The previous tolerance for domestic fruits was .02. The re duction notice was received by the Rogue River Traffic association, and had been expected for several months by local frultmen and growers. - The new tolerance recommenda tion by the government has been expected for some time. The Traf fic association anil the Fruitgrow ers' league took a neutral position, being; willing to accept any ruling ino.de. Local growers will be able to meet tbe new order, but it means that the . growers of Virginia and New York and mid-west sections will have to resort to washing, as practiced In northwest districts. 11.

Llndhei'gh be lieves that one airport will not be sufficient for cities of the future and that America has no fields comparable tb tho best In Europe "None of our alrporis In this country today," ho told a joint con gressional committee studying the needs of the national capital in this respect, "can bo rated as a model for the future, but a num ber of cities ore now constructing airports that will be good for tho future." - lie asserted that there will bo a great incroaso in flying with the formation of flying clubs, and add ed 'that even now there Is more private flying in this country than abroad. Advances made In tho develop ment of apparatus to permit land ing on fields covered by fogs also were described by tho filer. . This may be done, he snld, by use of radio beams between points of de parture and destination, coupled with the use of another beam at tne landing field which would direct the angle of the plane's 'glide to f the ground. These devices nre soon to be tried out in the air-mull serv ic ho snld. Most of the present activity in commercial transport is on the Pa cific coast, ho declared, attributing; this in part to a fund given by Daniel Guggenheim to tho trans port line which showed tho great necessity for a loan to help Us operation. The award went to the Western Airways Express. ' Discussing the location of an nlr poru in Washington, for which he wan specifically asked to appear before the committee, Lindbergh snld that one of the most Import ant' things to be considered was Its distance from the city. He pointed out that'if It takes nn hour or to to go from the field to the central part of the city, advantage of speed of air travel Is greatly reduced. CHAfOiLLTAKE DAI11EX, China, Mny 2.
