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...

P. & M. J. Van Sweringen in March 1930, by Joseph R. Swan, then president of Guaranty Co. Mr. Swan's letter, introduced to prove that C. & O. really acquired no option but immediate control of C. & E. I., was an interesting sidelight on the dummy deal.
