Scouting Aircraft Locates Mass on Slopes of Mt. Baldy in Arizona
SHAPELESS MASS IS
SEEN, COVERED SNOW
Fire Appears to Have Raged Leaving No Hope
8 Passengers Alive
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, April 6.—The tangled wreckage of a large airplane, has been sighted on the slopes of Mount Baldy, 90 miles southwest of Winslow, Arizona.
The wreckage was sighted by Major D. A. Smith, piloting a search plane.
Although there was no identifying object visible, the wreckage being a shapeless mass, searchers held that no doubt the wreck hidden in the Aspen grove is the huge airliner that left Burbank Saturday morning for New York with two women and six men aboard.
The wreckage is half covered with snow and apparently burned which gave no hopes of the survival of any passengers.
A ground party is being organized to go to the scene and bring out the victims.
Forest trails are covered deep with snow and offer great difficulty in reaching the wreckage.
