Fail To Find Plane Crash-Landed In France

PARIS, (P) )- Dispatches from Grenoble said today that air and land parties searching for II Americans, including Brigadier General and three officers wives whose C-53 transport crashlanded yesterday high in the southern French Alps, had returned to Gre noble and reported failure thus far in the quest.
 The rescue crews have found no trace of the plane of its occu- pants, the Grenoble advices said. These accounts conflicted with a report of U. s. Army air force of- ficials in Frankfurt earlier, which said two U. s. bomber pilots had spotted the wreckage and circled it to guide the ground parties to the site.
 The plane went down on a flight from Munich, via Marseille, to Pisa. The Frankfurt informa- tion was that it had been sighted on a l2,000 foot plateau.
