Naval Planes at
Disposal of Press
I'm Flood Sections

Specific instructions have been
sent to the commandant of the
naval air station at Pensacola,
Florida, to place planes in the
flooded areas adjacent to the Mis-
sissippi River for the use of news
paper correspondents. In this con-
nection Secretary Wilbur has lifted
the prohibition against women rid
ing in Navy planes. The action
was taken in response to the fol-
lowing request from Secretary
Hoover:
I'm order that there may be
proper national appreciation of our
problem, we need to give newspaper
correspondents, both men and
women, an opportunity to see the
flood from the air for few hours
each. Can you direct that naval
plane, under Col. Splading's direc-
ton, be used for this purpose, waiv-
ing the regulation barring women
from riding in Navy planes?'

Experts emphasize, however, that

object and low in the water, would be

The French are trying TO Keep up

declarations that hope has not been

Indicating that the flyers are really
mourned as lost.
There was a mOmentary Hare OF
hope this morning, when a report OF

quickly discredited by cables from
New York.

pers and the people in conversation.
Refuse to Give Up Hope.
While no one will admit that hope
is lost, there are many pessimistic
opinions. Experts agree that the
White Bird might have Jared badly If
forced down early. before the tremen-
dous load was lightened by the con-
sumption of gasoline. 1t is considered
that the plane would have sunk if it
landed in the English Channel or off
Ireland.
The experts say it would be i'm
possible in that case to empty the
tanks quickly enough with the small
pump to make them buoyant. If, how
ever, the plane was forced down half
way across the Atlantic the consump.
tion of fuel would have partly emptied
the tanks and kept the machine afioat.
Pierre Levasseur, builder of the
White Bird, says he advised the avia-
tors to jump with their parachutes if
the plane was likely TO descend nose
first, as it might burst into flames.
The greatest hope is that some of
the early reports of the sighting of
the plane off Newfoundland may have
been correct and that it is still float
ing on the Atlantic awaiting rescue,
or descended at some remote spot
along the coast.

two days, it was due to atmospheric
disturbances, not to any ommission

the shoulders. The skin was appar-

generous application Of Ointment,
