A study of the bright UV sources identified by Lanning in the Sandage Two-color Survey of the Galactic Plane yielded more than 200 sources with significant proper motion. Subsequent analysis suggests nearly two-thirds of the sources are likely to be previously un-identified white dwarfs. A follow-up spectroscopic program is being prepared with the goal of confirming the nature of the white-dwarf candidates. On-going analysis of the white dwarfs, when combined with other known Galactic Plane white dwarfs, indicates the presence of a selective distribution. Scanning of the Sandage plates is a continuing project and will very likely result in significantly increasing the number of white dwarfs found and available for future analysis.
