Plane Lost- In Rockies; 22 missing BUTTE, Mont.-(A")-An air- liner carrying 22 persons vanished into swirling snow over the conti- nental Divide yesterday and a mounting blizzard quickly ham- strung the search for it. Snow and peak-shrouding clouds first hampered and then halted aerial search. Snow and mud on back roads blocked automobiles and forced ground parties to start climbing afoot into a craggy area 15 miles east of here where several persons reported hearing a heavy explosion. THE WESTBOUND Northwest airliner, .with 18 passengers and four crew members aboard, left Helena at 9:53 a.m. (EST), headed for Butte.

Debaters Blast Draft Privilege For Students Allowing students special con- sideration under a peace-time draft is frankly undemocratic, Russell Church, '52, declared last night before an audience of 15 students at the Michigan Forum debate in Architecture Auditorium. "Obviously," Church charged, "special consideration for students would be unfair, since it would heavily favor the upper economic classes." Rising to defend the issue, Gor- don MacDougall, '52, admitted the special consideration would be un- democratic, but maintained that it had to be accepted at the pres- ent time. Bob Bard, '53, also spoke for the proposal. Dave Belin, '51BAd., Church's team-mate, arguing against spe- cial consideration, asserted that students, as present and future leaders, are sorely needed in to- day's peacetime army. Sen.

Planes Blast Vital Red Centers By The Associated Press American air power blasted Red positions near the northwestern Korean border yesterday in the second greatest air attack of the Korean war. More than 600 planes were used in the big raid against cities, towns, bridges and Red positions. The air armada consisted of U.S. air force, navy and marine planes plus big bombers from southern Japan. * * * THE BIG air strike ranged all along the Manchurian frontier, almost to the Soviet Siberian bor- der. The main target was Sinuiju, a major supply and transportation center for the Chinese and North Korean Communist forces. On the ground in northwest Korea, U.S. and British troops advanced up to three miles north of the Anju. The only enemy resistance was on the left flank of the UN forces near Pakchon. In the northeast, China Red re- sistance eased suddenly and U.S. Marines advanced more than a mile in m~ountainous country to- ward the big Changin power dam, 36 miles northwest of the east coast city of Hamhung. MEANWHILE at Lake Success, the UN Korean Committee unani- mously approved a resolution last night assuring the Chinese Com- munists, in effect, that their bor- der with Korea will be respected by the UN forces under MacAr- thur. The resolution was seen by some as groundwork for a Se- curity Council appeal for the Chinese Communists to with- draw from Korea. In Washington, however, Rus- sian foreign minister Andrei Vi- shinsky said last night that he doubts that Chinese Communist troops are now fighting in Korea. "Perhaps there are some volun- teers," he admitted, "but I doubt that any Chinese Communist troops have appeared there."
