Facets of the search extended

01 airncius in a nail uozen snails
were cheeked. Dozens of "lips"
and rumors of sighted or downed
aircraft were investigated.
Even (he Coast Guard and the
Pentagon in Washington, D. C. got
into the act.
When the four-place, high-wing
Fnirchild, which is still missing,
took off from Lebanon at 6:15 p.m.
on June 14. it circled the field
once
It was last seen heading
east into the rugged ( ascade toot-
'hilt;
i r
with "plenty" of gas.
In the plane were pilot Dr.
Ralph Johnston, .13, well known
a lormer saiem resiurm.
Vacation Bound
They were headed fnr a vaca
tion in Minneapolis, Minn. There
ih.v were to ioin their wives and
familieSi who had gone ahead by
trajn whcn ,ne mrn falpd to ar
rive at MinneaDOlis on the follow
ing night Mrs Johnston called
friends in Lebanon.
This started the search, which
was to continue, when weather and
20 per cent ol nnssins! - plane ie
ports actually bear out.
No 1 light Plan
Through phone calls and radio
communications with other state
networks they first checked every
major airport from Lebanon to
Minneapolis along the missing fly
ers' intended flight route.
Before they left Lebanon. John
ston and Hartwick had indicated
ston and Hansen had indicated
they intended to head straight for
Boise, Idaho, via Bend and Burns.
Thev did not file a flight plan.
During the time of their flight the
foothills of the Cascades were
cloud covered.
Despite bad weather searching
began by 40 aircraft over some
4,000 square miles in the vast
forest-canyon area lying roughly
between the North Santiam Can
yon, Eugene. Bend and Redmond,
including the McKcnzie River
area.
The pilots, many of them friends
of Johnston, flew out of Lebanon,
Springfield and Redmond. They
were in communication via raaio
with the several hundred ground
searchers. The latter, all volun
teers like the pilots, included log
gers, hiking clubs, sheriffs' parties
and friends.
Retrace Flights
The hunt was officially halted
last Thursday, a week after the
missing plane had started on its
fateful flight.
Then the next day two forest
rangers reported they had sighted
a plane on the upper McKenzie on
the day and time of the missing
plane's flight. Snyder already
knew a plane had gone from Sa
lem to Bend on that same day.
The question was: Was this lat
ter plane the same one sighted nn
the McKenzie" Or was the Mr
kcnue plane the missing craft? To
Salem to Bend on the evening of
June 14. But he had gone high and
'taken
direct route.

a Monday, "he was not the pilot of
