SCIENTIST

Montoroy, Jan. 31.

Dr Linus Pauling, 58-year- old Nobel prize-winning chomist found by a search team today, spent a hair- raising 24 hours on narrow cliff edge 300 feet above the Pacific Ocean.

The disappearance of the world-famous selontist some hours after he left his two-rooni wooden cabin on his ranch in rough, isolated country 73 miles south of here for a walk yester- day morning resulted in a wide- spread search by forest rangers, bloodhounds and helicopters.

The search for Dr Pauling was abandoned late last night end resumed early today. Shortly be fore midday, one of the search- ers spotted the selentist clinging to a treacherous ledge on an almost sheer cliff overlocking the ocean.

Dr Pauling, exclled but 1031- harmed, told the rescue party that ufier leaving his cottage yesterday he followed a dear irail and then became lost on the cliffside.
