Eight Americans On Passenger List Of Canadian Craft Plane Disappears During Snow Storm Vancouver, B.C. (U.R) A crippled Trans Canada Airlines plane carrying 62 persons, in cluding at least eight Americans, disappeared Sunday night in a snowstorm and apparently crash ed in the mountains ringing the Fraser Vallev east of here. A TCA official said that if all of the 59 passengers and three crew members aboard die, the tragedy would be the worst in the history of Canadian aviation. Seventeen search planes head ed into the Fraser Valley this morning to search for the S685, 000 North Star liner and possi ble survivors. Ground parties were being organized in several snow-blanketed valley communi ties. The search armada concen trated on the route from Hope, B.C., to Vancouver, the plane's last reported route. Skies were overcast but snow had stopped falling. Football Players Aboard Three of the Americans aboard were professional football play ers who had travelled to Van couver to play in Saturday's East-West All-Star Shrine game. They were guard Calvin Jones, an All-American with last year's Iowa University eleven; Mel Beckct, former Indiana Univer sity end, and Mario DcMarco, former University of Miami, Fla., end. Jones was a first-year member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and Beckct and DcMarco vet erans with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Another of the Americans was identified as R. S. Stralton, Los Angeles. The other Americans were identified as Mrs. A. A. Ka foury, Portland. Ore.; Mrs. L. C. Burt, San Francisco, Anthony Folger. Dallas. Tex., and M. L. Bright. Fort Worth, Tex. Royal Canadian Air Force search and rescue personnel were working around the clock in investigation of a number of reports about the plane, includ ing one that said light had been seen on a mountain near the possible crash scene. Hope Is Slim They held little hope, how ever, that any of the reports had any basis in fact. An RCAF spokesman said the report of the mountain lights was "just one of many that we received during the night. We're investigating it." He said unidentified callers had told Royal Canadian Mount ed Police in the area of spotting a "light on top of a hill" near Abbotsford, B.C., the site of an auxiliary landing field some 50 miles southeast of Vancouver. The spokesman added, however, that the RCMP had not reported any officials such finding of its own. Reports Engine Lost RCAF Air-Sea Rescue Head quarters here said the plane would have run out of fuel by 1 a.m. (PST). Last radio contact was made with the plane over Hope, B.C., about 100 miles east of here. The pilot, Capt, Allan Jack Clarke, 35, of Winnipeg and Montreal, had reported the loss of one engine over Princeton, B.C., and was limping back td Vancouver., Over Hope, he ask ed for permission to descend from 14,000 to 8,000 feet because ice was forming on the wings. Given permission, Clarke esti mated his arrival time at Van couver at 7r30 p.m. Sunday. Min utes later, at about 7:10, radar and radio contact with the plane were lost. Crash Near Halsey Claims Two Lives Albany, Ore. (U.R) A two-car collision about one-and-one-half miles south of Halsev on High way 99E early yesterday took the lives of two persons, one of them a star athlete at Albany high school, and critically in jured a third. State police identified the dead as 17-year-old Patrick James Emmons of Albany and Donald Edward Creasy, 30, of Salem. Taken to Albany hos pital was Louise Rebecca Smith, 39, of Salem, a passenger in the Creasy car. , Police said that Emmons was northbound at the time of the accident and Creasy was head ed south. Creasy apparently lost control of his car and it crashed headon into the Emmons car. Officers worked for nearly 45 minutes before they could free Creasy from the wreckage. Both victims died about an hour after arrival at an Albany hospital.
