terday established radio contact
with the marooned men. was to
determine what means of rescue
would be used, the ATC said. The
plane returned last night to Son
dre Strom Fjord, bleak weather
reporting station on the west coast
of Greenland.
Brig. Gen. Joseph H. Atkinson,

and another C-54 carrying main
tenance personnel and equipment.
The crash scene was located by
General Atkinson as 200 miles
north of Thule, a distance of more
than 2,000 miles northeast of Fair
banks.
j Radio contact established yester
day brought a plea for coal from
the marooned men. No request for
medical supplies was made, indi

NEW YORK, I7R)—The 11-man

Russian Seaman
Wants “No Part
_ \
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P)—Alex
ander Feodervitch Lobanov, a
Russian seaman who fears he will
be killed if he ever again boards a
Soviet ship or returns to his home
land, was quoted by the Chronicle
today as saying Russia exercises
the closest surveillance over its
seamen when they visit foreign
ports.
“I have been a Russian sailor
since 1928,” Lobanov told the
Chron:cle. “Since then I have been
everywhere. Russian seamen must
sign a paper that theft’ will not go
anywhere ashore alone. They must
sign a statement saying that they
will not read foreign papers, that,
they will not answer questions
about Russia or visit any homes in
the ports they reach.
“On Jan. 11, 1945" he said,
“your immigration officials helped
me get a job aboard a Belgian
ship. Since that first voyage I have
sailed on American ships. But, last
month when I docked at Los An
geles, they told me I could no long
er sail because I have no pass
port.”
Lobanov told the Chronicle a
lawyer advised him to go to the
Soviet Consulate and ask for a
passport.
“What an idea,” he said, “Tha+
consulate is not the consulate of
France or England. It is the Sov
iet consulate. That is the differ
ence. If I went there I would get
something but it would not be a
passport.
“If I were to sail on a Russian
ship do you know what would hap
pen? I would be killed when the
ship reached the throe mile limit.
Or maybe I would be killed when
the ship got to Russia. Or maybe I

with sarcasm, in which he said

when he came to Alaska “to leave
Alaska in better condition than he
found it.”

ant phrase, in which he expressed
the position of the opposition: “IT

all Second Division men voting for

Nerland and Butrovitch voted
against it.
The emergency clause, making
! it immediately effective when

monkey wrench in the machinery
when he asked for reconsideration,
and rallied enough votes to defeat
the emergency clause. This was a
severe blow to the anti-Gruening
faction, who had hoped to get im
mediate effectiveness of the mea

the Governor could fill the vacan

So Lobanov says he wants no
part of Russia, or his home city of
Leningrad. The next step, accord
ing to the Chronicle, is for him to
be interviewed by a social worker
who specializes in ca^cs like this.
