FLINT, Mich., August 18.—En- thusiasm of home-town friends and relatives of Miss Mildred Doran, pas- senger with “Auggy” Pedlar in the transoceanic plane, who waited ex- pectantly for favorable news yester- day, had given away to tense anxfety today when the plane had failed to arrive at its destination, Honolulu. Newspaper offices were besieged with telephone calls last night and extras issued at intervals were eager- Iy scanned for news of the missing fivers. Crowds kept watch until late last night in front of newspaper bul- letin boards. Miss Doran's brother William, 25 years old, a law student at the Uni- versity of Cincinnati, who appeared at one newspaper office early Wed- nesday morning after a sleepless night, was still at his post today hol- low-eyed from worry and loss of sleep. Young Doran kept in constant tele- phone communication with other members of the family. Friends recalled that just before departing for San Francisco to par- ticipate in the flight Miss Doran re. marked: “I feel sure we will win, but if we don’t—well, life is just a game of chance anyway.” Oéen at 8:30 AM.

Columbia THE EVEN REPORTED SLIGHT Navy Hydrographer Says Weather Will Not Menace Missing Crews. By the Associated Pross. Optimism concerning sea and air conditions facing the missing Dole flight aviators was expressed early today by Lfeut. Earl Kincaid, Navy hydrographer, who checked flying con- ditions for all the sransatlantic flights. Fram latest reports, he said, the favorable weather that prevailed be- fore the race began should be still unchanged; the surface of the water should be disturbed only by big, even swells, with but an occasional white cap; prevailing winds should be mild, and any rain that might be encoun- tered, would be a straight downpour from a passing ¢ ud. Sees Small Hazards. Under these circumstances, he con- tinued, no difficulty should be encoun- tered in navigating the rubber life radts with which the planes were equipped, although they might be a source of some discomfort for occu- pants unaccustomed to the sea. Basing his conclusion on the condi- tions he had outlined, Lieut. Kincald attributed the failure of the flyers to reach Honolulu to either motor trouble or mistakes in navigation. It should be remembered, he said, that Comdr. John Rodgers and his islands, declared they never had a thought of mot being rescued. He added, however, that the Dole flight aviators were not the seamen that Rodgers and his crew were. Conquest again of the vast expanse of water brought forth expressions of praise in the Capital for the crews of the Dole flight planes who success- tully navigated the long sea route. To Congratulate Flyers. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Robinson announced he proposed to write a congratulatory letter to Lieut. Willlam V. Davis, young naval officer who served as navigator for Art Goebel, pilot of the Woolaroc, the winning plane. Admiral Edward W. Eberle, chief of naval operations, and Rear 'Admiral Willlam A. Moffett, chief of the Naval Air Service, both’ said the aviators were to be congratulated on their |, creditable performance. The two officers likewise expressed satisfaction over the working of the radio beacon signal, Admiral Moffett particularly emphasizing his pleasure over reports reaching here of the per- formance of the new air compass. A damper was cast over this en- thuslasm, however, as each hour added to the anxiety felt here over the safety of the other flyers, now long overdue at the Honolulu airport.
