Fuel Failure May Have
Caused Crash of FWS
Plane, Investigator Says
JUNEAU, liTI—Pilot Bob Meek
must have- made a desperate last
minute attempt for an emergency
landing in a small woodland
meadow last Wednesday before
his plane crashed killing four and
fatally injuring himself, Fish and
Wildlife Service Director Clar
ence- J. Rhode said Sunday.
Rhode, making an investigation
with civilian aeronautics adminis
tration inspectors, said both the
Grumman Goose’s engines appar
ently failed at a low altitude over
heavy timber on Admiralty Is
land. A fuel failure may have
been to blame.
It was evident the veteran 42
year-old pilo't tried to reach the
small cleared area before a wing
was sheered off by a tree, Rhode
added. Meek survived the first
night in the wreckage before he
died, and the plane’s other occu
pant, Gus Hilsinger, Service biolo
gist, reached a nearby beach to
summon aid,
A watch found in the wreckage
set the time of the crash at 4:05
p.m. Wednesday. The plane was
returning to Juneau from Sitka.
The crash was the worst of a
government civilian agency air
plane in Alaska history. Meek had
flown thousands of hours.

Nationalist Chinese
Hit Red Shipping
Along China Coast
TAIPEH, Formosa, M1)—Chinese
Nationalist warplanes struck at
Communist shipping along the
China coast Tuesday and the de
fense ministry said a Red gunboat,
more than 100 wooden military
junks and five motorized vessels
were damaged.
Identification of the junks as
military craft could indicate the
Reds were massing an invasion
fleet for an attack on Quemoy,
but there was no official confir
mation.
Quemoy, Nationalist island out
post just off Amoy opposite For
mosa, has been under intermit
tent Communist artillery attack
since Friday, when the Reds bom
barded it for five hours.
The defense ministry said Na
tionalist bombers struck Tuesday
at Wuyu Island and' Chihmei on
the mainland coast within artill
ery range of Quemoy and at near
by Amoy, a major Red base.
Warships joined in the attack
for the second day, the announce
ment said, adding that Red fire
power on Amoy was crippled.
Intermittent antiaircraft fire
stopped entirely during the at
tack, the ministry said.

Lower Kuskokwim Area
Will Help Prospectors
WASHINGTON, OP)—A new
Geologic Survey map for 10,000
square miles of the lower Kusko
kwim area of western Alaska was
released Tuesday by Secretary of
the Interior McKay. The depart
ment announcement said the map
“may provide information helpful
in exploration for gold, platinum
and other mineral deposits.”
It is described as a preliminary
map, based on a 1946-50 field
survey.
The announcement added: “The
previously unmapped lower Kus
kokwim area has long been con
sidered a favorable locality be
ause of the known mercury, gold
and scheelite mineralization in the
adjacent central Kuskokwim area
and the rich platinum deposits a
few miles southwest, near Good
news Bay.”
