Judge Sears, appointed by Attor-

a motion asking that the Federal

the names of witnesses who will be
called in the second attempt to de-
port Bridges to his native Australia.
Mrs. King asked a delay in the
hearing on the contention that
Bridges had not been given suffic-

pointed out that the FBI investiga-

Bridges will have had but six weeks

250000 tons Of shipping. If the
rate is continued or increased

This brought the official total to

fists on a 30,000-mile air tour of
Latin America were overdue at Sac
Luiz, state of Maranhao, today and
fear was felt for their safety.
They took off yesterday in their
75-horsepower Culver Cadet plane
from Parnahyba in the state of
Piauhy for a flight of about 100
miles along the northern Brazilian
coast to Sac Luiz. The newspaper
EStado Do Para said that a storm
swept the area over which they
were flying yesterday.
1t was believed possible that they
may have set their plane down at
some remote spot to wait out the
storm.
The two men had flown over
Mexico and Central America, down
