SHIP SIGHTS |WRE(kACE IN
 SEA; HOPES UP
Russ Claim We Tried 10 Cover Up'-- --,Ba|ti1 Divid-
 ed for Thorough Search

COPENHAGEN, April 13-R--A new report of possible plane wreck age in the Baltic sent US. search craft off the Swedish island of Oeland today in their hunt for a Navy patrol plane missing since Saturday with 10 men aboard.
 The first officer aboard the Ger man steamer Juno said he saw what looked like an airplane cabin float ing in the Baltic at the southern tip of Oeland, which lies off the coast of Sweden across the Baltic from Latvia.
 US. officials in charge of the search at Copenhagen said one plane was already over the area. Others were directed to concen- trate their efforts there.
 Report Delayed
 The German ship which reported sighting the debris off Oeland had no radio and it's report was delayed until it made port this morning at Oernskoeldsvik in Northern Sweden.
 The report stirred new hope in us. Air Force headquarters at Wiesbaden, where gloom had been felt at chances of finding any of the planes survivors. Officers had given up their attempts to find what had been described yesterday as life raft off the Danish island of Bornholm. which lies northeast of Oeland.
 The semi-official Swedish news agency TIT. said Bernhard Revens, first officer. reported that he heard sounds of engines while on duty at am. Monday. Early in the after noon he found what he believed to be parts of an aircraft cabin float ing near the ship.
 He said the debris included parts two to four yards long and wooden sticks three to five inches thick with material that looked like paper between them.
 Hopes Not High
 He said he also observed several small biscuit packets and sea gulls circling around the packets and eating from them.
 The first note of pessimism in the five-day search came from Capt. DJack Klinger, Franklin, Pa, di- rector of the search.
 Our hopes aren't too high" he told headquarters at Wiesbaden.
 But he put 15 planes into the air over the sea at noon. with some ranging near Latvia, where the Rus sians say an American plane ex- changed fire with Russian fighters.
 But Kingler said his crews are observing strict orders to stay at least 20 miles away from Soviet controlled territory.
 In order to make sure no part Of the sea is missed, searchers have di- vided the Baltic into 30 blocs.
 If the men aboard the plane were able to launch rubber life boats after crashing into the sea there would be a chance of survival.
 One Air Force spokesman. said survivors of sea crashes have been known to live for weeks in emer- gency equipment carried by the plane.

SHORTAGE OF
ENGINEERS IS
NOW PREDICTED

GOLDEN, Colo.-An increased
demand for engineers to fill mobil-
ization needs may result in a
serious shortage of engineers in the
near future.
Well qualified engineers, grad
uating in June, had largely been
absorbed by industry before tie
impact of the Korean crisis. In
creased demands for their services,
both by. the armed forces and in
dustry, cause the manpower COM
mittee of the American Society for
Engineering Education to predict a
shortage.
Large industries employing these
skilled workers have stepped back,
during the last few weeks, into the
market for engineering graduates
this, in spite of the large number

pAA Requesting New
low Roundup Fares
Inter Alaska Hawaii

Pan American World Always has
filed with the Civil Aeronautics
Board in Washington, DC, sched-
ule for reduced round-trip fares on
travel between the territories OF
Alaska and Hawaii, it is disclosed
by B. F. Dunn, district PAA traffic
manager.
Dunn said that the new, lower
fares for travel between Juneau ana
Honolulu have been established in
an effort to stimulate winter-season
travel and further the spirit OF
friendly understanding that already
exists between the two large terri
tories which want to become the
.4eth and 5Oth states of the union.
The new Alaska Hawaii round
trip fares will be figured at approx
matelv one and one-half times the
cost of normal, one-way fares.
Usually, airline round-trlp 1areS
amount to twice the one-Way 1are'
less 10 percent.
The new Pan American rates are
set up exclusively to benefit Alaska
points on Pan Am routes. StopoVers
will be permitted in Seattle, but the
Alaska-H Hawaii reductions will not
result in any fare reduction Tor
travel solely between Seattle and
Honolulu.

Although there is an immediate

ments last spring, indicated for
1851 a graduating class of $4,000;
for 1852, $4,000; and for 1858, TO-

annual peacetime needs of the
economy in filling actual engin-
eering jobs as estimated by the
