the dramatic mid-Pacific search
for the lost round-the-world filters,

navigator were fruitless.
Capt. Friedell, commander Of

here, that the Colorado's three
planes scared over the South Seas
shortly before dusk last night and
returned without sighting a trace
of Miss Earhart's 100000 Flying
Laboratory" which was forced
down last Friday on a perilous
2,570-mile flight from New Guinea
to Rowland Island.
Planes Resume Hunt
Captain Friedell reported the
Colorado steamed slowly through
out the night, weeping her power
full searcGllights over the black
waters.
At dawn today the three cata-
putt planes of the big warship
resumed the aerial search.
In the first attempt to locate
the missing round-the-world plane,
the Navy scout planes were unable
to reach WinSlow Reef before
nightfall. Winslow Reef is the
northernmost coral atoll in the
Phoenix group. After scanning
WinSlow Reef, the Navy airmen
will soar over the numerous, tiny
isles in tho Phoenix group.

Capital Given so Days
To Provide Safety
Or Lose Service

Pilots operating on airlines that
serve the National Capital, took
the fight for an adequate local
air terminus into their own hands
today, ',luntly announcing to Fed
eral officials that they will refuse
to land passengers and mail here
after a 60-day period of grace, if
a safe and adequate" landing
field is not provided. Further, they
announced their operations dur
ing the next so days will be great
ly curtailed.
And as an immediate aftermath
to the announcement of the pilot
group, the Bureau of Air Com
merce of the Department of Com
merce, indicated that its experts
will begin an immediate investi-
cation of the Washington Airport
and if charges of the pilots are
proven true, the Federal Govern
ment will prohibit large airlinerS
using it for future operations.

1t will be the first investigation
of the local terminus ever made
by the bureau.
The drastic step of the pilots
was taken last night when David
L. Behncke, president of the Air
Line Pilots Association, a national
organization, wrote the Bureau of
Air Commerce delivering the pilots
ultimatum. 1t was understood the
pilots voted unanimously to take
this drastic action.
Describing the airport as the
worst landing field in the United
States, the pilots declaration Stip-
ulated that during the 60-day "pe-
Rod of grace" landings would be
made at the airport only when

Bloody Battle

PEIPING, July 8 Q.N.S0 Mar
tial law was declared in Peiping
tonight as a new battle between
Japanese and Chinese troops broke
out 10 miles west of the city.
Japanese military headquarters
claimed that the Chinese Of the
Twenty.ninth Route Army
launched an attack after refusing
to accept a proposal that both
sides disarm pending negotiations
which are in progress.
The Chinese declared, on the
other hand, that the Japanese
were responsible for the renewed
fighting, opening fire with ma
chine-guns, trench mortarS and
artillery in the vicinity of Lukuo'
chiao.
Chinese Mobilize
The japanese disarmament de.
, mand was made as 5000 Chinese
troops were modified along a
ten-mile section of the Peiping-
Hankow railroad and heavy Japa-
nese reinforcement were being
rushed to the scene.
This correspondent was present
at beleaguered Lukuochiao when
the japanese machine-gunnerS
and artillerymen opened fire with
no apparent provocation from the
Chinese side. The initial trench
mortar shell killed two farmers
and destroyed a horse near the
spot where this correspondent
was standing.
Returning to Peiping, I saw nu-
merous truckloads of Japanese re-
Inducements and ammunition. It
was apparent the japanese were
determined to occupy Lukuochiao
during the night.
The Japanese force at and near
ing Lukucohao was estimated at
between 500 and 1000, with Off
Gals outspoken in their intention
of driving out the Chinese.
