“Return ‘of the carpenters to |

ers‘who had been made Idle by
the 12-day strike to start work
again. °

FAIRLY GOOD

_.Ernie Rodda, business agent
of the carpenters’ union, des-
cribed the agreement as “fair-
ly satisfactory.” It was short
orf a conciliation board's recom-
mendation of ‘$2.55 an hour
retroactive to April 1 and $2.60
from next January. |
« “We accepted less than the
conciliation award because of
the hardship and suffering
among other unions as a result

of our stand,” said Union
President George Maynes.
He said the negotiations

Sunday also clarified “an aw-
ful lot of issues that have been

confused between - labor and
management.”
Mr. Rodda said the: :union

ter a fourth member of the
climbing party was hauled to
the summit.

Further attémpts to rescue the
three men today appeared un-
likely. Snow had blanketed the
upper wall by dawn.

“To go down the wall in this
much snow would be suicidal
folly that would help no one,”
one guide remarked.

The only climber whose posi-
tlon is known’ to rescuers is Ital-
fan Stefano Longhi, 44. Longhi
was injured in a rock fall sev-
eral days ago. He has remained
dangling from a rope 300 feet
below the ledge where the two
others sought shelter 1,200 ‘eet
from the summit of the 13,036-
foot peak.

Longhi was reported ‘still alive
Sunday but the Elger rescue
headquarters said today he now
is beHeved dead of exhaustion.

Telescope obseryers saw his
body swinging upside down and
motionless atuthe end of a
length of rope, almost compl (c-
ly covered with “snow. Guides
sald a shift of the rope during
the bligaztrds must have turned
him during the night?

While available evidence
pointed to lightning as one
possible cause of ‘the mid-af-
‘fernoon air tragedy, investi-
gators set about an inquiry.

The plane, owned by Maritime
Central Airways, had been char-
tered by an Ontario veterans’
association to return a rroup of
.|Canadians—many of -them for-
mer British servicemen—to their
homes after a vacation In the
United Kingdom.

All but two of the passengers—
a Charlottetown father and his

 

five-year-old son—were from
Ontario.
Issoudun villagers told of

hearing a “frightening blast” as
the plane plunged into the
swamp beside thick bushes.

It was last seen whining into

 

the advance clouds of a vicious
thunder Storm.

 

DEBRIS“LATTERS' AREAL

Clothing; “passports and parts
of. bodies were strewn over acres.
of the swamp.

The body of an infant lay near
the empty pilot’s seat. and: a
fragment of a navigation map.
At another spot, was a human
arm.

No other bodies were immedi-
ately found.

The plane left Keflavik, Iee-
land early Sunday and checked
in by radio at Moncton, N.B.,
Mont Joli, Que., and Quebec City.
Minutes after passing Quebec,
it crashed.

An air farce plane from Tren-
ton, Ont., dropped three mem-
bers of a para-rescue squad
which sent back-the brief mes-
sage: :

“There are no survivors.” MCA
officials here said they had “ab-
solutely no idea of what caused
the plane to crash,”

The aircraft was one of three
DC-4’s used for overseas charter
service. Regular MCA service is
mostly in the maritime pro-
vinees. .

The aircraft was piloted by
Norman - Ramsay of Montreal,
who. had been with MCA two
years. 4

“The 37-year- old pilot's licence

as a “good, well-trained pilot.”

The first to report from the
crash scene were the three RCAF
