One other was wrecked at Carswell Air Base at Fort Worth, Tex., when the 163-ton plane plunged into a lake at the end of the runway in an attempted takeoff. Other rhishaps concerning the B-36’s have been of minor na- ture. (In Washingten, the Air Force identified the passenger as Lt. Col.} Daniel V.

They said they held scant hope that the big plane could remain afloat long in the gale-swept, icy strait, and survival of the 17 aboard would depend on whether they launched their life rafts in time. 9 RCAF In Search The R.C.AF. said it planned to send nine planes into the search d g the forenoon, when the near zero-zero visibility in the area is expected to lift somewhat. Two Lancasters from Edmonton will form part of the Canadian effort. - A dozen B-29's were ready to take off from Spokane, Wash., and Great Falls, Mont. Seven B-29's which searched yesterday bypassed Spo- kane last night because of fog and continued to Great Falls on the re- turn trip. ports of search planes preparing to head into the Pacific northwest. Planes from Maxwell Field, Ala., Selfridge Field, Mich., Denver, and I El Paso, Tex., have been earmarked } for the hunt. Surface Craft Search Only searching conducted through the wind and fog last night was by Canadian and American Coast Guard surface craft. The plane was the second south- bound B-36 in as many days to ex- perience difficulty in the same rug- ged British Columbia coastal area. IA B-36 wobbled in from there and sat down at McChord Air Force Base near Tacoma Monday. A northbound B-36 turned back to McChord Monday, also. .An accompanying B-36 had re- layed messages from the crippled plane and flew on instruments for nearly an hour trying to see or # contact it. Then it continued to Carswell Air Force Base at Fort Worth, Tex. S. E.

Reports from Southeast Alaska last night indicates one or both of the planes may have circled over the small fishing villages of Kla- wock and Craig, on Prince of Wales Tsland some 60 miles west of Ketchi- kan. Time of the labored dronings of the plane or planes was estab- lished as about an hour before the final distress messages . from the missing ship. Prince of Wales Island is about 100 miles north of the Queen Char- lotte area where the plane is be- lieved to have ditched. Capt. Harold L. Barry, Hillshoro, Ill, was the pilot.

This is the general area where the B-36 messaged be- fore midnight Monday it was com- ing down with an engine afire and wings iced. At least six vessels were dis- patched to investigate. But officials said the oil slick was in a shipping lane where such traces are common, and there was a strong possibility this one was caused by a vessel. The Coast Guard said another pilot had sighted an oil slick around a boat in the same general search area earlier yesterday. Wireless Signal The other clue a wireless sig- nal heard for an hour and a half after the B-36 made its last radio contact. Col. Cecil Carswell Air Scott, spokesman at Force Base at Fort where the big plane was bound on a training flight from Alaska, said the signal was “a con- tinuous tone—as though somebody had tied down the key of a wire- less set.” Search officials at McChord Air Force Base, Wash., declining to be quoted by name, expressed opinion crewmen of the B-36 may have locked the wireless key in closed position, put the plane on They said that if this was cdone the plane could have fiown a con- before it finally crashed.
