Food Price Drop
In U. S. Looms
Chicago, Oct. 21 tin House
wives will soon be able to buy
larger quantities and a great va
riety of food for less money, a
grocery executive said today.
Paul S. Willis, president of Gro
cery Manufacturers of America,
Inc., said gradual declines in food
prices and a continuation of high
Incomes should result In a rosier
future for the housewife.
"It seems probable that the peo
ple will soon discover that weekly
grocery bills are well in line with
family income and therefore can
be expected to maintain their in
terest in the eating of good food,"
he said.
Willis said that the national de
fense program, the farm price
support program and the Euro
pean recovery program all will
tend to keep the nation's general
economy on a high level, how
ever.
Ample Food Expected
"We will produce ample quanti
ties of food in the next 12 months
and there is evidence that the
American people will have plenty
of money with which to buy
them," he said.
He added that the grocery in
dustry operates on the smallest
profit margin of any industry in
the nation, and said the grocers
have been trying to be as efficient
as possible in " order to mark
down prices wherever they can.
He compared prices of specific
food items in Aug. 1947 and Sept.
1948, and said that many foods
have remained staple In price or
even have dropped.

Bend Traffic
Survey Report
Given Officials
Engineer Decides That
No Acute Problem Faced
By City; Routes Studied
A report on downtown traffic
problems, Including the possibility
of shifting highway 97 traffic
onto Bond street, was made last
night by F. B. Crandall, traffic
engineer of the state highway de
partment, to the city commission.
Crandull said no acute traffic
problem existed in the downtown
streets. He said the highway de
partment would probably oppose
splitting highway 97 traffic to
send northbound vehicles over
Bond street and southbound on
Wall street, the present route.
However, the' people of the city
might wish to change the high
way route to Bond street and
could petition the state highway
commission for the change, he
said.
Not Solution
Crandall said a stop and go
light would not solve any traffic
problem at the Wall street and
Franklin avenue intersection. He
said an installation there would
have to be of the three-phase type,
to provide for north-south traffic,
east-west traffic and for heavy
left-turn volume of south-bound
highway traffic from Wall street
onto Franklin avenue. Stop and
go lights provide traffic regula
tion but sacrifice traffic capacity
at intersections, Crandall added.
At the Wall street-Bond street
angle Intersection north of the
courthouse, Crandall suggested
additional overhead illumination.
He said experience with amber
flasher lights indicated these de
vices do not check the speed of
vehicles.
He recommended against allow
ing right turns without a stop
from Newport avenue onto Wall
street. He suggested elimination
of three parking spaces on the
south side oi Newport avenue to
provide a. right turn lane and the
elimination of one parking space
pn .wall street south oi the New
port intersection. The commis
sion voted to make this change.
Better signs favored
At Greenwood and Wall street
and also at Wall street and Frank
lin, Crandall said better direction
signs would assist traffic flow. He
said the state highway depart
ment plans to replace small fin
ger" signs with larger lettered
signs.
Left turns by westbound vehi
cles from Franklin avenue to Wall
street do not constitute an acute
traffic hazard, he said. It might
be desirable to prohibit left turns
onto Wall street from Minnesota,
but only at peak hours.
A stop sign on Bond street ap
proaching Greenwood avenue
from the south might be in order,
he said. He recommended that
the stop line be as near the Trail
ways corner as possible.
Traffic Study
Crandall and W. O. Widdows,
state signs engineer, appeared at
the commissions request, and

Fire Protection
Survey Planned
Organization of a committee
to study fire protection needs in
Bend is being planned by the
chamber of commerce, with Gor
don Randall named by the board
of directors as chairman.
Randall said he has not yet
completed organization of the
committee. He said the study
would Include long range require
ments of the fire department In
iew of the expected growth of
the city. Fire insurance ratings
and fire protection required to
qualify Bend for better rating.
The question of whether or not
the present fire hall on Minneso
ta avenue will be large enough
for expansion of the department
will come up. A suggestion has
already been received by the
chamber of commerce that the
present hall be sold to the Des
chutes veterans council for con
version Into a veterans' memorial
building and that funds received
from the sale of the building be
used in the construction of a new
fire hall at Bond street and Lou
isiana avenue on the site present
ly set aside for the veterans'
building.
Probli-m 1h Seen
Construction of the now Me
morial hospital on Lava road
across the street from the fire
hall may bring no thp auestion
of desirability of having the fire
station close to the hospital. Citv
officials have studied the Ques
tion of removing the siren from
the present hall and Installing It
at the city hall, to be onerated bv
remote control from the fire de
partment Additional equipment and pos
sible additions to the paid staff
of the fire denartmcnt will also
be considered by the committee.

Tarbolton, Scotland, Oct. 21 'Tj.E)a Constellation luxury
transport plane of the Dutch KLM airlines with 40 persons
aboard crashed into a power line in thick foK early today
near here. Only two crewmen and one passenger survived,
all of them seriously injured. .
Nine Americans were among the 37 dead. One of them,
Mrs. Mathilde Katherine Rohrs of (Highland Ave.) New
York, was dragged alive from flaming wreckage, but died
later in a hospital. A Dutch stewardess, Elsa Anna Maria

It was the first crash of a
KLM plane on the trans-Atlantic
run. The four-engined
airliner had left Amsterdam
last night, and was to con
tinue to New York after a
stop at Prestwick airport
near here.
The plane was maneuvering for
a landing at Prestwick, which
was blanketed in heavy fog, when
the pilot dropped too low and the
great ship roared irito a power
line and went down, bursting into
flames.'
In the moments after the plane
struck the power line and before
it crashed In a hilly pasture scat
tering wreckage over a 300-yard
area, the Dutch pilot had time to
tell the Prestwick control tower
by radio:
Attempts to Climb
"I have hit something.. I am go
ing on fire. I am attempting to
climb."
Then the plane struck the earth
with explosive violence so great
that Tarbolton's 600 residents
were awakened. Miners from
nearby workings were first on
the scene. They dragged Mrs.
Rohrs and four others from a
rear compartment of the plane
