Col. Donald B. Phillips, com mander of the Kingman army air field, decided to attempt a rescue from the inaccessible north rim after flying over the plateau today. National park rangers, attempting a rescue from the south rim, have viewed efforts from the higher north rim as impracticable, but Phil lips said he believed it "worth trying." . If the canyon walls can be scaled from the north rim it would preclude the necessity of getting a boat across the swollen Colorado river.

Already good many thousand troops of tho third New Zea land division vutcrnng of tho Vcllu Luvclla, Treusurlcs and Green island campaigns in tho northern Solomons have been or are being relosjod for essen tial Industry. With mtinpowor admittedly over-committud to the military, butter and cheese production have declined 10 per cent and a desired increase in military ox port of meat and wool has not been achieved. Because New Zeulund, like Australia, Is close to battlo zones, United Nations leaders in this part of the world acquiesced to conversion of New Zealand from a sourco of fighting men to a source of supplies. At the peak, New Zealand, with a population of only 1,000, 000, had 130,000 men under iirms, with more thun 100,000 of them overseas. Even after alio winnows essential workers from her army she will maintain for her size one of tho largest fighting forces on earth. Currently Now Zealand hus two infnntry divisions. One is in Italy. The other, in this area close to homo, barring unex pected replacements, may be scaled down to a smaller force. The change-over probably will not affect more highly special ized branches of tho service, such as the Royal New Zeulund air force. Several squadrons of KIWI fliers are still operating in the northern Solomons, and New Zealand aviators are fight ing in all parts of the world Britain, Italy, India and else where in the Pacific.
