Planes joined the search
today for a missing aircraft
and its occupants in Lake St.

icebreaker Acacia failed in an
all-night patrol to locate the
wreckage.
Authorities held little hope for
two persons believed aboard the
small plane when it plunged into
the ice-covered lake at 4:50 p. m.
yesterday.
TAKE UP SEARCH
Identity of the occupants and
home port for the plane remained
a mystery as all civilian and
military airfields in the Detroit
and Windsor areas accounted for
their ships and personnel.
The planes took up the search
at daybreak after the Acacia, its
Searchlights sweeping the water,
had patrolled the area from
Crosse Pointe Yacht Club to
Belle Isle throughout the night.
Selfridge Field officials sent
two planes. One was a BIZ me-
dunn bomber equipped with small
Skiffs that can be dropped onto
the water when the wreckage is
found. The other ship was an
LIS, a small but fast scout plane.

He died on the same scaffold
where John Amery, 33.year-old
son of a former British cabinet
member, was hanged Dec. 10 on
treason charges growing out of
similar radio activities.
Only small group of prison
officials saw Joyce plunge through
the trap. Under English law no
spectators may witness an execu-
ton.
Execution of the death sentence
was announced in two typewriter
sheets which were posted outside
the prison gates shortly after the
hanging.
Can ms account of the hang
ing said that Joyce played chess
up until the time the hangman
came to take him to the gal
lows. In the hours before that,
he also read considerably from a
book on metaphysics. Although
prison authorities had expected
some sort of public demonstra-
tiOn, and had put extra guards
on duty at the main gates, only
about ESQ people turned out to
wait for the announcement of
the execution. Newsreel camera
men photographed the crowd.)
WALKED TO GALLows
Prison officials said Joyce
walked to the gallows from his
death cell, his arms pinioned be-
hind him with the broad black
strap used in countless executions.
=s (The traitor who once
taunted Britain by radio trem-
bled as he walked across the
prison yard TO the gallows but
he refused assistance, United
Press said. Dressed in a blue
suit, he stood quietly on the
trapdoor while the moose was
put around his neck.)
The trap was sprung by Albert
Pierrepont, nephew of the famed
hangman who executed Amery.
Joyce's death ended a fantastic
career which led him from Fascist
street fights in England to an in
famous place as Hitler's No.
English language broadcaster.
Nazi propaganda minister Jo-
seph Goebbels paid Joyce $50 a
week for his radio work, which
consisted of four daily broadcasts.
