MISSING FLYER

MAY BE “WHITE GOD" As an expedition the other day began a 600-mile trip into (Brazil’s jungle to seek a “white god,” who may be Paul (Redfern, missing United States flyer, Mrs Redfern completed plans to ask leave to presume Redfern’s death. She will file her petition in Detroit. “ I singly want to know where I stand,” she tola a reporter. “ (Reports about Paul being alive have often proved to be deliberately false and, therefore, cruel. “ I have passed 10 years of my life assisting the searchers for Paul without giving up hope. Now I must look to the future.” Mrs Redfern, who is 30, plans to marry again. The jungle expedition—three men and one woman—is acting on a story of a “ white god who fell from the sky,” who is said to be worshipped by a tribe of South American Indians. Redfern disappeared in 1927 while flying from the United States to Brazil. The explorers, who set out from Georgetown, British Guiana, are Mr Thomas J. Waldeck, who accompanied the Martin Johnsons on some of their expeditions, his wife, William Astor Chanler, a scion of the Astor family, and Dr Fred Fox (Redfern’s father, a North Carolina doctor, has already spent a small fortune collecting information about his son’s fate. All along he has believed that he is still alive. Young Redfern was last sighted from a ship. He was then flying off the Guiana coast.
