new HOPE SEEN
FOR LOST Filler

LONDON, Sept. 23-R- Hope
that Parker d. Cramer, American
airman, who was lost on a flight
from Detroit to Copenhagen, re-
mains alive fingered today.
On the request Of the American
embassy. the British B~roadcasting
company appealed TO ships In
North sea waters and rcsiSents OF
the Barren Orkney and Shetland
islands to keep a sharp watch for
Cramer and his radio operator,
Oliver Pacquette.
The radioed message said that
the wreckage Of Cramer's plane,
recently salvaged by the British
trawler Lord Trent. indicated the
possibility that the men might
have taken refuge on m Of the
uninhabited islands.
The Daily Mail pointed out that
what was taken for a flying suit
was found in the cockpit OF the
plane by the master Of the Lord
Trent. demonstrating to the news
paper that the pilot might have
been able to discard the suit and
leave the machine before 10 crash
ed.
The embassy acted on orders
from washington in response to q
plea OF william II. Cramer. brother
OF Parker, who believes that the
filters may be marooned on a re-
mote island and will remain there
unless rescued. The state depart
ment asked the embassy Whether
a search OF the Orkneys by air
plane would be feasible and what
would be the cost.
The Shetlands and the Orkneys
comprise about $50 islands. OF
which only about one-sixth are in
habited. Nothing edible grows on
the others and a castaway would
have to catch seabirds or fish to
escape starvation.
Cramer and Pacquette left the
Farce islands on August 9 In q
heavy storm and never were heard
from again. They were charting an
airmail route across the Arctic for
an American aviation concern. The
wreckage OF their plane was brought
into Hammerfest. Norway. several
days ago.
