No Trace Found Of Lost Flyers. NO TRACE FOUND OF LOST FLYERS FAIRBANKS, Alaska.— (U.P.) — Two weeks had passed today without a trace of the six Russian flyers who were lost in the arctic circle on a flight from Moscow to the United States. American flyers had withdrawn from the search. Sir Hubert Wilkins, arctic explorer, commanded a Russian-chartered searching plane which was operating from a, base at the mouth of Copperhead river. A Russian plane piloted by Zadkov, was at Saktoonia island, en route north from Point Barrow, and a Canadian plane piloted by Bob Randall was searching near Aklavik, on the arctic circle.
