NEW AIRPLANES JOIN IN SEARCH Both Are Rented by Russia, but Are Piloted by American Airmen. BARROW, Alaska, Aug. 22. (£>)— A great but virtually crewless search for the missing soviet transpolar plane grew more determined today as veteran northland flyers "guessed" blond Sigismund Levaneffsky and his five companions were down somewhere in Alaska. Two more planes joined in the search today. Flying northward from Puget sound in Washington, a Sikorsky amphibian, piloted by King Baird and chartered by the Russian government, was expected in Fairbanks with additional radio equipment requested by officials. The plane's destination is Barrow. In New York Pilot Roger Q. Williams announced he would take off today for Fairbanks. His copilot will be Charles West, Teterboro, N. J. Williams, who made a nonstop transatlantic flight in 1929, planned to stop at Cleveland, Edmonton, Alberta and Skagway, Alaska. His ship is a cabin biplane rented to the Russian government. Sir Hubert Wilkins and Pilot Hollick-Kenyon, flying a giant seaplane, took off from Coppermine, N. W. T., with enough gasoline to last 4000 miles. The flyers were expected to go west to Aklavik, where part of the search forces will be Pilots Jimmie Mattern, American flier; Bob Randall, Canadian, and Zedkoff, Russian, were weather bound here. At Fairbanks, Pilot Joe Crosson, famed Alaska mercy flyer, and two other pilots were likewise grounded by bad weather.
