teéiday revealed his “unofficial sus-

picions that the long missing flier! |

‘might ‘have fallen into Japanese The college president said he had

previously remained silent “as al}

‘matter of honor because our rela-

tions were somewhat strained with |’

japan even on July 2, 1937.” With the presidents of the Unirsities of California, Colorado and Northwestern, Dr. Brittain was a ivilian guest of the navy on a ~ gruise to the Hawaiian islands. When the battleship Colorado reached the islands “we had a raogram from President Roosevelt “telling us to proceed toward the Solomons to search for the famous American woman flier because we were some - 2500 miles closer than the. Lexington, the famous aircraft

‘carrier that later joined the search,” |

Dr. Brittain said. “We discussed the Japanese mandated islands and the rumors that ie U. 8. government had sent pef‘gon after person to take a ‘look-see’ frying to discover whether or not the Japs were illegally fortifying their possessions. Many Soundings Taken “We got a very definite feeling ‘that Amelia Earhart had some sort of understanding with officials of the government that the last part of her voyage around the world ould be over those Japanese is- “ “ghe left Lae, New Guinea, for ‘Pearl Harbor. The last word of her was a stuttering message that her ‘gasoline was exhausted in the vieinity of Howland island. We took numerous soundings off coral reefs @s well as sending up our planes to search,” he said. . Mr. Brittain insisted the suspiions are his own, adding that he ~ *Broke his silence because it is no fonger a matter of honor to refrain from casting suspicions on the JapAnese.”

= NEW YORK, April 13 (U. P.)— Two Hoosiers paid tribute here yesterday fo Thomas Jefferson, whose

ff . birthday is today.

~~ Claude Bowers of Ft. Wayne, U. 8. _ Ambassador to Chile, sent a message to the conference on methods in philosophy and the sciences saying that the anniversary comes ab 4 time “when every ideal and. idea for which his, genius stood 35. being challenged in arms ‘by every - thing he hated.” He declared the third president “hated tyranny” because he stood for democracy, and’ “because he stood for the: dignity ‘of man, he hated tyrants.” .

“That fascist spirit which mani- |

fested itself in the alien and sedition laws,” Mr. Bowers said, “man- _ fests itself today in the fulminations and ambitions of the Hitlers, Mussolinis and Frances.” ~ Samuel B. Pettengill of South Bend, former Democratic congressman from Indiana and author of “Jefferson the Forgotten Man,” charged at a radio forum that some people today “wrap themselves in Jefferson's great mantle, praise him 10 his face, but stab his principles fo death as Brutus did, not that| love Jefferson less but Caesar
