B:r the Associated Pres*. SEATTLE, December 20 (A*). —Two rescue planes, piloted by Joe Crosson and Harold Gillam. today were believed to have reached the northeastern Si berian mainland to inaugurate a search for Carl Ben Eielson, noted Arctic flyer, and his mechanic, Earl Borland. Crosson and Gillam hopped off yes terday at Teller, Alaska, for a 500-mtle flight to the vicinity of North Cape Siberia, where Eielson and Borland were last reported November 9. For an hour and a half the planes of Crosson and Gillam could be seen from Teller, fighting their way westward over the Bering Sea. Far to the west were fog banks, which the rescue planes were believed to have passed. Although several attempts previously had been made to fly through the fog and go in search of the lost airmen, none succeeded. Crosson and Gillam were the first to break through. The flyers intended to establish a base in Siberia, from which rescue planes can operate more advantageously. The base will be supplied from the Alaskan mainland Y planes detailed for that purpose, which will allow the aircraft allocated to scout duty to cruise over a wide area in Siberia. The air distance from Teller to North Cape Is approxi mately 500 miles, a flight on which gasoline consumption is so heavy that little fuel ordinarily remains for scouting. Eielson and Borland dropped from sight while attempting to reach the fur trading ship Nanuk. — ■ ■■■ FOUR DROWNED AS AUTO FALLS OVER FERRY SIDE Man, Woman, Two Children Are Pinned Under Water in Closed Machine.

By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES. December 20.—Helen Lee Worthing, former New York stage beauty, resumed her place today aa mistress of her home in the Negro sec tion of Los Angeles after effecting a rec onciliation with her husband. Dr. Eu gene C. Nelson. The reconciliation followed a meet ing yesterday in an attorney’s office. Both the former actress and her hus band said their differences had followed a dispute over another woman, and that “all has been forgiven and forgotten.” The airing not only explained the disappearance two years ago of Miss Worthing, but brought the first inti mation to friends here that Dr. Nelson is not entirely of Caucasian blood. “To me he Is not what the world would call a Negro,” Miss Worthing said. “He is not black In skin or black In heart.” The former Ziegfeld ‘’Follies” girl said she was married to Dr. Nelson in Tijuana in June of that year. For a time they lived in an exclusive Holly wood neighborhood, but later moved to the Negro section of Los Angeles, where Dr. Nelson has an extensive practice. Hunter Devours Mosquitoes.
