Souiet Representative Here, Fairbanks Bound,
 To Direct Rescue Search

he trusted Mattern would await his arrival in Fairbanks.
 The arrival of the Soviet repre- sentative soon spread around Ju- neau and many of his countrymen met him at the hotel and enter tained him last evening during his brief stay here.
 This morning he was up bright and early ready to leave for the air. port and eff for the interior by the PAA Electra.
 This morning Karabelnikoff and Vartanian breakfasted together and the latter said he did not know how long he would be in Fairbanks maybe one or two weeks. or one or two months; anyway until the search was ended.
 Vartanian also said two ice break CTS were now in the Arctic in a search for the missing fliers.
 Vartanian has been in the Unit ed States for the past three years as special representative for the Soviet government.
 The PAA plane that left at O. clock this morning for the interior was piloted by Jerry Jones and with Bill Knox, as co-pilot.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-08-16

A Vartanian, representative of the Soviet Government, who is to di- rect a search from Fairbanks, for the six missing Soviet fliers, Mos COW bound for the interior city, arrived in Juneau yesterday after noon at 5:15 o'clock and left by PAA Electra this morning for the metropolis of the Golden Heart of Alaska.
 Vartanian flew to Juneau from Ketchikan, in a chartered plane, pi- loted by Herb Munter. The two left Seattle Sunday morning shortly af- ter o'clock, arrived at Ketchikan at 2:15 o'clock and took the air again at 3 o'clock for Juneau.
 The plane came over Gastineau Channel right on schedule, came down and taxied to the Marine Air ways hangar.
 MT. Vartanian was greeted by an Empire reporter, an Associated Press representative, M. J Wilcox, representing the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, and Frank Karabel- nikoff, official interpreter.
 MT. Karabelnikoff quickly intro duced himself and then the other greeters.
 MT. Vartanian wanted to know how soon the plane would leave for Fairbanks" He explained that he was supposed to make close con- nections with a PAA plane here for the Interior.
 The Soviet representative was in- formed that the plane would not leave for Fairbanks earlier than 8::30 o'clock Monday morning This conversion took place in Russian, then he asked in English What will I do?"
 He was then informed that the best thing to do was to go to a hotel and await the departure of the plane for Fairbanks Monday morning.
 A Royal Blue cab was called and Mir Martanian and his baggage were transported to the Gastineau.
 While waiting for the taxi, Mir Vartanian explained that he was going to Fairbanks to direct any  rescue work ordered by the Russian government. He said that up to the time he left Seattle, no word had been received from Moscow regard ing the missing fliers.
 The Empire reporter informed him that Jimmy Mattern was mak- ing nonstop flight from Oakland to Fairbanks to join in the search. This was cheerful news to him as it was the first information he had Mattern was northbound. He said

Without some hint as to the po- sition of the missing plane. search for the over-the-pole flying Sov- tets is a very far chance" in the opinion of Pilot s. E. Robbins, one of the three Pacific Alaska Airways fliers who spent Saturday winging over the Arctic Coast in an effort to spot the lost ship.
 Pilot Robbins. and Pilot Walter Hall arrived in Juneau yesterday from Fairbanks. flying here with the PAA Electra that Pilot Joe CroSson and Hall had used Satur- day in the three-pronged search They are to return to the Interior with the plane tomorrow.
 Seconded by Hall
 Pilot Hall seconded Robbins statement, declaring that the three planes sent out by the Paa Satur- day had pretty much covered the Northern coast line of Alaska with out finding any trace of the lost Soviets. Further search by the PAA is unlikely unless some report of the planes being down in Alaska is obtained. both pilots stated. Tn case it is learned that the plane is down somewhere in Alaska or the Yukon, it is probable that all planes in the Fairbanks section will go out on blanket search" but oth- erwise finding the lost ship seems to depend upon what luck Jimmy Mattern and planes from the Rus sian end have.
