Search Resumed For Prospectors LONGVIEW. Wash. (UP) Search resumed at dawn today for two elderly uranium prospectors missing in rough country near Spirit Lake since early Sunday. The pair was identified by the Washington state patrol as C. H. Allger, 85, Tacoma, and Charles Dickens, 70, of San Diego, Calif. Wet and weary searchers who gave up the hunt because of dark ness last night, held little hope that the oldsters would be found alive. A 12-man party, aided by forest service crews from the Lew is river ranger station and from Randle, had trouble organizing the search yesterday because of rain. A surviving prospector, 92-year-old J. F. Castle of Tacoma, noti fied the forest service Monday when his companions failed to re turn to a camp at Meta Lake where he had decided to remain. Originally the three had left their car at Spirit Lake Sunday and hiked to Meta Lake. Allger and Dickens then left with gieger counters in search of black ore which they thought was uranium Castle said they were dressed lightly and took no food with them.

(UP) The moth er of turncoat American GI Rich ard Tenneson, 22, of Alden, says she has received a letter from him saying he is coming home from Red China. Mrs. Portia Howe, who made a dramatic flight to the Far East In December, 1953, in an attempt to see her son and persuade him to come home, said she received the letter Tuesday at her farm near here. She quoted It as saying. "No matter what I say, I'll be put away. Tenneson was one of 23 Ameri can prisoners of war who chose to stay in Communist China in stead of accepting repatriation. Three others have already re turned. Mrs. Howe quoted the letter as saying in part: "I am coming back to the States coming home, but my friend, the Army, will see to it that I don't get that far. "It won't be long now. On the 23rd of August a representative of the Red Cross General Society came and guaranteed that it!ivp Americjin 1-entn.' hatlnra Pari wouldn't be too long. He said prep arations were already being made." Mrs. Howe, a devoutedly reli gious woman, said the letter came as a surprise. She said none of his recent letters hinted he might come home.

The only hope for relief lay In rising air temperatures, which would warm the ground and force the smog to rise and disperse. The dispersal point was designated as 95 degrees air temperature, but the Weather Bureau said the tem perature would not get above 90. The smog attack yesterday touched off a 20-mlnute "stay in doors" strike by 35 motorcycle messengers who refused to go out in the pall after three of them became ill. Henry Davis, manager of the Rapid Blueprint Co., ended the strike by purchasing 40 war surplus gas masks for his messen gers. Yesterday's attack was so bad Gov, Goodwin J.
