Wash., December 21 IA>).—A National Guard pilot ad vised Felts Field by radio today that he ha<f sighted what he be lieved to be wreckage of the missing Northwest Airlines trans port plane near Calder, Idaho.VA pilot and co-pilot were aboard the airship when It disappeared early Friday. The brief message said only that he had found the ship, and that he could not determine whether Pilot Joe Livermore and Co-Pilot Arthur A. Maid were alive. E' the Associated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, December 21. —The Wintry West locked the fate of nine missing persons in its cold and snow today as Western Air Ex press officials, posting a $1,000 reward, announced a search "on our own” for one of two planes seven days after It disappeared. Admitting “every clue exhausted" the officials offered the reward, ef fective until noon, January 4, for dis covery of the Las Angeles-Salt Lake transport, lost with five men and two women since Tuesday. The ship, last reported over Mil ford. in Southwestern Utah, is sought In that vicinity and northward and East Central Nevada. Five hundred miles Northwest Ranger M. T. Olmsted turned the hunt to a new sector in North Idaho for Pilot Joe Livermore, Co-pilot A. A. Haid and their Northwest airlines transport, missing since Friday. Last Report Over Idaho. Livermore made his last radio report over Elk River, Idaho. The search had centered between there and Spokane. Olmsted said, however, the transport flew low over the forest service station at Calder, 40 miles north of Elk River. Friday, then turned west toward Spokane. Similar reports by three other Calder residents prompted extension of the land and air search to the Calder region today. But Pilot Roy Shreck, saying “we combed every ridge and canyon in the Calder area,” discounted the new lead. One thousand C. C. C. enrollees, Army officers and enlisted men were assigned to comb mountainous sections of Utah over which S. J. Samson may have piloted the Western Air Express plane. They were part of 8.200 men placed at disposal of airline officials by Brig. Gen. Walter C. Sweeney, com mander of Fort Douglas, near Salt Lake City. a dozen planes continued an aerial search. "We have exhausted every clue, and now we are going to work on our own estimate cf what Pilot Samson may have done,’’ Allan Barrie, company Vice president, said. Messages “Amateur Calls.’* “We believe now the messages heard here, at Kingman. Ari%. and at Las Vegas, Nev., Saturday was merely some amateur calling ‘George at Salt Lake,’ not ‘St. George, Utah, or Salt Laie,’ ” Barrie explained. In Ut£h. reported “lights" turned cut to be welding operations along a railroad. In Western Nevada Pilot Ralph Hall, after checking reports of I “desert flares," doubted the plane had reached that region. _ FOUND. EaDY'S POCKETBOOK; contains money and earrines.

Over her dressing table at 16 Cumberland terrace is, or was (the place is empty now), a triple mirror, I would like to describe the home V which Wallis Simpson lived, but I And I am entering It through the boudoir. This is no place for a man. Let’a go downstairs. Or better yet, let's go outside and look the place over before we enter through the front door. Pictures of her "residence" have appeared in vari ous mediums of public Information. One saw a vast, palatial structure of Grecian persuasion, with half a hun dred windows, a Corinthian facade and a general neo-Grand Central, early American penitentiary atmos phere that staggered the man on the street. An Apartment House. The captions were correct. That was a picture of her home, all right. But the photographers overlooked the fact that it was the home of nine other happily circumstanced London ers as well. It was. in brief, the Lon don version of a Park avenue apart ment house, and Mrs. Simpson's home might well be compared with an American duplex apartment. It faces a vast public park and is very quiet. Hurrying through the throng of newspaper men and idlers standing outside, I stepped through the quickly opened door. Peering through the glass curtains at this per sistent halo of the press a few hours later, Wallis’ aunt, Mrs. Bessie Merry man. remarked: “Why can’t they go away and let us alone. They’ve driven Wallis away from here.” I understood and sympathized with her attitude. “But Aunt Bessie,” I reminded her, “remember, they’re doing no more than their Job. When you come right down to it, I’m a newspaper man, too.” A Home Behiid the Door. You enter 16 Cumberland terrace through a grilled glass door and find yourself in a typical small English “house.” On the left is the dining room and beyond is the study, oc cupied mainly by Mrs. Simpson’s sec retary, a very busy person handling all the fan and crank mail wjth ad mirable sang froid. There is no one in all her retinue that Wallis does— and must—trust more than this English girl. Against the right-hand wall of the hall stands one of the most extraor dinary mirrors I ever saw. Ten feet square, it is made of a series of seg ments of mirrors set at 90-degree angles perpendicularly.

Wallis Simpson's living room was a true index to its chate laine. Dieu et mon droit. That was the motto on a solid gold inkwell standing on an antique boule walnut desk. It means “God and my right." It is the motto of English sovereigns and was chosen by Rich- j ard I as his password in the battle of Glsors in 1198. Perhaps it has an added significance now. The whole room, curtains, carpets, woodwork and walls, is done in French green, a green with a bluish cast. There is a full grand piano (she plays it fairly well). There is a beau tiful antique walnut secretary as the centerpiece of the west wall. The fireplace, fed with coal from a brass bound mahogany wine cooler, stands at the end of the L. Three windows look out upon the park. There is a comfortable sofa beside the fireplace, a love seat near the piano. Seven chairs complete the seating, arrange ments. Four of these are upholstered and three stiff-backed. Casual tables, each a gem of its type, are where they do the most good. Furnishings in Exquisite Taste. A lowr fire seat, with a lovely antique brocade, stands before the hearth. And by the door, shielding the far end of the room, is an antique Chinese screen of gold and silver lacquer, de picting a woodland rendezvous of graoeful deer. Exquisite is the only word that could describe the final appointments of this room. Rare pieces of jade are advantageously placed. On the table at your elbow is an invaluable snuff box containing your cigarettes and a French wine taster to receive your ashes. The seven lamps in the room are shaded in rosy vellum. Books, beautifully bound in hand tooled leather, are casually available. And then there are the flowers. Flowers Found Everywhere.

Fresh ones come every day.” Another straight flight of stairs leads to Wallis’ bed room. A large but simple French bed with a bro caded cover stands at right angles to the door. Telephones are on a ta ble beside it and there is a gadget with push buttons for the servants. The dressing table faces the bed at the opposite end of the room, and above its triple mirror hangs an an tique star-faced clock. Wallis is a very punctual person. Two or three chairs and a chaise longue complete the furnishings. A dressing room and a bath room complete the third-floor suite. On the walls of the dressing room hang simply framed photographs of Edward VIII in various phases of his pre-regal career—in groups, in single studies, in uniform and in mufti. The fourth floor is a simplified ver sion of the third, and it is thence that Aunt Bessie has climbed with moans and grumbles ever since she came to England to chaperon her favorite niece. This is the picture of Wallis Simp son's home. It is dismantled now. And as my mind runs back over it, it dwells upon a miniature of Wallis Simpson—slim and dark and enigmatic—that stood on a table beside the living room chair in which the King was wont to sit. I wonder where it is now. (Copyright. 10U6, World Rights.) PRESIDENT*™ RECEIVE GREETING FROM SCOUTS Messages to Be Delivered Before Christmas Tree Is Lighted in Lafayette Park.

By the Associated Press. SELSEY, England, December 21.— Mme. Marie Schemeder. sought by French police for ahooting her co pilot during a flight over Villacoublay yesterday, was ordered held on a technical charge today after crashing her plane in a Sussex field. British authorities detained the woman flyer, wife of a wealthy French machine manufacturer, after French police reported a warrant for her ar rest had been issued at Versailles. Mme. Schemeder fled from France In the same plane in which she was alleged to have shot Pierre L'Alle mant, her co-pilot, during a flight Sunday morning. Several hours later, after the trans channel trip, she brought her ship down in a Sussex field, damaging the plane in the landing. Slightly dazed by a cut in the head, she told English officials her name was Chappelut, al though she carried no passport. British authorities said they were advised by French police Mine. Schemeder had shpt L’Allemant in the back of the head while he was making his first flight at the controls of the plane owned jointly by the two flyers. He told French police he managed to land the ship after the assault, crawled out of the plane and left Mme. Schemeder inside. She immediately took off for an un disclosed destination, which ended with the crash In Sussex. Mme. Schemeder was under official observation at a farm house near Selsey, where doctors kept her in bed as.she recovered from shock. “She is not seriously ill,” a con stable explained, “but it is advisable that she remain in bed. “She has talked by telephone with friends in Paris. Other friends from London are with her now.” The constable declared that If French police pressed extradition Mme. Schemeder would be required to appear in a London magistrate's court.

B. Merryman. her "Aunt Bessie," will have a quiet family Christmas party. Mrs. Simpson, composed and seem ingly in excellent spirit, seemed amused at some of the reports of her comings and goings and when the group broke up, teasingly announced: "Perhaps you would be interested to know—that I shall go for a drive this afternoon.” Welcomes Correspondents. Mrs. Simpson, escorted by Mrs. Rogers, stepped into the gardens and welcomed each visitor with a warm greeting and a firm handclasp. Her callers were presented by Rogers. She seemed to be In excellent health and spirits and completely composed. Her only sign of nervousness was an occasional daubing of her lips with her handkerchief. She proved to be a witty conversa tionalist and a good listener. When she asked courteous questions con cerning her guests, as she did fre quently. she waited for the answers as though intensely Interested. Her costume was an agreeable com bination of blues and browns. She wore a tight-fitting sky-blue sport skirt and an open-throated blue-and brown plaid jacket over a deep-blue pullover sweater. Her alligator skin oxfords had me dium height walking heels. A brooch she wore at the neck of her .sweater resembled the three feathered insignia of former King Ed ward when he was the Prince of Wales. It was an arrangement of al ternating light and dark-blue petals and was complemented by earrings to match. She wore one broad ring covered with sparkling stones and a gold chain bracelet, from which dangled six little emerald and amethyst crosses. Her lips were scarlet, but her finger nails were not tinted. Seems Demure at Times. Throughout most of the conversa tion Mrs. Simpson remained standing, first under an orange tree and then along the vine-covered wall of the terrace which leads down to the sea. Mrs. Simpson, slim and small, seemed very demure at times. The woman who shook an empire exhibited as much curiosity on what was going on outside the villa as the neighbor hood has shown for what was taking place inside. Her manner of speech shows no dis tinguishable accent, although it is more American than British and more Southern than Northern. Not what she says, but the way she speaks, contributes most to her charm. In the same way it is her graceful carriage more than her figure and her smile more than her features which convey her beauty. DROPS FLAGS NEAR EDWARD World War Flyer Reveals He Piloted Plane Over Castle. ENZESFELD, Austria, December 21 </P).—Julius Arigl, Austrian World War ace, disclosed today It was he who piloted the plane which flew over Edward, Duke of Windsor, Sunday and dropped flags all about the grounds of the castle of Baron de Rothschild. "I dropped Austrian, British and the Rothschild family flags as a token of a soldier’s affection for this sympa thetic former ruler,” said the aviator, adding that police had dissuaded him from his plan to drop a great wreath as near Edward as possible. The wreath just might hit the Duke, Arigi said the police pointed out. Workers and peasants hereabouts are in many little ways trying to show Edward they approve of him. Some send him simple gifts and poems. Others send fresh trout, be cause they have been told Edward likes nothing better. It was learned the former King of England dined on trout Sunday night when the British Minister Walford was one of the castle guests. Later. Edward and his hostess, the Baroness Rothschild drank a quantity of "bruderschaft,” an Austrian ritual wherein the drinkers pledge everlast ing friendship to each other. Unconfirmed but persistent reports circulated that Edward’s marriage to Wallis Warfield Simpson had been discussed by Austrian authorities on the presumption it would be held in Salzburg or Vienna in June.
