time.
The passenger list included K.
Nielsen, bound for Anchorage,
Alaska. There was no other iden

- . ■■ TO
ST. JOSEPH, Mich. (>P), A grim
search got underway today in the
depths of Lake Michigan where
it is virtually certain that the lost
Northwest Airlines plane went
down.
An airline representative left
little doube that this resort com- ,
munity was the scene of doom for
the capacity-loaded ship when he
identified a torn piece of blue
blanket early today. The blanket
was marked with the letters NW.
Other traces of plane wreckage
and pieces of human bodies were
lound on the lake waters last
night. An oil slick has been sight
ed.
There was only the faintest |
hope that any of the 58 passen
gers aboard the airship could
have lived through the worst air
disaster in this country’s history.
Paul Benscoter, sent here by
N.W.A. to help direct the search
for the big plane, looked over
some grim tokens of the crash—
bits of bodies, the blanket frag
ment, a man’s fur-collared jacket,
other pieces of clothing, part of a
suitcase.
But he said a plane log and
maintenance report. apparently
did not belong to the Northwest
plane.
The discoveries were made 12
miles northwest of here and six to
eight miles off shore. At that point
the lake is 110 feet deep.
The plane carried 55 passengers
and a crew of three.
As it was crossing Michigan, a
thunderstorm with lightning and
winds of gale force was raging.
The plane w'as last heard from at
12:15 a.m. Saturday in a “routine”
report from pilot Robert Lind, 35,
Hopkins, Minn.
Lind made no mention of a
storm.
However. Mrs. Bertha Busse,
60. and naval reserve officer R. P.
Helm, both residents of this area,
told of a “flasll in the sky” and a
“red and white burst.”
Univ. of California
Fires 157 Teachers
LOS ANGELES, <;P)—The Uni
versity of California, world’s larg
est educational institution, has
fired 157 faculty members and
other employees who refused to
sign statements saying that they
are not communists.
''‘The dismissals were ordered
I Friday by the board of regents af
i ter a stormy meeting at which it
upheld recommendations of the
university president, Dr. Robert
Gordon Sproul.
President Sproul told the re
gents that 9,929 letters were sent
to the university employees, ask
ing them to state as a condition of
employment that they are not
members of the Communist party.
All the non-signers were given
the right to a hearing before the
committee on privilege and tenure
of the academic senate. The 157
who were fired ignored this right.
The dismissals are effective
June 30. Names of those discharg
ed were not disclosed, since they
could make re-application for
their jobs by signing the non-com
munist statement in their new
contracts.
