31 OP) A frenzied diamond hunt went on today around the wreckage of a trans Atlantic airliner in the bleak lowlands of Prestwick Airport. The, prize was estimated at upward of 1,000,000 ($2,800,0001. The cargo of rough bound for the United States for cutting and mounting was lost when a plane of the British Overseas Airways Corp. crashed arid burned Christmas Eve, killing 28 persons. The eva number of diamonds lost was not known.

One leading dealer in the- diamond market said the cargo of gerr, "lepie-sents one of th" biggest single losses the trade has ever known." In New York. Diamond DeSler Louis Baumgold said the plane carried a regular monthly shipment of diamonds for American dealers. Some of the missing stones vere reported to weigh as much as 50 carats in their uncut state. The finding of three diamonds at the crash site this morning spurred the search, carried on under heavy guard. Other stones were picked up later but the exact number was being kept secret.

The first three stones were picked up hy a London diamond expert, who said: 'This means that a minute search of the area will have to be made, since some of the, stones could have been trodden into the earth during the rescue work" The charred wreckage was being taken apart piece by piece in search of the diamonds and other mail. Airport officials said most. of (' mail had been recovered. The experts said if the heaf of the burning plane reached the diamonds directly, they could disintegrate, leaving nothing but. a light ash.

Insurance companies began inquiries seeking to know whether shipments they had insured" were on the flight. A consignment of diamonds for American dealers was shipped just before Christmas. But postal officials said they had not been able, to 'determine yet whether all of these were put-aboard the crashed plane.
