After Plane Crashes
In Mediterranean
Only Two Aboard Airline
Bound for Africa Saved,
Contrary 10 First Report
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Oct. 18.-Five persons
are dead and 81 missing as the
result of the crash landing yes
terday of a Marseille- -Oran plane
in the Mediterranean, the
planes operating company said
today.
The Paris Office Of the airline
company said its information came
from a telegram saying the escort
vessel Sabre had rescued a pilot
mechanic and a man named Huyghe
and had picked up five unidenti-
fled bodies while securing the area
around the scene of the crash.
The company said it had little
hope" of saving any more of the
crew of S and SO passengers, who
were reported to include 6 children
and 2 babies. Those aboard appar-
emily were from France or North
Africa.
Survivors Still Sought.
Search for possible survivors was
reported continuing, with military
planes taking part.
The firm could give no expla-
nation Of a telegram it received
yesterday from Air Transport Con-
troll, saying that all persons aboard
the plane had been rescued by a
Spanish vessel in Cartagena Bay,
Spain, before the plane went down.
The plane was twin-engine
warplane which the firm-the Inter-
continental Air Transport Co.-said
had been modified to fit specifca-
tions and requirements for passen-
ger-carrying.
The company said the rescued
pilot, named Remy, had 5000 hours
of flying time and that weather
conditions at the time of the crash
were excellent" with good visi-
bility and a light, steady wind.
Reported Motor Trouble.
The plane started from Paris yes
terday, made stop at Marseille and
then while en- route to Oran reported
motor trouble off Cape Palos, Spain.
1t was not heard from after that.
Military search planes Immediately
took off from Algiers and discov-
cred the remains of the craft, the
company said.
The version announced by the
company yesterday was that the
plane had made a forced landing
and remained afloat for a time be-
fore sinking. One report today said
the tuselage still was visible.
Reports from the Sabre, which
reached the scene during the night,
were sketchy.
The company said that, while the
plane had "a passenger seats. the
number of passengers in excess of
that figure was normal" since it
was a customary practice to carry
'children in addition.

OKLAHOMA CITY TIMES GIVES FRONT PAGE ACCOUNT
 OF INTOLUBBE VACATION

The Oklahoma City Times. for Saturday, July 12, gave front page space to an account of WrangeIfs Earl c Intolubbe who are on what was meant to have been a vacation l ir Oklahoma From the account, it appears that everything that could happen has happened to the three Intolubbe children and pro- bably the Intolubbes will be glad to get back to the peace and seren- l ity of Wrangell once more. The Times reporter said
 After two years in the rugged, adventurous environment of dis tant Alaska, the Intolubbe family came back to Oklahoma City two weeks ago for a well-earned rest in the supposedly calm and conser- yatiye atmosphere of their native haunts.
 All had weathered the viriIe life on Wrangell island safely, and consequently anticipated no un- toward incidents in their scheduled six weeks vacation at home. It hasn't worked out quite that way. Here's how the box score stood Saturday in the casualty league:
 Dale Intolubbe, II - receiving treatment in Mcbride Bone and Joint hospital for a foot almost severed by a moving machine on the farm of a relative five miles east of Edmond.
 Jimmy Intolubbe, - treatedI at Wesley hospital, but now recup- erating in the home of a city rela- tive from an injury caused when hammock support broke and in-I flicted serious wound over his eyes.
 Earline Intolubbe, 13 - joltedI in the same hammock accident.
 MT. and Mrs. Earl Intolubbe, the parents, still free of physical injuries, but displaying under standable nervous symptoms.
 The Times reporter relates the details of the July moving ma chine which nearly cost young Dale his foot "The blade shearad through flesh and bone, almost

severing the foot" Doctors at the Oklahoma City hospital, however, believe the foot will be sound a- gain.
 Of Jimmy's and Earline's acci- dent, the Times reported them as sitting in a hammock when the supports gave way. A sharp edge of the broken support struck Jim my over one eye inflicting a deep gash The Times goes on, an X-ray Ieyealed no skull fracture, but the doctor ordered Jimmy to re- main quiet several days to recover from coneussion..'
 Dale's accident, the newspaper said, would probably delay the In tolubbes return to Wrangell. They were due to leave Seattle August 12.
 Wrangell's Chambers of Coln- merce will appreciate the following quotation. reported said by Mr In- tolubbe:
 'The weather isn't as bad as Ok lahomans might suspect, said Mrs. Intolubbe lspeaking of Wran- gell.) Last winter was said by old timers to have been the worst in the last 40 years. However, it never got more than 10 below at Wrangell and l understood Okla homa City had weather about that cold"
 The Times said that now the In- tolubbes were ready to go back where life is not quite so precar- ious," but added that Dale had ohe assignment to complete berase leaving - to shoot off his Fourth of July fireworks.
 The Times concludes, after they are shot he'll be ready to head back to Alaska and the quiet life.
 The Sentinel adds, Amen, and about time!"
