holders who have received the ! amount of their awards but have | not received about $60,000,000 in in- j threat, contend the proposed settlement would take all available German funds and leave them without opportunity tb collect.Among them are Western Electric Company, Equitable Trust Company, Atlantic Refining Company, Guaranty Trust Company, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Eastman Kodak Company, Swift and Company, and the Inter- : national Harvester Company.Most of the one hundred and fif-1 ty-four cases involved in the settle- j ment resulted from explosions at the I Black Tom, N.J., terminal of the i Lehigh Val!ey_ in M17, and the I Kingsland, Winslow, Ariz., April 6.\u2014Belief persisted today that an airliner, missing for three days with eight persons aboard, would be found in rugged, snow-covered country along the Arizona-New Mexico border \u2014 probably wrecked.Major Victor Bertrandias, export manager for Douglas Aircraft Corporation which built the plane- for sale to the 'Royal Dutch Airlines of Holland, held to such a conviction despite a two-day plane search of the area.The huge de luxe skyliner left Los Angeles on Saturday and was being \u201cferried\u201d to New York' for consignment to Holland.Bertrandias, who took full charge of the hunt, said the unsolicited reports of a plane having been seen in apparent distress \u201chave been too consistent\u201d to be ignored.Although searchers had not aban doned all hope, Major Bertrandias shook his head after a flight over the ML.Baldy region.\u201cIt\u2019s the roughest;
