America's No. 1 woman flyer, and her navigator, Fred Noonan. The pair had been forced down before completing the 2,570-nnIhop from New Guinea to Howland island, a "leg of their flight. Signals received from the hapless flyers were so weak that it was impossible to toll whether they were alloat at sea or marooned on some tiny island, and as the days passed it became doubtful that many of the radio messages which served as clues for the searchers were from the two at all. Storms over the area of the sea in which they were believed lost hampered searchers and minimized possibilities of a rescue. So alarmed was the world at the loss of Amelia and her companion, the United States even sent out the giant aircraft carrier Lexington with 93 planes aboard, which, it was said, could explore an area of Jti.OOO square miles in tive or pOUR es.i-mate- ury.

One of the allegedly unfair practices to which the U. A. W. A. objects is distribution of literature by the Ford company to its employees.
