Five naval officers from the Far East. experts in mathematics and skilled sea- men, are now in Washington, as guests of the United States Government, to obtain an insight into American naval methods. Two of them are officers of the Royal Siamese Navy, while the cthers are officers in the Chinese Navy. The Siamese officers, Lieuts. L. Subhi and L. Joladhan Brudhikrai, are at present undergoing instruction in the Hydrographic Office, at the Navy De- partment, learning how that branch of the Amerioan naval service renders in- valuable aid to shipping. Later, it is planned, they will undergo a course at the Bureau of Standards, the Govern- ment Printing Office and other related branches of the American Government. Capt. C. S. Kempft, U. 8.

C, MARCH 16, DENY LOST PLANE - HAD MONEY ABOARD Postal Authorities Scout| Theory Ship- Piloted by Graham Was Robbed. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, March.15.—Denial by postal authorities that a large sum | of money and securities was Cnrrlflli aboard the airmail plane piloted by | Maurice Graham, who has been missing since January 10, put a damper today | on speculation that the plane may have | been looted after crashing in the Bad | Lands of Nevada. | Reports that the cargo included m,o&’ in currency and about & quarter | million dollars’ worth of securities re-| newed interest in the search for the| lost ship and its pilot after Western Air Express officials had admitted the possibility that the wrecked plane may have been found and destroyed after the malil sacks had been robbed. ‘The theory that evidence of the crash buried by looters, however, found no support in official quarters. Assistant Postmaster General Glover, in charge of the airmail at Washing- ton, sald no large amount of ‘currency or securities was shipped on the plane. He added that postal inspectors had found no evidence bearing out the rob- bery theory. J. C. Lindland, chief postal inspector for the San Francisca djstrict, expressed the belief that Grahdm's plane fell in some obscure place and that it had been covered by drifting snow. | Lindland said he felt sure there had been no large amount of money aboard the plane and he added his informa- tion was borne out by the fact that no | patrons of the airmall service had re- | ported the loss of money following the disappearance of the piane. Any missing securities, the postal! inspector said, could be duplicated with- | out loss to the senders. Officials of the Western Air Express, owners of the plane, announced that for the present no added measures are contemplated in prosecuting the search. The company directed a concentrated hunt for weeks without success. Flyers on the Los Angeles-Salt Lake airmail route, which Graham was traveling when he was lost in a storm, still are on the lookout for the wreckage. Mrs. Juanita Burns, a flyer, who re- cently assisted in locating in the San Fernandino Mountains a wrecked trans- port plane and its three dead occupants, went to Las Vegas, Nev. several days ago to make plans for an independent hunt for the lost fiyers. Hundreds of fur‘experts-from many | parts of the world are expected to at- tend the World Congress at Leip- zig, Germany, next June. 1930—PART ONE. A—1r: COL.
