woman and child from a snow
bound gold mine in Idaho's rugged

Force Base, in South Central
Idaho. which is conducting the
rescue operations.

fering from influenza. Latest re-
ports said the child apparently

A two-man Air Force team
helped bring the two to the emer-
gency field. The men-Lt. Dan
Fitzgerald of Camden, N. j., and
T/Sergt. Frank Sackrider of To-
peka, Kans.-parachuted into the
wilderness Wednesday.
First word of Mrs. Jacks plight
was brought by her husband Gene
who snowshoed II miles to a tele-
phone at Featherville January Z.
Since then the weather has
thwarted several rescue attempts
both on ground and by air.
