MOTORS, INC. Phone 80 Air Search Set At Klamath Falls For Portlanders KLAMATH FALLS (."Pi A camp was set up Saturday morn ing at the forest service airstrip at Silver Lake (Lake county) as base for a co-ordinated air -ground search for 'a plane missing since March 21 with i four Portland res idents aboard. The Klamath branch of the Ore gon air search and rescue unit will undertake the search. The lost craft, a yellow Beech craft biplane, vanished in a snow storm after leaving Lakeview and in late March was the object of one of Oregon' s widest air searches. Aboard were Lee Blakkolb, 47, owner and pilot; his wife Thelma, 39; W. B. Lundstrom, 39, and hit wife, Helen, 31. ' The party had flown with the Oregon goodwill tour to Havana and dropped out of sight on the last leg of the flight home. The last authenticated report of the plane was that it was seen over the village of Fremont on state highway 31, between silver Lake and the junction of 31 with U.S. 97. At that time it was fly ing at tree-top level in a bunding snow. There were other reports that the plane was seen or heard farth er north and east toward Prine ville, but none could be pinned down. Ixcal fliers who took part in the original search believe the craft is down in a butte area east of highway 31 and south of US 97. Now that most of the snow is gone from the area, the Klamath Falls men intend to give that rough section a thorough going over by plane, horseback and on foot. The camp will be set up this weekend and the search will con tinue each weekend until the plane is louna or the area entirely cov ered. M'Carthy Shakes Off His Accuser WASHINGTON, June 14.

Jackson Phone 7 Ttfft Offers Aid In Passing Excise Tax Cutting Bill WASHINGTON, June 14 (.- Senator Taft (R-Ohio) offered to day to help administration lead ers speed through the Senate any bill carrying what he regards as a reasonable reduction in excise taxes. Taft, who heads the GOP policy committee and is a member of the tax-handling finance commit tee, told a reporter he seei no reason why the Republicans and Democrats can't agree on some nuisance tax relief. "I would be glad to join with the administration in holding onlv brief hearings and getting a bul before the Senate if the House acta soon," Taft said. He didn't go into details as to what would be reasonable tax reduction. The House apparently is ready to pasa a tax bill once its ways and means committee agrees on a measure. A big question is how to agree on one that will have some chance of escaping a presidential veto aimed at preventing too great a loss in federal revenue. The House committee thus far has approved cuts in excises on furs, jewelry, pocketbooks, movie tickets and scores of other items estimated at almost double the $650,000,000 Mr. Truman recom mended. It has refrained from voting $650,000,000 extra in cor poration taxes which he proposed to offset the excise cuts. Mr. Tru man has said he will veto any tax cut bill that doesn't make up for the lost revenue elsewhere. Working toward a bill, the com mittee yesterday voted to tax the unrelated business activity of ed ucational, charitable, labor, trade association and other tax-exempt organizations. The new rules would not apply to unrelated business activities of religious organiza tions. Woodworkers Preparing Weyerhaeuser Strike PORTLAND, June 14.
