tension-
, The spray tolerance for fruit of
the Rogue River valley for the
coming season has been-fixed at
.017 by the Department of Com
merce. 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. Van Kpevenburg of the Sains
Valley district, active In fruit bet

with department of commerce bu

be declared before the present fruit

The local association also' voted
to ask the Wennlchee and Yakima,
Wash., and the Hood River, Ore.,
districts to Join with them in ask

which -expires June 1 next. The

driven by Pearl Bateman of Med
ford In the city limits of Jack
sonville. In order to avoid strik
ing another . pedestrian, Bateman
swerved His car, striking Venable,
whom It is claimed he was unable
to see because, of the- blinding
lights of .a. truck, pocked, alongside
the -highway..-,
Tile accident took place at 8:00
o'clock and Venable died at 'tho-
Sacred Heart hospital shortly after
10 o'clockf without regaining con
sciousness. - " .
W.' T. Wright ,,hod parked

tory to moving household goods
Into the Venable home, " and to
gether with a friend, Venable was
standing alongside tho truck talk
ing to Wright. Just before the
arrival of the Bateman car, Wright
decided to drive into the' yard and
was preparing to cross the high
way with his truck. He turned on
the lights, .and the other man.
whose name could not . be learned
today, was crossing the highway
when Bateman enmo on the scene.
Tho driver of "the car sow him
and .In an -effort to dodge.'him,
swerved to. the other side Just in
timo .to strike the aged man.
whose body was thrown , againsr.

machine. By the time the coupe i
could ho stopped, Venable had
slipped oft onto the ground. V
He was moved to tno jacKson-

claims he was going only between
20 and 26 miles per hour.
It has also developed that the
truck was parked with all four

Lindbergh Gives Solons
Views On Airport Plan
ning Present Ports Poor
Pacific Coast Leads in
Commercial Flying.
WASHINGTON, May 2. t- (A1)
Colonel Charles A. 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.
