 Additional search aircraft flew out from Oahu Island at daylight to join the Pacific's greatest air sea rescue mission.
 Planes, helicopters. submarines the aircraft carrier Philippine Sea and small fleet of Coast Guard Vessels searched the oceans swells for traces of the plane after a series of possible clues faded
 All scheduled airline flight re- sumed following their course be- tween Honolulu and San Fran cisco. They had been circling the area where the StratocruiSer was last reported.
 Navy planes reported seeing two flares $40 miles west of the missing planes last reported position, the second slightly west of the first.
