Inaccessible spot.
Snow and sleet swirled over the
rugged and sparsely settled area, max

Ceiling Under loo Feet.
Undaunted, six United Air Line
pilots took of late in the day to scan
the snow-covered peaks and canyons

If the eight aboard the plane es-
capped disaster when it was forced
down, 1t was thought possible they
might remain in the cabin to save
them from the cold.
The hunt veered to the vicinity of
Fort Bridger, Wyo., late in the day,
when an anonymous report was re-
ceived at the United Air Lines head
quarters here that an unidentified
plane had been seen in that locality
not long after the departure Of the
missing ship for Cheyenne.
This report, telephoned by a resi-
dent Of the vicinity, located the plane
between Church Butte and Twin

Plotting the searching planes were
Jack OBrien and E. L. Yuravich,
George Boyd and Robert Hickson,

The snowfall in the last "a hours

The plane carried only light

Search by air and land was CEN

Caldwell expressed the belief the
pilots of the plane had lost their

that covered the region late yester-
day and had been forced down in the
rugged mountains.

MAYOR THREATENS.
|EMPL0YES' SLASH
La Guardia to Weld Ak if
Economy Bill Is Not
Approved.
BY the Associated Press.

Sy the Associated freSk.
NEW YORK, February 24-A
wholesale dismissal of city employees
was threatened today by Mayor Flo
relic H. La Guardia if the State Leg
islature does not approve at once the
economy bill, giving him power TO
curtail municipal expenses.
1T would be just too terrible to
contemplate. the mayor said, after
announcing his latest move in the
battle to enact the bill, blocked by
Democrats in the Assembly.
An old law, he explained, provides
that during an emergency city can
cut expenses by certifying that there
are no funds to pay employees, VINO
then can be dismissed.
Authority of Elimination.
The principal point of controversy
over the economy bill, which bears
the approval Of Gov. Herbert H Leh-
man and Postmaster General James
A Farley. has been a section giving
the city officials authority to eliminate
county positions.
When you say you're going to
eliminate the unnecessary jobs in the
county Offices they all get panlcky,"
La Guardia said.
Some Of the opposition" he de-
clared, would like to see the city
wrecked" If wholesale dismissals re-
suited in the discharge of necessary
employees, he said, the public would
not stand for the protection of the
county Offices at that cost.
The savings in the county Offices
under the economy bill. he estimated,
would be between s500,000 and ST.
600, 900.
Its different philosophy OF gov
ernment," the mayor continued. be
tween those who are protecting lazy,
incompetent, unnecessary Office hold
ers and I, who oppose this whole sys-
tenn"
La Guardia indicated that one way
to save the city money would be for
it to assert that education is a State
function and turn the public schools
over to the State, which would have
to pay the bill.
Education Responsibility.
But education. in his opinion. he
said. is not State function, adding:
IF they want the State to con-
troll education, let them take over
the pay roll and let the city contri-
butte to the State what the State now
contributes to the city-that's about
SAG, 100000 out Of the $4,000, 900"
Mayor La Guardia has been fight
ing for enactment of the economy bill
since he took Office, contending it was
the only way the citys credit could
be maintained and the budget bal
anced. The latter is necessary before
loans from the Federal Government
for public works projects can be as
sured.

dairy farms, coal mines, peach or
chards and wheat farms by the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad and affiliated
Van Sweringen interests, have been
revealed in an audit on file in
United States district court here.
The audit was maze by Price,

transfer of S4,160,354 in cash from
the Missouri Pacific railroad to the
Missouri Pacific Transportation
Company, subsidiary during
October, November and December,

AUTO SALES IN
INDIANA CLIMB
Only Little Change Shown
in State Business
Conditions.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. o.
A substantial contra seasonal gain
in automobile sales provided one of
the few bright spots" in Indiana
business during September. accord
ing to the review published by the
Indiana university bureau of bust
ness research.
There was very little change in
the general business situation dur
ing the month but there was a gen.
eral improvement in automobile
sales" the review said. Used car
sales made less than the usual
seasonal decline.
After allowances were made for
the usual season factors, gains reg
istered in some lines of trade and
industry were offset by declines suf-
fered in other types of business ac-
tivity, the review reported.
With few local exceptions, de-
partment store sales improved dur
ing September. Trade was favored
in some districts by comparatively
high cash income resulting largely
from payments on agricultural ad-
JuStment administration contracts
Cooler weather was a favorable
factor in all sections of the state.
Clothing sales made seasonal gains.
Hardware sales were well above a
year ago.
The total Indiana employment
was slightly under a month ago and
a year ago but held far above two
years ago. There was an increase
in the percentage of workers en-
ployed on part-time schedules dur
ing the month"

PROSPECTS OF
MORE FEDERAL
TAXES MOUNT
Expiring 'NuiSanCeS' LevieS
Must Be SuppIanted;
Revenue Dips.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Pros-
poets of new federal tax burdens to
finance the recovery program and
supplant expiring nuisance" levies
increased today when weekend
treasury department figures showed
tax collections were falling slightly
under budget estimates.
Administration denialS that even
worked out for the next congress
were met by predictions in some
quarters that substantial increases
would be asked.
These predictions were based on
treasury department receipts for the
first three and one-half months of
the current fiscal year, showing an
average monthly income of 1922
100000, Or nearly $10,O0O,000 month
ly under the 1881 ,222,126 monthly
income projected in the budget for
this fiscal year.
Revenues Below Year Ago
Recession in business activity IN
June, July and August was cited as
principal reason for decline in
government income under previous
estimates. Miscellaneous internal
revenue and customs revenue this
month are below a year ago. In
come taxes and processing taxes
are higher.
In addition to the decline in yield
from current taxes, treasury Off
Gals today were confronted with
the expiration of more than a
dozen of the so-called nuisance"
taxes between Jan. l and June 80,
1885.
If the government expects to COL
lect 1924, sos ,479 in income in the
fiscal year ending June 80, next, as
estimated in the budget, nuisance
taxes must be continued and new
levies voted. An increase in the cur
rent tax yield would make new IevieS
unnecessary.
The 2-cent tax on bank checks,
which has drawn heavy fire from
banking interests, will expire Dec.
81. 1t has been lucrative source
Of revenue, yielding about $40,000,000
annually.
Gas Tax Will Expire
On July l, 1885, the 1-cent gaso-
line tax, which accounts for $780,
100000 annually will expire. Other
losses OF taxes then will include
$19,O00000 on telephone and tele-
graph messages; $33,0OO,OO0 from
electrical energy, and $1O,0O0,00O
each for admissions and oil pipe
lines.
Other levies to expire July are
those on malt syrup, imported coal
and coke, imported copper, toilet
preparations, furs, jewelry, radio
sets, photograph records, refriger-
atorS, cameras, matches and sport
ing goods.
Prospective tax legislation is SUI
perseding monetary and borrowing
problems. Preparation of the new
budget already is we'll under way.
What form new taxes will take or
what expiring taxes will be extended
is not known at the present time
and probably will not be revealed
until congress convenes.

SMALL WHEAT CROP
IN CANADA
Total Production Placed at
384,OO0.OOO Bushels.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-This years
wheat crop in the Canadian prairie
provinces was again light, with
yields of other cereals also IN low
figures, according to the current
crop report of the Bank of Montreal.
The estimate of the Dominion sta
tistics bureau places the wheat pro-
duction of the prairie provinces at
265,000,000 bushels, or about the
same as last year, which compares
with an average of 384,000,000 bush
els over the last ten years.
Coarse grains on the prairieS were
light with an estimate of 196000,000
bushels for oats and from 100000
to 100000 bushels for barley
slightly better than last year.
In Quebec province the yield of
hay was slightly below average with
that of cereals and roots good, while
the apple crop was far below av-
erage. In Ontario the yield of fall
wheat was poor, but that of spring
grains was somewhat better than
average, with fodder corn and roots
a good crop, but apples and peaches
much below average.
