Ore., Oct. 22 UP) An eight-year-old mystery was cleared today witn report tnat a plane in which Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Walbert of Medford disap peared Nov. 29, 1940, has been found.

Or ganized search was abandoned the next spring and the follow ing fall, after hunters had not reported it, rewards were with drawn. Allison Moulton, Medford at torney, today told this story of the finding: He, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Woold ridge of Central Point and Agnes Jones of Ashland were hunting In the area from his nearbv cab in. The morning of Oct. 13 Woold ridge decided to go Into the can yon which Moulton himself had not hunted since the Ian of 1940. A short time later he came back with the report of the plane. He said Identification was establish ed by a watch bearing Walberts name and a CAA Identification card on which the name of Wal bert was legible. The skeletons, he said, were side by aide in the plane. The plane apparently hit the tops of trees and came down, shearing off one wing. There were several near by spots where emergency landings could have been attempted, he said, but there was fog In the area at the time of the crash. William H. Walbert of Port land is expected here late today to go to the scene. Neutral 6 Asks Russia To Lift Blockade (Continued from Page One) tlon) is along the right line."
