RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil,
April 30.-One of the biggest air
hunts ever made in Brazil got
under way today for the lost Pan
American StratocruiSer which
vanished with so persons aboard
yesterday en- route to New York.
The search area embraced a
vast 100000 square mile region OF
unexplored jungle, dry plateau
and river basins, many of them
with sand bars that might afford
suitable landings.
The nine crewmen and 10 pas
sengers were Americans.
Heard From North of Rio.
Pan American officials said q
planes of the United States Air
Force and Navy, the Brazilian
Air Force and commercial airlines
were patrolling a wild rectangular
area running 400 miles west from
Barreiras to Xavantina, thence
north to Santarem on the Anna
zon and east to Belem on the
coast.
The luxury two-deck plane was
last heard from at 1:30 am. yes
Iterday when it made radio con-
tact with Barreiras, nearly 900
miles northwest of Rio de Janeiro.
It then reported it's position as
240 miles west of Barreiras.
The United States Air Force in
Washington announced that II
planes, ranging from B-29s to a
helicopter, had been ordered into
the search from bases in Puerto
Rico by the Air Rescue Service
and the Strategic Air Command.
Brazilian Is CO-OrdinatOr.
A search base was set up at
Belem under coordination of a
Brazilian air force officer. The
United States force was COM
manded by Maj. Richard B. Olney
of Ramey Air Base in Puerto Rico
The Brazilian air force dis
patched three BITS, a CAT trans
port and several small seaplanes
which would be useful in search
ing along the rivers.
The search was spurred by hope
that the plane may have been able
to crash land somewhere on the
barren plateau in mid-Brazil.
Airline spokesmen said the area
of the most intense search is a
level, open prairie, cut by three
jjungle-lined rivers, but that even
the rivers have long sandbars
where a troubled plane might be
able to land.

At the time. Mr.. Olson said, he

broadcast over the radio.
He said he had appeared six
times before the subcommittee in

turned over to its staff all his per-

that he had answered questions
