The freak accident was only one
of a string touched off by:the for

yesterday on a barren mountain
peak 35 miles northwest of: Stevens
Village on the Yukon river.
Radioed Position
English, flying a smalt Cessna
for the Wien Alaska Airlines, ra
dioed his position after engine fail
ure brought him down.
The 10th Rescue Squadron heli
copter exhausted its fuel in search
ing for the civil airman, then
larided at Stevens Village while
more gasoline-was flown in from

Meanwhile, other warrhen

about to make a landing when the
crew chief pulled the pin from the
smoke bomb. It was to have been
used in determining the wind di
rection. Sudden Explosion
A sudden explosion blew out the
windows of the rotor-ship, lilled
the cabin with phosphorous flames
and crushed the bones of the crew
man's right hand.
Holding the sizzling bomb with
his left hand, the airman managed
to toss it out of the window while
the pilot, burned on the face and
left leg, set the helicopter down
safely.
The rescuers then were In the
position of receiving first aid frotn

English, unhurt In his forced
landing, helped the two rnen out

over the burned men, air force
men watched amazed as a Piper

planes took off, roaring down the ;
mountain slope to gain air speed.
The Injuried men were ferried In

Only a few independent strip

"I think John L's afraid there's
too much coal above ground for
him to do much business with

While the miners spend the

very busy trying to do business
with two segments of the mine

new contract. The present mine
pact expires June 30.
Tomorrow the UMW begins
contract talks with U.S. Steel
