Alaska Pilot and
Family Alive on
Nevada Mountain
ELY, Nevada, UP) — Two skiers
readied the wreckage of a light
plane 11,000 feet up a northeast
ern Nevada mountain early yes
terday and found all five persons
aboard alive.
Two were unhurt, two were
seriously injured and one was
possibly seriously injured, the
skiers reported.
The Piper Apache, missing since
Sunday, was piloted by West Stod
dard, 50, a veteran bush flier
from Anchorage.
With him were his wife, Helen,
49; their daughter, Mrs. Horace
Cumbie, 28, and her son, Randy,
who was 6 years old Monday,
and Stoddard’s aunt, Mrs. Joseph
V. Lee of Heyburn, Idaho.
A helicopter was dispatched
from Hill AFB near Salt Lake
City, Utah, with a flight surgeon
and a paramedic because a snow
tractor with a physician could get
only about halfway up the moun
tain.
The skiers had to crawl the last
quarter of a mile, they reported in
radio messages relayed to the res
cue coordination center at Ham
ilton AFB, Calif.
Capt. Henry Wallendorf at
Hamilton said there was a serious
question whether the rescue heli
copter cpuld operate successfully
at the altitude of the downed
plane. If not, he said, the Para
medic — T. Sgt. H. C. Gould —
would parachute.
Stoddard landed at Burley,
Idaho, last Saturday and picked
up Mrs. Lee. They left Sunday
for Las Vegas, Nev. The flight
route was over Ely.
Mrs. Cumbie’s husband awaits
word in Anchorage.
The plane was spotted Mon
day rom the air by Civil Air Pa
trol Maj. Carl Ooley of Ely.
The snow was deep. Storms
buffeted the area the past two
days. The ground party left Ely
Monday night. Some went on snow
shoes. A snow tractor was also
sent with a physician, Dr. John
Moore of Ely.
4 Pacific Survivors
Hailed as Heroes
By Soviet Envoy
By LEIF ERICKSON
SAN FRANCISCO, W) — Four
young Soviet sailor survivors of
seen staring weeks on the stormy
Pacific were kissed and hugged
yesterday by a Soviet Embassy
officer greeting their arrival in
San Francisco.
The four seamen were landed
on the Marina green inside the
Golden Gate by helicopters from
the carrier Kearsarge.
Anatole Kardeshev, second sec
retary of the Soviet Embassy in
Washington, grasped each as he
stepped from the helicopter and
kissed each man on the cheek and
hugged him.
Kardeshev then took them to a
motel where they rest for two
days before proceeding to New
York.
The Kearsarge rescued the
young Soviet sailors as they tossed
on the Pacific in a small boat.
They had some apprehensions
about the future until Soviet Em
bassy officials told them — by
shore-to-ship telephone — they
were being proclaimed as heroes
throughout their homeland.
The four, tossed about in the
Pacific in a 50-foot landing craft
from Jan. 17 until rescued by this
41,000-ton carrier March 7, landed
at San Francisco still physically
weak, nine days after Kearsarge
fliers spotted their battered and
listing landing craft more than
1.000 miles southeast of the sail
ors’ Kurile Island base. They had
been swept to sea by a sudden
storm during a training exercise.
“They were just about at the
threshhold of what a human can
stand when we picked them up,”
! said Lt. Cmdr. F. D. Beckwith,
La Jolla, Calif., the carrier’s med
ical officer.
