Air Missionaries May Still Live. AIR MISSIONARIES MAY STILL LIVE ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. 25. UP) —Two planes were dispatched Tuesday from McGrath to search for Brothers George J. Feltes and Marshall Lapeyre, "flying missionaries" long overdue on a flight from McGrath to Holy Cross mission on the Lower Yukon. A year ago this month another missionary plane brought north by Brother Feltes crashed at Kotzebue, Alaska, killing two priests and a civilian pilot. Brother Feltes, who did most of piloting but was not in the plane at the time, flew another plane across the continent from New York to Seattle this summer and shipped it north. Some Hope Felt. Brother George J. Feltes is known by the clergy and others at Gonzaga university. He was here two years ago as pilot of a plane bearing the late Rev. Father Delon from New York to Alaska and again last August for a day.
