The aviatrix and her navigator, Frederick J. Noonan, disappeared July 2, presumably within a short distance of Howland island, their goal on a 2,570 mile flight from New Guinea.

Arrest Strike Leader Only the arrest of John Smith, strike picket whom Sheriff Fred An- strom said was using vile and obscene language, marred peaceful resumption of work at the two. plants. About 15 policemen, four of whom were doing special duty, and four deputy sher- iffs, two of whom were specially sworn in, kept a close eye on the actions of an orderly but noisy crowd of approx- imately 100 pickets which milled about outside the two plants. Smith was held in the Burleigh county jail’ Monday without charge. Arrested here once before on a charge of ‘disorderly conduct, Smith was then given a suspended sentence of 30 days in Jail. Threats of fellow pickets that they would come to the jail and “get” Smith were met by Anstrom’s message that he was “ready and waiting for them with a machine gun in perfect work- ing order,” Anstrom said.
