Rush Aid To Hurricane Victims In Stricken Honduras Cty
SCORES RUM0RS
PACIFIC FLIGHT
WAS ONLY HOAX

TACOMA, Wash. Sept. Is. U.P)-
Rumors that the attempted trans.
Pacific flight of Don Moyle and Ce-
Gil Allen was hoax were scored
by John Buffelin, Tacoma capital
st who backed the flight
The rumorS had spread rapidly
in this vicinity after it was learned
that the flyers had landed about
| 1900 miles from their starting point
due to shortage of gasoline and oil
! Today's dispatches, telling of their
encounters with storms and their
intention TO continue the flight by
way of Nome, served to counteract
further spread of the belief, how
ever.
Buffelin, who has put about $780,
GOO behind attempted Pacific
flights, all of which have "flopped, -
blamed the rumor TO rivals or zeal
Gus" flyers.
1T did seem queer he said, that
they flew only 1900 miles or so be-
fore being forced down, when they
expected to reach Puget Sound with
gasoline and oil they carried at the
start.
I've given those boys all my con-
fidence and backing and my faith
will remain unShaken until | hear
their side of the story"
Buffelin said he had received
cablegram from the Asaki newspa-
pers, which have offered S25 5000 for
the first nonstop flight from ia
pan TO America. saying that Moyle
and Allen will be given $500 for
their courage and valor."

RELIEF FUND HELD
PRIVATE DONATION
s225, 900 Spent in Coal Areas
by Quaker Organization
Uses Up Contributions.

The $225,oO0 contributed by the
American Relief Administration, OF
which President Hoover is chairman,
for the direct relief in the bituminous
coal fields came from private rather
than Government funds, 1t was ex-
planned today.
Formerly the American Relief Ad-
ministration possessed 100000, 900 of
Federally appropriated funds. All OF
this, however, was spent in postwar re-
lief in Europe or turned back into the
Treasury. In connection with the ale
Walton of suffering caused by unemploy-
ment, President Hoover has repeatedly
opposed direct Federal relief, contend
ing such relief should come from private
sources.
Funds Declared Private.
However, when testimony was given
before a Senate committee Monday of
the Relief Administration contribution
to feed and clothe children of unem-
ployed miners in parts of West Virginia,
Kentucky and Illinois, the question was
raised, but unanswered, as to whether
Government funds were involved.
1t was asserted in authoritative
quarters yesterday, however, that the
Relief Administration was operating or

donations of between 100000 900 and
$3.50, 100000 for relief work in Europe
