CLIPPER IS HUNTED
OFF DOUGLAS REEF
japanese Navy Acts on Request
of Pan American Airways
Through U. S. Embassy.

Py the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Aug. Z (Sunday).-The
japanese navy today radioed the
steamer Canberra Maru, en- route
from Australia to Japan, to go by
way Of Douglas Reef to look for the
missing Hawaii Clipper
The navy's announcement of the
order said the United States Embassy
had reported the big plane found and
asked aid. The Embassy later denied
this.
Douglas Reef is just north of the
route the clipper expected to follow
from Guam to Manila when she took
of July %.
Eugene H. Dooman, Counselor of
the American Emnassy, said the Pan
American Anyways had calculated the
Clipper might be in the vicinity of
Douglas Reef and had asked the En-
bassy to request japanese aid.
As result, he said, he asked the
japanese navy If such help could be
given and the navy radioed the Can
berra Maru, which happened to be
the nearest vessel to the reef.
Earlier reports last night indicated
that the Japanese steamer Canberra
Maru had reported sighting the plane
floating of Douglas Reef. Apparently
this was due to a garbled interpreta-
ton in Toxic of the request by the
American Embassy.
