Russian Planes Blamed For Bombing Of German Warship
Alpine Utah June 3 A Pasadena tracing of two more letters and motor oil beneath Chipmans peak prompts renewed search for the Western Air Express plane missing five and a half months with seven passengers. An air mail envelope post marked Beverly Hills dated Dec 14 was found by Ivor Evans and Jesse W Spafford of American Fork. Another letter was found by Frank Bateman who with Will Healy began the last search after locating five letters tied to the mail cargo. The finds support the theory the plane plunged into a deep snow drift as snow in the canyon reaches 30 feet and bad weather forced a halt at 9 000 feet above sea level.
