Wants Bon
On Ituliun
Cherries

A Washington congress
man this week asked a ban
on competing cherries from
Italy as the price of the fruit
from this and other produc-
ing regions of the state hit
low figures for the first time
in years. lila. i.
Advised of the development,
Kenneth Desgranges, manager of
ISOLATION big Y" plant here, said
the Yakima Fruit Growers as
this would be a life saver for
local growers. T.
Desgranges said Italian and
French packers can lay them
down in the United States
cheaper than we can put them
up" Last year this one comp
any brined 100 tons. This year
none is being canned, the local
manager said. He added that if
the competition of foreign cher
ries can be stopped, it will mean
that probably 200 tons of cher.
ries will be brined by his comp
any next year.
The Washington congressman,
Walt Koran, said thousands of
American farmers face bankrup.
icy because foreign grown cher.
ries are being dumped on the
market In this country. He at.
tributed the situation to what
he called the manipulation of
tariff and import policies Of the
administration"
Koran said American cherry
growers will let their fruit rot
on the trees unless the govern.
ment cuts down on imports OF
cherries from Italy. The law.
maker explained that the mar.
keting Of cherries is at stand.
still because professors don't
dare buy them due to the un.
certainty Of market conditions
Koran said a proposal to cut
the tariff on brined cherries i'm.
ported from Italy is being con.
sidered by the Inter Department
committee on international
Trade agreements.
DesKran9es said that heavy
production throughout the ma.
ton and slow ripening of the
fruit were two of the principle
reasons for the downward trend
in prices Of the current market
Usually we have our cherries
out before Yakima and Wenat.

they are shipping at the same
time we are" Desgranges ex,
planned.
He continued by saying that
California growers too are jus1
now putting their crop on the
market. While the local crop has
been heavy both in quantity anc
quality the cherries are smaller
in size than In past years. "Thi.
years crop Is one Of the cleanes
crops I've seen in % years." Des

cherries are smaller and that o

Baltimore judges ruling that

so sweeping that it would in

States and the Federal govern

Frank B. Ober, Baltimore at

Court of Appeals.
He contends that if Circuit

It provided that all employees

The witness emphasized at this
point that the Bolivian govern

Before the takeof1, Maj. Pol

to call by phone to the tower and
tell them that in case they didn't

that he was going to take OF and
just make a circuit Of the field

"Mr. Aubin went into the

did not hear what he said"

Maj. Pol said they then sum-

them to a point on the south part
Of the airport where they could
observe Capt. Rios landing.
"Mr. Aubin told the driver to
turn on his radio with the tower
so we could hear instructions
given to the P-38," the witness
said. \The driver said that the
radio was on - that always they
keep in con tact with the tower,
From this moment until the ac-
cident happened, we didn't hear
any instructions from the tower
to the P-38 or any other plane"

the United States air forces said
he watched the P-38's approach

noticed two planes approaching

Apparently both planes were
making a normal approach" he
said, adding:
II realized in seeing the planes
getting so close to each other
that the P-38 was not able to
land Immediately after the DC-4
and we commented why the tower
would give instructions to both
planes almost at the same time
Didn't Hear Instructions.
He apparently was referring to
landing instructions for the planes
to use the same runway and he
added:
Il did not hear the instruc-
tions and probably they were
given some time before we got
In the station wagon.
Then as the P-38 was getting
closer to the DC-4, but still was
a little higher. suddenly I saw
the DC-4 pulling up and out to
the left and the driver (of the
station wagon said he thought
they ordered the DC-4 to pull
out"
The tower controllers have said
they had ordered the DC-4 to
abandon its approach by making
a left turn because the fighter
was disregarding instructions to
pull away and was bearing down
on the airliner from behind and
above. It was said the DC-4 re-
sponded Immediately.
Right at this moment the ac-
cident happened" Maj. Poe con-
tinued. Il saw the P-38 bouncing
from almost the top of the DC-4
and start to come down to the
right vertical. The DC-4, flutter-
in ga little, began to disintegrate

airplane coming down"

CAA Takes Control
OF All Military Flights
After Near-CoIIision

In an unprecedented move, the
Civil Aeronautics Administration
today assumed control over all
Navy and Air Force flights after
a bomber narrowly missed collid-
ing with an airliner carrying 81
persons near Washington National
Airport yesterday.
The order brought all military
flights under control Of the civilian
agency.
The near miss" occurred just
a week after a P-38 and an East
ern Air Lines plane collided here,
killing SIS persons.
Averted by Few Feet.
A repetition of that crash was
averted by only a few feet shortly
after an Eastern Air Lines Con-
steliation carrying 40 passengers
and a crew of five took of from
National Airport at 1890 am.
yesterday.
The big airliner, piloted by ]. r.
Richardson, was 13 miles south of
the airport at $500 feet when an
Air Force B-25 coming down on
an instrument landing almost
struck it.
II didn't see, him until he was
almost on top Of me-" Capt. Rich
ardson said.
The Constellation pilot said
the bomber was descending from
behind and to his. right when he
caught his first glimpse of it. In
stinctively, Capt. Richardson
banked sharply to the left-the
same maneuver which failed to
save the sister airliner from dis
aster last week. The bomber
passed on ahead of the Constella-
ton so close that Capt. Richard
son could clearly distinguish its
identification numbers.
Reported to Tower.
Capt. Richardson reported the
near-crash to the Airport control
tower.
None of the passengers aboard
the airliner was aware Of the mar
row brush with death. .
With the Identification numbers
furnished by Capt. Richardson,
Air Force officials quickly identi-
fed the bomber as a BIS piloted
