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. (PI
Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) had a
brief encounter in a Senate office
building corridor today with a man
who grabbed him by the shoulder
and called the senator "a corrupt
rn without any morals."
McCarthy shook him off and
walked away.
The man identified himself to re
porters as Robert Beresford, a law
yer of San Jose, Calif. He said he
was national chairman of the Com
mittee of Unorganized Americans
and had come to Washington to
"expose" McCarthy.
Beresford said he had been try
ing unsuccessfully to get a hear
ing before the senate foreign ref
lations subcommittee investigating
McCarthy's accusations of Commu
nism in the State department. He
said he wanted to tell the commit
tee about McCarthy s record as a
state judge in Wisconsin.
When McCarthy ignored Beres
ford, pulled away and walked off,
Beresford called: "What's the mat
ter? Are you afraid of me?"
McCarthy is a husky man of
about 190 pounds. He appeared to
have about a 40-pound edge on
Beresford, . a sandy-haired man
who was nattily dressed.

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.
