AMELIA SEARCH 1S COSTING U. S. $250,000 A DAY

3400 Men and 220 Officers Actively Engaged in Hunt for Fliers.

By United Press | WASHINGTON, July 6. — The | United States Government is spend[ing an estimated $250,000 a ‘day in

[ Fred Noonan, a survey of Navy and

| Coast Guard activities showed to- |

|'day. More than a half dozen warships,

{ | scores of airplanes and thousands [of Navy

officers and men are engaged in actual searching opera- | tions. In addition, the Navy communications system has ordered wireless operators to stand by continuously at every radio station where there is ‘a possibilty that signals from the Earhart plane may be picked up. Part of the time of the personnel | of the Pearl Harbor and San Fran-

and the Navy Department here, is being devoted to direction of the wide-spread search. Navy officials said that the $250 - [000 estimate probably would net | cover the daily cost if pay of officers land men, commercial against radio equipment, nd | operating ‘costs of all vessels were | taken into consideration. They said | there was no method of estimating | the amount of extra cost of the search, over and above normal ex- | penditures.

3620 Aid in Search

A tabulation of the Navy personnel and ships actually engaged lin the search showed the followme. The airplane carrier Lexington, [en route to the scene of the search | carries 1899 men and 150 officers. The Navy Department here had not been informed of the number of planes aboard the Lexington. The battleship Colorado, en route from Honolulu to Howland Island, | carries 930 men, 45 officers and | three airplanes. The three destroyers engaged in the search carry approximately 115 men and five or six officers each. The mine sweeper Swan carries approximately 50 men and four officers. The Coast Guard Cutter Ttasca carries 115 men and five officers.

Albert Dyer ” ” 4

Confessed Killer of 3 C

| By United Press | LOS ANGELES, July 6.-—Albert Dyer, who confessed the murder of three small Inglewood girls, today offered to swap a guilty plea for a job in the prison barbershop in an effort to escape the gallows or lethal | gas chamber, “If T plead guilty they can only give me life and I can do barbering work in prison,” the 32-year-old | relief worker said after making a | ew and more complete confession. However, District Atporney Burton Fitts refused to consider such a course and said he would place the case before the Los Angeles County grand jury tomorrow and ask an early trial. “T will ask a first-degree murder indictment and demand the death | penalty” said Fitts, “There will be [no trading.” | Th his new and more elaborate | confession Dyer told of kneeling by | the bodies of his victims and offering [up a prayer. | “I knelt Gown by each one=one | by one—and prayed.

Prayed in Order of Deaths

| He prayed in the order mn which [he killed and attacked the girls. | “I said: ‘Oh Lord forgive my sins [and what I have done.” | Then, the slight, dark-haired | WPA school guard, told police he walked home over the hills suar= [rounded the hidden ravine, leaving

| the bodies of his victims, each with |

| parrot tied about the neck.

| Before leaving the scene he

with changes and elaborations, the story of the killings. Parts of his confession were cor roborated from other sources, George Reiley, real estate operator with an office near the Baldwin Hills, told of seeing the three girls and Dyer trudging toward the ravine. Mis. Kaneo Mizutani, owner of a grocery where the girls bought candy, also saw them go toward the hills. Dyer said one of the girls was reading a “Mickey Mouse” book in the park when he accosted them. Madeline's parents confirmed she had taken this book with her Saturday. Dyers wife, Isabel, stoutly insist= ing upon her husband's innocence, was still held in jail as a material witness. Authorities said this was for her own protection until feeling in Mglewood cooled a bit.

BURGLAR DUMPS

(CANNED FOOD ON

KITCHEN FLOOR

North Side Residents Say Red-Headed Woman Entered Homes.

A burglar who entered the home of Miss Alice Van Note, 23, of 1644 Arrow Ave. through a transom last night, ransacked the house, emtied the contents of all the drawers and dumped canned goods on the kitche en floor. Miss Van Note could not estimate the loss. A red-haired woman was hunted today in the theft of $204 from the home of Maj. A. Riddle, 5744 Wash« ington Blvd. According to two maids in the home, the woman entered the house and went to the second floor, where Mr. Riddle was sleeping. She res turned immediately, dropped Mr, Riddles trousers at the foot of the stairs and crossed the street to an auto in which a man was waiting, The maids said they thought she was a friend of Mrs. Riddle and did not question her,

Description Corroborted

H. S. Sheppard, 60, of 4720 Cols lege Ave, said a woman answering the same description had appeared earlier at his home. He found her standing in the living room, he said, and she left when he started questioning her. Hadde told police that burglars who broke into his house at 1201 Park Ave. yesterday took a radio valued at $25, a sewing machine valued at $98, a ring, a watch and a child's bank. James Dunnigan, Newark, N. J, told police that a man and a woms= an yesterday stole tools valued at $300, a traveling bag and clothing, The pair, Dunnigan said, had picked him up in an auto in Cincinnati and brought him te Indianapolis. After dropping him off downtown, the couple, who had promised to return, never showed up, he said, E. A. Gingham, 313 BE.
