Writer (oming fo Fish Tod Powell, long-time outdoor columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, expects to come to Jun- eau for good fishing about Septem- ber 1, according to word received by Steve Bancroft, Pan American pilot in the Pacific. Bancroft spent two weeks. fish- ing in the Juneau vicinity last month and has persuaded Powell and Joe Fessio, PAA Pacific-Alaska division sales manager, to join him on another trip. - All three-are ' fishing enthusiasts. They expect to be here about two weeks, Bancroft ‘skid. il ae Aaron Wise ‘of the Posey Manu- facturing Co.,"at Hoduiam, Wash., is at the Baranof Hotel. The company collects seed in Alaska for re-forestation in Euro- pean countries. It also does con- siderably re-forestation, scattering seeds by plane, for lumber com- panies in the States. Manning said his grandfather, C. H. Manning, established the enter- prise in 1871 at Fort Vancouver, which was then Oregon Territory The second generation Manning W. P.—is still associated in the busi- ness. Norway, Manning pointed out, has had particular success with spruce seed from this area and Iceland has found spruce and hemlock seed from Alaska superior to that form- erly imported from the Scandina- vian countries. On his present trip .to Alaska Manning said he was locating col- lection areas for seed shipments to Scandinavia of spruce, cedar, hem- lock, and lodgepole pine. Collec- tions will begin‘'when the seeds are ripe, probably the second week in September. From Juneau Manning will go to Haines, Cordova and the Kenai Peninsula. Dense Clouds Halt Search For Planes (See Page 1 for account of the Air Force bringing out four marooned explorers). Search operations for a missing Canadian Pacific Airline transport | and a missing Norseman aircraft in the Gulf of Alaska and St. Elias Range were almost at a standstill MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 1951 'Hope Dims - For Finding Lost Plane §ix Loggers, Pilot Miss- ing 2 Days Near Vancouver pracs VANCOUVER, B. C. Aug. ! — (M—The slim thread of hope for |the safety of seven persons aboard a missing Queen Charlotte Air- lines plane hung today on the chance it may have put down two % |days ago on an isolated beach. The chartered seaplane, carry- ing six loggers and the pilot, dis- appeared shortly before nooh Sat- urday on a 75-mile flight from Vancouver Island’s Muchalat Arm to the settlement of Tofina, both on the west coast. The island lies off the mainland of British Col- umbia. Nearly a dozen American crossed found seaplane. today. Resuce officials said there was a possibility the pilot, Capt. E. C. (Ted) Williams, Zeballos, B. C., might have been able to land on an inlet at a remote beach if his plane developed engine trouble. Williams was believed to have been flying an overland route close to the rugged coatsline. The airline identified the pass- engers as J. Palmer, ,K. Mugridge, L. Larson, A. Costley, C. Warne and R. L. Brown. Their home- towns were not known. Canadian and search planes criss- the area yesterday but no trace of the Norseman The search continued Hantord Elecied ‘Mayor af Wrangell Picnic Fred G. Hanford was elected today. Cloud ceilings of 800 to 1,000 feet that extended up to 14,000 fect | kept 21 search planes on the; ground this morning according to U. S. Coast Guard headquarters, | coordinating agency for the num- erous air groups in the search. Planes were in readiness to re-! sume flights as soon as weather | permitted. The Norseman, piloted by Maur- ice King, disappeared while en-| route from the main Arctic In-| stitute - canyy ~on ~Seward TGRCiel in the St. Elias Range. Aboard were Mrs, Walter A, Wood and daughter, Valerie, who had been| visiting Walter Wood. Wood is in charge of the research expedition, making glacier studies of Malas- pina and Seward Glaciers. King was due to return to Yakutat July 26 or 27 but failed to show up. Search operations for the Can- adian transport which was last reported off Cape Spencer at 11:17 p.m. July 20 were extended to in- clude the Norseman. Spotted Signal On Saturday, a C-47 aircraft of the 10th Rescue Squadron, Flight A, piloted by Lt. Col. Wallace Wal- ton, spotted a signal on thé snow at the Hubbard Glacier camp at the foot of Mt. Vancouver, which read “Norseman?”’ He.landed and picked up Wood; his 20-year-old son, Peter; Robert Bates of Exeter, N. H; and Nicholas Clifford, be- lieved to be from Minneapolis, Minn. The Woods ‘are from Far Hills, N. J. After breaking the news ol the missing Noresman to Wood as gently as he could, Colonel Walton flew the party to Yaku- tat. Maynard Miller, in charge of the Juneau Icecap Research Project, joined Wood. Together mayor of Wrangell in Juneau yes- terday at the first annual Wran- gell picnic held at the Auke Bay recreation. area. Named to the coungil were Dr. W. M. Whitehead, Lew . Williams, Sr, William H. Barrington and James Cauley. Mrs. M. O. John- son was elected the only member lof the school board and to Lew Williams, . Jr., went the dubious honor of dog-catcher. * Sucéessful candidates will"be the WOTR Aty aiid” commitiee to put on next year’'s picnic with the mayor as chairman. Sixty-eight ballots were cast which, as one wag peinted out, are as many as It sharply rebuked the military for wasteful manpower and ‘pro- curement practices, Mahon is chairman of a subcommittee that wrote the bill after several months of hearings. More than half the bill's total is for buying military “hardware” —tanks, planes, guns, rockets, weapons and other supplies for a military manpower force of 3,500,- 000. About $15,000,000,000 is for air- craft and component parts to give this country what the committee called “the most powerful striking force ever placed in the hands of any nation.” The overall objective of the huge outlay of funds, the committee said, includes: “Fo build sufficient forces as scon as practicable to act as a Geterent to further aggression; to create sufficient power to prevent disaster in the event war is forced upon us. A summary of amounts follows: Army: $20,125574,665, a cut of $685,321,500 from what it wanted. Navy: $15,552,143225, a cut of $194,272,000. Air Force: $19,854,128,000, a cut they flew in an Air Force plane over the possible routes that King might have taken on his fateful flight. Miller arrived back in Juneau yesterday. He had been associated with the Malaspina Glacier studies in 1948, the year the project was inaugurated. King had been the expedition pilot that year and for the succeeding years. Miller had flown with him a great deal. King Skillful Today Miller said, “Maurice King has a background of 23 years ski flying experience and over 8,000 hours in it. He is a resourceful pilot and we are pinning our hopes on that. It was known that Mrs. Wood planned to take some aerial photographs on the flight and for that reason King may have been off his regular route.” The aerial distance between the Seward Glacler camp and Yaku- tat is approximately 60 miles. Wood was stranded at the Hub- pard Glacier camp expecting the Norseman to return there and pick up his party. . ; In seeking both the missing air- craft, search flights were made Saturday from Cape Spencer northward to the Kenai Peninsula covering Gulf of Alaska water areas and also the glacier and mountain regions. All clues to the missing CPA plane have petered out. It was bound from Vancouver, B. C. to Anchorage on the first leg of a flight to Tokyo with 38 persors aboard. of $647,015,000. "Back Streef’ Election Tadics Probe Stymied WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, Prospects appeared dim today for any quick Senate action to halt election campaign tactics a sub- committee has denounced as “des- 1 picable.” Even Senators who favor such action said they need further study of the situation—and on a broader basis—before starting a drive for new legislation and a revision of Senate rules. These proposals were urged yes- terday by a Senate elections sub- committee which investigated tHe 1950 Maryland Senatorial election campaign. In that campaign Sen- ator John Marshall Butler, a Re- publican, defeated the veteran Millard Tydings, a Democrat, by some 43,000 votes. TIDE TABLES AUGUST 7 High tide 4:10 am, 155 ft.
