| Summary: | Wreckage May Hold Secret Of Aviator's Fate. WRECKAGE MAY HOLD SECRET OF AVIATOR'S FATE ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Feb. 25 (UP)—Wreckage of an airplane with its pontoons scarred by fire defied positive Identification today, although it was believed possibly to explain the disappearance of two Japanese aviators who disappeared over the Bering sea on a projected round-the-world good will flight. The wreckage was found on the shore of Amook island by Archie Brunton of Uyak bay. He said it apparently had been there several months and presumably was washed up from Cook inlet. Hugh Brewster, U. S. Department of Commerce aeronautical inspector, indicated belief the wreckage might be that of the Japanese fliers, sponsored by a Tokio newspaper, or the plane flown by Russell Merrill, which disappeared in approximately the same area. Both ships disappeared several months ago.
