New Lead Found In Hunt for Plane Everett, Wash (IP) A possi ble new lead was found late Monday in the search for a plane which has been missing in the Cascade Mountains for more than a week with three Cana dians aboard. The plane disappeared nine days ago on a flight here from Ellensburg. Aboard were War ren Wall, 36, Duncan, B. C, his wife, Mary, 33, and their son, Glen, 7. Snohomish County Sheriff Bob Twitchell said a shiny ob ject was spotted on, a glacier north and east of Mineral City, a remote mining area in the Cas cades of eastern Snohomish county. Twitchell said two deputies were sent into the mountains Monday evening and reported sighting what appeared to be the silhouette of a tail of a plane. The deputies, Don and Bob Fisher, Everett, motored as far as they could toward the glacier, then searched the area with bi noculars before being halted by darkness. Republican Central Group Holds Meet An organization and planning meeting was held by the Repub lican central committee of Jack son county last night in the Medford High school cafeteria. Reports were given by the various committees on plans for the summer and primary elec tion next year. Among the com mittee chairmen making reports and suggestions to the central committee was D. B. Whalin, chairman of the candidate com mittee. He presented a method by which eligible candidates may be obtained by the party for the primary election. Plans for the annual Republi can picnic in August were also discussed. State Sen. Philip Lowry, who had been announced as speaker, was unable to attend. Approxi mately 50 persons were present. Mrs. Frank C. Bash, county chairman, presided at the meeting. Wash white nylons separately, because they tend to "steal" dye from colored articles. Suggested for Long Trip Dayton, O- IIP) It you're tak ing a long vacation trip, over inflate rather than under-inflate tires for safer motoring. For super-highway and speed way travel, four to six pounds pressure in tires over the recom mended amount is desirable. Max Beetam, service manager of a manufacturer's (Dayton Rubber) tire division, said this reduces flexing at extended high er speeds. Abnormal flexing weaken cords, magnifying blow out possibilities. 11 Acquitted in Roman 'Scandal' Venice, Italy (IP) A three man tribunal today acquitted Gianpiero Piccioni and 10 of 11 other defendants in Italy's sex-and-narcotics "trial of the cen tury" growing out of the death of a pretty Roman girl. But the court refused to rule Wilma Montesi, whose half -nude body was found on a beach near Rome April 11, 1953, died in accidental death. It thus left the legal doors open for possible fu ture prosecutions in the case. The decision proved an anti climax finish to the- scandal which rocked Italy and became a prime political football for the Communists and Neo-Fascists. t its height, it threatened to top ple an Italian government and forced the resignation of a for eign minister Piccioni's father and two Rome, police chiefs. Attilio Piccioni resigned as foreign minister when his son's name was linked to the affair. The elder Piccioni is now Italy's chief delegate to the United Na tions. The judges' decision, reached early today after some seven hours deliberation, came as no surprise.

Eastern Oregon Gets Big Storm Ontario, Ore. (IP) Cloud, bursts and hail hit two areas of eastern Oregon Monday night and covered U.S. Highway '20 with sliding mud in the Harper area. Highway maintenance crews were sent out this morning to clean the mud layer from several spots about five miles west of Harper junction to restore two way traffic on the road. Traffic was moving slowly through the ooze muck on a one-way basis early this morning. State patrol officers said hail piled up on the ground to depths of two inches and the downpour eroded deep ruts in cattle ranges. The hard rain and hail also hit the Ironside area about 90 miles west of here on U.S. highway 26, but no damage was reported. A state patrolman said the hail stones were bouncing three feet off the pavement at the height of the shower. !

He has asked both houses of Con gress to determine whether a full-scale investigation should be launched. College Tuition Declared Too Low ' Portland (IP) Oregon's inde pendent colleges were told Mon day they aren't charging enough tuition. 1 W. Homer Turner, executive director of a government pro gram of aid-to-education grants to private schools, conferred with presidents of 10 accredited independent colleges comprising the Oregon Colleges foundation. "Partly through competitive inability, partly through lack of public realism, there is not a single public or private institu tion of higher education in America today which is pricing its educational product at full cost," Turner said. He said the cost of educating a student averages around $1,800 a year and is "heading for S2,000." He said the median tui tion is about $800. "Somebody, at some point, is subsidizing $1,000 of that cost," he said. Officials from Willamette, Pa cific, University of Portland, Reed College Lewis and Clark, Linfield, Cascade, Marylhurst, Multnomah College and Mt. An gel Women's College attended the meeting. , Judge Reverses Self; Reporter Absolved Memphis, Tenn.

Traffic Court Judge John Col ton Monday returned an $11 fine to reporter Menno Duerksen say ing that after "long considera tion" he decided the comment was not contemptuous because it was made some distance from the court. Duerksen said it was made Saturday at the Memphis police station press room where Col ton accosted him and asked him, "off the record," what Duerksen thought of a ruling charging the mayor with leaving the scene of an accident.
