MORE HELD FOR WORLD

Wrecked Plane to Be Tak- en 10 Fairbanks, Trueked
 10 Edmonton-Breaks

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Nov. 27.-I R-The Air Force and civilians have boiled resources to help Mrs. Rich arda Morrow-Tate carry on in her determination to complete a global flight to her home in Britain.
 Yesterdays developments prompt ed the British aviatrix to comment: alter a night of 40-below weather:
 q can't understand how it hap pens that the kindest people in the world live in the coldest place in the world"
 Mrs. Mcrrow-Talt and her navi- gator, Michael Townsend, crash landed their single -engined plane last Sunday on an Alaska highway, 235 miles southeast of Fairbanks. Because the two were out of cash, the accident appeared to have doomed the globe-circling flight to failure.
 But her hopes for its completion, perhaps in the spring, were revived by these developments:
 Air Force maintenance crews pre- pared to leave for the scene to re- turn the wrecked plane, Thursday s Child, over 235 miles of highway to Fairbanks.
 Here. Jlm Dodson, veteran bush flier, and now head of Consolidated Airlines, will disassemble the plane and load it on a truck for a 2,000 mile haul to Edmonton. Dodson said he and the truck owner, Alfred Ghezzi, Jr., will take care of those details at no cost "out of love fol an adventurous spirit.
 The Air Force also put Mrs. Mor' row-Tait and Townsend aboard B-17 for flight to Edmonton.
 From there Townsend plans tt fly to Toronto and attempt to make arrangements for new wings ant landing gear, washed out in tht crash landing. The Percival plant which made their former RAF plane is located there.
 Meanwhile Mrs Morrow-Tait made plans to accept the offer of Keitf Capper to sing in his Anchorage Alaska, night club to replenish hel funds.
 She said she is determined to com plete the flight but said it may es as long as next spring before hel plane is flyable again.

 But inside (she opened one) she said were letters speaking ardent love to a German miss known only as Maria" The letter, she added read in part:
 Maria, I want to go with you to the moon-not for some months but for always"
 To which, Mrs. Tapscott said, in effect, bon voyage.

Madame Chiang Kali shek Plans Trip 10 U. S.-De-
 pariure Reported Near
eBy The Associated Press)


 In China, the battle for the ap- breaches to Nanking spread over a 1o0-mile radius south of Suc- how. From reports reaching Nan king it appeared that Nationalist troops had abandoned their old system of pcsitional warfare, and were slugging it out wherever they came upon the Chinese Commun- ists.
 A government field general said the Communists have lost 23J,0oO men in the i9-day battle. Govern ment losses were reported at 95,0o0 men. These figures customarily are distorted by the Chinese.
 Madame Chiang kai-shek, wife of Chnas President, made ready to leave for visit to the United States. 4 Nanking dispatch said her departure time has not been announced but it may be within 48 hours. Presumably she is mak- ing the trip to solicit greater helr for the pressed Nationalist government.
