"AMElIA IS SAFE,"
SISTER BELIEVES
Mrs. Muriel Morrissey Refuses
to Give Up Hope for
Lost Flyer.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MEDFORD, Mass, July 5.--Mrs.
Muriel Morrissey, sister Of Amelia
Earhart, believed forced down In the
Pacific Ocean on her world-girdling
flight, today clung to the hope the
famous aviatrix and her navigator
would be found.
Il just refuse to believe everything
won't turn out all right" she said as
she received reports of the progress
Of the search for her sister and Capt.
Fred Noonan, Miss Earhart's navi-
gator. 1T seems a pity that Amelia
and Capt. Noonan should encounter
a tropical storm so close to the end
Of their world journey"
Mrs. Morrissey said that when she
last saw Amelia in March she "out-
lined plans for the fight and told me
1t would be great fun"
Meanwhile, Mrs Morrissey's 7-year-
old son, David, and his 5-year-old
sister, Amy, anxiously awaited a letter
from Amelia. She had promised the
children she would obtain post marks
at all stops she made and mail the
letter to them
David, in tears, pleaded with his
mother to find out why my letter
might be lost" as he had promised
to show 1t to all the kids"

All day Sunday. while search for
the trio was intensified, Dyer waited
around, offering suggestions to au-
thorities. On Monday, after four Boy
Scouts found the bodies in the ravine
Dyer was among the first to reach
the scene of the crime.

they oughtn't to smoke. out of re-
spect for the dead and because they
might start grass fire." Dyers al

Dyer was questioned early in the

derson said. Dyer appeared suddenly
at police headquarters and announced

He was told no one had even men,

mediately detailed to shadow him
Dyers first questioning was the re-
suit OF a story by 14-year-old Mike
Huerta. who reported to police in
stances when the crossing guard
assertedly attempted to lure othe,
children from the park.
This little Mexican youth should
share in the bulk of the reward" Chic,
Oscar Campbell said.
Clinic Employe Helped.
Another claimant to the reward
which now totals $4,000, is George
Ray, 25, medical clinic employe. who
told Detective Sanderson that Over
talked to him Monday, betraying a
close knowledge to all the details.
Mrs. Dyer, married to the crossing
guard two years ago, is "a. Il believe
my husband is innocent-I'm not

Lieut.. w. w. Harvey and seven
Navy co-flyers rested here from the
rigors of a futile attempt to pursue
the search in a flying boat which
left here Friday night.
Within 370 miles of Howland, they
were forced back by freak tropical
storm which pelted the plane with
sleet and covered it with snow.

experienced in II years of flying

that the daring woman flyer and
Noonan will be rescued from their
plane, down either on a tiny atoll or
in the ocean itself.
1t came while radio listeners all
around the Pacific and far inland
sought anew to catch unexplained
distress signals, voices and "squeals"
which for two nights have buoyed
hopes the missing aviators might be
calling desperately for aid.
One call in the series of mysterious
radio signals was reported late last
night from Cincinnati, Ohio, where
an amateur said he recognized Miss
Earhart's voice weakly pleading for
aid from position he interpreted to
be within ST miles of HoWland Is
land.
Plane Missed Tiny Island.
Miss Earhart missed this tiny mile
and-a-half-long sandspit, hardly vis-
lole in the vast equatorial Pacific, as
she and Noonan blazed a new air
trail eastward from New Guinea, $50
miles away.
Nearly out of fuel and uncertain of
their position, she and Noonan came
down at some spot presumably near
HoWland, but whether they reached a
coral reef or landed in shark-infested
waters, no one knows.
The Lexington. carrying it's brood
OF 81 planes, accompanied by four
oestroyers, the Gushing, Perkins, Lam
son and Drayton, sped to the rescue
under forced draught. But with
possible refuelling stop in Hawaii, it
was estimated five or six days would
be needed for her to reach the How
land area.
The Lexington carries 1899 men,
including flying personnel. Officers
total 1859, including plane pilots. The
snip has full-load capacity of 40 900
tons, has made as high at 34h knots
Tor one hour, and carries 1000 tons
OF fuel oil. At full speed, the motors
use 1000 tons of fuel a day. At eco
nomical speed they consume a much
lower quantity.
Colorado 500 Miles on Way.
The battleship Colorado. pushing
southWard from Honolulu, was over
ooo miles on its 1,500-mile journey to
aid the 1tasca, carrying on the search
alone IN the face of dwindling sup
plies OF fuel for its engines and water
for its crew.
Aboard the Colorado were three
naval planes, which officials indicated
would join the search as soon as the
oattleshlp is within striking distance
OF the area north and east of Rowland,
IN which the hunt is centered.
In all, more than 1000 men are
aboard vessels speeding to rescue the
aviatrix.

Earhart's plane was equipped with
