DAKOTA WRECKAGE LOCATED
Received Thursday, 9.50 a.m. LONDON, Nov. 20. The wreckage of the Dakota aircraft which crashed in the Alps has been located on Italian soil, says Reuter's Paris correspondent. The plane was on a special flight from Munich to Istres, near Marseilles. The French reseue parties have been called off because of the visa difficulties and Italian parties are carrying on. The commandant at a French village, 15 miles from the scene, said that heavy snow storms and winds were hampering the rescue. The weather was too bad for flying. The first news of the crash came by radio from the plane, which gave its position as five miles from the Italian frontier, 35 miles southeast of Grenoble, in a desolate area of the Hautes Alps. The plane's radio told of the injured, and then went silent, and has not been heard since.
