SEARCHERS COMB
 WOODS FOR FLYER
Wreck Of Plane Only Clue to
 Fate Of Aviator

Quebec. Que, Oct, 22 P)-A search for Count Jacques De Les seps, veteran airman. missing with hls mechanic since Tuesday when they took off on a 75-mile aerial survey flight, was directed today along the heavily wooded shores Of the lower St. Lawrence. after dis covery Of wreckage of their plane at Matenand Sandy Bay.
 The finding Of plane parts scat tered on the beach served as some confirmation of the view already ad- vanced that the airmen, unheard from after their takeoff from Gaspc for Val Brilliant. had been forced down by the storm that ragged since their departure. A watch and stock inss were found in the cockpit Of the wrecked craft.
 Both fiiers carried life preservers and it was believed possible that they had managed to reach shore at some point almost inaccessible of approach by the usual means of communication. On this assumption, search parties pointed for the re- zion about Maine.
 Airplanes, however, kept a wider look out and both banks of the St. Lawrence were surveyed.
 Many gave credence to the view that though search and wireless calls had been fruitless, the tiiers, if forced down in the river, may have been picked up by a small boat uncquipped with wireless-one Of the many which ply tbe waters over which the count and his com panion planned their flight.

DONALD J. BOYDEN LEASES
THE MAYHEM MANOR

Donald J. Boyden, of Blowing Rock
and Knoxville, Tenn, owner of the
Blowing Rock hotel, has leased May
view Manor and is now making plans
for the summer season. Mr.. Boyden
will give his personal attention to
management of the Manor. The
Blowing Rock hotel will be operated
under the management of John X.
Moore, who has for number of
years been associated with Mr.. Boy
den in its operation.
Under the new management the
Mayview annex will be opened about
the middle of May to accommodate
the early fishermen, golfers and the
hundreds who wish to see the early
mountain flowers in bloom. The
Manor will open about June first.
Mr.. Boyden plans to overcome the
criticism regarding rates at the
Manor During the past this criti-
cism has been that the rates were out
of proportion. He plans to bring
these rates in line so as to accommo
date more of those who wish to visit
the resort during the season.
