BB,t.ZIL Out at the Douglas plant I've been talking to people who know plenty about strange ta.lea of aviation -- and ea.c h may think he can top the other~ with a weird one about flying. But, they'd have trouble toppin 6 this next bit of news. Which comes from Braz 11, a.nd tells of a. U.S. government official and four Braz 11 ian Air rorce of:tioera, captured and held h ostage in wild country of the interior. No, they a.re not prisoners of pr1m1tlve tribes.

At the time there was an -■■ heroic s e arch for the lost nlane - official effort ■ PAZIL - a But there alao was an unofficial party -- which found 1ts way to the scene of the crash. It would appear that t h e hea d of a Braz111an airline named DeB a ros, had t h e notion of sponsoring ax••• a spectacular exped1t1on -- a pa,rty of airmen, newepapermen,and Ind1a.n guides. They were flown to the s■u■u remote wilderneaa, and dropped by parachute. They found the scene of the crash, all right, and then became aware of a predicament. Having gone in by parachute, they had no way to get out. They were aun~os e d to have a helico~ter, but it broke down and there they were, about thirty of them, stuck 1n the remote wildernes H of 3ungle country, not know1ng what to do. These are what the dispatch calla: Thrill seeking soldiers of fortune, the unofficial adventurer•. This was followed by an official expedition at the scene, go1n , in by h e licopter, headed by Scott Magnes s , sat ty advisor to the *x• American Civ i l Aeronautics Adm1n1atrat1on.
