MISSING A|RL|NER
180-MiIe Salt Lake City-Los

Trace of Seven.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, December l8.-
A radical shift was made today in
the wintry aerial search for trans
port plane, missing since Tuesday
with seven occupants, all believed
dead.
Twenty-Five planes were directed
over an l8O-mile stretch of the Los
Angeles-Salt Lake City airline course
along which 10-passenger Western
Air express ship disappeared.
The planes, working out of Salt
Lake City, were carefully assigned.
Plans called for a minute survey of
a 5O-mile- wide strip from Salt Lake
City southwark to Milford where the
missing craft last was reported by its
Pilot S. J. Samson.
Newlyweds Among Occupants.
On board were: Mr.. and Mrs. John
F. Wolfe, newlyWeds. of Chicago;
Henry w. Edwards, Minneapolis; Carl
Christopher, Dwight, ILL.,, who was
hurrying home to his sick wife; Pilots
Samson and William Bogen. and
Stewardess Gladys Witt, who recently
spurned marriage after two men bid
for her hand in a cross-country dash.
An intensive search by land and
air proved fruitless yesterday in a
snow-drifted mountain area near AL
pine, Is miles southeast of Salk Lake
City.
But land parties renewed efforts to-
day in the Alpine region where .
forest service foreman Wednesday
reported finding some broken trees
atop a high ridge.
Allan Barrie, vice president of West
ern Air and director of the aerial
hunt, decided, however, to shift oper-
ations after investigating reports from
Eureka. 100 miles southwest of Salt
Lake City. that the plane had been
heard there.
Thought Blown From Course.
Barrie was convinced Samson, blown
from his course. flew over the Alpine
region, then doubled back to pick up
the radio beam.
Somewhere between Eureka and
Delta, so miles farther south, he ex-
pected to find the big airliner.
J. I. Hess, the Forest Service fore
man who turned up the Alpine clue,
insisted he was on the right track.
Yesterday he was baked by impene-
trable rocks and underground.
"The only way, guess" he said,
"is to work up from Alpine on the
south.
"One tree after another was broken
of or damaged up the slope. 1t surely
looks as If it might have been where
some plane hit"
Yesterday II planes covered 3,1OO
square miles in 81 hours of flying.
Seventy-two observers were carried.
