SOUTHERN CROSS REPORTED FOUND (Continued from First Page) urged by Captain Chater who has been prominent in the search for the missing Southern Cross. Cap- tain Chater expressed some skep- ticism as to its authenticity. Relief expeditions compoped of airplanes, launches and native run- ners have been searching for the Southern Cross since Captain Kings- ford-Smith sent out a radio message on March 31st that the airplane was making a forced landing in the wild Australian bush *about 100 miles east of Wyndham Wyndham, western Australia, was tlieir destination on the first lap of a Sydney to London flight in the plane which made the first success- ful crossing of the Pacific ocean, from California to Australia. All search has been hitherto fruitless, Keen anxiety has been felt throughout Australia as to the fate of the aviators, who were short of provisions when they landed in the sparsely settled wilderness near Wyndham. The Drysdale Mission station, which reported their discovery to- day had previously informed air- plane searchers that an airplane had passed in a southwesterly direction over the station on March 31, at about the time the Southern Cross should have been in that neighbor- hood.

Such ordinances require the greatest care in drafting to make them really ef- fective. “In a department which handles s0 much work of an extremely con- troversial nature very much depends on the personality of the men and women in the executive branches. The utmost care should be exerted in their choice since they can easily make or break the department. “Very sincerely yours, “RICHARD W.

Added impetus was, given the search after a report to Chief Park- s office yesterday by Ralph Corlis, ©of Manahawkin, that he and his brother and the latter's wife had seen a plane plunge into the swamp on the day that the Rochester man's plane disappeared, carrying with it Finucane and three companions Corlis is a boatman on Barnegat Buay, and his reason for not report- ing the strange happening before yesterday, he said, was that he had not heard of the disappearance of the aircraft until then. Those aboard the plane at the tinie of its disappearance in addi- tion to the owner were: Harry Smith, of Miami, pilot; Robert B . of Portland, Me., and Frank of Mineola, 1. I, mechanics.

To | | the best of my knowledge there has | been no friction between this de- | | partment and any other for a per- iod of several years.
