ELECT
Hunt-Two A.F.
Officers Downed
In Utah Mountains
By JERRY TRAPP
HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah,
141 — Are two Air Force officers
who (bailed out of a crippled car
go plane still alive after more
than three days in the blizzard
ravaged mountains of northeastern
Utah?
Hopes for the survival of Capt.
Donald Liggett, 40, Indianapolis,
navigator, and Lt. Donald E. Born,
28, Andover, N. Y., pilot, were
dim at the frigid dawn this morn
ing.
Born, Liggett and six other men
parachuted from a Cl 19 Friday
night When one of its two engines
stopped on a flight over the rugged
mountains about 30 miles east of
here.
Sgt. Ivan Probasco, and Sgt. Jo
seph A. Reagan, died Saturday
from exhaustion and exposure as
they tried to fight their way
through waist-deep snow and
freezing temperatures to help.
A group of the more than 100
weary rescuers combing the deso
late mountain area Saturday found
Sgt. Rayno Feltner, Sgt. Walter P.
Bigelow, and Cpl. Ray Copeland,
when they stumbled into a sheep
herder’s camp.
Copeland and Feltner, both Ar
my men and Reagan, were hitch
hiking a ride on the Cl 19 When
the plane commander, Capt. Har
ry O. Blunt, ordered them to
jump. The plane flew 150 miles on
automatic pilot and crashed.
Blunt was found a few hours
after the parachute jump. He was
wrapped in his chute and huddled
under a tree.
Temperatures dipped below
freezing in the 8,000-10,000-foot
Wasatch Range section where
Born and Liggett were believed
to have fallen.
Both men were familiar with
survival techniques but they were
clad only in light flying suits
when they parachuted.

Western Industry
Objects To
Conservation Bill
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., UP) —
If Western industry has its way,
the proposed National Wilderness
Conservation Act won’t go through
— at least as it now stands.
The well-organized heavy ar
tillery of western business against
the measure seems to point to
much consideration by the coming
Congress.
On the other side are the some
what softer-spoken forces which
see in the act a way to save some
thing of the nation’s primeval
beauty for the enjoyment of the
present and future generations.
The last of a number of Senate
Interior Committee hearings in
Western states was held here Fri
day. The bill, which would cre
ate a wilderness system, now goes
back to Congress.
Those opposing the measure
followed the same general theme,
that the measure is economically
binding.
The proponents of the bill, gen
erally representing sportsmen and
conservation groups, called for its
passage to insure that areas “of
natural resources be conserved,
preserved and held in trust for
later generations.”
Dr. Richard C. Sill, assistant
professor of physics at New Mex
ico Institute of Mining and Tech
nology, testifying in support of
the measure, said a “highly prac
tical and somewhat unfortunate
aspect of the necessity for the pro
tection of wilderness is that such
areas, if preserved, can provide
mankind with a retreat should
the world situation deteriorate
into atomic warfare.”
