One Rumor False | Later Sergeant Monagle learned | that George Messerschmidt’s son George, 14, and Ronnie Hildre, son of Mrs. Arnold Hildre, had left vesterday for a camping trip at the Salmon Creek Dam, Police Officer Fred Bond recall- ed a conversation with four boys about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon |at Second and Seward. - The small- | est of them could have been an | eight-year-old, he said. Bond tricd to dissuade the boys from their }pmpused climb of Mount Juneau Through cooperation of the For- | est Service, two skilled climbers | set out about noon today to search ! the slopes of Mount Juneau. Tony | Thomas, already famous for his | recovery of the body of a Navy | climber last year, was accompanicd |by Ranger Harold M. Stratton Another report was that the Rev Leo H. Sweeney had picked up two boys on the highway while on his | way to the Shrine of St. Tere This was thought unlikely, however, as the group camping there is one | of girls from the Catholic Parish| School. | Ellers, i Ronnie’s father, Roman spent much of last night search- ing in the neighborhood of the family’'s former home at the top| of Third Street. ! “Chum was strictly a ‘beach) man,’” said a Douglas friend to-! day, “and his folks had brought | him up with a healthy fear | bears. But Ronnie was used to the Juneau slopes, and might have ! suggested an expedition there.” Among the scores of volunteers 'who joined the search last night were Linn A. Forrest, Jr., and Earle Hunter, 3rd, who went up the Douglas ski trail. I Dozens of others whose names ! are not known, went out in boats |and cars, and on foot. Some went to Hickey’'s at Auk Bay, where Niemi sometimes sells fish. Others checked the highways, turned spot lights on beaches, and examined | spur roads. ‘ The Coast Guard put out ssmall boats in the search. i “We had no clue to work on iast night,” said Cavanaugh, “and there isn't much today. But we're noll going to miss a one.” Mayor Waino Hendrickson agreed | firmly to this.
