WASHINGTON. Nov. l3.-The

Jr.. who was a companion of
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker. whose
plane disappeared in the Pacific

The War Department made no
amplification of the statement
other than to say Cherry was in
fairly good condition and that
his only trouble was weakness
from exposure in liferaft at sea
for three weeks.
1t is presumed, though the
War Department did not COM
ment on it, that other members
of the crew in the plane, includ-
ing Rickenbacker, may be adrift
in other liferafts and therefore
a search over a wider area has
been instituted by the War De-
