Chief among these was Miss Ear

Co-ordinating the naval search
for the missing plane Of Amelia Ear
hart is the former Washingtonian,
Rear Admiral Orin G. Murfin, now
commandant of the 14th Naval Dis
trict, with headquarters at Pearl Har-
Dor, Hawaii.
Admiral Murfin is directing the
activities of the battleship Colorado,
the aircraft carrier Lexington and
the three new destroyers, Gushing,
Drayton and Lamson, as well as the
minesweepers Tanager and Swan and
the Coast Guard cutter Itasca, to-
gether with attending planes, which
will comb the area with Howland
Island as the hub in an effort to
locate and rescue the missing avi-
atrix.
Thin, wiry, likable. Admiral Murfin
has served from time to time in WASH
ington, where he is we'll known. He
was on duty in the office of naval
operations at the Navy Department
in 1925. The year following he served
as assistant chief of the Bureau of
Navigation here and then went to
command the battleship West Vir-
ginia. In Washington again, Ad-
miral Murfin served as judge advo-
cate general OF the Navy-the serv-
ices senior legal officer-from August
/, 1881, to June l, 1884
Commanded Battleship Division.
From the National Capital he went
to the command of Battleship Divi-
sion 3 of the Battle Force. Then in
October. 1885. he became commander
in chief of the United States Asiatic
fleet with the full rank of admiral,
Last November he left his assignment
as the Navy's senior officer in the
Orient to become the commandant of
the Navy's largest shore base in the
Pacific area-a strategic point from
which the search for Amelia Earhart
is proceeding.
