B—6 #x NISS EARART SE FORHONLAND 0P Will Complete Long Flight From New Guinea Few Hours Before Start. By the Assoclated Press. ABOARD UNITED STATES COAST GUARD CUTTER ITASCA AT HOW- LAND ISLAND, June 30.—Amelia Earbart reported today she planned to start tomorrow on the most haz- ardous flight on her leisurely journey around the world. The hop will carry her over 2,570 miles of ocean, from Lae, New Guinea, to Howland Island, Because she crosses the interna- tional date line she will complete the 18 or 20 hour flight a few hours before she starts it. She radioed she will take off at 1:30 pm Thursday, Lae time, and expected to reach her goal between 10 am. and noon Thursday, Howland time. Translated into Eastern stand- ard time, she will begin at 10:30 p.m. today and will land between 4:30 and 6:30 pm. Thursday HEADWIN 5 FOUGHT. Flight From Australia Requires Near- Iy Eight Hours, LAE. New Guinea, June 30 (#).—On our 7 hour and 43 minute trip here from Port Darwin, Australia, our monoplane encountered strong head- winds. We had to fly at a height of more than 11000 feet to surmount the lower clouds, while above us towered cumulus turrets. We threaded our way through shining white valleys and decided that traveling there was better than trying the unknown mountains. We were glad to be able to make our way through it all—strangers in a strange land. Lae is situated in a corner of the gulf by a winding river. It is the headquarters for the Guinea Airways Co., which has made 2n outstanding record for flying passengers and mining equipment into the inacces- sible gold fields. Tons upon tons of the heaviest machinery used in the operations have been transported by their planes. In fact, no other means €xists, and probably without aviation much of the goll would remain undis- covered in “them thar hills.” Considering the terrain and paths, T think the pilots here have done as notable work as any in the world. ‘The landing field is one long strip. Cut out of the jungle, ending abruptly on the cliff at the water's edge. It is 3,000 feet long and firm under all con- ditions. There are hangars, but a number of planes have to be hitched outside. I noticed all these were metal ones. No villages are visible from the air. X should think it would be impossible to find one in the dense growth. Most noticeable on landing were native men with peroxide bleachad hair, the sun-tan effect on their head being striking to a degree. Perhaps the native women also bleach, but as yet I have seen none. Men alone seem to be employed for chores inside and outside their homes. Every one has been as helpful and co-operative as possible—food, hot baths, mechanical service, radio and weather reports, advice from veteran pilots here—all combine to make us wish we could stay. Twenty-two thousand miles have been covered so far. There are 7,000 to go. (Copyright, 1937.) The Air Cooled The new Wondersoft Kotex qAec ~1it's softer, more de- pendable—won't chafe or show.
