FLEET OF PLANES
HUNT LOST LINER
Transport Company Suspends
Travel to Seek Missing Ship
With Eight Aboard.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, September
4.-The Transcontinental Air Transport
Co. today suspended air travel on it's
line between Waynoka, Okla, and
Winslow, Ariz., to place all planes at
Waynoka, Clovis and Winslow in the
search for the T. A. T. liner City Of
San Francisco. missing since late yes
terday. Weather conditions were bad
and visibility poor.
The liner, with a crew of three and
five passengers aboard, left Albuquer-
que, N. Mex, at 1922 am. yesterday.
Tried to Dodge Storm.
Last reported over Grants, N. Mex,
the big ship was headed slightly south
OF its usual course, in an apparent ef-
spreading storm area. It was not
heard from again. although T. A. T.
service planes put out from Winslow,
Ariz., and Albuquerque and patrolled
east and west over the route after the
transport had failed to check in at
Winslow.
Transcontinental Air Transport Off
cials in Winslow, who believed Stowe
placed his ship on the ground at
Springerville, Ariz., 1875 miles southeast
of Winslow and 100 miles southwest of
Grants, were disappointed on receipt of
reports that no plane had been seen or
heard there. Springervif1e also had
been in communication with st. John,
Ariz., by means of Government for
estry service line and reported that no
plane had been seen there.
H. w. Beck, Western traffic manager
for T. A. T.. with headquarters in Los
Angeles, expressed belief that Stowe.
veteran airman and one of the highest
rated of T. A. T. pilots, had been forced
to land somewhere south of his route,
due to abnormal consumption OF fuel in
battling the storm. Lack OF reports,
Beck believed, was due to the inability
of Stowe, Assistant Pilot A, e. Dietel,
or Courier G. F. Garfield. the other crew
members, to reach telegraph or telephone
lines. T. A. T. officials in Los Angeles
and Winslow we're not inclined to dis
cuss the possibility of the liner being
in serious difficulty.
Passenger Knows Country.
The passengers had another safeguard
in the presence aboard of A. B. Nc
Gaffey of Albuquerque, who formerly
owned much timberland in the region
traversed by the ship. Ohlcials in AL
buquerque were confident that Nc
Gaffey, in the event of landing, would
be able to guide the passengers and crew
to shelter.
other passengers aboard the plane, in
addition to McGaffey, were Mrs. j. B.
Raymond of Glendale, Calf; William
H. Beers of New York. M. N. Campbell
of Cincinnati and Harris Livermore OF
Boston.
