Austrian-born Roxolana Skobelska and her 60-year-old mother, a native Rumanian, are passengers aboard the U. S. Army transport General Bundy, en route to the United States. Both are now stateless.
An official said Roxolana can speak eight languages and has studied law.
The girl and her mother are bound for Anchorage, Alaska, where they are to join friends, officials said. Their sponsor is listed as Mary Glennan of Anchorage.
Officials said they did not know whether any more DP's are headed for Alaska.
There are 802 DP's aboard the General Bundy--the second such group to go under a U. S. Act providing for admission of 205,000 refugees.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 10.--(AP)--An Interior Department spokesman said today no organized movement of displaced persons to Alaska is in prospect.
A report from Bremerhaven, Germany, yesterday said 802 Displaced Persons sailed on the Army transport General Bundy for the United States and Alaska.
H. Rex Lee, the Department's Assistant Director of Territories, told a reporter the Alaska-bound persons probably are individuals who have made their own arrangements with relatives or friends in the Territory.
"We know of no particular group of displaced persons planning to settle in Alaska," Lee said.
