on depression.
Ford, however, confined his dis
cussion of the meeting to his re-
mark that lit was Every pleas

What he did not say was re-
garded as more sifnifcant. In a
brief interview aboard the New

two-hour luncheon conferences
with the president, Ford said he
was convinced that the country is
"all right and will continue to be
all right"

Waldeck Expedition Re .
ports Finding Where
Plane Fell
NO DETAILS UNTIL
FAMILY IS ADVISED

GEORGETOWN, BRITISH
GUIANA, April %. (UP)-
The Waldeck expedition has
established definitely that the
aviator, Paul Redfern, miss
ing for more than ten years,
persisted in Venezuelan Jun
giles.
Expedition members said
they had located the place
where Redfern's plane crash
ed on the border of Veni-
zuela and British Guina while
on flight from Brunswick,
Ga, to Buenos Aires.
The Waldeck expedition was
composed of Theodore Waldeck,
New York, explorer; his wife;
William Aster Chanler, of New
York, and DR.. Frederick J. Fox,
of Boston.
The Waldecks said today they
had located the place where Red
ferns plane crashed on the Dor
der of Venezuela and British
Guina while on a flight from
Brunswick, Ga, to Buenos Aires.
They did not give details or say
whether they had found traces of
his remains, explaining that they
were bound by agreement to give
first details to the Redfern fam
lily.
Survivors of the Waldeck ex-
petition reached Georgetown af-
ter months in the jungle, during
which they suffered almost incred-
ible hardships while marooned by
flood waters on inaccessible DESC
late DEVILS Hole island, far up
the Cuyuni river.
Dr.. Fox died on the island.
The others fashioned a boat
from a tree while waiting for a
relief boat to reach the island.
Waldeck seriously injured his
hand while following out the log
and the wound took two weeks to
heal.
Mrs. Waldeck was i'll for three
weeks, poisoned by timed vege-
tables. >,
When the expedition was able
to push forw, ard, it was aided by
the Arawak Indians, who had
never seen white people before.
Mrs. Waldeck was accepted IN
To the sisterhood of the Arawaks
in a tribal ceremony during which
her left hand was cut by a glass
and sacred substance injected.
The ceremony involved a long
stand, bareheaded in the sun, ana
at it's end, she was declared &C
ceptable to the Indians.
