Police quoted him as saying he broke away from a formation flight over Polish territory for his 60- mile dash from Communist rule. He crash-landed the craft on a military drilling field of this Dan ish island, climbed out smiling and Identified himself as a friend of Lt.

Re ports of five persons gave point to the search, George Douglas said , late Wednesday. Douglas here from Salem to di rect the search for the state Board of Aeronautics, said it would take the ground party two days to get into the Bald Knob Mountain area where the clues pointed. Meanwhile, aerial search will be continued as weather permits, he said. Wednesday 14 planes scoured the Rogue and Illinois Valleys but bad weather pushed them back shortly after noon and by mid-afternoon Douglas said all planes had been sent back to their bases at Med- ford. North Bend, Grants Pass and Gold Beach. Illahe rancher John Parker came in Wednesday to report that five men in his area were in agree ment on hearing a low-flying plane at 7:25 a.m. Monday, headed due north. So to follow up this wheeled vehicles will set out Thursday, one with Sgt. Charles Childers in charge of a National Guard group and the other with Orville Bell in charge. They will work on a line of sight north from Illahe, across the ranch of Bobby Doerr and up the slopes of Bald Knob Mountain.

But the engine and interior were undamaged. The pilot was reported to have told Danish police that his MIG was of a newer type than Jarec ki's. A high military source said, how ever, it did not look like a prize catch. The general lines appeared the same. Top Danish jet experts worked Wednesday night under tarpaulin covering the plane to dis cover whether it contained any se crets not already known to the West County lying east of the Meridian line, exclusive of the northern most section of Monitor. About 273 farms are included in the ad dition. Voting for the soil conservation district, the first in this area, was considered by Polling Superin tendent R. F. Cook of Scotts Mills, to be good.

Federal Judge Rejects O&C Land Change WASHINGTON UFi An effort to force transfer of 472,000 acres of Western Oregon land from jur isdiction of the Department of Agriculture to the Department of Interior was rejected Wednesday in U. S. district court. Judge Alexander Holtzoff said he believed the action, brought by Clackamas County, Oregon, was in effect an action against the gov ernment in which the government would be a defendant. As a result, he granted a mo tion by the Justice Department dismissing the action. Richard L. Merrick, Washington attorney for the Oregon county. immediately gave notice of appeal to the circuit court He told news men later, however, he would not expect the case to come before that tribunal for argument before June, 1954.
