C., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1937. k% A—7 ROVALAR FORE HUNTSDUCHESS Planes From Ten Stations Spread Out in Search for Lost Aviatrix. BY the Assoclatea Press. LONDON, March 24—A squadron of planes from 10 stations of the Royal Air Force roared off into the dawn today in the most intensive saerial search of many years—the hunt for the flying Duchess of Bedford, who vanished in her plane Monday. They spread a criss-cross web of re- connaissance over the watery meadow- lands in the Fenland country, the Wash, a vast inlet of the North Sea, and even out to sea. Handicapped by a blinding snow- storm and floods, more than 2,000 persons on the ground took part throughout the night in the gigantic effort to find the T7l-year-old air- woman, alive or dead. Friends of the aviatrix disclosed she might have flown to her death in an attempt to realize an ambition to round out her 199 hours of solo fly- ing into an even 200. She planned “a short trip around” of about two hours when she took off. Took Up Aviation at 62. The duchess turned to aviation for a thrill when she was 62. She found them aplenty in the nine ensuing years. She turned the stock yard at stald Woburn Abbey into a landing fleld and did her errands to nearby towns by plane. But her 20,000 miles of flight carried her into the world's far corners, t00. On long-distance hops she usually took along Capt. C. D. Barnard. She was en route from the Canary Islands to Africa three years ago when no- madic Moors fired on her ship, two bullets striking a wing. Earlier on the same flight her en- gine failed and the duchess was forced to land with a “dead stick.” Forced Down in Africa. In 1930 she and Capt. Barnard were forced down in Africa, and the two tramped miles through lion-infested bush country to safety in a native hut. Last Spring she flew 5,500 miles over the Pyrenees to Tangier and back.

BY the Assoclated Press. OLEAN, N. Y, March 24—A tea- spoonful of diluted whisky, admin- istered every 15 minutes, kept *Doll Baby” John Ronald Fox alive in his frdoll's bed last night. Smaller than the hot-water bottle that kept him warm, John Ronald nevertheless tugged mightily at the eye-dropper, from which comes his food. And before each feeding he put up a healthy squall. “It is that lusty squall of his that makes us think he will live,” Dr. Benjamin Van Campen, who deliv- ered him last Thursday, said. “Premature babies usually are list- less and whine and moan, but this one grabs everything in sight. He has good, strong lungs.” John Ronald weighs 1% pounds and 1s about as long as a foot rule. John Ronald was born at home, and his home is his hospital. His “incubator” is the kitchen in his grandfather's house, where he was born. When bath time comes, the stove is fired up and all doors shut. his girl cousin. In this his body lies wrapped in cotton.
