Baby Alligators Missing

Port Jervis, N.Y. — James A. Farley's supposedly air-minded baby alligator couldn't be located tonight.

The sharp-toothed infant, and another consigned to Mayor F.H. La Guardia of New York, both reputed to be aboard an Eastern Airlines plane which made a forced landing near here last night, were missing from the wreckage.

Post office officials who superintended the forwarding of six sacks of registered mail and three sacks of ordinary letters on the plane said they found no trace of the alligators.

They were reported shipped from West Palm Beach, Fla., by Mayor Ted Brown to La Guardia and by Postmaster O.B. Carr to Farley.
