He is Karl W. Collett, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Collett, a prominent construction expert and one of the builders of the Hoover Dam in Arizona. He and his family lived in Calgary, Alberta. The plane disappeared Sunday, Dec. 3 in the stormy Western Canada wilderness and some officials have expressed the fear it may never be found. The plane disappeared after receiving permission to drop from 14,000 to 8,000 feet because one engine was gone and the wings were coated with ice. Only 70 minutes out of Vancouver on a flight to Montreal the plane was turned back to Vancouver in a desperate effort by the veteran pilot to save his 59 passengers and two fellow crew members. Some officials feared that the 46 men and 16 women aboard the plane never would be found, making this the worst disaster in the history of Canada aviation and one of the 10 worst aviation disasters of all time. The big plane went down among valjagged peaks and wind-sweleys where other aircraft have met tragic fates. A Canadian Pacific airliner crashed in the same general area 14 years ago and was not found for nine months. Trans-Canad- ionela Alice B.
