Man Buried Hour In SnOW---Lives

WENATCHEE, (P) - Dea h never seemed closed to w. R. CRilD Hoard, Wenatchee radio station news editor, than it did Sunday when he was buried beneath a tre- mendous mass of snow following a Barrier Mountain avalanche near Stevens Pass.
 Hoard said he was going up a ski lift to get toboggan for an injured skier when he was struck by the surprise avalanche. He was buried more than an hour. The weight of the snow prevented him from moving his arms or body.
 "I couldn't seem to budge a muscle" Hoard said in describing his plight. "I ate some snow to make breathing room, and then when I tried to move my hand, I found I was able to feed myself more snow for more air"
 "The events of my past life d,d not appear before me as I had of ten heard was the case in death by suffocation. I thought of my wife and two children, added up my life insurance and the next thing I knew someone said he's s.i'l alive"

Sailors May Play Baseball Game At Point Barrow

POINT BARROW, (P)-A race against time and the threat of the Arctic ice pack was carried on around the clock as lighters shut tied between the navy's Point Barrow supply fleet and shore.
 Patrol planes kept the convoy constantly advised of the shifting ice caps position-last reported Saturday as seven miles out.
 Meanwhile, two LST's showed steadily eastward in the wake of the icebreaker Burton Island, car rying supplies to the air forces remote LORAN dong range nav igation station on Barter Island close to the Alaska Canada line.
 Also headed for the island is the Canadian cutter Yellowknife with similar supplies for that country's units of the joint U. s. Canadian defense system.
 Unloading of the years sup plies here will continue until the last of the 42,OOO tons is safely on the beach.
 In conditions warrant, ending the arduous task will be followed by a baseball game between a team from the flotilla's flagship the USS Union, and native Eski- mos.
 The villagers were challenged by Capt. J. U. Lademan, com mander of the expedition, who said his ships team was the cham pion of the fleet.
 The natives, who play at every opportunity, will have the advan- tage of being familiar with the gravelly field.

 This development came as the Russians hurled new threats at Berlin's anti-communists, and the United States headed more super fortresses and it's ranking air chiefs toward Germany. Pravda, meanwhile, published prominently Berlin dispatch charging American and British airmen with 62 flying violations in the air lift to Berlin. The com munist party newspaper singled out various instances of alleged violations by fighter planes as well as cargo ships. Only Friday the official Soviet news agency here said American and British planes running SUD- plies to Berlin could be forced down for flight violations. An American air force official retort- ed that "Things are going to be pretty tough around here" if the Russians try.
 In London and heading for Germany for an on-the-spot check of the flying supply line to Berlin are secretary for air w. Stuart Symington and It. Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg. chief of staff of the air. force.
 The arrival of these high-rank- ing figures at this time touched off speculation in London diplo- matic circles that their purpose is:
 1. To underline to the Russians the American determination to maintain and increase the air lift as long as the Russians continue to block the surface routes to Berlin from the western zones of Germany.
 2. To plan for the future, in- cluding the coming winter, if no agreement is reached.

 Mrs. Olsson, who once called herself the Floating Cleopatra" claims a record of floating 98 hours in the open sea, and of cov- ering a mile in 80 minutes while treading water and holding an open umbrella.
 She says her most spectacu- lar feat was remaining afloat while playing four musical in struments.
