COOMARA WEATHER-BOUND
OVER NIGHT. DEC. 23
On Dec. 23rd Pilot Coomara of
Unalakleet, with his wife and
baby left Unalakleet for Elim to
spend Christmas there. The wea
ther forecast showed there would
be a twenty-five hundred foot
ceiling along the route.
While crossing Shaktoolik flats
it began to snow, and in a few
minutes the ceiling had dropped
to zero and the visibility to one
eighth mile. Unable to risk a turn
in the complete lack of visibility,
Coomara, now forced down to
one hundred feet above the tun
dra, held his course for several
minutes and then landed on a
lake-bed near the coast.
Digging into a snowdrift, the
family spent a fairly comfortable
night, with the baby deep in a
sleeping bag, although it was
about fifteen below at the time.
With the coming of daylight the
next morning, the Coomaras fire
petted their engine and took off
without trouble, stopping at Un
galik on the way for a delicious
breakfast at Shaw and Cook’s
camp, and arriving at Elim in
time for the Xmas celebration.

To Survey Effect
Of Marshall Plan
On U. S. Economy j
(By Jack Ball)
WASHINGTON, </P) — A non
partisan survey of the Marshall
plan’s probable impact on the
American economy was urged
Saturday by Senator Wiley (R.
Wis.).
Wiley, a member of the Senate
foreign relations committee, said
he believes chairman Vandenberg
made a good move in asking the
Brookings institution for a report
on the best way ot administer the |
aid to 16 western European na
tions.
But he said he thinks the find
ings of the privately financed re
search organization should be
broadened to include “an estimate
on how these proposed exports to
foreign countries are going to af
fect us at home.
Vandenberg’s action also was
applauded by Senator Brooks (R.
111.) and Taft CR.-Ohio), both crit
ics of President Truman’s propos
al for a four-year, $17,000,000,000
outlay, and speaker of the House
Martin (R.-Mass.).
erating the usual two hours,
exchange, were closed. The Chi
cago board of trade operated as
usual.
