Crash Survivor Has
Five Toes Amputated
NEW YORK UP) — Helen Klaben,
who spent seven weeks stranded
in the frozen wilds of the Yukon,
had the five toes of her right foot
amputated today.
The Brooklyn girl, 21, was found
a week ago, along with Ralph
Flores of San Bruno, Calif., the
pilot of a plane that crashed while
they were flying over rugged
country.
When Miss Klaben was found,
the toes were gangrenous and it
was thought at that time that they
would have to be amputated.
A spokesman at Columbia Pres
byterian Hospital, where the oper
ation was performed, said the girl
was in good condition, and would
be hospitalized for several weeks.
Miss Klaben also will receive
treatment for a small ulcerated
area on her right heel but no sur
gery is anticipated.

Graham Cracker
Ration Thumbed At
CARTHAGE, Mo. <*> — “Man, I
don’t think I ever want to see
another graham cracker.”
Michael Randall, 12, of Joplin,
Mo., summed up the feelings of
822 Boy Scouts who stumbled out
of a Civil Defense shelter Sunday
after a 36-hour survival test.
The boys were supposed to live
on CD survival crackers. But there
weren’t enough, so graham crack
ers were issued — eight to a meal,
with only water to wash them
down.
Ronnie Hailey, 11, Joplin, was
asked what he got out of the
test.
“A weak stomach,” he replied.
The shelter was the unfinished
basement of Our Lady of Ozarks
College. During the test, the boys
earned merit badges in first aid,
and took courses in radiological
monitoring and communications.
Inspectors Say
“Its a Miracle” Pair
Survived Plane Crash
WATSON LAKE, Y.T. (tf —
Helen Klaben and Ralph Flores
lived 50 days in Canada’s frozen
wilderness after their plane crash
ed Feb. 4. A man who inspected
the wreckage says its a wonder
they even lived through the crash.
“I can’t understand why the
gas tank didn’t catch fire imme
diately,” said helicopter pilot
Chuck Ford Sunday. Ford flew
a team of Canadian Department of
Transport investigators to the
scene.
He said the forward gasoline
tank, which was full when the
plane crashed, was crushed. The
I engine was twisted under the
wreckage and both wings were
torn off. One wing could not be
found.
“It’s a miracle they lived,” said
Ford.
The plane rammed a mountain
side near the Yukon-British Col
umbia border about 75 miles from
here. Miss Klaben and Flores were
rescued last week. She is recuper
ating at home in Brooklyn, N.Y.,
and he is recovering in a hospital
here.
Miss Klaben has said she kept
a diary during part of their ordeal.
Alex Van Bibber of Watson
Lake, a Northern Affairs Dept,
employe who visited the scene
with the investigators, said there
was no sign of a diary.
Earlier, Mounted Police officers
who visited the scene were re
ported to have picked up a brief
case and taken it to Whitehorse.
They refused to say what was in
it.
Flores and Miss Klaben both
said they wanted the diary.
