FORCED DOWN IN ALPS
Is Hinkler Still on Swiss Side of Mountains? (Continued from pace 1.) United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received January 17, 2.40 p.m.) BASLE, January 16. Captain Hope has ascertained that a policeman at Montana Vermala saw a machine heading towards the Simplon half an hour after the report from Morgms. There were no Swiss or French machines in that locality that day. Hinkler should have been there at 8 a.m., but if the machine were seen at 11 a.m. this shows that he was trying for some time to get through the cloud barrier which was thick around Jura that day. Lack of news on the Italian side suggests that the airman did not get across. It is significant that Captain Hope this morning feared that he would have to make a forced landing at a height of 7000 feet, but surmounted the trouble though there was ice on the carburetter when he landed. Captain Hope will search Montana a Vermala to-morrow.
