Lindbergh may be on? of the most daring aviators in the world, but that aoea not mean that he is not also one of the moat careful and conservative. For, according to Harold Guggenheim, President of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, Inc., under the auspices of which "Lindy" is making a three-months flight into every State in the Union, the Colonel and his plane have been completely covered by insurance. Four policies aggregating $160,000 have been written. The Independence Companies of Philadelphia issued three policies, insuring the plane for $15,000 against destruction by fire, $10,000 for property damage and from $10,000 to $100,000 against public liability. The life of the Colonel has been insured by the United States Life Insurance Oompany in favor of his mother for $25,000. Thus "We" have been entirely covered, except against theft Airplanes ran, of course, be stolen, but the risk of separating the flying Colonel from his machine even in the bijf crowds which are receiving him on hia all-American tour, waa' considered rather remote.

While Navy boats and planes searched under an extended "zero hour," secretary of the navy Curtis 1>. Wilbur, a San Francisco visitor, and official* in Washington agreed today that miiiic federal move must be made to prevent a recurrence of the disasters that have befallen the Dole air race entrants, crews of the Golden Kagle, Miss Dot an and the Dallas Spirit. Admiral Kberle, acting secretary of the navy, in Washington predicted the enactment by congress of a law to prohibit long distance airplane "stunt flights" except under rigid conditions. At the same time Admiral Kberle ordered the 4(J naval .vessels searching the Pacific for the missing fliers, to continue their efforts until Thursday. The original plans were that the hunt should officially terminate tornorrow night, a week from the date df the start of the Miss Doran and the Golden Kagle in the Dole race. Extension was given us the result of the disappearance of the Dallas Spirit, piloted by Capt. William Erwin of Dallas, Texas, and navigated by A. H. Eichwaldt of Hayward, Calif., which apparently dived into the sea nearly 700 miles west of San Francisco Friday night after flashing in SOS calls on its radio. Secretary Wilbur was quoted as agreeing that "some steps must be taken by the federal government to prevent future loss of lives in long distance stunt flights." He declined to comment on Admiral Kberle's prediction. The secretary said that, the president had some power in this respect, but said he was not sure that this was sufficient to cover the situation. He declared it was inevitable that some action will be taken "to prevent 1 needless loss of life." That navy men conducting the hunt for the missing men in the Dallas Spirit held little hope for their rescue was reflected by Lieut. Comdr. W. C, Tooze of the destroyer Hazlewood, who said: "I do not think there is one chance in a thousand that the Dallas Spirit will ever be found. 'I he Hazlewood, in command of Comdr. K. H. Connor, covered an area of '{,'200 square miles about a point where she gave us her last position and in that space there was not a piece of flotasam?not even an oil spot." The destroyers Hazlewood, Hull, Kidder, frarenholt and Corry were in San Francisco restocking their larders and refueling, preparatory to proceeding back out to sea to rejoin the airplane carrier Langley, some 500 miles \off shore. The Langley has been dispatching observations plans over wide areas, for searching purposes. Reports from Honolulu bore no more hope. The Associated Press correspondent at the island headquarters declared "another day passed without developments in the search for the Dole fliers." Submarines and their mother ship, the Widgoon, returned to Pearl Harbor, for a long cruise down the windward side of the islands and back along the Leeward side, arriving home with empty fuel tanks and larders. C apt. Frank ( . Martin in charge of the submersibles, reported to rear Admiral John D. McDonald that they saw "nothing but blank ocean." Admiral McDonald ordered Captain Martin to refuel and reprovision his ships, presumably in preparation for further searching. Captain Martin reported that the seas about the islands were so rough that once when a lookout sighted what appeared to be a varnished piece of wood they were unable to pick it up. One of the ships reported sighting n light at night or a flare and investigation disclosed this to be a1 stai with clouds floating across its face. The submarine tender Holland and submarine boats searched^the area south of Kauai to latitude 21 while seaplane patrols explored the ocean east and north of Kauai. Sampans (Japanese fishing boats) were all being checked upom their return to the islands in an effort to find at least one. that might have sighted a b:t of wreckage' or some sign of the missing fliers. Letters written by Thomas Jefferson during his lifetime totaled about thirty thousand.

Fall have been sealed and the millions of barrels of navy fuel are held against the day of need. Control of this supply wbb restored to the navy by order of President Coolidge cancelling the Harding order putting navy oil in the hands of the secretary of interior. The great California reserves have been restored outright to the navy, Doheny's Elk Hills lease having been cancelled by order of the U. S. Supreme court in sustaining the government's charge of fraud. Doheny made three small California leases with Fall about the same time as the' big Elk Hills lease. Suit for recovery has been brought. The government makes the same charge as in its former spit?that Doheny gave Kail $100,000 as part of this deal. The navy department has closed in all of the twenty-one producing wells on the California reserves, which once had an output of 1,500,000 bar rels a year. i The Teapot Dome reserve^! ming, leased to Sinclair, is M by receivers pending the o\;B the suit to cancel the lease.^^B ernment lost in the trial won a reversal.
