90, Washington correspondent for
chain of New York State newspapers,
was killed about 1870 am. yesterday
in drop from his Office in the Ma
tional Press Building.
The spot in an alley separating
the 1900 blocks of E and F streets
NV, was not far from where the
body of James D. Heinlein, 34-year-
old attorney. fell last Monday. The
coroner said Mr.. Heinlein had
Jumped from the roof of the Munsey
Building, across the alley from the
National Press Building.
Two witnesses Tell of Plunge.
Two witnesses saw Mr.. Donald
sons body strike the ground. Will
liam C. Stanley, 637 F street NV
furniture maker, said he was
standing near the end OF the alley
with his back to the press building
when he heard a crash. 1t was the
body striking a tin roof about 20
feet above.
Mr.. Stanley said the body hit
the roof on its head, then struck
the alley on its back. The witness
hailed a cab and told the driver
to summon police scout car. Mr..
Donaldson was pronounced dead at
HAS am.
The other witness, Martin l..
Kite, jr., 81, of 1709 New Hamp-
shire avenue NV, had driven a
restaurant supply truck into the
alley. He happened to look up when
the body was only two or three
stories from the top and saw it
crash to the ground.
Had Held Job 1S Months.
Formerly connected with the
Syracuse IN. " Herald-Journal,
Mr.. Donaldson had been associated
with the James J. Butler News Bu-
reau for 18 months.
No notes were found in the Office
or at the private home at 1904 Con-
necticut avenue NV, where Mr..
Donaldson roomed.
Only Friday, the young man,
whose taste generally ran to sport
coats, had purchased a blue suit.
Both his landlady and his employer,
Mr.. Butler, noticed that he wore it
Saturday.
HE was smiling and cheerful
about 10 am. Saturday when he
asked If he could not get away
about $780," Mr.. Butler said. II
told him he could leave right away,
but he said there was no hurry"
Was Conscientious Worker.
Mr., Butler, who praised Mr.. Dom
aldson's conscientious and intelli-
gent work as reporter, said he had
not missed any days because of Ill
health, but another source quoted
members of the family as saying he
was not in the best of health.
His landlady said Mr.. Donaldson
left the house about 9 a. m. yester-
day. 1t was not unusual for him
to drop into the office and go
through the mail. He was not wear
ing his new suit,
Mr.. Butler had visited his office
briefly before Mr.. Donaldson ar
rived and noticing the window open,
closed it. The window is the type
in which the lower panel swings in
ward toward the room, and in front
of it is a radiator.
Accidental Fall Difficult.
Police pointed out that unless a
man took pains to thrust his head
through the aperture, for instance
to get a better view, it would be
difficult for him to fall out acci-
dentally.
Mr.. Donaldson's hat was on a table
and his mail was unopened Although
he smoked steadily, the ash tray was
clean. Mr.. Butler said the man drank
very little.

boats should head for the nearest
shore when the sky warns of an
approaching storm.

while afloat in a boat only invite
trouble for themselves and the
other passengers; the average

An increasing number of farm
products are edging downward
toward government price support
levels. The overall index of pri-
ces for farm products still is
high because livestock and live
stock products are way above
support levels, and the short sup
ply Of corn keeps that grain at a
high point. Potatoes, apples, and
wool on Ohio farms in April, l948,
had considerably less purchasing
power than the average for those
commodities in 1910-14.
Ohio farm lands on March /,

production costs for their lines
from any cause can be met only
by raising the selling price of the
goods. The general level of retail
prices now is the highest on rec
ord, and a growing number of
customers who need the goods
turn away from the counters
without buying.
The prescription given by the
economists for the present situa-
ton is a period of full scale in
dustrial production without shut
downs from any cause. The OBJ

say further price increases in
prices are likely to result in a
slowing down of buying, closing

Safe Vacation
Practices Told

Conservation Commissioner H.
A. Rider this week recommended
the use of common sense rules
for safety for the many thousands
of people who will vacation on
Ohio's lakes and streams this
summer stating that carelessness,
especially on water, is respon-
sible for unnecessary loss of life
and personal injury.
People too often have a ten
dency to disregard the simple
rules of safety while enjoying a
vacation" Rider said, "and often
take dangerous chances because
the outdoors seems SO safe COM
pared to the normal metropolitan
hazards"
He pointed out that since most
vacations are spent on or near
large bodies of water, extreme
caution should be exercised
especially while boating and
swimming.
The common sense rules for
boating safety are very few and
simple to follow.
Overlooking rowboats is the
most common safety rule violated
by those Who consider that the
number of seats or size of the
boat indicates its passenger capa-
city. The boards, used for seating
space because of their conven-
fence, primarily are so placed to
heold the boat together.
Top capacity for the average
roWboat is A persons regardless
of their size or weight. If the boat
is square on one end and pointed
on the other and is used for a JOY
ride on quiet water, then four
passengers can be considered a
safe load with two persons seated
in the square end, one in the
bow or pointed end and the oars
man in the middle. If the boat is
pointed on both ends, one pas
senger in each end and the oars
man in the middle is a load pro-
viding the boat is in good shape
and certainly a boat in poor
condition should not be on the
water at all.
The weight or size of the pas
sengers is not nearly so important
as the number of shifting weights,
the fewer the better.
A life preserver, of some sort
is just as important as set of
oars for an enjoyable ride, not
that it will keep the boat from up
setting but it will save lives in an
emergency. Inflated inner tubes
which are no longer safe for an
automobile tire is convenient
inexpensive preserver and will
support 4 or 5 persons in the
water providing that everyone
doesn't try to climb on top of it at
the same time.
Most of Ohio's lakes because

Higher Prices
Seen Buying Curb

Business reports indicate to
rural economists at Ohio State
University that the prices of
many sential manufactured
goods have risen to the point
where any further increase will
put the goods beyond the reach
of a large part of the buying pub
lie unless that increase is ac-
companied by a lift in the income
of all classes of buyers.
The economists say some goods
already have been priced out of
the market, and manufacturers
of other products declare higher
