Eager Search Combs Arctic Icebreaker Plows Sea as Planes Zoom in Pilot Hunt BARROW, Alaska (/P)—The hunt for six Soviet airmen, missing for a week In the Arctic, got under way In earnest Friday with fliers of three nations converging on the area to be covered. Eager to repay the lost Pilot Sigismund Levaneffsky for a rescue in Siberia four years ago, the Texas flier Jimmie Mattern soared out of Fairbanks toward the Arctic coast in his distance plane. The Soviet icebreaker Krassin, reputedly carrying planes, stood somewhere off Point Barrow. Wilkins Nears Goal. In a great flying boat Sir George Hubert Wilkins, British explorer, and four fliers raced across far northwestern Canada to establish a rescue base near the Alaska border, preparatory to going into the hunt. The Russian flier Zadkoff reached Point Barrow Thursday night, Joining Bob Randall, Canadian flier who had been shuttling along the Arctic coast for three days. Mattern went into the hunt without his refueling plane but the latter craft left Whitehorse, Yukon territory, for a 700-mile hop to Fairbanks, where it planned to pick up fuel and supplies and follow the Texan into the Arctic wastes.
