CLUES EXHAUSTED INPLANE SEARCH Company Offers $1,006 _for Trace of Transport With Seven Aboard. BULLETIN, SPOKANE, Wash., December 21 (#).—A National Guard pilot ad- vised Felts Field by radio today that he had sighted what he be- lieved to be wreckage of the missing Northwest Airlines trans- port plane near Calder, Idaho.". A pilot and co-pilot were aboard the airship when it disappeared early Friday. The brief message said only that he had found the ship, and that he could not determine whether Pilot Joe Livermore and Co-Pilot Arthur A. Maid were alive. BY the Assoclated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, December 21. ~—The Wintry West locked the fate of nine missing persons in its cold and snow today as Western Air Ex- press officials, posting a $1,000 reward, announced a search “on our own” for one of two planes seven days after it disappeared. Admitting “every clue exhausted” the officials offered the reward, ef- fective until noon, January 4, for dis- covery of the Los Angeles-Salt Lake transport, lost with five inen and two | women since Tuesday. The ship, last reported over Mil- ford, in Southwestern Utah, is sought in that vicinity and northward and East Central Nevada. Five hundred miles Northwest Ranger M. T. Olmsted turned the hunt to a new sector in North Idaho for Pilot Joe ‘Livermore, Co-pilot A. A. Haid and their Northwest airlines transport, missing since Friday. Last Report Over Idaho. Livermore made his last radio report over Elk River, Idaho. The search had centered between there and Spokane. Qlmsted said, however, the transport flew low over the forest service station at Calder, 40 miles north of Elk River, Friday, then turned west toward Spokane. Similar reports by three other Calder residents prompted extension of the land and air search to the Calder region today. But Pilot Roy Shreck, saying the new lead. One thousand C. C.

They were part of 8200 men placed at disposal of airline officials by Brig. Gen, Walter C. Sweeney, com- | mander of Fort Deuglns near Salt Lake City. A dozen planes continued an aerial search. “We have exhausted every clue, and | how we are going to work on our own estimate cf what Pilot Samson may | have done,” Allan Barrie, company Vice president, said. Messages “Amateur Calls.” “‘We believe now the miessages heard here, at Kingman, Arig, and at Las Vegas, Nev., Saturday was merely some amateur callmg ‘George at Salt Lake,' not ‘St. George, Utah, or Salt Laie,’” Barrie explained. In Utah, reported “lights” turned | out to be welding operations along a railroad. In Western Nevada Pilot Ralph Hall, after checking reports of “desert flares,” doubted the plane had reached thst region. FOU\D. fADY'S POCKETBOOK;: con lnr‘ earrings.

At the top of a straight flight of stairs you find ycurself in a large L-| shaped living room which occupies cocktail alcove at the back of the stair well. This alcove was the only room | in the house which appeared stiff, and as a consequence, unused. Friends, books and homes are the essential keynotes to those who pos- sess them. Wallis Simpson's living room was & true index to its chate- laine, Dieu et mon droit. That was the motto on a solid gold inkwell standing on an antique boule ! It means “God and my right.” It is the motto of English sovereigns and was chosen by Rich- ard I as his password in the battle | of Gisors in 1198. Perhaps it has an added significance now. The whole room, curtairs, carpets, woodwork and walls, is done in French green, a green with a bluish cast. There is a full grand piano (she plays it fairly well). There is a beau- tiful antique walnut secretary as the The fireplace, fed with coal from a brass- | at the end of the L. Three windows look out upon the park.

And by the door, shielding the far end of the room, is an antique Chinese screen of gold and silver lacquer, de- picting a woodland rendezvous of graceful deer. Exquisite is the only word that could describe the final appointments of this room. Rare pieces of jade are advantageously placed. On the table at your elbow is an invaluable snuff box containing your cigarettes and a French wine taster to receive your ashes. The seven lamps in the room are shaded in rosy vellum. Books, beautifully bound in hand- tooled leather, are casually available. And then there are the flowers.

On the walls of the dressing room hang simply framed photographs of Edward VIII in various phases of his pre-regal career—in groups, in single studies, in | uniform and in mufti. The fourth floor is a simplified ver- sion of the third, and it is thence that Aunt Bessie has climbed with moans and grumbles ever since she came to England to chaperon her favorite niece. This is the picture of Wallis Simp- son’s home. It is dismantled now. And as my mind runs back over it, it dwells upon a miniature of Wallis Simpson—slim and dark and enigmatic—that stood on a table beside the liying room chair in which the King was wont to sit. I wonder where it is now. (Copyright, 1936, World Rights.) PRESIDENT® TO RECEIVE GREETING FROM SCOUTS | Messages to Be Delivered Before | Christmas Tree Is Lighted in Lafayette Park.

BY the Associated Press. SELSEY, England, December 21— Mme. Marie Schemeder, sought by French police for shooting her co- pilot during a flight over Villacoublay yesterday, was ordered held on a technical charge today after crashing her plane in a Sussex field. British authorities detained the woman fiyer, wife of a wealthy French machine manufacturer, after French police reported a warrant for her ar- rest had been issued at Versailles. Mme. Schemeder fled from France in the same plane in which she was alleged to have shot Plerre L’Alle- mant, her co-pilot, during a flight Sunday morning. Several hours later, after the trans- channel trip, she brought her ship down in a Sussex fleld, damaging the plane in the landing. Slightly dazed by a cut in the head, she told English officials her name was Chappelut, al- though she carried no passport. British authorities said they were advised by French police Mine. Schemeder had shpt L'Allemant in the back of the head while he was making his first flight at the controls of the plane owned jointly by the two fiyers. He told French police he managed to land the ship after the assault, crawled out of the plane and left Mme. Schemeder inside. She immediately took off for an un- which ended with the crash in Sussex. Mme. Schemeder was under official; observation at a farm house near| Selsey, where doctors kept her in bed| as.she recovered from shock. “She is not seriously ill" | stable explained, “but it is advisable that she remain in bed. “She has talked by telephone with friends in Paris.

No tree was planned for the small household and the Rogerses, Mrs.| Simpson and Mrs. D. B. Merryman, | her “Aunt Bessie,” will have a quiet | family Christmas party. Mrs, Simpson, composed and seem- in excellent spirit, seemed amused at some of the reports of her‘ comings and goings and when the | group broke up, teasingly announced: “Perhaps you would be interested this afternoon.” ‘Welcomes Correspondents. Mrs. Simpson, escorted by Mrs. Rogers, stepped into the gardens and welcomed each visitor with a warm greeting and a firm handclasp. Her callers were presented by Rogers. She seemed to be in excellent health and spirits and completely composed. Her only sign of nervousness was an occasional daubing of her lips with her handkerchief. She proved to be a witty conversa- tionalist and a good listener. When she asked courteous questions con- cerning her guests, as she did fre- quently, she waited for the answers as though intensely interested. Her costume was an agreeable com- bination of blues and browns. She | wore a tight-fitting sky-blue sport | brown plaid jacket over a deep-blue pullover sweater. | Her alligator skin oxfords had me- | dium height walking heels. A brooch she wore at the neck of her sweater resembled the three- feathered insignia of former King Ed- ward when he was the Prince of Wales. It was an arrangement of al- ternating light and dark-blue petals | and was complemented by earrings to | match. She wore one broad ring covered EMBER 21, 1936. with sparkling stones and a gold- chain bracelet, from which dangled :xx little emerald and amethyst H:r llpu were scarlet, but her nails were not tinted. Seems Demure at Times. Throughout most of the conversa- tion Mrs, Simpson remained standing, first under an orange tree and then along the vine-covered wall of the terrace which leads down to the sea. Mrs. Simpson, slim and small, seemed very demure at times. woman who shook an empire exhibited as much curiosity on what was going on outside the villa as the neighbor- hood has shown for what was taking place inside, Her manner of speech shows no dis- tinguishable accent, although it is more American than British and more Southern than Northern. Not what she says, but the way she speaks, contributes most to her charm. In the same way it is her graceful carriage more than her figure and her smile more than her features which convey her beauty, DROPS FLAGS NEAR EDWARD World War Flyer Reveals He Piloted Plane Over Castle. ENZESFELD, Austria, December 21 {P)—Julius Arigi, Austrian World War ace, disclosed today it was he who piloted the plane which flew over | Edward, Duke of Windsor, Sunday and dropped flags all about the grounds of the castle of Baron de Rothschild. “I dropped Austrian, British and the Rothschild family flags as a token of a soldier’s affection for this sympa- thetic former ruler,” sald the aviator, adding that police had dissuaded him from his plan to drop a great wreath as near Edward as possible. ‘The wreath just might hit the Duke, Arigi said the police pointed out. Workers and peasants hereabouts are in many little ways trying to show Edward they approve of him. Some send him simple gifts and poems. Others send fresh trout, be- cause they have been told Edward likes nothing better. It was learned the former King of England dined on trout Sunday night when the British Minister Walford was one of the castle guests. Later, Edward and his hostess, the Baroness Rothschild drank a quantity of “bruderschaft,” an Austrian ritual wherein the drinkers pledge everlast- ing friendship to each other. Unconfirmed but persistent reports ¢irculated that Edward’s marriage to Wallis Warfield Simpson had been discussed by Austrian authorities on the presumption it would be held in Salzburg or vxenm in June.
