AMELIA EARHART ENTERS (By the Associated Press) Los Angeles, Aug. 29 -- Amelia Earhart, famed trans-Pacific
flier, today entered the transcontinental air derby and will
take off early tomorrow for Cleveland in the plane which she
flew solo from Honolulu to Oakland, Calif. Miss Earhart will be accompanied on the speed dash for the
Vincent Bendix trophy and $12,500 cash prizes by Paul Mantz,
her technical adviser. Miss Earhart's entry came as a surprise, as she had announced
the permanent retirement of her plane, which had been used
recently for charter flights only. After making the first solo flight ever negotiated from
Honolulu to Oakland, Miss Earhart flew non-stop in the plane
from Mexico City to New York.
