Search Planes Complete
Scanning Primary Area
Where Hall Disappeared

KETCHIKAN, Up - A Coast
Guard officer said Thursday night
the entire primary area"-thou-
sands Of square miles Of it-has
been covered several times in the
vain search for Ellis Hall, New
Mexico oil man, and his four pri-
vate plane passengers.
Cmdr. Ira Mcmillan estimated
scanning Of a vast area in south
east Alaska and northern British
Columbia has been with 80 per
cent visual effectiveness.
The search fleet at Annette Is
land, Halls takeoff point, has
been cut from % military planes
to IL, with the withdrawal of
Canadian Air Force craft and the
need of repairs on others.
Theories on what might have
happened to the Hall plane take
three main directions: a crash in
Alaska waters without leaving a
trace; a crash in a concealed spot
in the Canadian wilderness, or a
crash on a flight in an unknown
direction.
