Woman Survives 20 Days In Mountains Lived Beside Dead Husband In Crash RAWLINS, Wyo. (UP)—The 45-year-old survivor of a light plane crash, who lived beside her dead husband on a lonely mountain top for 20 days on only three candy bars and melted snow, was reported in good condition today in a Rawlins hospital. Although search planes flew within sight of the wreckage several times and a group of sheep herders once camped only two or three miles away, Mrs. Le Masurier was not spotted until Thursday. She was sighted by Jack Putnam, foreman of the Buzzard Ranch, who was looking for stray cows with a pair of binoculars. Searchers After Body ' A rescue party set out*at clawn today to remove Le Masurier’s body from the crash scene. Doctors reported the woman was suffering from exposure but said her condition, “amazingly good,” was not considered critical. The couple had been missing since May 11 when they took off from Salt Lake City for Rapid City, S.D. When rescuers reached Mrs. Le Masurier she struggled to remain with her husband's body, they said. She told them she tried frantically to attract the attention of rescue planes but could not. The couple had only two matches and they were wet. When the planes flew nearby "I waved a red shirt trying to get them to see us,” she sobbed. Wore Husband’s Trousers When found she was barefoot and was wearing her dead husband's trousers. She said all she had to wit during the agonizing 20 days were three, candy bars she bought by chatty' at Salt Lake City. She drank melted snow. Mrs. Le Masurier said she and her husband stayed in the plane's wreckage for the first three days after the crash and then decided to try to get off the mountain. Her husband got only 400 yards before he died. Mrs. Le Masurier was “very coherent” when she was found and was in "surprisingly good shape considering what she had been through," according to Robert D. Paul, Carbon County coroner. The'woman told rescuers that at one time a group of sheep herders came within two or three miles of the wreckage but Wat she chose to stay with her husband's body rather than t try to get to them.

This brings the list in line with articles sold Russia and its satellites but still bans the sale of strategic goods.” The British decision came about after a week's abortive negotiations in Paris by "Chincom,'' the committee for China trade, involving Britain, the United States. Japan and most of the NATO countries. No Export Boom British experts predicted trade with Red China would double but said this would be only a drop in the British financial bucket. Trade in non-strategic goods last year was only 10 million dollars, and trade sources said there had been no rush of exprters eager to try and crash the China market. The main effort in Red China may come from companies anxious to build up connections against a possible easing of the iron Communist grip on the coun-try-connections which would give British a head sjart if regular trade starts. Radio Moscow said the British action was a serious blow to the U.S. policy of “diktat” and called it important, the more so because of “stubborn U.S. opposition."
