Huge Task Force Is Seeking Plane HONOLULU (UPI) — A huge task force of planes and ships fanned out over the vast Pacific today in an intensified search for nine men who went down with a C 124 Globcmaster cargo aircraft Thursday. The Air Force called for additional search planes from the Mainland, Japan and Guam, and military and civilian ships sped toward the search area to join four Navy ships already on the scene. A total of 70 Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard planes have been thrown into the search. The jnassive operation, which already has covered 414,000 square miles of the Pacific, was revitalized Friday by a series of brief SOS signals and the report of a mysterious flash of light. An Air Force spokesman at Hickam Air Force Base near Honolulu said, “The . signals, are enough to keep people working the search hopeful and spurred on in their efforts. But it is not enough to warrant us coming out too confidently and perhaps falsely raising hopes of Tela-* lives until we know for sure what we have got.” Strong- SOS signals were heard Thursday night, but Air Force officials said they formed a confusing pattern. The signals, were on an emergency frequency and lasted only about two seconds each, making it ■difficult to track their source.
