The -barrel-a-day in

that consumer need" was his
primary concern.
There is no reason why
anyone should draw the con-

of this action" he said.

Belgian Shot
,Lumumbu,
Agency Says

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Feb.
III (AP).-A Belgian Army Off
Ger shot Patrice Lumumba
shortly after he was flown in
handouts to Katanga Province
last January II. says Tanjug
News Agency.
The official Yugoslav news
agency, in q dispatch from
Leopoldville. reflected in some
respects reports circulating even
before Katanga authorities an
nounced Lumumba's death.
The new element injected was
Tanjug's assertion a Belgian
did the shooting.
Tanjug said Maurice Mpolo.
and Joseph Okito, lieutenants
Of the dead former Congolese
Premier, were shot first by a
Belgian captain. First killed
was Mpolo. said Tanjug, land
when Okito bent down to see If
he was dead. the captain shot
him with his revolver In the
back Of his head"
Half an hour later, Lu-
mumba was brought to the
same place and killed as well, Z"
the account added.
Last Sunday, the day Ka-
tanga authorities say the three
were killed by tribesmen, the
Sunday Tribune of Durham,
South Africa, said the most ac-
cepted story in Katanga was
that Lumumba was slain the
night he was flown to Elisa
bethville from Leopoldville.
At that time, the Katanga
authorities were saying that
Lumumba and his followers
had escaped from q prison
farm by overpowering their
guards. They announced Lu-
mumba's death Monday.

Boston Crash
Laid 10 Birds
By the Associated Press

The crash of an Eastern Air
lines Electra at Boston last
October 4 has been tentatively
blamed on its collision with a
large flock Of starlings.
The tentative cause, an
nounced by Civil Aeronautics
Board yesterday, had been sus-
pected all along. The crash
killed 50 persons.
The CAB said the pilot Of the
airliner had only seconds after
striking the birds" to act to
prevent the crash.
I'm that time he would have
had to perceive the danger,
analyZe the situation, decide
on the proper action and take
it," the report said. "The board
believes, in view Of the sudden
onset Of the emergency, that
this time interval was so short
no pilot could be expected to
react effectively"
The CAB recommended i'm
provement Of aircraft engines
to minimize the power loss from
taking in birds in this way.
Both jet-prop engines such as
the Electra's and pure jet en-
gines such in huge amounts Of
air.
Also recommended was con-
tinued research on passenger
survival in crashes and on con-
troll Of birds at airportS.
The CAB said its findings
were tentative and that fur
ther study may alter the ;udg-
ment Of cause.
All of these recommendations
are long-range projects with no
overnight solutions, the CAB

Rail Income

BY the Associated Press

Major railroads had an eSti-
mated net income of $40 mil
lion last July, compared with
$40 million in July, 1860. the
Association of American Rail-
roads said today.
The July, 1861, figure COM
pared with $31 million for
July, 1859, the association re-
ported.
In its report, covering rail-
roads with annual gross reve-
nues of more than So million
each, the association said net
income for the first seven
months of 1861 was about $81
million, compared with $24S
million for the corresponding
period of 1860 and $3.50 million
for January-July, 1859.
Net railway operating income
of these railroads last July, be-
fore deduction of interest and
other fixed charges, was eSti-
mated at $36 million, compared
with $24 million in July, 1860
and $40 million in July, 1859.
Net railway operating income
for the first seven months this
year totaled $182 million. The
comparable figures for 1860
and 1859 we're $3.50 million and
$462 million, respectively.

Rate of 800
Predicted for
Steel Output

NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (AP).-
Steel production should top 80
per cent of capacity in the
October December quarter,
Iron Age said today.
The Woodworking weekly's
bright forecast was the most
optimistic yet. 1t came at a
time when the output of the
Nations steel mills lowered in
the low 70's.
The appraisal. like others
made recently, was conditioned
on a satisfactory settlement of
the auto industry's wage con-
tract negotiations.
THE industry should now
produce 100 million tons of
ingots this year with relative
ease" the magazine said. Out
put last year totaled SO million
tons, a disappointing level as
measured against early-in-the-
year predictions.
Iron Age observed that the
present level of activity has
been reached without any great
surge of automotive buying and
without any considerable build
up in inventories by steel users.
Noteworthy strength in Or
dering of heavy plates and
structural shapes was reported
and brisk business from ap-
pliance makers and builders.
Farm equipment, which had
been expected to tailspin be-
cause of the drought and other
factors, has shown no more
than expected seasonal de-
clines," the magazine said.
Steel consumption was es-
timated as up 80 per cent from
the years low point.

The Federal Aviation Agency

we'll as the airlines, have made
some remarkable progress in
noise abatement at O'Hare.
Complaints rose from the
Park Ridge area near OHare
and some 5000 residents turned
out for a meeting about a year
ago to protest. Since then pro-
cedures have been changed in
landings and takeoffs, aircraft
are utilizing more open space
