2 Alaska Airmen Back 'From Dead’

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, March 12 (U. P.)—Two veteran Alaska airmen, believed dead in the wreckage of their cabin plane crushed against: a 1200-foot bald ridge near Nulato, returned here alive and well after framping over a frozen river for seven days. The men are Capt. Donald I. McLennan of Seattle, Pan-Ameri-can Airways pilot, and Fred Moller of Fairbanks, P.-A. A. flight mechanic. Their single-engine mail plane crashed Feb. 28 in a wild mountain region between Nulato and Moses point. The men were believed dead when 'a searching plane found no sign of life about the wreckage. It was not until a party of natives with -dogsleds found no bodies and footprints leading from the wreckage that hope for them was revived. The two men, hungry, but with only minor hurts, were rescued yesterday by a skiplane which landed on the river ice.

NEW YORK, March 12 (U. P.)~ Thomas Kennedy of Hazelton, Pa., secretary of the United Mine Workers, attacked the war labor broad’s “little steel” formula today

operators in the northern Appalachian region “cannot expect us to accept: a principle that has us crucified before we start.” Kennedy, one of a number of U. M. W. speakers at today’s session of the joint wage conference said that if the operators insist on acceptance of the formula “we might as well pack up and go home.” The miners, he said, “have the right first to have their proposals —for a $2 a day wage increase— accepted by the operators, and second to have them passed .on by a

‘Kennedy declared that the railroads who consume 60 per cent of the bituminous . coal production gould absorb the larger part of the miners’ basic pay increase demand without increasing freight rates. : He said of steel ‘and other industries indicated that the entire wage increase could be absorbed by them without passing it on to the public. = “It all adds up to the fact that you can’t make a general rule and
