MISSING SINCE
SATURDAY In
ALASKA SHOWS

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Nov. 6. WG
Three veteran Alaskan pilots, their
eyes already bloodshot by gruelling
search of the rugged, snOw-laden
mountain wilderness between Fair
banks and Dawson, Y. T.. for the
Northern Air Transport Liner, miss
ing since Saturday with Pilot Jack
Herman. and five passengers aboard,
today impatiently awaited lifting fog
so they could continue their search.
Heavy fog, which settled over the
northern Alaska and the Yukon ter
ritory yesterday, suspended search
for the liner. The plane has not been
seen since taking off from Dawson
for Fairbanks Saturday noon. 1t was
due to arrive at Fairbanks Satur-
day evening.
Passengers who boarded the plane
with Herman at Dawson were Peter
Funk, Walter James, George Wown-
send Okie Ogren and Oscar Adams.
While the searching party, organ
lied by Victor Ross, head of North
ern Air Transport, waited at Fair
banks airport watching the fog
billowing over the field, a similar
group was waiting at Dawson to be-
gin search from that end of the air
line.
Weather bureau officials pointed
out that Arctic fogs sometimes last
several days.
Ross believes Herman and his pas
sengers are safe. Herman likely
ran into fog and made forced land
ing" Ross said. The ship is equip
ped with skis, so it is able to land
or take off on snow. imagine Her.
man landed in spot where he can't
take off again. The plane carried
enough emergency rations to last for
several days"
The searching planes, piloted by
Ross, Herman Lerdahl and Bill Law
cry, are all ski equipped. They are
carrying food supplies, blankets and
first aid kits.
A plane piloted by Arthur Hines
with three passengers aboard dis
appeared August 10, along the same
lonely 300-mile route fran DaW-
son to Fairbanks. Hines plane has
not been seen since taking off from
Dawson.
