 again today, and they scared away to continue their hopeless search of the vast area. On the surface, the battleship, the Minesweeper Swan, and the Coast Guard Cutter Itasca, steamed In zig-zagging courses. Since the Colorado arrived in the lonely Phoenix group of coral reefs and tiny islands, her planes have covered 66,000 square miles, only . small percentage of the area in which experts believed Miss Ear- hart's $s0,000 plane was forced to land a week ago yesterday. A navy spokesman said that the search would not be effective until the Lexington arrived, due to the inad- equacy of equipment now on the scene. The weather was calm and hot, but broken occasionally by tenn. pestuous rain and wind squalls conditions common to the equatorial zone.
 Hope Is Fast Sinking
 As time passed with no word of the flyers, hope for their safety and ultimate rescue sank, but 1t was more than possible that they were alive and well on one of the innumerable islands of the group. Because of the short range of the Colorado's planes, they had not ex- plored the southern extremity of the Phoenix Island group notably Hull and Gardner Islands, both large enough to accommodate an emergency plane landing. When the Lexington arrives, these and all other islands will be investigated.
 But # Miss Earhart and Noonan did land without injury on an island or reef, naval authorities feared that each passing day might be bringing them closer to death from privation. The equatorial heat lack of fresh, palatable water, shortage of food, would all take their toll of persons unaccustomed to the fierce climate. The plane car ried emergency rations and e de- vice for extracting the salt from the sea water, but there was no assur. ance that this equipment would prove adequate.
 Putnam Still Steadfast The one person with unwaverino 1 confidence that both would bC found alive was George Palmer Putnam, Miss Earhart's husband He continued his vigil at the coast guard radio station in San Fran. cisco.
 Today. for the third straight day there was no radio message of any description purporting to have come from the plane. Radio experts had doubted the authenticity of the many messages that confused the first days of the search, % this ab- 1 sence was an assistance rather than Ia hindrance to the search.
 Admiral Orin c. Murfin, conn mandant Of the i4th naval district in charge of the search. has plotted the method by which the Lexing' tons flyers will cover the area. He has blocked off . rough rectangle which runs about 600 miles north and south and Is about 400 mile1 wide. The area encompassed is equivalent to that Of the state oi Texas, and virtually all of 1t a open water.

Inland, there was no ram. Maxi mum temperature yesterday was e7 compared with 90 Thursday.
 The storm cut 30-mile wide swath along the coast of Massa- chusetts, New Hampshire and south- ern Maine. Lightning felled trees, crippled light and power lines and wrecked houses, A barn was burned to the ground In Concord, Mass. At sharon, bolt struck e hay barn causing damage estimated at $40, ,o0o,
 Several sections reported hall stones as large as marbles. Peppered by the icy pellets, bathers fled for shelter at Nantasket and Revere beaches, where an estimated $50, ,00C had sought relief from the record heat.
 Sixteen deaths, Ave of them by drowning, yesterday were attributed to the heat. Victims included Frank Costa, l2, whose brother Paul and sister Alice were slain by crazed Jeremiah Mackey in South Boston last March

This com- munique commented incidentally that italian soldiers were replacing Spanish Fascist and Moorish troops on the Santander front where there was great troop activity.
 Leaflets Over Madrid
 Loyalist aviators today dropped leaflets over Madrid which read:
 "The peoples aviation, reinforced and powerful, is here determined to give the last shove and defin- itely liberate Madrid from the Fascist claws. We are going to battle and putting our lives without reservation into the victory.
 we serve you from the air. We promise to fight the enemy. We ask you to march forward. You have asked for aviation day by day Our impatience and yours grew every huor until we could start our motors and open the fire of our machine guns. Here you have avia- ton. Here you have your loyal aviation covering Madrid with its wings. Our duty is fulfilled. Full fill yours. We do not know either route or retreat"
 Insurgents Refute It
 Avila. Spain, July 10-(UP)-Na- tionalist authorities asserted today that the Loyalists had lost 5000 killed and 5000 wounded in the of- fensive on the Madrid front.
 Nationalists assert they have broken the offensive immediately south Of Madrid and that they net only have lost no ground there but have advanced 500 yards at some nf30ka.

Housing Problem Is
 Becoming Serious

don't operate that way. And the reason the new householders are building probably can be found to arise from rent problems and dis satisfaction with their rented quar- ters.
 This spring the Federal Housing division of the PWA had 6i prot. ects in 36 cities under construction. Completed, they are designed to provide living quarters for 10000 families at cost of $i33, 100000 of which the Federal government wes paying outright SS9,000,00o. De- partment ofilcials felt then, and presumably have not changed their minds, that this was but a "drop in the bucket" For the size of the bucket" now has been estimated statistically.
 Condition of Dwellings
 By figures compiled by the United States chamber of commerce. as an inventory taken In A cities 1t was shown: That only one-thira of the dwellings surveyed had both hot and cold running water; one- third had coal or wood stoves fol ating; I'll per cent. had no pri- vate indoor toilet; 26 per cent. nc bathing facilities; 8 per cent. no in- terior water supply whatever. Only 37 per cent. were designated as moi needing repair.
 Half of the dwellings, in the 64 cities rented for $20 a month cf less. Tenants couldn't erpect much for that, 1t was remarked. But tive out of five American families can- not afford to pay over s2b . month rent because even In prosperous 1929, 2i per cent. of all families hao annual incomes of less than Si000; anotiier 2l per cent. had incomes between $i,000 and $i,600, and II per cent. had incomes between $500 and 5000.
 Families Couldn't Pay
 Taking the traditional 20 pei cent. allocated to rent costs by eco' nonists, a fifth of the families Il, the low income groups could not af. ford to pay as much as $l7 a month for rent; another fifth could pay up to $25, and another group could pay between $25 and $33

 Leaders on both sides claimed c different result, however. Adminis- tration stalwarts said they would put Un the pressure until they forced a vote. Opposition strategists, accord ing to Sen. Edward R. Burke, d.. Neb., believed 1t would never come tc a vote.
 We are engaged in a legitimate presentation of the issues to the senate and to the country" he said
 Situation Similar
 "The situation is the same as dur ing the hearings before the judiciary committee. The people at that time may have been in favor of the orig inal bill due to the personal popu- larity of President Roosevelt but they turned vehemently against | before the hearings were over.
 "The substitute measure is ever worse than the original bill. Il means a court of indefinite propor. tions and of indefinite numerica strength, which strength is to b' controlled by the executive.

are not In any great contrast to those established last year. If any. thing the debts are slightly higher than those of the previous court year.
 The outstanding Judgment of the year was that of $i060e7.37 in favor of the Waterbury Savings bank against Elizabeth 0.

Judge Wynne entered the judgment May 2 after the Mer- chants Trust had succeeded Charles H. Dumschat as plaintiff.
