(CP) —The heroism of Pilot James Dodson, former University of Washington student, was hailed today while he and two others began the road to recovery from injuries received in a plane crash in which another man lost his life. Dodson, despite a broken ankle and a broken nose, pulled the men from the wrecked plane after it had plunged into Karta lake, 50 miles inland, Sunday night and set out for help on a raft made from the plane's pontoons. He rowed five miles along the lake until a rescue plane appeared. Before leaving his companions, he got them to the beach and forced them to lie on the cushions and door of the plane.
