 \ bit of Wayc-tosSed black and orange wreckage reported found in the North Atlantic ocean brought apparent Verification today that an- other flight had failed, for a time but later the whole story collapsed.
 The rumor said that by ship-radio relay from the steamer Kyle came word that an unidentified steamer had found a bit of wreckage float ing in the sea along the path that Urban Diteman, Jr., Montana cattle man. had taken toward London in his little monoplane the "Golden l'ind.' The wreckage was painted black and orange. So was Diteman's s plane. The story was false and no Hreckage was found.
 Heading out into foggy day from lIarbor Grace, N. F.. As hours ago, .at 10:45 a. m., r.. s. T. today Ditc- man was still unreported.
 No Direct Word
 Nc direct word had been received by the Cunard Line from the s. & Scythia, one of it's fleet, but flying men at first saw in the unconfirmed report standardization TOT their fears, fears which had been uppermost since word came of Ditcman's sur prise takeoff.
 With only two years and a half oi casual flying, probably little of it in fog which requires special training in that the flier must operate hL; plane by instruments instead of by sight. flying men had held little hope that Diteman would win through to Croydon Airdrome, London, his ob- jcctive.
