Dutch mercy plane that disap-
peared Sunday was found wrecked
today near Oslo. with a 12-year-
old boy the only survivor among
the % Jewish refugee children
and Z adults it carried.
Police announced that they had
recovered 81 bodies. The front
part of the plane was smashed in
landing in a forest on the West
side of Oslo Fjord, 80 miles from
the city. The tail remained in
tact.
The surviving boy was taken
to a hospital at Drammen, where
the head physician said
'It is almost a miracle that
12-year-old boy should be as fit
as he is after almost two days in
that wreck. Though there is no
indication of a shock condition. he
speaks only a little bit. He is to
be left completely to rest until
tomorrow"
The boy had slight burns, a
nose scratch and a swollen right
wrist.
Three Still Unaccounted For.
Officials said it was a certainty
that only the boy. identified as
Isaac Allal, survived the crash.
The three still unaccomted for
were said to be buried in the mass
of twisted wreckage.
The surviving boy-already he
is the darling of all Norway
showed amazing composure at the
hospital. He spoke little, but re-
sponded clearly when questions
were put to him.
Isaac was among a party of
underfed Jewish refugee children
en- route from Tunis, North Africa,
to Scandinavia for rest and re-
habilitation before going on to
Israel.
The boy was saved because he
was in the furthermost end of
the planes tail, the only part of
the craft to escape damage.
The boy, when found, was even
able to stand on his own feet. He
was placed on a stretcher and
carried over rugged country to
the Drammen hospital.

how he felt, he replied: Not bad"
do you know where you are?"
