TAHOE VALLEY, Calif., The Air Force announced today that a Paradise Airlines plane that disappeared over Lake Tahoe Sunday with 85 persons had been found on a mountain just west of Genoa in Douglas County, Nev., about 45 miles south of Reno. A spokesman said there were no survivors.

TAHOE VALLEY, Calif. UPI — A wind-whipped snowstorm swirling over the High Sierras early today concealed any trace of a constellation airliner with 85 persons aboard that vanished within sight of the gambling and ski resorts of Lake Tahoe. The four-engined Paradise Airlines plane was believed to have crashed either into the lake or the rugged 9,000-foot mountains which surround it during an approach to the Tahoe Valley Airport in a blizzard shortly before noon Sunday. The plane was flying from Salinas and San Jose, Calif., to the resort area with 81 passengers, including 16 employees of a Salinas department store. It carried a crew of four. Air, ground and surface units stood ready in northern California and Nevada throughout the night in hopes that a break in the weather would permit a fullscale search during daylight hours. Search officials said the plane could have hit any of numerous peaks in the area or could have gone down in Desolation Valley, a wilderness area west of the lake which is so rugged it is almost impassable even under ideal summer conditions.
