Missing Portland couple believed dead on Mount St Helens
Woodland Washington July 14 Discovery of a bandana worn by Mrs Clinton Smith on her hat during the Mount St Helens ascent and of an alpenstock frozen in snow has led searchers to cease hoping for survivors. The Smiths likely fell into crevasses as a fierce snowstorm hid visibility. Teaming with others, 50 searchers, including eight to ten from Portland, probe the southeast slope but progress is hampered by a limited telephone line and remoteness of Cougar. Mrs Smith expresses cautious hope as the search continues for the missing couple and their companions. Miss Verd Monroe and R S Carroll report daily efforts despite dangerous gale conditions.
