NOTED PLANE PILOT
 MATT NINIEMAN
 RETURNS T0 ALASKA

Alaska's staff of remarkable air pilots which has been some what depleted for several months owing to the departure of Noel Vein and Bennett, the loss of Russell Merrill and now the tenn porary disappearance of Colonel Carl Ben Eielson, is considerably bolstered with the welcome arri- val in Seward Saturday, from the States, of Matt Ninieman who left Alaska after a colorful air car ger year ago.
 Ninieman was the pilot who shared with Noel Vein in the daring and heroic rescue, locating after relentless days of hazard .ouS searching, the Fox Film party which was snoWbound and nearly starved after being forced down in a flight to Point Barrow two years ago. Merrilps terrible exper- fence at that time and his long fight back to health, will never be forgotten by Alaskans.
