 WILL LECTURE
ParsOn, Who Married
 Duke of Windsor, Will Tour United States

New York, July 6-(UP)-The Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine, the '.poor mans parson" who defied the church of England to perform the marriage ceremony for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, started a twoAmonth lecture tour of the United States today by criticising the Archbishop of Canterbury for his refusal to approve a religious ceremony for the former king of Great Britain.
 T thought it very unfair of the church of England not to look at the wedding from the spiritual standpoint" he said when he ar- rived aboard the Queen Mary. "The couple asked for a religious service and it was refused. The Archbishop of Canterbury took a political view of the subject rather than spirit ual view"
 What Master Would Do
 The vicar said his ruling prin- ciple in such cases. was to consider what the Master would do.
 Jardine predicted that the match between the duke and the former Baltimore woman for whom hs gave up his throne would be a lasting one.
 Jardine will make his first pub lie appearance here next Sunday when he will speak at Broadway temple at the invitation of the pas tor, the Rev. Christian F. Reisner. On Friday he will broadcast the first of series of addresses for the East Coast Radio Features, of whose president he is a guest. Sat- urday he will speak in Atlantic City, N. J.

her sister, Madeline, 2, whose bodies were found in a ravine week ago
 Retold Horrible Story
 Before God swear I killed those three little girls and attacked them, ' he answered. Then he retold, with changes and elaborations, the story of the killings.
 T planned this thing 8 month ago." he said. My wife and went up the ravine and I thought then what a fine place 1t would be to take the kids and attack and murder them"
 Major change in his confession was that, after turing the girls tc the. ravine in the Baldwin Hills. tc hunt rabbits, he strangled them with rope instead of choking them with his hands as he first said.
 Dyer's mouth twitched and his hands shook as he talked. He broke down as he told of killing Melba, tho oldest girl and second to die.
 Begged for Life
 "Melba cried when she saw tn. rope in my hands," he said. "ShC begged me not to do 1t. Don't please don't do thatr she begged. She struggled but I killed her quicker than the others because she wal crying"
 First I took Madeline up the ra. vine a little way" he said. "The others stayed behind,
 T took the cord from my pocket and slipped 1t around her neck and pulled it tight. The first knot waa a simple slip knot and when it go, tight enough. I clinched 1t witt another knot" ,.. .-. ..
 Asked if he examined her to learn whether she was dead, he replied:
 T said Madeline and she didn't answer"
 Left Her There DeaG
 T left her there dead" he con. tinued, and went back and took Mel. ba along the ravine in the opposite direction from where Madeline lay I told her I had placed Madelin, where she could catch the rabbit. that we'd run down.
 ''"I got the rope around Melbai { neck and killed her the same way did Madeline-only I did it quicker because she was crying and sh' knew.
 "WhenlI had killed Melba, I wen back to Jeanette. I put the rop' around her neck and killed her righ where she was jtanding."
 He was shown a cord taken iron Jeanette's throat. A few strand of her hair adhered to 1t.
 That's the Rope"
 That's the rope I used on Jean ette." he said.
 Parts of his confession were cor roborated from other sources. Georg, Kelley, real estate operator with al ofiice near the Baldwin Hills, tolt of seeing the three girls and Dye walking toward the ravine. Mrs Kaneo Mizutani, owner of a grocer! store where the girls bought candy also saw them.
 Dyer was placed in an isolated cell, with tiers of vacant cells abou 1t, when fellow prisoners threatened to kill him. He crouched in his eel and moaned for protection as h' heard the shouts of the others.

 Husband On New Clue
 In San Francisco, George Palmer Putnam, Miss Earhart's husband. gave up the north of Rowland Island clue as false. He decided that the garbled message from the plane, picked up yesterday, had meant by the phrase "28l north Rowland" that the plane had landed in one of the Phoenix islands which are approximately 280 miles south of Rowland. He urged the naval and coast guard ships to transfer their search there.
 The Coast Guard Cutter Itasca, first to reach the scene, caused a brief period of hope early today when officers on her bridge mistook flaming meteors for flares from Miss Earhart's plane. The 1tasca sent two messages addressed to Miss Earhart saying that 1t had sighted your flares" and was proceeding toward you. While the Itasca raced toward the horizon where the lights had streaked across the sky and her radio urged Miss Earhart to send up more flares, Rowland Island informed the cutter that the same lights had been sighted there, which, because of the great dis tance, eliminated any possibility of the lights having been those of flares.
 
 Others Are Due
 With the Itasca north and west of Rowland were the Naval Mine Sweeper Swan and the British Freighter Boordy. The United States Battleship Colorado with three planes aboard was due at dawn and the Aircraft Carrier Lex

 They said, however, that the $250, 900 estimate probably would not cover the daily cost of pay of of1- cers and men, commercial charges against radio equipment, and oper- ating costs of all vessels were taken into consideration. They said there was no method of estimating the amount of extra cost of the search, over and above normal expendi- lures.
 A tabulation of the navy person. mel and ships actually engaged in the search showed the following: . The airplane carrier Lexington, enroute to the scene of the search carries 1899 men and l50 officers. The navy department here had not been informed of the number of planes aboard the Lexington.
