Because air search was retarded
by fog and generally inclement
weather, fast trucks were sent out
from Milford, Delta and Salt Lake
City to check emergency landing
fields and the rough terrain which
separate the fields 20 miles apart.
Air line officials were hopeful
that the big transport had made
forced landing safely at one of these
fields, which have no ground COM

ever, increased as the hours passed
without news.
Defying rain squalls and fog,
Pilot Fred Kelly set out in a search
to Salt Lake and land. Fog obscur-
ed the route over which he flew
and over which the missing ship
was travelling when it vanished.
Wolfe is an official of the United
Air Lines. Edwards was scheduled
to leave the plane at Salt Lake
while Christopher's destination was
Chicago.
The plane left Los Angeles at
11:15 pm last night.

Airline officials said they hoped
that Samson, possibly encountering
