flight from Kauai. an island of the
Hawaiian group. TO Suva.
To Be Busy Day
There were many things to be
done; checking Of the gasoline sup
ply remaining in the fuel tanks of
the Southern Cross: location Of a
site from which the refueled plane
can take off safely for its flight
over the sea toward Australia; exam
instion of the three motors that Ia
bored faithfully through miles and
storms. and to study weather charts
and maps to decide the time and
course of the shortest but perhaps
the most hazardous leg Of the un-
precedented flight.
Captain Charles Kingsford- Smith,
Australian pilot: Charles Ulm, Aus
tralian co-pilot; Harry W. Lyon.
former sea skipper and navigator and
James Warner. radio operator, were
regarded as quite important person

jects of admiration nv all from the
bushy haired native Fijians to the
white inhabitants. The four men
who flew in from the sea yesterday

that he intended looking over a
stretch of beach near the CITY n

unanimous in agreeing that each

ITALIA'S RADIO
HEARD AGAIN
Russia to Send Party
To Search Franz
Josef Land

MOSCOW, Russia, June 5.-CPy-
The soviet meteorological station in
Siberia reported today that il had
picked up what was believed to be an
SOS from the missing dirigible
Italia, but that the location cousd not
be secured.
Two other Siberian stations. SOB
and PUR, reported hearing the same
call.
MOSCOW, June 5.-tPl-The soviet
rescue commission, which is planning
to send an expedition to Franz Josef
land to seek the missing dirigible
Italia, was further convinced today
that General Mobile had descended al
that place by reports Of new wireless
messages picked up as late as 1856
last night thought to be directly from
the Italia.
Adyices received from Murmansk
today said that a message from the
Italia announcing her descent on
Frank Josef land had been picked up
by the wireless station at Obdorsk
Tobolsn, Siberia.
The trawler Loutchinski off the
Murman coast, also reported hearing
calls believed 10 be from the Italia
but that she was unable TO pick up
actual communication because Of at
mospheric interference.
KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, June 5
-CPl-Reports from Russia that
wireless messages had been picked
up from the dirigible Italia stating
that she had landed on Frank josef
land are meeting with much skepti-
cism among the searchers at Kings
Bay.
The theory supported by Lieut..
Luetozw Holm, Norwegian flyer who
is now enroute TO North Spitzbergen
to take up the search from the air, Is
that the Italia descended on the polar
ice north of Spit=bergen and that
there was very little chance she was
blown to Frank Josef land.
