snoopy ''schoolmarm" of the 1890
vintage who is suspicious that every
death is murder, while Mr.. Glea-
son portrays a fast talking, but
rather obtuse police inspector.
Murder on a Honeymoon" Is a
rapid action mystery melodrama.
The mystery OF who killed a man in
seaplane flying between Los
Angeles and Catalina Island is
solved by Miss Oliver and Gleason
in a series of laugl1-provoking cpl
sodes that alternate thrills and chills
with the comedy.

 Fred Moller, PAA flight mechanic, who was an observer on the plane flown by Pilot Jerry Jones during several days of the systematic search for the missing Hines plane, arriv- ed Sunday aboard the PA Lock- need Electra.
 Hard To Locate
 Moller, who IS enroute to the States for vacation of one month, stated that the search is particular ly difficult at this season of the year, as the color of the plane does not contrast with the background. Autumn has arrived in the region tlaversed by the search planes-the leaves of birch trees have changed from green to red and orange, and there are wide fields of red fire xeed' and other red flowers. The missing Hines plane is Stinson with orange-red wings and q blue 1u5cldSt. NlUIitl Sbdtttl oildO AIOlii the air a boulder in a small field of red flowers often appeared to be the missing plane.
 Moller advanced the theory that possibly the Hines plane had en- eountered fog after leaving Dawson and was foreed to the ground by ice forming on the wings and propeller. Moller said that two days after the Hines plane left Dawson, the search plane in which he rode as observer flew into fog, iced upp and was forced to turn back. Heavy fog COW. cred parts of the region between Dawson and Fairbanks on August IS, the day the Hines plane left Dawson, and PAA plane flown by w. J.
