Gen. Marshall went to the Rus
sian Embassy to meet Mr.. Molotos
after the Russian Minister declined
an invitation to luncheon at the
American Embassy.

Marshall, at the meeting, tried to
determine whether Mr.. Molotov was
willing to make any concessions or
Germany which might lead to some
agreements in the Foreign Ministers
Council.
Gen. Marshall was flanked by
Charles E. Bohlen, State Depart
ment counsellor, and Mr.. Douglas

FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. 5
One of the largest aerial searches
in history was made today by l6l
American planes rowing over lOU, ,oOl
square miles of five countries seek
ing an Army transport plane ano
its 20 occupants lost a week ago.
The planes took advantage OF the
best flying weather since the Cay
disappeared en- route from Pisa
Italy, to Frankfurt. They ranged
from the British zone OF Germany
to the Mediterranean and from
Paris to Austria. Parts OF Switzer-
land also were scanned.
Hope dwindled that any aboard
the lost DC-3 would be alive unless
found promptly. Every available
plane was sent aloft in an attempt
to end the search today, before a
bad weather front moves in from
the west. Swiss, French and British
aircraft helped in the hunt. An Air
Force spokesman said probably
more than 200 planes in all partici-
pated.
The main effort was in the area
bounded by Luxembourg, the Ger
man towns of Pforheim and Coblenz
and the French city of Strasbourg
In that area, where possible gas
oline signal fire was reported seen
two nights ago, So planes were in
the air.
Wet, cold and hungry ground
searchers were held back today for
rest and regrouping after six days
in the snow. An Air Force colonel
said:
