EATBART SN ARERELAVED HERE Coast Guard Headguarters on Alert—Four Work Around Clock. B the Associated Press. Radiomen and officers who have ridden high seas in search of boats in distress now hover constantly over telegraph machines at Coast Guard headquarters, waiting for word from thelr fellows on the cutter Itasca, heading the Earhart hunt From the weary searchers in the South Seas, from anxious watchers in | San Francisco and from radiomen | keyed to catch faint words on the pow- erful receivers of nearby Fort Hunt, come cryptic reports at intervals. ‘These go to high officials who hold final direction of the search—Secre- tary Morgenthau, Rear Admiral Waesche and Navy officials. Some one Wwants the exact location of the Navy battleship Colorado. Some one wants the State Department to ask the aid of a British boat. +«Four Work Around Clock. ‘Tearing off the latest news frem the | searching Guardsmen in the South Beas and typing out requests and or- ders to be flashed across the country, four men work in shifts around the clock.

P. Wirephoto. Howland was heard at 7:12 am, East-| ern Standard Time yesterday. | It was fragmantary, faint, and partly blotted out with static.

Searching agencies interpreted the message—if it came from the missing couple—as indicating various things, | that the plane was sinking, that radio | transmission was failing because of | weakening batteries, that the plane | was floating, and that gasoline neces- sary to turn the right motor and fur- nish electricity was near exhaustion, As the Itasca veered its course to race to the position it radioed here “Official information indicates that | Earhart is down 281 miles north of | Howland.” The speedy little vessel reached the area about 7 o'clock last night, and Coast Guard authorities in San Fran- cisco estimated she was about 30 min- utes ahead of the slower Swan, | plowing southward. The British freighter Moorby, en route from Victoria, British Columbia, | to Sydney, Australia, turned from its course to join the search, but was not expected to reach the precise position given before 8:30 a.m. (Eastern stand- | ard time) | Japan instructed all its ship and | shore radio operators to keep watch | for possible new clues, and Putnam said he had received, through the | newspaper Nichi Nichi, a telephoned | offer to the Japanese government to | assign warships to the hunt. He said acceptance or rejection of that offer | would be left up to the United States naval authorities, | Additional international action | would be necessary, the State De- partment advised, if Putnam's theory of his wife's whereabouts is to be checked. The Phoenix Islands are British, and the State Department informed Coast Guard officials it would await the result of the search north of Howland before enlisting that government's aid. | From today's focus the search was expected to spread if necessary, into a general survey of the whole South | Pacific area adjacent to the route plotted by Miss Earhart on her 2.570- | mile flight from Lae, New Guinea, to Howland. Putnam and Mrs. Noonan, bride of the missing navigator, kept constant vigil as the hours passed without definite word. The motion picture executive spent last night at the Coast Guard radio station in San Francisco, Mrs. Noonan | was cared for by friends in Oakland, Calif,, her home. COLORADO’S PLANES WAIT.

The question arose when Prince Ourusoff, preparatory to a trip abroad, applied at the State Department for a_passport. His use of the name “Prince” was questioned. and the State | Department queried the Naturalization | Bureau, which, in turn, laid the mat- ter before the court. The passport finally was issued, but | without the name *Prince.” A State Department official explain- | ed that when an individual is natural- | ized, he renounces allegiance to every “foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty,” and also all title ac- quired from such sources. Since American citizens cannot have titles, they are not allowed on passports of | Americans. Even though “Prince,” in this case, was not a title. it sounded like one and was kept off the passport for that reason. Prince Ourusoff was born December 9, 1901, in Rome, Italy, where his fa- ther was a diplomatic representative of the Czar. He entered this country March 3. 1926, and on November 16 of the same year announced his in- tention of citizen. At that time he spelled his name | Leonide Ouroussow, and it is carried in that form on his immigration cer- tificate and on his “first papers.” Before long, Prince Ourusoff came Months Straight THOMPSONS DAIRY DECATUR 1400 QUESTIONS nt—every question impor- hesitate if you have the ere you can ask any ques- | er Kenesaw M.
