PLANE SURVIVOR IN WOR INTERVIEW

A tale of eleven lonely hours afioat in the waters of mid-ocean marked by simple heroism and slowly dying hope, was the dramatic narrative of First Officer Neil Rich- ardson, co-pilot of the flying boat Cavalier, as he spoke over WATR and the Mutual network Tuesday morning at 1l:45 in an exclusive in- terview. It was the first radio ap- pearance of any of the ten survivors who escaped the crash of the New York Bermuda airliner Saturday afternoon.
 Speaking slowly, with Q notice- ably British accent, Richardson re- lated the succession of events which filled the eleven fearful hours after the 20-ton flying boat settled be- heath the Atlantic swells more than 250 miles southeast of New York.
 Mutual listeners from coast to coast thrilled as he told of the lone- ly vigil and the extreme courage of the seven passengers despite the death of three companions. Once or twice during the long afternoon the group, clinging together on com mon life preservers, imagined they heard plane motors overhead. Then darkness fell. and with cold, dis couraging rain.
 Richardson, unhurried and pick ing his words carefully, described the passage of an unidentified ves- sel a few miles of on the horizon and the resultant despair which settled upon the survivors, broken only when the "Esso Baytown" hove into sight, her searchlights failing the darkness.
 The broadcast. conducted by Dave Driscoll of WOR-Mutuals Special Feature Division, was repeated again at 500 D. m. for WATR listeners who missed the first broadcast.
