Alaskan Ranges Scene Of Search For Flyers. ALASKAN RANGES SCENE OF SEARCH FOR FLYERS EDMONTON, Alta., Feb. 10, (CP)—The next area to be covered in the hunt for six soviet flyers who disappeared during a flight from Moscow to North America will be the Alaskan mountain ranges, Sir Hubert Wilkins, commander of the Russian plane conducting the search, told a service club here today. "Those of us with polar experience still believe and hope the Russians may be alive, although many people seem to have lost hope," Sir Hubert said. Sir Hubert returned here yesterday and said he intends to order a new engine for his huge airship, now disabled at Aklavik, N. W. T: He brought a propeller with him to be repaired.
