 Without Iessened appreciation of the splendid intentions of those fliers who came to Alaska to assist in the search for Col Ben Eelson and Earl in the knowledge that it was the Territory's own searchers friends of the missing airmen, who made the discovery of the wrecked Eelson monoplane in bleak Siberia The Times has felt all along that the personnel and equipment of the Alaskan Airways could handle the situation if given the opportunity without aid from the States, and the success which has rewarded the persistent efforts of the companys fiers. justfes all the confidence which Alaskans long have placed in them.
 Airmen accept hazards a natural part of the flying game but the Siberian flights of the last several weeks with cold and fog and sudden storms exposing the searchers to constant peril are out standing in the ananls of aviation; they required more than skill at the controls more than willing ness to take chance with the elements in an inhosptable, forbidding region; they demanded the sort of stubborn endurance which has characterized the search from it's start ability to stand up under real Arctic hardship. Aaskans should be proud of their airmen and they are.
 And in paying homage to the brave men who refused to let the darkness of the Far North turn them from their task Alaskans are not unmindful of the grief that is in the hearts of the relatives of the two lost airmen, that they cannot longer give encouragement to the hope their beloved ones will be found alive and safe As long as the search continued there the chance they had escaped disaster; the finding of the wrecked ship in such desolate region with temperature far below zero could mean only one thing. But with the sorrow there will come, at least, an end to the suspense relief from the long period of uncertainty and per haps as the father of Colonel Eelson puts it. the bereft will find even measure of comfo.+ nou in the confirmation of that which they lono sue pected

THE airports and landing fields
listed in this bulletin do not represent
all available landing places for aircraft
in the United States" it was explained
by Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce for Aeronautics, "as
only those sites which are marked and
have some facilities or which have been
marked and reserved as landing fields
without facilities are given"
There are of record more than 1000
other fields in the United States on
which landings may be made, Mr.. Young
explained These are owned by States,
municipalities, corporations clubs, COM
missions and individuals. Many OF
these, however, are changing character
and so a permanent record Is not OF
great value.

municipalities in which airports are
proposed. Airports having any night

Proposed Nonstop Hop

who few for Austria in the World War
propose a nonstop flight in June from
Detroit to Budapest, Hungary, 4,3o0
miles away.
Lieut.. Alexander Magyar and Lieut..
George EndreSz will undertake the Ven-

than one-third of its population and
territory by peace terms.
Taking off from Detroit with light
gasoline load they expect to refuel over
st. Johns. Newfoundland, follow the
great circle course taken by Lindbergh
in his Paris flight and swing southeast
of Paris to their goal.
The flight is backed by Hungarian
American societies in Detroit, Toledo
and other American cities and similar
organizations in Canada. Magyar, a
bombardment flyer in the war, will be
pilot, and Endresz, pursuit pilot, will
be co-pilot and navigator.
They will fly LOckheed Sirius. Sis

TULSA, Okla. (P).--After providing

Tulsa business men will turn over the

How we'll they succeeded in their eff
fort to give Tulsa prominent place in
aviation is shown by the fact that the
number of passengers handled at the
airport in March exceeded the combined
February totals Of Europe's three lead
ing airports at London, Paris and Ber-
lin.
The Tulsa field cleared 5000 passen-
gers in March. nearly 1000 more than
the number handled by Croydon. lie
Bourget and Templehofer ports in the
previous month.
When the need for an adequate air
port became apparent two years ago
following announcement that air-mail
service had been obtained for Tulsa, the
group of business leaders formed the
Tulsa Airport Corporation, realizing the
opportunity to make the city an avi-
alton center might be lost if the build
ing Of an airport had to await the
voting of bonds
The corporation bought 400 acres of
land near Dawson. northwest of the
city, and built the present airport.

The civil aviation activities of the
Federal Government will be explained
to the world in a series of four papers
to be presented by the aeronautics
branch Of the Department of Commerce
to the fifth International Air Congress

others having been held in London,
Brussels and Rome.
The papers to be submitted by the

PROGRESS CLAIMED
FOR SEA AIRPORT.
Armstrong, Inventor ofiFIoat-

Mooring Problem Is Solved.

BY the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, Del, May Sled
ward r. Armstrong, inventor of the
seadrome or floating airport, small
model of which was tested last Fall in
the Choptank River, of Cambridge,
Md, told a group of engineers here a
few days ago that progress was being
made and that problems of adequate
mooring and sufficient illumination were
now being solved
He said the Choptank tests, lasting
more than month, had proved the
theories upon which he had worked for
several years, and that he was now
laboring on the plans for q full-sized
seadrome with engineers of the Gem
eral Electric Co. and the John Roebling
Co.
THE Roebling Co." he continued,
"has been conducting experiments with
different types and sizes of cables The
result of the original experiment showed
the problems of mooring to be met.
The General Electric Co. has been
working with me on the type of radio
beacon to be used to guide aircraft
and ships to the drome. They also are
working on the method of supplying
power for the drome.
1.-THE results of these experiments
have been most satisfactory 1t has
been found that iron will resist the
corrosive action of the salt water for
more years than the airdrome will pos
sibly be used
1t is planned to place the first sea-
drome half way between New York and
Bermuda and II successful additional
floating airports between New York
and Europe. Each Seadrome will have
a hotel, machine shop and plane
hangers placed at the side of the land
ing area, to be about rs feet above the
surface of the ocean.
