BORLAND'S BODY
IS FOUND IN SNOW
Hope That EieIson and Aide
Escaped Death in Crash
on Tundra Is Blasted.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
POINT BARROW, Alaska, February
1.-THE fate of Carl Ben Eielson, noted
Arctic flyer. and Earl Borland, his COM
panion. was definitely established today
with the receipt of radio advices tell
ing Of the finding of Borlands body
buried in the snow at the spot near
North Cape, where their plane crashed
November 8.
Recovery of Borland's body removed
any doubts that the men had persisted,
although death of the flyers had been
accepted as a certainty following the
finding of the scattered wreckage of
the plane.
Advices relayed from Pilot Harold
Gillian. who had been at the scene of
the wreckage, said Borland's body was
located last Thursday under feet
of snow. It lay near the engine, which
had been hurled 100 feet from the
wrecked ship.
Indications were that Borland was
killed instantly when the plane struck
the tundra, travelling at high speed, and
searchers said Eielson also must have
been killed outright.
Borlands body was removed to the
camp Of tents and snow houses main
tanned by the 10 men conducting the
search and will be sent tomorrow to
the icebound motor ship Nanuk at
North Cape.
The hunt for Eielson's body was re-
sumed today after an interruption Of
three days due to storms.
It was while flying to the Nanuk to
transport passengers and furs to Nome
that the plane crashed last November 8.

There is nothing wrong with the

The motorists and pedestrians will
just have to get into the habit of the
lights and help instead of hinder the
orderly flow of traffic about Thomas

before the public gets used to them
and the tangles of traffic are eliminated

The lights went off again this morn
ing when the flow of trafic along the
streets that feed into the circle became
hopelessly tangled. Traf1c was delayed
as much as 10 minutes at times, while
second precinct policemen struggled to
clear the circle. The lights went on
again when the morning rush hour had
passed.
When they went back on this morn
