With regard to your article "Kudos" [TIME, June 28]: you fail to mention the fact that at the June 7 Commencement ceremony celebrating the soth anniversary of Occidental College, located in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, the college's greatest literary son, Robinson Jeffers, '05, was awarded an honorary Litt.D. Born the same year as Occidental (1887), Jeffers took his B.A. there at the age of 18. He also studied medicine at the University of Southern California, forestry at the University of Washington and literature at the University of Zurich. Occidental's is the only honorary degree...

They made mostly back page news until last fortnight when they started across 2,550 miles of Pacific Ocean toward tiny Howland Island, failed to reach it. Last week the likelihood was approaching sad certainty that Amelia Earhart Putnam had made headlines for the last time...
...planes had scanned more than 100,000 square miles. The Itasca, which inaugurated the search last fortnight, continued its futile patrol until fuel ran short. The minesweeper Swan put ashore a searching party at Canton Island, where last month a party of scientists viewed the | solar eclipse (TIME, June 21). Meanwhile the aircraft carrier Lexington, with 62 planes aboard (instead of 72 as first announced) and an escort of four destroyers, sped out of San Diego at forced draft, stopped in Hawaii to refuel, arrived in the search area early this week. If the Lexington's great fleet of planes...
