Woman Survives Ketchikan Plane Crash; 2 Dead

     Ketchikan (AP) The sole survivor of a plane crash, in which two Ellis airlines mechanics were killed, was flown here Thursday night by a Fish and Wildlife Service plane.
     Mrs. Naja Johnson was found unconscious at the wreckage which claimed the lives of her husband and William L. Johnson. The three had left Ketchikan on a fishing trip Wednesday. Their plane crashed later that day in a mountainous district 30 miles north of here.
