SEARCH FOR FLYERS
SOVIET DISPATCHES PLANES ON QUEST MEN MISSING IN SIBERIA MOSCOW, Wednesday. The Soviet Government has dispatched an airplane to search for Lieutenant Carl B. Eielson and Borland off the Siberian coasts. It has also ordered two other airplanes to be sent to aid in the work. It is believed that the ice in the vicinity to be covered in the search Fill be too strong to permit of icebreakers being used. The rescue mission is to be commanded by M. Shestakoff, who is a national hero since his flight from Moscow to New York. He will use an airplane similar to the one in which he made his long flight.
