U.S. JET FIGHTER
IS MISSING OFF
NORTHERN JAPAN
CHITOSE, Japan, (itt—A U.S.
Air Force jet fighter is missing
off northern Japan, in the same
area where Russian Migs shot
down an American B-29 19
months ago.
There was no suggestion so far
the fighter had run into trouble
with Soviet aircraft.
The Air Force said the pilot of
the F-86 Sabre jet had radioed
last shortly after noon that he
was off the eastern tip of the
northern Japanese island of Hok
kaido, some 20 miles from the
Russian-held Kurile Islands. He
then had about two hours’ fuel
left.
Search aircraft were dispatched
to comb the area.

Jim von der Heydt and Lester
Bronson, who returned from the
Alaska Democratic convention at
Anchorage, report that ex-Gov
emor Ernest Gruening was un
animously elected by the conven
tion for the six-year term as
senator from Alaska under the
Tennessee plan. William Egan,
who was president of the consti
tutional convention, was chosen
for the four-year term, and Ralph
Rivers for the House of Repre
sentatives. '
Ths procedure of electing rep
resentatives to Congress before
statehood, has been successful in
the admission of several other
states to the union. The Repub
lican candidates are: for Senator,
John Butrovich of Fairbanks and
Robert G. Atwood of Anchorage,
and for Representative, Charles
G. Burdick of Juneau. After the
fall election the three successful
candidates will go to Washington
and demand that they be seated
