of the previous messages and that the carrier band had been from her plane, he believed that they had landed on an island or coral reef and that they had used the last of their gasoline and were no longer able to operate motor with which to re- charge their radio battery.
 Difficulties of the search, one of the greatest and costliest ever staged were indicated when the navy flyers reported they were unable to find Winslow Banks, a group of reefs be- lieved to lie about 75 miles north of the Phoenix Island. The pilots flew in wide arcs as far south as McKean Island of the Phoenix group but did not sight the reefs. ..... ..
 One Island Not Reached
 Gardner Island, one of the largest of the Phoenix group. was not reached by the planes. It is consid- cred one of the more likely spots for a forced landing such as Miss Ear hart must have made. The Colo rado's planes are of the fast fight CT" type, and do not have the cruis- ing range of some of the big bomb- CTS carried by the Lexington.
 The Lexington reached Lahaina Roads, 75 miles from here, yesterday and took on airplane fuel from the supply ship Avocet. It then resumed the race, under forced draft, that started Saturday night at San Diego. A fiotilla of four destroyers also is racing toward Rowland Island. The Colorado probably will be released from the search when the Lexington arrives, Admiral Murfin said.
 Searchlights Active
 Through the night, when the planes are held on the Colorado's decks, the Colorado, the Itasca, and the minesweeper Swan, swept the long, smooth Pacific swells with their great searchlights, while lookouts maintained constant watch. The lights also are thrown against the sky, where they are visible for miles as signal to Miss Earhart and Noonan.
 Flyers who participated in the search gave first hand testimony to- day of the difficulties Miss Earhart must have met in trying to pick out a spot on which to land. Finding Rowland Island, itself little more than sandspit. would be hard. Picking out a landing among the tiny atolls. many so small and low lying as to be almost invisible from the air. must have been extremely difficult, they said.

both sides that they are certain of success.
 Have 52 Votes For Bill
 Administration leaders asserted khey have approximately 52 votes for the revised bill. Already pre- pared to enforce to the limit every senate rule to handicap fllibustering, they said they were ready to stay on the job until they get vote.
 The opposition, without definitely Threatening to resort to obstruction ism, said the leadership was count ing too many votes. Senator Edward 70. Burke, D., Neb.. produced poll showing A votes against the bill, 43 in favor, and nine doubtful.
 A third important factor entered Into the controversy. Several amend snents, including one by O'Mahoney and two by Senator Pat McCarren, D., Nev., have been offered and more will be produced later. One opposition line of attack will be an attempt to amend the measure until it is unsatisfactory to the White House in an effort to split admin astration's support.
 Turn On The Heat
 Senator Sherman Minton, D., Ind, who turned stinging attack on democratic foes of the bill yester- day, said that there was no inten- tion of limiting Legitimate debate" but that later the administration would turn on the heat" by hold ing sll-night sessions If necessary to break e filibuster.
 "Eventually," added Senator Ro- bert M. La Toilette, F., Wis., a sup porter of the bill, 1t may become a test of endurance to see how long the opponents Of the bill can talk and how long we can sit here"

 was regarded as a blow to Lewis hopes of unifying Marine workers under the c. I. O. banner.
 Green Denounced CLIO.
 Green denounced the C.I.O. in his first formal statement regarding the strike called by Lewis against four independent operators. It now be- comes certain that the steel strikes at Chicago, Cleveland, Johnstown, Youngstown, Canton and other ci- ties are lost" he said. "The com- mittee for industrial organization failed to meet its first major test successfully" Green continued. "The strikes exacted their toll in human life and human suffering. No one can correctly measure the extent of the distress which individuals and whole communities have suffered and will suffer.
 "There are two outstanding req sons why the strikes were lost. First, because only a minority of the steel workers employed at the plants involved were organized when the strikes were called. Sec- ond, public opinion was aroused be- cause of the violent policies pur- sued by the C.I.O. in automobile and steel during the past year.
 "As result of the creation of hostile public opinion against the CI.O., the American Federation of Labor must intensity its fight against the enactment of repres- sive legislation such as compulsory arbitration, the incorporation of trade unions and the restriction of the rights which organized labor may exercise both in carrying out contracts and in the inaugura ton and prosecution of justifiable strikes. We can not permit all or ganized labor to be penalized be- cause of the stupid mistakes of the C.I.O." Lewis declined formal com- ment on Greens assertions.

 Negotiations between the manage enent and the Guild continued after an all-night session. An exchange of proposals was made after the police dispersed the Guild pickets from the plant Thursday.
 The Guild asked that Rodney L. Brink, editor in -chief of the Star and the Scripps League of Newspa- pers, who resigned yesterday, be of aered his job back. Brink said he resigned because he thought tha iS- sues would be clarified If he were but of the picture.

The venerable Rabbi Moshe Blau, president of the "Agu- dath Israel" of extreme Orthodox Jewry, said the partitian recom- mendation coincides with this weeks chanting by Orthodox Jews all over the world of the 34th chapter of Deuteronomy in which God tells Moses the boundaries of the Jewish state. "Those are the boundaries which we hope will materialize eventually" the rabbi said.
 Arabs State Claims
 The Arab high committee after a meeting last night said in a state- ment: Whereas Palestine belongs to the whole Arab Moslem world; whereas the nation has been acting under the guidance and support of their majesties and highnesses the Arab kings and pricnes; and where as the proposed policy contradicts Arab demands, therefore the com mittee is communicating immediate ly with the above mentioned kings and princes in order to decide the policy to be pursued. The committee is confident of its rights and stead- fast in its claims and begs the noble Arab nation not to heed empty promises and remain faithful to its national program, exercising self re- straint and maintaining fully its be- lief in ultimate success"
 Palestine Diseased
 A member of the committee said: Arabs always considered Palestine diseased with ionist policy. Such a disease needs a radical operation.

BOY SCOUTS TO

ary review" yesterday. ,....
 There were "32 miles of scouts by estimate, lined Up on Constitu- tion avenue while the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, cabinet members and congressman drove slowly past. Of course, the lines, five deep of scouts, really extended only about two miles. But in single hle-ap- proximately g miles of scouts.
 Stormed President
 For the first time since start of the jamboree the scouts enthusiasm, inspired by seeing the president, caused them to break lines and swarm about the open car where the president laughed with and at them. Four out of. five scouts sought to get closeup" pictures of the president.
 One excited Florida scout tossed package" into Mrs. Roosevelt,s lap, eluding the secret service men to get close enough. The package was paper bag containing a small live alligator.
 Mrs. Roosevelt examined her gift and, presumably took it with her to the White House. But just where the baby alligator spent last night none of the scouts, including the donor of the tropical reptile, could tell. ts s.'r Fat~r.}} 2. '
 Conn. Congressmen Hosts
 Connecticut congressman have been hosts to scouts from their state on several occasions, the most, im- portant in terms of the boys, being the time Congressman J. Joseph Smith and others took the boys to the Capitol and to active sessions of the house of representatives and the senate. .rr
 The several scout leaders in, charge of the delegation from Mattatu council report that all of the boys are well and not even minor acci- dents have marred their part in the celebration at Washington. As- sistant Chief Executive Henry Donohue will be in charge of the returning party tomorrow, 1t is ex- pected, as Scout Executive David P. Babson is an ofiieial of the jam. boree and may have to remain longer in Washington to complete his duties.

made. I will be glad to answer ques- tions," Morgenthau said.
 Fish was barred by committee vote from discussing President Roosevelt's personal income tax re- turns, but his secretary passed out during the inquiry statement by Fish quoting a newspaper story as saying that the president admitted he had been "one of thousands of American citizens to duck through some legal loophole in the income tax law"
 Fish said Mrs. Roosevelt's radio contract called for the money she earned to be paid directly to the Friends Service Society, and that thereby 1t was possible to avoid the federal law which limits income tax reductions for charity purposes to IS per cent of total income.
 Others Can Do It
 "If one person, even the preSi- dents wife, can find one smart lit- tie scheme to avoid tax payments, other people can do it," Fish con- tended.
 CriticiSeS Contract
 Fish asserted that a contract for ten broadcasts on an Arch Preserver Shoe program provided that Mrs. Roosevelt would only receive q, while $3,000 for each broadcast went to charity and $l,000 additional was divided between Myles F. Lasker, who drew up the contract, and Miss Nancy Cook, friend of Mrs. Roose- velt.
 The contract, Fish charged, en- abled Mrs. Roosevelt ito avail her. self of special loophole" in the tax laws.
 He referred to the fact that under tax laws an individual may claim deductions for up to 15 per cent of income for charity purposes, but that amounts in excess of that arc not tax-free.
 Fish read Mrs. Roosevelt's radio contract to the committee and contended 1t showed that "the money she earned she directed into other channels and 1t must be self evident to everyone that she must have received a high type of advice on tax matters"
 So Could Rockefeller
 "If she could do this then John D. Rockefeller, Jr., could do the same thin and not have to pay GO per cent on his. income" Fish said
 Fish explained, however, that he had "his respect" for Mrs. Roose- welt and commended her for her gifts to charity, his only objection being, he said, the manner in which the money was distributed.
 After discussing Mrs. Rosevelt's radio contract Fish urged the com- mittee to look into the tax returns of Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr, before he entered the cabinet,
 Earlier. while Morgenthau and other treasury officials sat nearby, Fish charged that the administra- ton had used "inquisitorial methods" in its drive against tax avoidance
 President to Answer
 Washington, July g. = (UP) - President Roosevelt indicated to- day he may make a direct answer to statements of Representative Hamilton Fish, republican, New York, regarding federal income tax returns of members of the Roose- welt family.

TJ A light eastern breeze along the sea coast brought only slight relief to sweltering New Erglanders. The temperature ,at 10 a. m. (EDT) was 83 and was rising at the rate of a half degree an hour, but Moves said 1t was quite likely that it would not reach 90 on the seacoaSt. In- land, the temperature probably will be about the same as yesterday. < !; Tomorrow, Moves said, also will bring high temperatures. He saw no prospect of showers. He saw teau forecasts only 4S hours ahead, s Death Rate Grows
 Y The death toll increased almost hourly.
 2 At Brockton, Mrs. Alice Katz, 6S, was stricken on the grave of her late husband Osher in Chevra Tilim cemetery. She and her six children were attending memorial services at the grave.
 At Haverhill, Mrs. Margaret Sul- livan, 70, died of a heat-fnduced heart attack. ,,..t
 With maximum temperature of go, yesterday was the hottest day since June 29, 1888, one of the 13 hottest, days in the 66-year history of the Boston weather bureau, and the hottest July 8 in the bureaus history. Twenty-Five deaths yester- day were attributed to the heat Eff teen were fatal prostrations and the remainder, drownings. Little Hope of Relief
 The wind shifted to the east this morning, but unless 1t increased in velocity there appeared little pros- pect that 1t would prevent the tenn perature from rising to the 9Os again. .-.
 The temperature dropped slowly but steadily during the night and at 6 a. m. (EDT) was 78. An estimated million persons sought relief at beaches yesterday and last night, clogging main highways with the heaviest weekday trafic of the year. Revere Beach attracted 250,- 900 and Nantasket, 125,000. Oface ! help were dismissed early because of the heat. Only skeleton crews remained on duty at the state house, city hall and custom house.

Make Alaska Safe For U. s. Ships
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Seattle Post-Inteligencer)
 Foreign Trade Week and Maritime Day have passed with speeches, visits to merchant ships boat and displays of bunting
 Puget Sound should not be content with this ob- servance.
 There is need here for attention to maritime mat ters the year around.
 Particularly is this true with respect to facilities for Alaska shipping
 Alaska has been the property of the United States for seventy years.
 To date officials of the coast and geodetic survey report after approximately fifty years of work the survey of the Alaska coast only 50 percent complete
 If work proceeds at the rate of the last fifty years it will be 1887 before mariners will have ably complete charts of Alaskan waters
 Each year brings its toll of wrecks on uncharted rocks in Alaska waters The location of these rocks and reefs later to be removed by army engineers or private shipping interests is only of the important objects of the coast surveys.
 It is a melancholy fact that funds for the coast and geodetic survey instead of being increased were reduced for the current year. For the fiscal year 1888 a slight increase has been approved.
 The complete charting of Alaska waters is of in terest to than those interested in commercial shipping
 Alaska is the key to the North Pacific in any plan of national defense With Pearl Harbor in Hawaii standing outpost to intercept enemy attacks the south, it is almost certain that any hostile fleet would approach the United States by the direct unguarded great circle route through Alaska waters.
 It would be folly to send the United States fleet north to meet an invading force, to pile up charted rocks.
 An aggressive interest by Seattle and other Puget Sound cities will speed the completion of the Alaska survey.
 With the installation of needed aids to navigation it will be long step toward making Alaska safe for the service of commercial shipping and the national defense.
