THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, YSTEROUS RADID 5 NATTERN CLUE North Pacific Stations Listen In for Explanation of S 0 S Call. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, Wash., June 23.—Power- ful wireless stations of the North Pa- eific “listened in” today for an ex- Pplanation of a mysterious call in which the signals for “SOS” and “airplane’ were heard yesterday. With Jimmy Mattern, missing round- the-world fiyer, sought off the Siberian coast, the almost unintelligible message, sent in Russian, lent hope that it might bring word about him. It was heard here by Ed Stevens, amateur operator, and by a naval radio operator at Brem- erton who was off duty. Stevens said it apparently was sent from some Russian ship. He distin- guished the call letters RMAZ, with | Whom, he said, the sender was trying fo communicate. Station RMAZ is in Vladivostok. The naval operator, however. who heard the message on his home set, said it sounded as though it came from | RMAZ or RMAP, another Siberian | station farther north up the coast | Both agreed the signals were so faint and the static so bad they could not decipher the Russian message. They both distinguished the words “airplane” end “SOS." | Naval and Coast Guard stations, as well as ships in the Pacific, listened throughout last night for further mes- es. Mattern is now missing the ninth iday since he took off from Khabarovsk, gibem, a week ago last Wednesday at :30 pm. (Eastern standard time), for Nome, Alaska, 2,500 miles away. It was pointed out here that too rong hopes should not be raised by e mysterious message, as the Russian sender might have been merely relaying | orders issued by the Soviet government two days ago, to aid in the Mattern | search, | | Stock Broker Expires.

One of the first objectives of the new Federal war on racketeers, accord- ing to Attorney General Cummings, will be to learn where gangsters obtain ma- chine guns. Cummings called the slaying of a Justice Department agent and four other officers last week at Kansas City “a challenge to American civilizatio “I do not expect to solve the que tion by magic,” Cummings said. ‘Wi must proceed slowly. I hope to ad- vance to the solution of it. “We have got to win that war. We shall.” He said various plans were being considered for a Nation-wide drive | against criminals and that an agree- | torney, ment might be worked out with State authorities which would make it more effective. The Attorney General ex- pressed the belief that the criminal confronted with the combined police powers of the Nation and 48 States would find himself in a net from which there would be no escape.
