SOVIET MERCY
PLANES MEET
WITH GRIEF

NOME, Alaska, April 2. U.P)-
Two powerful ENERGY airplaneS,
sent out to rescue 81 Russians ma
rooned on Boring Sea ice floes,
were stranded themselves today by
fog and snow in widely separated
Arctic territory.
The first plane of the expedition
was down on Kolyuchin Island with
broken propeller and with one of
its crew injured. The second plane,
which set out to aid the other, was
turned back by the storm and was
forced to land at Teller, SO miles
from Nome.
A radio message from Kolyuchin
Island, near the Siberian coast, in
dicated that Commander Sigmund
Levonetsky injuries were not SER
ious. He flew the plane which car
ried Prof. George Ushakorff, leader
of the rescuers, and Clyde Armis-
tead, an American mechanic.
Commander Mauritz Slepneff and
Mechanic Bill Lavery were in the
other plane, which carried repair
parts and supplies for Levonetsky s
ship. Slepneff advised headquar-
tiers here that he planned to resume
his trip to Kolyuchin as soon as
the weather became favorable.
Meanwhile the Russians on the
ice floes cleared a landing place for
the planes. The Soviet government
also has sent out another aerial
expedition and ship to aid the
men whose ship was wrecked in
February.
MOSCOW, April 2. U.R) - The
stranded crew of the CheliuSkin re-
ported by wireless today that all
was we'll at their camp on the ice
floes. They have cleared new
landing field for their aerial res
cuers.
A few days ago they killed a
large she-bear which provided well
come fresh meat. The ice floe on
which the camp is situated has
been carried Is kilometerS to the
northwest by southern winds.

cheaper than wines coming from the

from the old couDtry are equally as good
