Dr. Robert McCullouck, family
physician said Kathy hud been
dead “since last heard from Fri
day afternoon.” Then her terrified
screams drifted faintly up to her
mother, efforts to have her grab
a rope failed, and all was silent.
There was still water in the old
well after 45 years.
The parents had received the
news at home. And soon the
crowd, numbering hundreds of
other parents, began breaking up
silently.
Thus culminated the most con
certed rescue attempt of an indi
vidual since Floyd Collins was fa
tally trapped in a Kentucky cave
in 1925. That lasted days, this
hours that seemed like days.
It started after Kathy, running
a footrace with her elder sister,
Barbara, nine, and a cousin, Gus
Lyon, five, fell behind in the dash
across the vacant lat on the cor
ner of her block. When the older
children turned around, there was
no Kathy.
They called and looked, and
Gus almost fell into the concealed
well-hole himself when he heard
a faint scream coming up from
below. The kids ran for their
mothers.
Mrs. Fiscus called to her young
est. Frenzied screams, “Yes, yes,
yes,” came up in answer to all the
mother’s questions.
The fire department and police
were summoned. A rope was drop
ped and Kathy tried to grip it. But
she couldn’t fasten it around her
self as firemen hoped. The rope
went loose as Kathy slipped into
her tomb.
I Bulldozers, clamshell cranes and
rotary well diggers went into full
swing. One pit, 30 feet wide, went
down more than 75 feet, before it
was abandoned. Its sides started
to slide just after O. A. Kelly had
cut a window at 57 feet and said
he saw the girl’s arm and dress.
When it was abandoned. a
smaller 30-inch shaft was drilled
down beyond 100 feet and a 24
inch casing was sunk. That was
the shaft through which Kathy
was finally reached.
Early today the final chapter
was written. Bulldozers were
working full til* filling up the res
cue pits.
And so there would be no repe
titions for other Kathys and their
moms and dads—
A giant bulldozer dug in and
bent the top of the old well casing
over double and sealed it tight.
i Alaska Herring
I Quota Raised
((/P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The fish
and wildlife service announced
Friday an increase in the herring
quotas for Alaskan waters during
the next fishirg season.
Tentative quotas set earlier this
year were protested by Rep. Jack
son <D.-Wash.) on the ground they
would throw many herring fisher
men out of work. Secretary of the
interior Krug notified Jackson of
the increase. ‘
The quotas set allow 200,000
barrels for Southeast Alaska. Its
tentative quota was 150,000 bar
rels. The quota for Prince William
Sound is 150,000 barrels, a 50,000
barrel increase. The quota for the

Morrow-Tait Again
Delayed on Flight
VANCOUVER, B. C. (/P)—Mrs.
Richard Morrow-Tait has encoun
tered another hitch in her efforts
to resume a round-the-world
flight.
The red-haired British aviatrix
said yesterday the scheduled take
off in a “borrowed Seattle plane
for North way, Alaska, would be
delayed because of a faulty radio.
She expects to head up the Bri
tish Columbia coast Tuesday
morning with her new navigator,
Jack Ellis of Seattle, former Royal
Air Force flier.
From Northway, she will fly
over Tok, where her global flight
was halted last Nov. 21, then point
her war surplus trainer toward
Edmonton and—she hopes—home.
Mrs. Morrow-Tait, 25-year-old
housewife, said that if all goes
well she will reach England by
1 mid-May.
Her first plane, an RAF Percival
Proctor four, was damaged beyond
repair when it crash-landed on the
Alaska Highway at Tok. Since
then she has been attempting to
raise funds in Alaska, Canada and
the United States to obtain an
