B—6 ARLINEPONEES FRECTRADIO BASE Complete Station at Hono- lulu in Three Days—Select Landing Site. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. By Radio to The Star. ABOARD S. 5. NORTH HAVEN, April 9.—After clearing Honolulu Harbor Sunday night, the North Haven began the long trek across the Pacific to establish bases for the Pan- American Airways’ clipper plane serv- ice to connect the United States and Asia. Until it reaches Guam, some time toward the end of May, the expedi- tion will be aut off from the rest of the world, except for radio and cable eommunication, while at the lone- some islands of Midway and Wake. Erect Radio Station. During the three days in Honolulu, the company's engineers and me- chanics erected and put into opera- | tion a radio station—a requirement that normally would take as many | weeks or more. This was due partly | to enthusiastic Hawaiian co-operation. Other company engineers inspected the best available sites near Honolulu for plane landing on the opposite side of Oahu Island from Mokaput Point, | where the radio station is located in | the shadow of the extinct Oloupau crater. i The first post-hole dug brought up | human bones and a skull split by a | battle ax. Not wanting to disturb | what evidently was a tribal burying | ground, and also mindful that avia- | tors might be superstitious about re- | ceiving navigating instructions from | & cemetery site. we moved a hundred | yards farther along the high cliffs. Must Blast Reefs. Leaders of the expedition were as- | sured by the few human beings who | already had been to Wake Island that | they must blast out the coral reefs before they would be able to enter the lagoon. Also that, because of the | steep sides of the little island, the North Haven would be unable to| anchor offshore but must cruise back and forth the entire fortnight or| longer while the cargo was unloaded and construction started. | In addition to the 13 white artisans, | 13 American Chinese have been added to the expedition, these to act as per- | manent cooks, laundrymen and gar- | deners on the islands. Each had to| pass a test of his particular trade, get | a certificate of moral character and | Americanism from proper authorities | and go through physical and medical | examinations. Only one-fourth of those examined were able to pass the | rigid t (Copyrigh N 955, by North American paper Alliance.

CHICAGO, April 9.—Anybody look- ing for a good bodyguard might do well to get into touch with a “triple- threat” girl—Miss Helen Fortney, who professes to be able to shoot, punch or grapple with equal ferocity. | For Helen, who is 20 years old, stands 5 feet 5 inches high, and weighs 138, has come to the big city of Chi- cago from Wisconsin to pursue her career as a bodyguard, determined to carry on the Napoleonic maxim that “attack is the best defense.” After being graduated from high | #chool she tried a job as a waitress, but in her spare time began getting into | condition for her intended career by | wrestling, boxing, rowing, putting the | #hot and tramping through the woods with a shotgun. | “The only kind of a gun I haven't tried yet,” she said, “is a machine gun, and so far I haven't needed one.

LOAN “LEAK” LAID TO OFFICIAL Negotiator for Railroad Unofficial- ly Blamed for Premature News to Wall Street. By the Associated Press. A Baltimore & Ohio Railroad official who had been negotiating for a Re- construction Finance loan for his rail- road, was unofficially blamed yester- day for the “leak” that resulted in premature word to Wall Street on twe rail loans. ‘The Interstate Commerce Commis~ sicn did not announce its decision to grant the loans to the B. & O. and the New York Central until yesterday, although the news was current in the New York financial quarters Saturday afternoon. The Finance Division of the com- mission, it developed acted on both loans after 1 o'clock Saturday, their regular closing hour for the week end. Information was at once sent to the STAR, R. F. C, as one of the loans was needed yesterday. Commission officials at first e pressed the belief that R. F.
