J. R. (Jack) Simplot, Idaho millionaire, is no longer interested
in the operation of the Salem fertilizer plant, formerly the alum-lna-from-clay
plant, according to terms of settlement of a suit
against Simplot by J. O. Gallagher of Seattle.
The plant, now shut down temporarily, will be under the opera
tion of Columbia Metals com
pany of Seattle until June 30,
when its lease from the war as
sets administration expires. The
WAA is now trying to sell the
plant.
A suit at Boise against the
J. R. Simplot company and Sim
plot personally was dismissed
in federal district court by
Judge Chase A. Clark.
Gallagher, of Seattle, brought
the suit against the company
to prevent the liquidation of
the Columbia Metals corpora
tion, of which Gallagher is pres
ident. The Simplot company
holds notes of the corporation
amounting to $231,290.
A preliminary injunction
against the company was made
by Judge Clark May 9, forbid
ding the firm from disposing
of the notes or from proceeding
with liquidation or dissolution
of the corporation.
In a stipulation filed by attor
neys for Gallagher they asked
that the injunction be dissolved
on grounds that differences be
tween the two parties were settled.
Included in the settlement, it
is understood, is withdrawal of
Simplot from the Salem plant
in which he and Gallagher were
equally interested.
The Simplot-Gallagher part
nership in the Salem operation
was made in August, 1948. They

expected to buy the plant from
the WAA, but decided the price
was too high.
When later the WAA called
for bids on the plant Simplod
was a bidder. Another bid was
by Gallagher and Arch W. Metz-
ger, manager of the plant for
Columbia Metals. There were
other bidders, but Columbia
Metals corporation did not bid.

and is now trying to negotiate

Pilot Error Is
Cause of Wreck
The crash of a private plane j
in Odell lake south of Bend,:
Ore., May 9, in which Pilot Da
vid Lupescu of San Francisco
lost his life was the result of
pilot error, W. M. Bartlett, di
rector of the Oregon state board
of aeronautics, reported today.
Three other persons, forest
service men from Bend, riding
in the Grumman Widgeon plane
were injured and taken to a
Bend hospital. They were Ralph
W. Cravsjord, Newell Cory and
Richard Botcher.
Bartlett said: "Investigation!
revealed that the aircraft was In
airworthy condition prior to the
time of the crash. No indications
were found of any mechanical
malfunctions or structure fail
ures prior to the time the air
craft struck the water. The wea
ther was clear with a mild wind.
The cause of the accident was
pilot error in that the pilot did
not use nearly half of the avail
able takeoff area.

San Francisco, flew to Odell
lake for the purpose of a con
ferenc with the national forest-:
ry personnel, who were passen
