the Bethelhem Ship Building Cor

Boveri Electric Corporation of New
port News, ship building and dry
dock corporations, each of which is
now building cruisers for the
American navy, were called upon
by President Hoover to state their
side of the case in reply to allega
tions made by Shearer in a suit he
filed in the New York Supreme

salary and expenses during, before
and after the Geneva conference.
It was discovered he had directed
Attorney General Mitchell to con
sider “What action we can take”.

ferent situation from that which
I is purported in this suit we are
compelled to consider what meas
ures can be proposed to free the
country from such influences.”

James Shooks, a section foreman.
Shooks was uncertain whether
the plane had landed but remem
bered the sound of motors failing.
Shooks had been away from civili

saw newspaper accounts of the ac
cident yesterday.
A rumor from Mexico sent two
newspapermen into the border
country of Chihuahua where a
strange airplane was reported seen
on Tuesday. This was about 200
miles south of the place where the
liner was last seen on its flight to
wards Winslow.
After covering a wide area the
newspapermen were unable to find
any trace of the liner but are still
! hunting. Colonel Lindbergh and
his wife passed over Waynoka,
Okla., early today enroute to Win
:slow to aid in the search.
Colonel Lindbergh borrowed a
fast speedster plane from Frank
Hawks, holder of the east to west

at New York and flew westward at
top speed. Dale Jackson, St. Louis
endurance flier, is also speeding
westward enroute to Winslow to
