SYDNEY, New South Wales, April 4
P).-Australians look to native runners
as offering the greatest prospect Of find-
ing Capt. Charles Kingsford-Smith and
his three flying companions Of the
Southern Cross, missing somewhere east
of Wyndham since Sunday.
It Is feared that airplanes now en-
gagged In the search for the men have
little chance of sighting the missing
men In the wild country where they are
supposed TO be lost, particularly II the
rain persists.
The runners are capable Of covering
about SO miles day and are able to
go where white men scarcely could
penetrate. They have, too, Q cunning
means Of transmitting news by signals
which might be invaluable In their
quest.

Five machines had made preparations
to start today looking for the four men.
One Of them was to carry doctor and
food and medical supplies.

Meanwhile it was assumed Capt.
Kingsford-Smith and his companions,
If not injured in landing and able to
get food-and barring other contingen-
cies-were trying to reach civilization.
Kingsford-Smith has some knowledge
Of the country and the party had charts
and navigation instruments They also
possessed pistols. with . supply Of am
munition, enabling them to kill game
for food II they encountered any.
Il Is feared, however. there may be
some danger from natives. many Of
whom are savages. In such case they
might have to fight for their lives.

Mr.. Curtis is represented as more
concerned with upholding the recogni-

Secretary Stlnason said today he had

situation.
Vice President Curtis had indicated
to him there was no hurry about the
