Honolulu, Dec. 15. The whole of the resources at the disposal of the au- thorities here are being thrown into the search for the missing

trans-Pacific airmen, Charles Ulm and his two companions.

It is one of the greatest searches ever attempted; certainly the most intensive of any organised by Hawaiian departments.

There are twenty-two army and Davy planes in the

air almost every daylight hour and twenty- one naval surface craft, plus an undetermined number of com mercial vessels.

As yet not a trace of the fliers has been found, though the search has gone on for more

than 24 hours.
