No trace him has been found. The governor and his daughter rushed by plane from New York to help in the search.

Clinging to hope, the governor lid. "We want to be on hand to move at a moment's notice." Gov. Rockefeller flew over tangled vegetation for a personal search of the area less thai hour after arriving in Merauke his daughter, Mary btrawbndge, Michaels twin, studied the terrain in obvious dismav as the DC3 covered the coast from the village of Merauke to the Howard McDonnal, Livingston County circuit clerk.
