have joined Pan American’s big
DC-3’s and numerous planes
searched other areas.
The native village of Metlakatla
sent a party of 15 men to work
along the beaches of Annette Is
land. Monsen’s 25-year-old son;
Wesley, also a pilot who had often
flown the Alaska route with his
father, flew north Wednesday to
take part in the search.
The reported crash site is on the
north side of Tongass mountain,
six miles east of the Annette is-,
land landing field, where pilot Alt
N. Monsen last reported Sunday
that extreme turbulence turned
him back from a scheduled land
ing.
There was a report that the
plane apparently burned, and Pan
American headquarters said it
was trying to confirm the report.
A report from Juneau said i
Pan American searching plane
spotted the wreckage near the top
of the 3.600-foot mountain, badly
smashed. A search party was en
route to the scene.

posed4road would connect with
the Alaska Railroad.
Diggs predicted that either his
group or some other “will start
this railroad within three or four
years.”
“The present plans contemplate
that the railroad will be construct- ;
ed by private capital,” Digg said. :
“We hope that after we reach
Alaska our government will aid in
the construction but we have de
ceived no commitments frpm it
though government officials have
shown great interest.
“We are anxious that a railroad |
be built to the Territory for we
believe that is the only way it I
ever will be opened up.
“And, in view of the present
Russian situation, we should have
such a connection with our Terri
tory.
“The railroad will open up vast
resources and in Canada tap coun- !
try exceedingly rich in natural re- !
sources such as coal, timber and
pulp wood.” i
Canadians nave shown great in- j
terest in the proposal. Diggs said, j
adding that his group consists of |
both Americans and Canadians, j
He said that two New York j
banking houses have shown an in- j
terest in financing the proposed
road, estimated to cost $200,000,
000 or more, but declined to name
them.
The plans are to construct the
railroad west of the mountains,
which Diggs described as the only
feasible route for such a project.
