CAB Rules Downward
Pressure Ripped Wing
Off Ill-Fated Plane
WASHINGTON UP) — A down
ward pressure load ripped the right
wing off the company airplane !
that crashed near Ravenna, Ohio, I
Sept. 4, killing Ik occupants, the |
Civil Aeronautics Board disclosed
Thursday.
Because of this finding by CAB
inspectors, the probe ot the acci- !
dent now has centered on the
plane’s control system.
Detailed studies are under way
its to the functioning of the plane’s |
flaps, ailerons, trim tabs and other j
movable wing parts.
The right wing of the twin
engine Lodestar of the Ashland
Oil Co. was found about 1,600 feet
from the main wreckage and was
proof, the CAB said, that it had
become detached in flight.
Investigators determined that the
wing broke away at the point at
which it was attached to the cen
ter section of the plane, and that
it was broken off by a downward
pressing load.

Flan Governor’s
Salmon Conference
| \oxl January
JUNEAU ■.■?> — The State of
I Washington plai to call a second
Governors' Salmon Conference in
Seattle nexl January, similar to
the one held here last year, Gov.
Win, Egan said Thursday.
Gov. Albert Roseliini of Wash
ington told Egan in a letter:
1 feel : >at thr initial confei -
ence called by 1 e State of Alaska
in February 19<» 1 was extremely
successful in focusing attention on
the needs of the Pacific Coast
salmon industry, and would hope
that this second meeting will
serve to further implement co
ordinated programs so badly need
ed to restore our salmon popula
tion.”
Roseliini told Egan the confer
ence would start on Jan. f! and
would continue for three or four
days. All of the Pacific Coast .-dates, j
as well as the United States and
Canadian governments, would be
invited to participate.
The purpose of the conference
would be the same as the Juneau
conference, Roseliini said, “to dis
cuss problems, to review present
research and management techni
ques, and to enunciate broad
research and management needs
toward developing an integrated
coastwide program.”
. . It is imperative,” Rosel
iini said, “that the general tone of
the conference be directed toward
early decisions which can be im
plemented by specific action on
the part of administrators, fisheries
scientists and members of the fish
ing industry.
“Certainly, we cannot expect to
formulate or place in motion a
program which will encompass
such a vast and complex enter
prise immediately. However, I do
sincerely feel that we may be able
to blueprint some initial steps at
least which will be of general and
common benefit.”
!50 Feet Down . . .
LADNER, B. C. 0F1 — Perky the
cow fell down a well.
It took volunteer firemen, police
and a tow truck two and a half
hours to get her out.
Perky, a 700-pound Jersey,
plunged from sight while grazing
in a field Tuesday. Residents heard
a noise, found her bellowing and
treading water 50 feet down an
abandoned well. She had plunged
through a platform at the well top.
Vounteer firemen went down by
rope. They got two big leather
straps around Perky. A tow truck
attached a cable to its hoist and
up came the cow.
A veterinarian was called. He
wrapped Perky in blankets and
gave her a couple of shots.
He thinks she’ll be okay.

Japanese Minister
! Calls on U.S. to
Accept More Imports
TOKYO lA’ For.-ign M.ni. t- r
I Masayoshi OhitM Thur-da;. called
no the Unilcd States to accept
more imports Irnm Japan “instead
o! trying t<: r. . ’ric‘ then. "
"The healthy grow th of tin
hyv Japanese economy is pn.-sidle !
only througn cooperation with i:
free world, particularly with the
United States,” Oiiira ! Id an
Aineriea-Japan Society lum-i.c ■ .
The foreign minister declared
the Japanese government is dis- i
turbed by ‘'moves being node by 1
certain interest groups and trade j
unions to restrict Japanese goods !
and the so-called ‘buy American’
and ‘ship American’ policies which,
in the Japanese view, give exces
sive preference to American in
terests.”
Oiiira. who leaves Saturday for
Yew York and Washington, added:
"I am also told that there still !
exists in the United States a deep- '
seated prejudice against Japanese i
manufactured goods."
A Prize Head , . .
CHICAGO (fP —- An airline has
a giant head of Alaskan cabbage
on its hands and doesn't know
what to do with it.
John Bush of Palmer, in the
Matanuska Valley of Alaska, grew
the 56-pound head of cabbage and
sent it to Forreston, 111., where for
years the community has run a
sauerkraut festival.
But there is no such festival
planned for Forreston this year
and Forreston has all the cabbage
it needs for normal consumption.
So Northwest Orient Airlines is
looking around for someone with
corn beef to match the prize head.
A statement by Herbert Hoover !
tells one way he overcame his j
critics. He simply explains that he j
outlived them.
