CLUE TO JAPANESE
OCEAN FLYERS FAILS
Radio Message Believed to Refer
to American Aviators
in Alaska.

A radio message which yesterday gave
rise to the hope that a trace had been
found Of the japanese goodwill flyers,
missing since last week, is believed to
have come instead from an airplane
carrying two Americans, missing from
Anchorage, Alaska, since Sunday.
The message, received by the Naval
Radio Station at st. Paul, Alaska. from
the japanese station at Ctchishi was
relayed to the Navy Department. 1t
read:
Our plane at top of River Mantanu
in Alaska. where signaling with gun
fire and lights
Because the message was at first be-
lieved to refer to the three Japanese
flyer, who disappeared last week en-
Francisco, 1t was sent to the Japanese
embassy.
Subsequent developments, however.
indicated the message may have been
garbled and referred to the American
plane.
This theory was strengthened by the
failure Of officials to locate any Man.

ports from residents of the Mantanuska
Valley. near Anchorage, that they had
seen flares along the route the two
American would have followed.
1t was considered probable that the
"Mantanu" in the message should have
been "Mantanuska.'
The Anchorage plane. which carried
Pilot Arthur Woodley and Harry Nor
ton. an Anchorage attorney. was to be
sought by other planes today.

HITLERITE DEMANDS
VOICED BY GOERING
'Retraction Of War Guilt Lie"
Among First, Says National
Socialist Leader.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN. September 29.-Hermann
Goering, National Socialist leader,
said today the three main issues spon-
sored by the Nazis for the coming cleo
tion campaign would be retraction of
"the war guilt lie," thereby restoring
Germany's honor; equality Of Germany
before the nations, and national security.
Herr Goering, who made the declara-
ton to a group Of newspaper men, said
he was speaking In behalf of his chief,
Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazis.
There can be no argument about
these demands. he said, for the whole
nation insists upon them. Even the
Won Papen government has indorsed
them, he declared, but lacks the driv-
ing power to put them into effect. Hit
Ter alone. said Capt. Goering, can
achieve thsse enCs.
Our eim," he said, "is to destroy
Marxism and Communism. We will
welcome the cooperation Of the Cen
trists as soon as they disassociate them
selves from Marxism
I'VE are not setting one class against
another-our ranks include all, from
the humblest to the highest. We fight
Won Papen because he lacks the peo-
pies confidence"
