No Captive Fliers Found In China
SICHANG China Oct 15. Delayed. U S army group returns from western China with no evidence that American fliers were enslaved by Lolo tribes. They recovered the bones of one crew member from a 1943 B 29 crash and found three other bodies earlier. Remaining six crew members are rumored captured but unverified.

Lt Col Herbert Wurtzier and Capt Edward L McAllister led the expedition and said investigations continue. Five crashes in the area known, with weeks needed to confirm rumors and possible release negotiations.
