and tears welled up in his eyes. About three hun
dred were invited and attended the church service.
Wiley Post rested in a crypt at Fairlane Mausoleum in
Oklahoma City today. “He died doing what he wanted to
do,” declared Reverend W. R. White, who led the hour-long
service before a church jammed with sober-faced men and
women.
iN. V. State Polities
Have Effect Nation
Affairs Of Politics
By Byron Price
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington, D. C.)
New York state Democratic poli
tics is in turmoil again, and it is
inevitable that Washington will feel
important repercussions.
For one thing, every President is
especially particular, for obvious
reasons, about retaining what con
trol he can over his party in his
home state. For another thing, New
York's voting strength in national
conventions and in the electoral col
lege is so great that no President
coming up for reelection would want
to disregard local developments
there.
Furthermore, Mr. Roosevelt has
three New Yorkers in his cabinet.
One of them, Postmaster General
Farley, happens to be the Roosevelt
campaign manager and also the Dem
ocratic state chairman. The other
two—Secretaries Morgenthau and
Perkins—never have been especial
ly active in New York politics, but
their cabinet rank makes them fact
ors in whatever readjustment may
take place.
Altogether, it may be taken for
granted that everything affecting the
New York Democratic situation will j
be weighed very carefully in the
highest political precincts in the
national capital.
