(AP Wirephoto) Brazilian Hostage Situation Brazilian Hostage Situation Settled; Groups Flown Out RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, (AP) — Members of two feuding expeditions to the wreckage of a Pan-American stratocruiser were being flown one by one today out of the thick Brazilian jungle where they had been taking turns holding each other prisoner. The bizarre sequel to Brazil's grim air disaster appeared to be ending happily after an aerial shuttle service began flying out the two men left from the official Brazilian-American search party and the remnants of 35 or so armed members of a private expedition financed by a wealthy presidential prospect. Latest reports said all but two of the official party have been hauled by helicopter back to their base at Lagoa Grande. Still in the jungle were Brazilian Air Force Maj. Miranda Correa and Scott Magness, U.S. civil aeronautics authority official from Miami, who reportedly were held hostage for a time by the freelance group as insurance for their own rescue. THREE PLANELOADS of parachutists dispatched to rescue the hostages were called back to Rio de Janeiro yesterday after the pair radioed their captors had released them. It was not clear just how many of the private party of Brazilians, guides and newsmen remained in the jungle clearing 900 miles north of Rio de Janeiro, where the double-decked strato-cruiser crashed April 29 with the loss of all 50 persons aboard. Adhemar de Bairros, former governor of Sao Paulo who finance a base 35 miles from the wreckage, started there May 10 on foot. Last Monday they got permission from the head of the free-lance party, Sao Paulo Deputy Lino de Mattos, to use their advance landing strip and the ensuing two days a U.S. Air Force helicopter dropped in members of the American-Brazilian group. On Friday they finally beat their way on foot to the wreckage. The Sao Paulo group had gotten there three days earlier, but following strict orders, said they did not touch the remains. Finding all the persons on the strato-cruiser dead, the official party buried the bodies and returned to its Lagoa Grande base. Magness and Correa remained behind at the parachutists' advance point. At this time de Barros' helicopter was out of kilter and the one used by the official group was developing engine trouble which since has put it out of commission. CORREA ORDERED Matos and his followers to hike to Lagoa Grande where they could be flown out by plane. The latter, not relishing the idea of slogging through jungle wilds reportedly inhabited by savage tribes, took Correa and Magness hostage. Later they apparently became alarmed at radio reports of the furor created by their action and turned their captives loose. Correa then reported that he was holding Matos captive, but last night Brazilian Air Force officials said peace had been established. Col. Sinval Castro, chief of staff and celery workers, wrote south coast needs labor celery, lettuce and miscellaneous vegetables. Imperial Valley, Hayward short of carrot workers, Coachella Valley has need for labor in the high beans, sweet corn and tomatoes. Some 20,000 workers quired at the peak of the chopping period in San Valero Valley in late May. This activities in peaches recalled more than an avail within a short time, april start. WASHINGTON (AP) — Recorder Lewis B. Hershey ed today that about 700 students will take the Selective Service defer tomorrow. WASHINGTON (AP) — Rate Banking committee dear additional testimony regarding allocation of sentimental materials before a final vote on a bill to wage-price controls and emergency curbs. It was not clear just how many of the private party of Brazilians, guides and newsmen remained in the jungle clearing 500 miles north of Rio de Janeiro, where the double-decked strato-cruiser crashed April 29 with the loss of all 50 persons aboard. Adhemar de Barros, former governor of Sau Paulo who financed the expedition, said only five remained at the scene. He said 14 of the group returned to Sao Paulo Monday and another 15 were en route. A dispatch from Belem quoted Pan-American officials as also saying some of the Sao Paulo group were still at their advance base about three miles from the wreckage. THE SLOW JOB of evacuating the men involves the following steps: 1. A helicopter flies one man at a time from the wreckage scene to Lagoa Grande, 30 miles distant. 2. A Piper Cub plane then takes him 40 miles to Esequiel. 3. A larger plane takes the men, two at a time, to Piaus in Gotos state. 4. Another craft takes them to Porto National, Goias, main base of the private expedition. The topsy-turvy situation arose after de Barros, impatient at the time it was taking officials to get an expedition to the crash scene, formed his own rescue party. It got there first by dropping parachutists 3½ miles from the wreckage, where they cleared a small space in the jungle for helicopter landings. The official party, which set up jungle wilds reportedly inhabited by savage tribes, took Correa and Magness hostage. Later they apparently became alarmed at radio reports of the furor created by their action and turned their captives loose. Correa then reported that he was holding Matos captive, but last night Brazilian Air Force officials said peace had been established. Col. Sinval Castro, chief of staff of the first air zone, told newsmen the incident should not be considered an armed rebellion, but a case of extreme recourse taken by men who were nervous over the delay in returning to civilization. Some hostility apparently also stemmed from a feeling among the free-lancers that their efforts had not been appreciated sufficiently by the official party. They also apparently resented United States citizens taking a hand in the affair. De Barros, a prospective presidential candidate and owner of a Brazilian air line, said last night he had not organized his expedition with a view to publicity, but for humane reasons. "We believed we could find someone alive," he said. Some reports said families of the plane victims, angered over the government's initial decision not to send a rescue party on grounds there could be no survivors, had appealed to de Barros. WASHINGTON (UP) — President Truman was quoted today as saying he hopes backers of State Attorney General Edmund G. Brown will win over a slate favoring Senator Estes Kefauver in California’s June 3 presidential primary. Migrant Workers Arriving for Spring Crops SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Out-of-state migrant workers already are beginning to arrive in California, the State Board of Agriculture was advised today by the State Department of Employment. However, the number so far is small, and the department is hard put to supply the labor needs of certain maturing spring crops. Among these, according to Ed Hayes, chief, is the strawberry harvest, where this year acreages have increased by two thousand to 7500, requiring a total of over 16,000 pickers at the late spring peak, an increase of 4000 workers over last year. Citrus harvest is also experiencing a shortage, Hayes said, with some 700 pickers needed in the Valencia orange groves. During June, an additional 4500 workers will be required. Hayes said there is a heavy demand for workers in all of the vegetable areas of the state. Central Coast districts want lettuce and celery workers, while the south coast needs labor for beans, celery, lettuce and miscellaneous vegetables. Imperial Valley, Hays said, is short of carrot workers, and the Coachella Valley has immediate need for labor in the harvests of beans, sweet corn and market tomatoes. Some 20,000 workers will be required at the peak of the cotton SABREJET PILOT IN KOREA—1st Lt. Keith P. Presson, Anaheim, is one of the U.S.A.F. F-36 Sabrejet pilots serving with the veteran 4th Fighter Interceptor Wing in Korea. He is shown climbing from the cockpit of his speedy jet fighter in combat flying gear after returning from a combat air patrol over North Korea. 4th Fighter pilots have destroyed more than 190 enemy MIG-15 jets, probably destroyed more than 30 and have damaged more than 200 others in fierce air battles high above "MIG Alley" in Northwest Korea. Presson scored his first aerial victory May 13 when he damaged one of the swept-wing MIGs. The 29-year-old jet pilot is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Bamesberger, 13252 Orangewood Ave., Anaheim.

Imperial Valley, Hays said, is short of carrot workers, and the Coachella Valley has immediate need for labor in the harvests of beans, sweet corn and market tomatoes. Some 20,000 workers will be required at the peak of the cotton shopping period in San Joaquin Valley in late May. Thinning activities in peaches require 800 men more than are available, and within a short time, apricots will start. WASHINGTON (UP)—Draft Director Lewis B.
