FLYER MAY COME SOUTH
Plane Put Into 'Good Shape'
Hotel Manager Says Hop to Washington or Los Angeles Planned
OAKLAND, Jan. 12 (U.P.)– Amelia Earhart Putnam was asleep at Hotel Oakland tonight six hours after she landed on her fight from Honolulu to Oakland.
Orders were given the hotel management that she was not to be disturbed until further notice.
MAY CONTINUE FLIGHT
Sidney Bowman, a friend of Miss Earhart and George Palmer Putnam, had a room in the hotel. He professed to know nothing about Miss Earhart's plans for a continuation of her flight to either to Washington or Los Angeles.
Mechanics at Oakland Airport said they were checking over the trans-Pacific monoplane and would have it in "good shape" by midnight.
DEPENDS ON WEATHER
Miss Earhart, according to the hotel manager, said she plans to arise early. When she retired she said she will fly either to Washington or Los Angeles, with weather reports a determining factor in her decision.

FLYER'S IDEA HELD 'SILLY'
Amelia Earhart's Kin Tell of Opposition to First Plane Purchase
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 12. [[AP?]] ––
The man who against his will produced the $400 with which Amelia Earhart Putnam bought her first airplane conceded tonight that he was wrong when he said the purchase was "silly."
He is A. M. Earhart, 81-year-old uncle of the daring Mrs. Putnam, who arranged a loan on a house for her mother when she wanted to buy her first pane. The price was $400.
"I believed it was silly for her to buy a pane," he said. "I protested to her mother but I sent the money and soon received a picture of Amelia standing beside her first plane.
"And I'll say this for her: She has made it a winner. She certainly has been a success in flying."
Mr. Earhart said he was not alone in opposing a flying career for his niece.
"Ed, my youngest brother and Amelia's father, also believed the height of folly for her to learn to fly," he chuckled. "But he knew she was of an adventurous nature and he didn't believe it would last, so he finally adopted an indifferent attitude."

MISS EARHART APT PUPIL SAYS FLYING INSTRUCTOR
PUEBLO (Colo.) Jan. 12. AP–
When Amelia Earhart Putnam, first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean, completed her solo flight from Honolulu to Oakland today, no one was more elated than J. Gam Montijo.
It was Montijo who taught America's No. 1 woman pilot to fly in 1922 at Kinner Airport near Los Angeles.
Miss Earhart bought an inexpensive Kinner biplane, Montijo said today, and came to him for instruction.
"She proved to be an apt pupil," he said, "and soloed after seven lessons."
Montijo said Miss Earhart showed a keen interest in airplane mechanics and insisted on a thorough ex-planation of all the working parts of the plane.
After the seven lessons, which comprised about seven hours of actual instruction, she handled the plane like a veteran, the local pilot said.
AVIATRICE'S FLIGHT TRUE TO MAPPING
Straight as the proverbial arrow flew Amelia Earhart Putnam in winging her historic way across the Pacific.
Commander Clarence Williams, U.S.N., retired, so testified yesterday at Union Air Terminal, Burbank, as the world's ace woman pilot brought her Lockheed Vega plane to earth at Oakland and terminated her epochal flight.
To Commander Williams had fallen the distinction of charting Miss Earhart's course from Honolulu to the mainland.
Only once did Commander Williams receive a claw to the flyer's whereabouts en route. That was at 11:30 a.m., when the linear President Pierce of the Dollar Line, bound for Honolulu, radioed she had sighted Miss Earhart's plane 335 miles off California and gave its position.
Commander Williams thereupon checked the information with his map and found that she was only eighteen miles north of the course he had plotted for her.
Similar Flights Held Inevitable
OAKLAND, Jan. 12. [[(AP)?]] –– Com-mercial flights between Honolulu and California are entirely feasible, Amelia Earhart declared today after completing the trip in a mono-plane.
"Such flights are feasible," she said, "In fact, they are inevitable and we'll be flying everywhere within a short time."

PUTNAM OFF FOR BAY CITY
Husband of Amelia Earhart Sails From Honolulu After Hailing Her Success
[Copyright, 1935, by the United Press.]
HONOLULU (T. H.) Jan. 12. (U.P.)
George Palmer Putnam, publisher and husband of Amelia Earhart Putnam, sailed for San Francisco today abroad the liner Lurline, after saying he planned to celebrate his wife's victory over the Pacific Ocean "by going to bed early" aboard ship.
Putnam was overjoyed at the success of Miss Earhart in spanning the 2400 miles between here and Oakland in the first solo flight ever made between Hawaii and the mainland.
"Swell job, but don't make it a habit," the publisher cabled his wife.

miles off the coast. He said she was to have decided then whether to head for Los Angeles as an alternative stop.
Miss Earhart's Wheeler field takeoff was a classic. Her secret preparations for the hop were given a sudden setback when a tropical downpour came making the army field soggy with mud during the early afternoon. Nearly every one took it for granted that she would not attempt to lift the heavily laden plane from a slithery runway.
But at 4:30 p. m., just after the rain let up, an automobile containing Miss Earhart, Putnam, and Lieut.
George H. Spearhawk rolled up to the hangar.
Motor Warmed Up.
Her swift red monoplane, already fueled and equipped, was wheeled out and the motor started. A naval weather report indicating gradually clearing weather, but varying wind prospects ahead.
The famous aviatrix gave her ship a close inspection, clambered into the cockpit and tested her motor and array of instruments.
Putnam stuck his head inside the cockpit for a final word. It was obvious that they already had said their real farewell at Spearhawk's home, where Miss Earhart rested for the ordeal.
She waved her hand and smiled at the crowd of about 200 and taxied into position.
The glittering propeller bit into the light wind as the motor took a heavy feeding of fuel.
Virtually full of nothing but gasoline and instruments, it weaved down the field, slinging a stream of mud behind it. Three thousand feet of this and it leaped into the air at 9:15 p. m., Chicago time, last night. It started to settle and appeared about to touch the earth.
Fear of Takeoff Crash.
Veteran airmen gasped. A bobble then might have meant fire and disaster. But Miss Earhart kept its head up and it began to gain speed and climb. She lost little time striking out for Diamond Head, the last point on the route.
In six minutes she was 2,000 feet

mained in his position, no more government funds would be provided for projects pending.
This was a pretty serious thing and hard to understand, because Mr. Moses, though he had the effrontery to run as the Republican candidate for Governor last fall, is recognized as a man of highest character, with a fine record of public service.
----
INDIGNATION ROUSED IN NEW YORK PRESS
In the absence of any explanation, this position of Mr. Ickes aroused great indignation in New York and some scathing editorials appeared in the newspapers. They seemed merely to stiffen him in his determination that Mr. Moses must go, if more money was to be had.
The surprising thing about this is that it is not at all in character for Mr. Ickes, who, whatever his faults, is non-political in the administration of his several jobs--more so, perhaps, than any other member of the Cabinet--so much so, in fact, that he is understood to stand very poorly, indeed, with Mr. Farley, the great surplus creator, and his high-minded assistant, Mr. Hurja.
----
MOSES DECLARED TO HAVE SIDED WITH AL SMITH
Now it seems that it is not Mr. Ickes at all who cherishes the personal grudge against Mr. Moses, but Mr. Roosevelt himself. At least, such is the story printed in a number of papers last week, along with quite a lot of evidence.
The statement is that Mr. Roosevelt
[[column cut off]]
there seems otherwise no adequate or even plausible explanation for his hostility. No reason of any sort for the action of Mr. Ickes has yet been advanced.
In brief, it seems reasonable to deduce that Mr. Ickes's attack on Mr. Moses is inspired by Mr. Roosevelt, and the criticism to which Mr. Ickes is being subjected should, in reality, be leveled at his chief. The implications are not pleasant. Perhaps there [[typo in source]] is some other explanation. If so, the friends of Mr. Roosevelt should at once make it public, as the story does not reflect credit on the President.

Numerous Washington dispatches have reported that he plans to run for President in 1936, and today's statement by the Senator was construed by some political observers as his first play for the colored vote.
While Huey paraded barefoot about his three-room suite in the Hotel New Yorker he was asked if he knew that Joseph A. Davis, 65 years of age, a Negro preacher in the heart of Harlem, was the principal organized of a Long club.
"Can the Negro vote in the North?" he countered. "Well, they can become members of the clubs. In fact, we want them. They don't vote in the South, you know."

was south of her course and communicated with radio stations ashore to aid her with directions.
Knowing she was not far off, and headed in the right direction, Miss Earhart resolutely pointed the nose of her ship eastward and pounded on.
NORTH OF MONTEREY
When she finally sighted land, it was thought she was in the vicinity of Santa Cruz, but subsequently developments proved her to have been considerably north of Monterey Bay. Those waiting at the airport were unaware of this, however.
That was the reason she surprised aviators and spectators who were getting stiff-necked scanning clouds which reflected a mid-day sun with dazzling brilliance. When she finally appeared from the lower end of the bay, driving straight toward Oakland Airport at an altitude of scarcely 200 feet, a gasp of surprise arose from the throng.
Another gasp arose when she dove straight at the runway without a circle of the field. it is not contrary to regulations, but it is customary to circle the wind sock, test the landing direction and then slide to earth in the teeth of the breeze.
CROWD AMAZED
There was none of that for the woman conqueror of the Atlantic and Pacific. Evidently sighting the wind sock with the same casual glance that characterized the entire flight, she roared in and "sat" her plane down.
The crowd was so amazed, it was silent until she slid from her seat in the cockpit; then the cheers rolled forth.
STREAM AFTER HER
Miss Earhart ran the plane directly to the hangar which had been prepared for her, with the spectators streaming after her.
As the motor died and the cheers broke, the cockpit door swung open and the flyer's smiling face came into view. The response for her admirers was virtually deafening, in the midst of which she reached backward for a comb and ran it quickly through her hair.
Despite a matter of fact demeanor, however, Miss Earhart obviously was fatigued. She had given one hint of it during the night, confessing a tired feeling but then got her "second wind" and there was

Thousands surround the plane of Amelia Earhart, as she emerges from cockpit, after her arrival at Oakland Airport from Hawaii. Arrow points to Miss Earhart, who by this feat became first person to fly solo from islands to mainland. So great was the enthusiasm of the crowd to greet the aviatrix that at first it was feared they might rush into path of her whirring propeller. They had waited for hours to welcome her. Miss Earhart also showed the strain of her ordeal, saying, "I'm tired," as she got out of cockpit.
