Asthma Sufferers
Hard Hit by Smog
In New Orleans Area
New Orleans (U.R) Two
asthmatic patients died and
more than 200 others were treat
ed at hospitals between midnight
and dawn today as atmospheric
conditions, including smog,
touched off one of the worst con
ditions for asthma sufferers in
many years.
A Charity Hospital doctor de
scribed the condition of the pa
tients as "unusually severe" and
said the rush in the emergency
room was the worst in memory.
Attacks Severe
Dr. George Ramsey of the
Charity hospital emergency staff
said the attacks suffered by the
esthma victims were severe and
added:
"It's a miracle we didn't lose
more."
' The dead were identified as
Jules Glapion, 65,. a Negro, and
Joe Adams, about 60.
The Orleans Parish coroner's
office said that it was "purely
coincidental" that the two who
died during the attacks had been
asthmatics. However, a spokes
man admitted that one died of a
Court Upholds
Verdict in Dalles
Pineapple Incident
San Francisco U.R) The
U.S. Court of Appeals has af
firmed a lower court verdict
awarding the Hawaiian Pineap
ple company $201,274 .in dam
ages against the International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
men's union for union activities
during a 1949 dock strike.
The court alsfi upheld a lower
court verdict freeing more than
100 individuals of responsibility
and ordering the pineapple com
pany to pay court costs and oth
er fees.
The suit was filed after Ha
waiian Pineapple bypassed a
dock strike in the islands and
sent a bargeload of pineapple
to The Dalles, Ore., behind a
tug.
Pickets from the ILWU local
protested the unloading of the
barge. In an ensuing disturb
ance, they dumped, four truck
loads of pineapple into the Co
lumbia river.
The fruit was finally moved
to the -company's San Jose,
Calif., cannery. . '
A jury in Portland Federal1
court awarded Hawaiian Pine
apple damages, but it refused to
place responsibility on any one
individual. The union appealed
the damage verdict, and the
company appealed the court cost
verdict.
The appeals court said "There
was probably an inconsistency in
the verdict" but upheld it anyway.
heart attack, which could have
been brought on by the breath
ing difficulty. An autopsy was
to be performed on the other.
Charity doctors, however, em
phasized that their deaths were
brought on by the asthma. '
The weather bureau reported
a loss of fog and smog during
i the cool night. A spokesman said
the condition was unique . be
cause there seemed to be a con
siderable amount of dust late
yesterday afternoon and through
the night.
Dr. Ramsey . said a sudden
change in the weather usually is
the cause of a rush of asthma
victims. But he said last night
was the worst he had ever seen.
Smog rolled into the northeast
section of the city again last
night for the seventh consecu
tive night.
Hundreds of trapped motorists
sat glumly by their cars on a
stretch of the main highway to
Mississippi for several hours last
night and early today waiting
for the smog to lift.
New Orleans police tried to
shepherd cars through, but only
a trickle was able to roll.
Magnuson Questions
Cannery Sanitation
' Seattle U.R) Sen. Warren
G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) said to
day he had written the commis
sioner of the Food and Drug Ad
ministration asking an investiga
tion into allegations that fish
products canned aboard Japan
ese cannery ships are processed
under sanitary conditions.
"It seems to me that if these
allegations are true the Ameri
can consumer is entitled to know
the facts so that the American
housewife, in shopping for fish
products, would be fully advised
of the possible hazard to health
attendant on the use of foods
that are not produced under the
high standards maintained by
our American canning indus
try," Magnuson wrote commis
sioner George P. Larrick.
Newbry Protests
Illinois Violation
Salem (U.R) Secretary of
State Earl T. Newbry today sent
a vigorous protest to Illinois
Secretary of State Charles F.
Carpentier for that state's vio
lation of terms of a reciprocal
agreement last Sept. 1.
Eldon Bonner, an Oregon
trucker hauling a load of to
matoes east, was held up in
Compton, 111., with a demand
that he purchase an Illinois li
cense plate costing $447.
Newbry asked that Bonner's
truck be released to continue
under terms of the agreement
between the two states. -

Italian Seaports
Fight for Control
Of Merchant Fleet
Rome U.R) The port cities
of Genoa and Trieste are engaged
in a bitter cold war.
At stake is control over more
than one-quarter of the Italian
merchant fleet, worth many mil
lion dollars.
Trieste claims ownership of
the ships. Genoa claims they
would be no use in a port which
has no hinterland left.
The fight started as soon as an
improvised Trieste was returned
to Italy under the Italo-Yugo-
slav agreement of October, 1954,
after 11 years of, first, German
and then Allied occupation.
The Italian government, which
has controlling interests in all
leading shipping lines, refused
to return the merchant fleet of
the Lloyd Triestino to Trieste
as long as the city was not part
of Italy. It awarded the ships to
Genoa, where they added to that
port's thriving traffic.
Two Liners Returned
By last October, Trieste was
in the throes of its worst ever
economic crisis. No sooner was
the city reunited to Italy than it
started clamoring for the ships.
The government took a first
major step towards meeting
Trieste's requests when it 're
turned the liners Saturnia and
Vulcania earlier this year, mak
ing Trieste the starting port of
their run to New York. Some
smaller ships followed.
Tempers in Genoa blew up re
cently when reports spread that
the Lloyd Triestino motorships
Asia and Vittoria, serving the
Far East route, also would be re
turned to Trieste.
A delegation of Genoese ship
ping operators, led by a former
merchant marine minister, Paolo
Cappa, rushed to Rome and
asked Premier Antonio Segni to
stop the transfer. Segni assured
them that no decision had been
made and that the matter would
be carefully considered.
Genoa Fears Damage
The Genoese argument is that
the ships are no use in Trieste,
which has no hinterland left.
Only effect of the transfer, the
Genoesa said, would be that for
eign shipping lines would re
place the Italian lines on the
runs from Genoa, thus damaging
Genoa without helping Trieste.
Genoa's competitor, the French
port of Marseilles, also would
benefit from the removal of the
Italian ships to far-away Trieste,
the Genoese claimed.
The port of Genoa serves a
wide hinterland including the in
dustrial areas of Milan and Tur
in and all of land-locked Switz
erland. Railway connections
from Genoa to central and north
ern Europe . also are better and
faster than from Trieste. The
shortest railway line from Tri
este to Vienna passes through
Yugoslavia, which has no inter
est in helping Trieste's traffic
by easing tariffs. '
. Genoese, businessmen - who
have poured considerable sums
into a project for construction
of an airport near the city said
the airport too would be of no
use if Genoa lost it maritime
connections.
Trieste's answer to these ar
guments was:
"We need the ships to over
come our economic crisis. And
besides they're ours."

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN
Upper Colorado Project Will Go
To Congress Again, McKay Says
Denver (U.R) Interior Secre
tary Douglas McKay has assured
backers of the huge Upper Colo
rado Storage project that the
four - state, multi - development
program will be resubmitted to
Congress next session with the
full support of the Eisenhower
administration.
Ike Hasn't Wavered
After a 25-minute bedside
conference with the President
here yesterday, McKay said "Mr.
Eisenhower hasn't wavered an
inch'' in his support of the proj
ect. The Upper Colorado author
ization bill was shelved by the
House last session.
The interior secretary said he
expected the Upper Colorado
project, along with the Frying
Pan-Arkansas project in south
ern Colorado, to be included in
the President's State of the
Union message early in January.
"If the projects aren't includ
ed in that message," said McKay,
"they probably will be the sub
ject of a special message short
ly afterward.'-'
McKay said the Interior de
partment was continuing its sup
port "of the original bill." The
Senate-passed version called for
a billion dollar program and in
cluded the controversial Echo
Jury Selection in Fong Trial Stalled
Rabbits Targets
Of Hanford Gunners
Camp Hanford (U.R) Sol
diers who man the giant 75 mil
limeter guns and Nike guided
missiles guarding the Hanford
atomic plant were plinking away
at rabbits with .22 caliber rifles
today on specific orders of the
Army. -
It seems, according to an Army
order issued to the 5th AA
Group, the rabbits are "destroy
ing the esthetic appearance" of
the camp's gunsites.
The guns are located in the
desert around the sprawling
atomic reservation and the sol
diers have gone to a lot of trou
ble to plant corn and wheat and
grass anything green to hold
down the central Washington
dust and make the isolated gun
sites a little more livable.
But the rabbits have been
keeping the pretty green things
chopped off at the ground. Not
only that, but the Army says
there are "hordes" of the crit
ters. So the Army issued a direc
tive calling for "extermination
of all rabbits."
Television Permit
Sought at Coos Bay
Washington (U.R) Koos,
Inc., has requested authority to
build a channel 16 television sta
tion at Coos Bay, Ore.
KOOS had filed for this same
authority three years ago but
withdrew its bid. Its new appli
cation, filed before the federal
communication commission late
yesterday, came only a few days
after Pacific Television of Eu
gene, Ore., had applied for the
same construction permit. Pa
cific TV owns KVAL-TV at Eugene.
Portland (U.R) Final em
panelling of a jury to hear the
second trial of Sherry Fong on
a first degree murder charge
was stalled here today when
two of the 12 jurors chosen earl
ier were excused.
Attorneys had previously cho
sen a panel of eight women and
four men.- Late this morning,
however, Doris E. Farrell tele
phoned that she was ill and
Judge Alfred P. Dobson excus
ed her.
Laveta F. Goulder was drop
ped by stipulation of attorneys
on the basis of a letter from a
physician that she needed to be
near her husband who is ill.
Mrs. Fong and her husband,
Wey Him, were convicted last
spring but the verdict was over
thrown and new trials were or
dered. They chose to be tried
separately.
The jury was dismissed after
it was chosen yesterday but will
be locked up until the end of the
trial, which may take about
three weeks.

Park dam phase bitterly attack
ed by conservationists.
The House version eliminated
the Echo Park phase and a num
ber of participating projects in
the four-state area of Colorado,
Wyoming, New Mexico and Utah
covered by the project.
McKay was vague on whether
he thought the Echo Park phase
would be included in the bill
when the legislation is reintro
duced. He refused to speculate
on its chances for passage.
