route to visit a soma beautician
headed back to Minnesota.
These were among the SIS pas
sengerS of a Northwest Airlines

1t was a mixed company that
rode the vanished plane-wealthy

boring people. the young and old,
from small communities and big
cities. Many were on vacation
trips.
That was the case for Miss
Ellen Ross. 21-year-old nurse of
New Jerseys Passaic Hospital.
She was on her way to visit an
uncle in Livingston, Mont.
Richard w. Thomson, IS, re-

were the AFL National Association

the two biggest postal unions.
A spokesman for the letter car
riers union declared that I'VE
haven't given up by any means.
We're going to make a real fight
of it and we've got a chance to
win"
The union official pointed out
that last year the postal groups
overcame similar odds by engineer
ing the difficult feat of getting the
postal pay bill discharged from
both the House Civil Service and
the Rule Committees. The COM
mittees had blocked the pay meas
ure for months.
Meanwhile, other veterans in
Government who entered the Fed
eral service after the war are
closely watching the develop
ments.
One of the reasons cited by
President Truman in vetoing the
measure was that it Disseminated
against other veterans in the Gov
ernment. Mr.. Truman's other
three major objections were the
cost involved in the light OF the
present postal deficit, the bad
principle of allowing credit for
service in no way related to a
civil career" and the fact that 1t
provides a special benefit to a
special group of veterans without
preference to a real and distinctive
need"

crat, of California. sponsor OF the
postal veterans measure. also has
introduced another bill for other

the plane was northwest of Grand
Rapids. Mich. He mentioned no
storm or other clue to solve the
mysterious disappearance.
He said he wanted to descend
from $500 to $500 feet but he
didn't say why. His request was
refused because of heavy lower,
level air traffic.
Airplanes Search Inland.
Air and most surface searching
was suspended at nightfall until
daybreak tomorrow. Only the
Coast Guard cutter Woodbine
plowed across the lake tonight in
quest of a trace of the plane. Fog
made visibility poor.
Searching airplanes extended
inland in a triangular area from
Battle Creek, Mich, to Dodgeville.
Wis, both south of Milwaukee. to
La Crosse, Wis, near the Mime
sofa line northwest of Milwaukee.
They operated on the slim posi-
bility that the air liner might have
crashed in some isolated area in
Michigan or Wisconsin.
ID. c. Crash Killed S..
Greatest loss of life up to this
time in a United States air dis
aster was the crash of an Eastern
Air Lines plane coming. in for
a landing at Washington National
Airport. The Eastern DC-4 was
rammed by a Bolivian army pilot
flying a fighter plane and crashed,
killing SIS.
The largest toll in world
heavier than air history was
taken near Cardiff, Wales, March
II, this year, when 80 persons
died in a transport plane crash.
The chartered plane was loaded
with soccer fans returning from
q IIidUCIl III DuDllIl.
A Navy destroyer escort en-
gagged in the widespread air and
surface search today found oil,
gasoline and air bubbles rising
to the lakes surface. The spot
was about six and a quarter miles
east of South Milwaukee.
Other Flicks Found.
The crafts Navy reserve cap
tain, George Parkinson, said
dragging of the bottom, 66 feet
below the waves, located what
was "unmistakable" wreckage.
The diver was rushed to the scene
but found nothing.
The diver, Jack Browne of Mil
waukee, said he found the YES
sells graphing hooks caught on
rocks at the lake bottom. He ex-
pressed belief that the oil slick
was "only drifting OIL"
There were other oil slicks in
vestigated. One was reported a
mile off the Milwaukee shore. An
other was spotted IL miles north
west of Benton Harbor. Mich. But
oil Sticks are common in the Great
Lakes shipping lanes, usually
coming from seepage into the
bilge of ships which is pumped out
into the lake.
Last night, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Skinner, jr., of Fenville, Mich, re-
ported seeing a plane flying over
Lake Michigan near Saugatuck.
They said the planes lights went
out after bolt of lightning flashed
across the sky. They estimated
the time of this observation as
nearly two hours before Capt. Rob-
ert Lind, 35, pilot of the Inflated
plane made his last report.
With Capt. Lind in the crew
were co-pilot Verne F. Wolfe, 35,
of Minneapolis. and Bonnie Ann
Feldman, 25, of st. Paul, Mimi,
the StewardeSs. The plane held
$500 gallons of gasoline at take
off, enough for II hours of flight
in mileage, sufficient to take the

In other words they need plenty

prime exception to this rule seems
to be the nasturtium, which. if
well fed, produces an abundance

A common experience with many
gardeners is to plant more of

hence there is a tendency to leave
the spent flowers on the plant.
Most ANIMALS feel that their mis-
