PORTLAND. April 13 tPi A sec
ond ground search began today for
the Oregon national guard A-26 at
tack plane that vanished Friday
night with three men aboard.
Trucks, Jeeps, and men on foot
started a hunt of the heavily
wooded Fargher lake area near Ara

ed hearing explosions about the
time the plane s last radio message
was heard.
The final message was radioed
from 11 miles north of Portland
the same general area where eight
men died in an army plane last
month.
Ground crews searched the Cou
gar mountain region in Southern
Washington fruitlessly yesterday.
Repeated flights over the week-end
revealed nothing, and this morn
ing's weather was unfavorable for
an air search.
Aboard the missing plane, which
was en route from McChord field to
Portland, were Capt. A. M. McCor
kle. 59: M Sgt. J. W. Shaylor. 30.
and Pfc J. T. Tofte. 18, all of Portland.

transportation and travel time pay
at the cannery's expense. Most can
neries provide monthly employes
with room and board, and hire them
from two to five months in the sum
mer and early fall.
Wages vary from 1191 to $376 a
month for cannery and culinary
workers, up to (317 to $578 a month
for machinists, electricians and car
penters. The 48-hour week is cus

In the work of the canneries are
now much more readily available
than they were during the war
years." Elliott says. He adds that
the cost of food and lodging in
Alaska is from 35 to 30 per cent
higher than in the United States.
In regard to fishing, as distin
guished from cannery work, Elliott
adds:
"In most cases hours are long,
work hard, and income moderate.
"Very often the fishermen actu
ally lose money when the fishing or
marketing conditions are poor. Fur
thermore, seasickness Is often a
problem,
"The reluctance of the captain of
individual fishing vessels to hire in
experienced personnel is not sur
prising. The crew must be a well
Integrated team If the fishing Is to
pay.
"Anyone entering the fishery for
the first time must usually expect
low earnings for the first two or
three seasons."
