MOSCOW, Russia. The Russian dirigible V-6, in which thirteen of the
crew of nineteen were reported killed following a crash during a
practice flight in the Kandalaksha district, Murmansk, Russia,
above the Arctic Circle near the Finnish frontier. The six others
were said to be critically injured. The dirigible, which was
commanded by Gulovantzev, Soviet lighter-than-air expert, was on a
trial flight between Moscow and Murmansk, to decide whether it
should be flown to the aid of the four Russian scientists adrift on
an ice flow in the Greenland Sea.
