Concern Expr ess d
Over Youthful Rey-

Carter Tiffany. vice president of the
Reynolds Airways, Inc, said today
that he and his associates were
thoroughly alarmed" concerning the
disappearance of Richard ]. Reynolds,
youthful president Of the company,
and that the case had been placed in
the hands Of a private detective
agency.
I'VE did not feel any concern about
the absence Of Mr.. Reynolds" he
said in a statement, until the Mon
day following our plane crash"
Reynolds, 2l-year.old son OF the
late Il. J. Reynolds, millionaire to-
bacco magnate and one of five heirs
to the $50,00O,000 Reynolds estate,
disappeared on the morning OF Sep
tember 16. On September II. a Rey-
nolds passenger plane crashed in New
Jersey with q loss Of seven lives.
"The fact that Reynolds automo-
bile was found in the water" the
Tiffany statement continued, "was
not particularly disturbing as we
thought il had probably been stolen.
when we did not hear from him
at the beginning of the week we
checked back and found that he had
not kept any Of his weekend ap-
pointments. We then became thor
oughIy alarmed.v

school the platoon system Is being
used, and the auditorium is being
used for classes.
