Four Lost 1 Men Reported Safe
LONDON, Mon. (2 p.m.)—Four Englishmen given up for lost in a Lockheed Lodestar plane which on October 29 vanished after its take-off from Croydon, are reported to be alive and well in Yugoslavia, says the Belgrade correspondent of the Daily Mail.
Zionist bandits, who seized the plane for use in Palestine, are said to be holding the men for ransom. The owners of the plane on November 2 advertised in Italian, French and Swiss newspapers fob information regarding its whereabouts, offering a reward of £250. An answer came from Berne, which sent Mr Geoffrey Welch, executive of R. A. Brand and Company, paper merchants, owner of the plane, flying to Milan with £1250, which he was prepared to pay in ransom. The money has not been paid over.
