Searchers Await Clue To Plane Salem -Ofl- Improvement in the weather permitted a wider air search Tuesday be tween Prineville and Salem in efforts to locate a missing single-engine white Stinson plane with three brothers aboard, but searchers found nothing. Earl Snyder, director of the State Board of Aeronautics, said the active search will not be continued today but planes were placed on a standby sta tus pending new leads. Although searchers had no new leads to go on Tuesday, Snyder said at least 25 planes were up and about 95 per cent of an area marked for search was covered. The hunt centered in a 45-mile radius around the North Santiam area extending from Mill City to Mt. Jefferson. The four-place Stinson vanished Friday after taking off from Prineville bound for Salem. Aboard were the pilot, Jim Miller, 24, Ashland and his twin brothers, Roy and Coy, 14, Turner. Until Tues day most search planes were grounded by snow, ice and low clouds.
