Pacific Hides Fate Of eli lpper

"smudgeS of oil'' were sighted on
the waters near Tutuila gained
wide circulation.
The Samoan clipper was 200
miles out of Pago Pago when she
radioed that she was turning
back. This message came at 1850
a. m. (P. s. T) yesterday. At
1887 p. m. the last radio direc-
tional beam buzz from the clipper
was heard. The silence Of her
radio indicated she landed in the
water-a forced or voluntary
landing.
They were many who believed
that Captain Musick, noted for
his conservatism, probably made
a voluntary landing to repair the
engine trouble which he reported
IN the 11:50 a. m. message. He
said one of the Samoan clippers
four motors was disabled "by an
apparent oil leak"
When the plane failed to make
the expected return appearance
at Pago Pago after a reasonable
wait, Pan,American officials mott
fled the Navy. The seaplane and
minesweeper were then dis
patched from Tutuila. They
searched the atoll-strewn South
Seas for seven hours before re
turning to their base when dark
ness cloaked the calm waters.

The clipper took off Sunday
from Honolulu and completed

WRIGHT KILLING
TRIAL TO BRING
MENTAL STUDY
State to Scan PsychoI-
ogy of Airline Executive

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IL Q.N.S0
The stage was set here today for
the murder trial tomorrow Of Paul
a. Wright, 38, aviation traffic
executive, accused Of shooting
down his wife, Evelyn, 80, and his
best friend, John Kimmel, 20, in
a mad outburst Of jealous passion
last November 9.
E. Ernest Rolls, chief prosecu-
ton counsel, said he would delve
deeply into the marriage psy.
chology Of the aviation executive
and his pretty, Intellectual wife,
former Detroit society editor.
PSYCHOLOGY PROBLEM
The triangle scene which
brought death to her and to John
B. Kimmel, also an aviation execu.
tive, had obscure psychological
bases which experts will be called
upon to evaluate, Rolls said.

count heavily on the testimony Of
a former Wright maid, who lived
with the family during a previous
crisis when their marriage was
purportedly near the breaking
point. The nature Of her testi.
mony was not disclosed, however.
DOCTOR TO TESTIFY
A witness who must be called
by the State, but who may prove
q stumbling block, Is DR.. A. F.
Wagner, autopsy surgeon for the
county.
DR.. Wagner reported that Mrs.
Wright was shot four times, all
of the bullets entering her head
neck and body from the back.
Kimmel was shot three times, the
bullets entering his body from the
front, the doctor said.
Wright claimed that he found

LONDON, Jan. - q.N.SO.
Dictator Josef Stain wore
net steel underwear and was
guarded by 10000 police re-
cruited from all parts of Russia
for today's opening of the new
Soviet parliament. the London
Daily Mirror reported in a War
saw dispatch.
The dispatch stated it was re-
ported that Soviet authorities
did not rely on MoscoW's mill
tary garrisons for Stains protec-
ton.
Officers of these garrisons, said
the Mirror, are unreliable and
many have been arrested. To
guard the Dictator, the dispatch
added, military divisions of the
Soviet secret police, the famed
GPU, have been modified and
armed with machine guns.
The London Daily Mail reported
from Riga that Stain will hold i'm
portant conferences this week with
Marshal Vastly Blucher, army
chieftain, defense CO mmissar
Klement E. Voroshilov, and Army
Chief of Staff A. I. Yegorov.
