shortly after leaving Annette Island, near Ketchikan. Huycke's home was Los Angeles.
 The plane arrived here last night and was to continue on to Fair banks.
 Billherg, who served as co-pilot on the flight from Seattle to An- nette, turned the job over to Huycke at Ketchikan.
 After the takeoff from An- nette,' Billberg said, "Huycke walked past me saying he was going to stop that draft coming in the door. I went along with him to the back of the plane to see how it could be done.
 T saw him start to turn the handle. Before I could yell warn ing he disappeared. There was an awful draft and I thought for a moment might follow. I got out of there awful fast and told the pilot Edwin Brenner, Seattle) what had happened"
 Billberg said Huycke had tried to fasten the blanket to the door by turning the handles. The door opens down and out with built-in steps, the handles acting as bolts, he said
 Brenner said he thought the plane had developed engine trouble.
 There was quite a jolt" he said.
 T returned to Annette as soon as Billberg told me what happened
 The door remained hanging from the plane until the landing, but was damaged and had to be re- placed before the flight here last night.
 We were worried the door would rip off in the wind and smash the stacilizer,' Brenner said.
 The pilot said the plane was flying at 1000 feet over Gravina Island when the mishap occurred
 Only two of the planes 10 pas- sengers knew of the accident im- mediately and their view was blocked by Billberg. Others, sitting forward, were not aware of the tragedy until the plane landed at Annette.
 Tie area where Huycke fell is dctted with islands, but there is mere water than land at the point the plane was from Annette Is- land. The accident occurred four minutes alter the takeoff.
 The Coast Guard said the cutter Citrus is. searching for Huycke's body.

THREE ARE
 GUILTY IN
 POLK CASE
Death Sentence for Two, Life Imprisonment for
 Another-In Greece

SALONIKA, Greece, April 21.- lR-Gregory Staktopoulos, Greek newspaperman and former Com mu,list, was sentenced to life im- prisonment today for complicity in the murder last May of George Polk, American correspondent for the Columbia Broadcasting System.
 Staktopoulos' 68-year- -old mother, Anna, was acquitted on the same charge, as requested by the prose- cution. The prosecution had asked sentence of only 10 to 20 years for Staktopoulos, who admitted in court that he was with Polk on the night of fhis death. He contended he was an innocent dupe of the Communists.
 Adam Mounzenides, the man the prosecution said fired the gun which killed Polk, got death sentence, as. did his helper, Evangelos Vas vanas. Neither Mouzenides nor Vasvanas, who are Communists, have been apprehended and both were tried in absentia.
 Polk, correspondent for the Col umbia Broadcasting System in the United States, was found shot in Salonika Bay last May after tell ing friends he was on his way to interview MarkoS Vafiades, then the leader of Greece's Communist guer- rillaS.
 Polk, 34, had spent two years in the Middle East as CBS chief cor respondent. He was born at Fort Worth, Texas, and attended the Virginia military institute. Before the war he worked as newspaper man in Alaska, Shanghai and Paris as well as in the United States.

HIRING HALL
 DECISION TO
 BE TAKEN UP
Eastern CI0 Leaders Take d-Bridges on Coast
 Makes His Reply
(By The Associated Press)

CIO maritime leaders are pre- pairing to appeal decision by the National Labor Relations Board which outlaws the hiring hall sys- tenn of employing seamen. The hiring hall is sort of employment agency through which union supplies workers. Last Tuesday, a legislative representative of the CIO maritime committee, Hout Paddock, told Congress that unless the issue is settled by June 18th, there will be strike.
 In San Francisco, Harry Bridges has discounted Haddock's authority to speak for his West Coast long shoremen. Bridges wired Senator Claude Pepper of Florida and said that neither Paddock, nor anyone else, has authority to say that his ILWU will support such a strike.
 In New York a National mari time union official, Jack Lawren- son asserts his organization will continue to use hiring halls, regard less of the NLRB ruling.
 Leaders of CI.O maritime work CTS have threatened to strike if necessary to preserve the hiring hall system, cut in new decision the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that hiring halls are illegal under the Taft Hartley Labor law.
 Furthermore, it is against the law to strike-or even to threaten a strike-in demanding a hiring ! hall provision i'll contracts.
 This is the second time the N.L.R.B. has ruled out the union hiring halls. The board last Au- gust outlawed such contract pro- visions on the Great Lakes. The new ruling was directed against the union hiring plan now in use on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
 CIO. maritime officials intend to appeal the decision, just as they are doing in the case of the Great Lakes decision.

Copyright. 1949, by Bell Syndicate. Incl WASHINGTON = It won't be announced officially, but the State Department has taken secret and highly significant step to try to stop the three-year-old civil war in French Indo-China.
 Indo-China is a long way from the USA, but in these days of glo- bal cold war, what happens there can influence the spread of Con- munism in the Philippines, the Malays and India.
 Therefore, Ambassador Caffery acting on careful instructions from Secretary of State Acheson, has told the French Foreign Office that the United States considers it ab- solutely necessary to stop this fight ing in order to keep it from play ing into the hands of the Commun- ists.
