'The search for atomic scientist Dr. Paul Eglund and Security Officer William Roberts, who disappeared on the eve of an expected atom bomb test explosion in the Monte Bellos, has now spread to China. Two men answering their descriptions are reported to have been seen in Hongkong a few days ago. Security police of the Western nations have intensified their efforts following receipt of this information. Meanwhile, police are trying to locate a launch missing from Onslow, Western Australia. The possibility that the two men may have been the victims of a boating disaster has not been ruled out.'
