Rescue Party Makes
Desperate Effort Peach
TPaue On Iceland Glacier
LONDON, Iff)—A ground rescue
team started a new climb today
up an Iceland glacier in a des
perate bid to reach a U.S. Navy
plane which crashed Thursday
with nine men abo'Srd. •
Biting blizzards and tearing
winds turned back rescue squads
last night after they had battled
within a mile of the wreck, U.S.
Air Force officials here said. The
rescuers had to retreat several
miles and make camp because of
the severe weather.
The rescuers are battling against
time- in a race to reach possible
survivors. The 53rd Air Rescue
Squadron reported severe weather
was expected to close in later to
day “but there is a good chance
of reaching the wreck before the
weather sets in again.”
The plane, a twin-engine Nep
tune, disappeared on a flight from
Keflavik Air Fiefcl, Iceland.
A report from Reykjavik said
authorities now hold little hope
that any of the fliers may still
be alive.
January Conference May
Alter Alaska Fishing
Regulations For 1954
SEATTLE, UPl—Another chapter
in the preparation of Alaska fish
ing regulations for 1954 will be
written early next month. A group
of Fish and Wildlife Service rep
resentatives from Washington D.C.
and Alaska will be in Seattle the
week of January 4 for what may
be final conferences with the fish
ing industry.
There appears to be the likeli
hood that tentative regulations,
which John L. Farley, service dir
ector, discussed in Seattle Friday
with southeastern Alaska packers
may be altered.
Before returning to Washington,
however, Farley made it clear he
is sticking to his major objective:
closure of traps which accounted
for half the southeastern Alaska
pink salmon catch in 1953.
