NEW YORKr?Colonel Charles A.
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.

MAY t'LRB FUTURE FLIGHTS
(internment Likely to Take Hand lit
Look Distance Air ('onteata
San Fram-usco, Calif., Aug. 22?
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.
Bright sunshine flooded Kansas on
Wednesday after two weeks of almost
incessant rain that/ promised
to raise the livers to flood stages
again. Salina, Kan., was fighting the
worst flood since 1<W when the
weather cleared and brought hopes
or receding water. Mont than 73
City -blocks in Wichita were under
water.

HUGE OIL FIELDS ]Sealed
By Navy Department For
Emergency Needs
Washington, Aug. 20.?The naval
oil reserves leased by Albert B. 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
