SOVIET FLIERS SIGNAL HEARD SEARCH BEGIN

‘No Bearings’ Message Plane Says: Believed Down Near Pole.

HEAVY FOG MARS START

One of Three Rescue Craft

Is Flown by Crosson, ‘Mercy Pilot.’

By United Press

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. | 14.—Three rescue planes took | off today to search for a huge |

Russian plane believed down near the North Pole in a flight from Moscow to the United States. Joe Crosson, “mercy flier” of the Far North, piloted the first ship, a Lockheed Electra containing four other men. S. E. Robbins, Pacific-Alaska Air-

ways pilot and Clyde Armistead. who once flew with Sigismund Levanevsky, pilot of the missing

Russian plane, were in a pontoonequipped Fairchild. mechanic

Pilot Murray Steart, Paul Brewer and Savva Smirnov, radio engineer for the Russian

Government, were in another plane. One searching ship flew directly the

north, another northwest and third northeast. The rescue planes roared away to the north after the Anchorage radio station of the U. S. Signal Corps intercepted the first message from the Russians in 28 hours. It was regarded

as almost certain that the Russian plane was forced down on bleak Arctic tundra or Levanevsky

ice after one of its motors quit whilg,flving through a hlinding storm. Its gaseline supply was insufficient for more than 40 hours flight.

45-Day Food Supply Moscow reports said the plane had food for 45 days, sleeping bags,

a tent, axes, a portable radio and a

rubber boat. Soviet aviation authorities said in event of a forced landing it might take “some time” to set up the radio.

Anchorage heard the Russian plane at 8:44 a. m. (Indianapolis Time), saying, “No Dbearings—

having trouble with—wave band.” The signals, on 980 kilocycles, were weak. The message revived hope for the Russian crew, headed by Sigismund Levanevskv., “hero of the Soviet Union.” and called “the Russian Lindbergh.” With Crosson was Walter Hall, copilot, and Robert Gleason, radio operator. Russians Accompany Group

Two agents of the Russian Government, Michael Beliakov, meteorologist and brother of Alexander Reliakov, one of the fliers who made the first transpolar flight, and Leo Khvat, aviation correspondent for the Moscow Pravda, official Soviet news organ, also were aboard the searching plane. The fliers were heading into bad weather conditions. Dense fog blanketed Point Barrow, northernmost settlement on the continent. Ceiling and visibility there were zero. It was raining at Nome.

i} By United Press WAYNESBURG, Pa. Aug. 14—Mrs. Laura Elms Morris, 43-year-old school teacher. was refused reinstatement last night by a School Board of four farmers and a mechanic who heard charges that she taught pupils that man sprang from monkeys. Dismissed last spring, Mrs. Morris invoked the State Teachers Tenure Act. But the School Board, upholding its action, found that she “spent the greater part of |] the recitation period, which should have been spent in hearing the pupils recite, in telling about her ancestors and advising them that the human race originated from monkeys: that she was cruel to pupils and failed to keep order.”

RAILWAY LAROR GETS PAY BOOST

800.000 Workers to Share $98.000.000 Increase in Annual Wages.

CHICAGO, the nation’s

Aug. 14.—Wages of 800.000 nonoperating railwav emplovees todav were increased $98,000.000 annually and union labor launched a drive for enactment of a Federal unemployment insurance program for railroad workers A compromise wage agreement between railwav executives and the 14 nonoperating brotherhoods was approved by the unions yesterday. The increase, 5 cents an hour, is | retroactive to Aug. 1. George M. { Harrison, Cincinnati, | the unions’ wage committee, said | it increases the average wage of nonoperating emplovees to 64 cents

1 an hour. with the lowest paid. sec4 | tion hands, receiving an average of

q | 41 cents. { Mr. Harrison said the drive for Federal unemployment insurance | for railway employees would be

taken up at a meeting of 20 railroad labor unions today.

Laws Held Unsatisfactory

“Present unemployment insurance laws are unsatisfactory for railway workers because most of them cross state lines in their work, thus causing confusion about both collec- | tion of taxes and payment of bene- | fits,” he said.

Mr. Harrison said today's meet- | ing would be asked to indorse President Roosevelt's nomination of Senator Hugo L. Black (D. Ala.) for the Supreme Court and would renew the drive for exemption fiom provisions of the Black-Connery Wages and Hours Bill. As the unions approved their compromise wage agreement, some railroads announced thev would be forced to lay off men “because of increased costs and declining revenues.” Burlington Railroad officials said they would lay cff about 300 workers. Officers of the Milwaukee Railroad and the Illinois Central System said they were unable to estimate { how many employees would be affected by their personnel reduction. W. M. Jeffers, executive vice president of the Union Pacific, said his line “has not made and does not anticipate making any horizontal re-

ductions in forces purely for the purpose of offsetting wage increases.”
