They went to the nearby farm of Dick Randall to get him to shoot the bear. But Randall was out for partridge and his gun was out with him. The men waited awhile hoping- Randall would return, but he didn't. In the meanwhile, the bear had tired of waiting and lumbered off out of sight. That bothered the road work-ers.

After a 12-hour rest for the crew the plane took off at 3:25 a. m.

today and crashed 15 minutes later. Reports received at Gander Airfield from American Airways officials said rescue planes which flew over the area reported the wreckage was burning four hours afterward, and it was unlikely that anyone aboard lived through it-Jacques Charmoz, captain for Air France Transport, said in New York that he flew over the scene of the crash two hours afterwards and there was no sign of lie. "I could sec the glow of the explosion before I took off," he said. "After the takeoff we circled the wreck. The plane hit the side cf a hill quite high up and was still smoking.

"The light was poor and I could not identify any part of the plane. I saw a burnt spot on the hillside. It is a fairly wooded hill. I could see no path cut through the trees. The plane probably went straight into the hill." Coast Guard reports indicated that the plane hit about a half-mile up the side of the hill and 100 feet from the top of a slope covered with rocks and scrub trees.

A Gander dispatch quoted cf-ficals at Argentia Air, Ease near St. John's, as expressing the belief that a gasoline tank on the plane exploded. Also attending the meeting will be Lloyd K. Neidleinger, dean, and A. I.
