Pilot Hits Detroit
Field Lights; Lands
Safely at Cleveland
•r
ST. PAUL, Minn. OP)—A North
west Airlines DC-4 carrying 51
persons snipped off three field
lights in attempting to land in fog
at Detroit’s Willow Run airport
today. It went on to Cleveland and
made a safelanding.
As a precautionary measure pi
lot Bill Shaw abandoned the land
ing attempt and flew on to Cleve
land where he could have control
tower men at the municipal air
port examine the landing gear as
he passed overhead. Given their
asurance that nothing seemed to
be wrong, Ehaw landed the ship
without further incident.
The big plane was grounded
pending a thorough check.
Another ship was sent to Cleve
land to pick up the passengers and
crew of three.
I
Shaw was flying Flight 501.
New York to Seattle. He left New
York at 11 p.m. last night. He pre
pared to land at Willow Run at
1:43 a.m. today.
NWA’s manager of flight op
erations, William Richmond, said
that the ship came down a little
too fast after Shaw, following nor
mal procedure, cut the power as
he approached the field. The
wheels hit the neon lights, arrang
ed in stairstep fashion at the edge
of the field.

Court Upholds $30
Fishing Fax
JUNEAU, (A*) — The constitu
tionality of Alaska’s $50 tax on
non-resident fishermen was up
held yesterday by Federal District
Judge George F'olta.
Ruling on an action in which
the Alaska Fishermen’s Union had
attacked the law as discriminatory
Judge Folta said:
“Encouragement of settlement
and preferment of local enterprise
appear sufficient to uphold the
tax, and the court will take judi
cial notice of national policy im
plicit in many recent legislative
and administrative measures de
signed to accomplish these needs.’’
He overruled the union’s con-1
tention that the tax interfered
with interstate commerce by hold
ing that the taxable action—catch- j
ing fish—occurs before the fish
j have entered the flow of com
| merce.
The 1949 Legislature raised the
fishing license fees to $50 for non
| residents and $5 for Alaska resi
dents. The law was challenged in
court on the ground that the wide
difference constituted undue dis- j
crimination. The old license fee
was $25 for non-residents and $1
for residents.

Italian Police Meet
Red Strike Threat
ROME, OP) — The Italian gov
ernment met a communist strike
challenge today wit ha massing of
police strength that put 3,000 per
sons under arrest in Rome and
rigidly suppressed demonstrations
throughout the country.
There appeared to be only scat
tered violence as a result of the
12-hour nationwide general strike
called by the communist-lead Ital
ian conferedation of labor (CGIL>.
The call was issued after a
clash last night between police
and farmhands carrying Red ban
ners in a village in central Italy.
Two farmhands were killed.
The CGIL is protesting govern
ment proposals to increase the
country’s police force and author
ize bans on political demonstra
tions that hev taken the lives of
several persons in recent days.
An interior ministry press offi
cer said that despite the strike the
life of the country was ’’develop
ing normally.” He said the strike
was effective in the large indus
trial organizations and less cffcc
, tive in medium sized industries.

Sell Britain
§40,000.000 Dried
Eggs For §7.000,000
PP
WASHINGTON </P)—1The Com
modity Credit Corporation yester
day sold 31,818,000 pounds of sur
plus dried eggs costing about $40,
000,000 to the United Kingdom
for $7,000,000.
The sale disposed of about 37
per cent of the corporation’s
stocks of dried eggs bought under
a farm price support program
during 1948, 1949 and this year.
The purchase is being financed
by a grant of $3,000,000 in Econo
mic Cooperation Administration
funds, $1,000,000 in British dol
lars, and $3,000,000 of agriculture
department funds available for
disposal of farm surpluses.
The sales price was said to av
erage about 22 cents a pound com
pared with a cost to the C.C.C. of
about $1.26 for eggs bought in
1948 and 1949 and about 96 cents
this year.
The British actually are getting
them for about 3.1 cents a pound
in their own money. The C.C.C.,
which is the government’s multi
billion dollar farm price support
agency, will be reimbursed in the
amount of about 22 cents a pound,
but other U. S. government agen
cies will supply about 18.9 cents
a pound of this amount.
Corporation purchases of dried
eggs in 1948 and 1949 were de
signed to help support producer
prices of shell eggs at a national
average of 45 cents a dozen.
Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Larry
Sullivan will be interested in
knowing that they have moved to
Kennewick, Wash., where Mr.
Sullivan is resuming his law prac
tice.
Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Troutman
of the Seventh Day Adventist
Church returned from Fairbanks
this morning after a conference
of the church workers held there.
