SOUGHT BY SCHLEE
Brother of Pilot Confers With
u. S. Official to Find Spot
for Landing.

The safest land plane route across
the Pacific is being sought in survey
undertaken by the Navy Department
in behalf of the round-the-w world flight
Of the Pride of Detroit. according tC
Asst. Secretary of the Navy for Aero
nauticS Warner who made the an
nouncement following a conference
with the brother of Edward f. Schlee,
pilot of the plane.
All possible routes across the Pa
cific are bad for land planes, ac
cording to MIR. Warner. So far the
survey has revealed SchIee's projected
course with a hop from Toxic to Mid
way Islands as the most favorable, he
said, but added that he wouldn't ad
wise the trip unless radio navigation
were assured" He said that he un

available at Midway.
He described all Pacific islands on
the Asia to America route as very
small and to be reached against pre-
vailing contrary winds Wake Island
he said, was at most one mile wide
and Midway Island one and q half, with
the former useless for land planes, due
to its being completely oyergrown with
brush, and the latter, however. with
a sandy run that might be used.
The only possibility, Warner said
would be to negotiate the 2,400-mile
hop from Toxic to the sandy run on
Midway Island, relying upon the ra.
dio beacon for picking out the pin
point of land in the immensity of the

REDFERN BELIEVED
ALIVE BY FRIENDS
Wife and Father Express
Confidence That Flyer
Will Be Found.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, September q
Repeated disappointments in the wake
of groundless rumors concerning the
fate of Paul Redfern, missing Geor
gia airman, have failed to dim the
hope of the populace here that the
flyer will be found alive within the
next few days.
Despite the fact the whereabouts of
Redfern was unknown after more
tnan a week of silence since he hoped
from this city last Thursday noon
bound for Rio de Janeiro, the belief
prevailed here that reports of an un-
identified plane sighted in Venezuela
indicated strongly that the aviator
reached the Southern continent.
Intended to Drop Flares.
The latest disappointment came
yesterday with official denial of a re-
port from Para, Brazil, that Redfern's S
plane had fallen in the vicinity of
AIemquer. on the northern bank of the
Amazon River. approximately 800
miles west of Macapa, at which point
the flyer intended to drop flares indi-
eating whether he would fly onward to
Rio or cut short his journey from
lack of fuel or another reason and
head toward Pernambuco.
Advces stating that the Alemquer
report was groundless prompted the
Governor of Para to instruct authori-
ties in the interior to continue the
search. Officials in Brazil contend
that it seemed improbable that Red
fern would have had insufficient gaso-
line to reach Alemquer if he had made
an uninterrupted flight from the
mouth of the Orinoco River, where a
Venezuelan mail carrier reported
sighting an unidentified plane Satur-

Formed Branch of Agricultural
Department.

Henry c. knight of the University
of West Virginia has been appointed
by Secretary Jardine as chief of the
newly consolidated Bureau of Chemis-
try and Soils of the Department of Ag-
riculture. He is expected to come
here in the next few days to assume
his duties. c. A. Browne, head of the

The new bureau chief is dean of ag-

was said he is regarded as one of the
leaders in experimental work.
The consolidation of the two bu-
reaus was effected July last by a
separation of the regulatory work
from the research work in the old Bu-
reau Of Chemistry. The research
division was combined with the re-
search work of fixed nitrogen and fer

An intensive search continued for

the plane along the Igrape River In

American consul at Para to make
every effort to locate the flyer.

Levine told newspapermen this

weather reports when we go; also
whether news is received of the safe
arrival of the St. Raphael on the other

trip to the east holds good"
Levine has indicated that, If denied
the opportunity of being the first to
