Sfrafocrulser to Boston Has Engine Trouble; Returns Shannon, Ireland -(DPD - A EOAC stratocruiser under charter to a Boston group landed safely today after turn ing back on a flight to Boston because. of mechanical failure In one engine. The 79 passengers, members of the Appalachian Mountain club, were returning from a vacation in Switzerland. A 10' man crew was aboard. - , ' Capt. Don Bellingham of Aylesbury, England, said the airliner was 1,000 miles out of Shannon when "we had mechanical failure in the No. 4 engine and then the cowling came adrift."- A full emergency alert was sounded at Shannon. Ships at sea were warned and planes in the air ordered to detour, Plan Escorted The DC-7C on a flight from Boston to London arrived quickly at the spot and a Royal Air Force Shackleton bomber took off from Saint Mawgan, in Cornwall, Eng land, to join the escort. The double-decker plane ap peared through the sea mist over Shannon at 7:20 a.m. as dozens of airport fire engines lined the runway. Motor launches equipped with spe cial grappling and fire-fight-, ing equipment cruised nearby on the River Shannon. Two minutes later Belling ham- brought the plane down to a perfect landing, exactly four hours after he had radio ed that the plane was in trou ble. v "We suffered a great deal of buffeting for awhile and I had to reduce airspeed," said Bellingham, a senior British pilot with BOAC since 1945. The engine had been strip ped for examination and a BOAC spokesman said it was expected the flight would con tinue to Boston later tonight. He said he had "no idea yet" what caused the trouble. Loay Shannon The plane left Shannon at midnight for Boston and Bel lingham radioed that it was returning because of trouble with the No. 4 engine which necessitated feathering a pro peller. Fred Mitchell, of West Hart ford, Conn., said, "after the first big shake all the passen gers were told to put on life belts. There was no panic but we all were in a cold sweat." There was a terrible noise and an explosion," Robert Gardner of Boston said. "Everybody woke up.

There is a 100 foot cliff at the Finch home, he said. "There were strong sus picions on the basis of her original story that she and the doctor had acted in con cert, but they were not strong enough to wipe away the shadow of reasonable doubt. "But at the conclusion of her testimony, if you took all the evidence-the relation ship of the parties, the type of wound and the murder kit-her testimony showed an active participation." The "murder kit" he de scribed as the attache case found at the scene and be longing to Finch. Its contents included rope and sleep-inducing Seconal. . . ' Whicello said he believed Finch and Miss Tregoff were thwarted from the original murder scheme by Mrs. Finch's cries which brought Miss Lidholm running to the scene. Mrs. Finch, who had a di vorce suit pending against Finch, was fatally shot through the back. Miss Lid holm said she saw Finch pur suing his wife., but had re turned to the home to call police when she heard the fatal shot. Miss Tregoff, contrary to Miss Lidholm's testimony, said she saw Mrs. Finch with the gun. She earlier testified she had been intimate with Finch and hoped' to marry him. Trees Should be Checked for Borer Fruit growers are urged by Don Berry,, county extension agent, to check their trees carefully for peach twig borer and to spray immediately, if necessary. Infestations may be detect ed by dead tips on new growth and by small holes with fine sawdust - like ma terial near the stem end of the peach, or where blemishes or bruises occur on the fruit. DDT at 2 pounds per 100 gallons or 10 pounds per acre should be used if applied 30 days before harvest on late varieties. Sevin 50-W at 2 pounds per 100 gallons may be substituted for DDT and applied up to within one day previous to harvest. The soon er sprays are applied, the less visible residue will show on the fruit. Where mites are present, Kelthane at IV2 pounds per 100 or 8 pounds per acre may be added to the above. Thorough coverage is neces sary to get good control of twig borer and mites. - Homeowners with a few trees are advised that 1 ounce of 50 per cent ' DDT per 3 gallons of water should be used, if necessary, for twig borer. BURDEN NEARLY GONE Westmorland, Calif.- (DPD -The four-man police force of this southern California com munity is looking forward to shrugging a burden off its shoulders. About two years ago the four officers got new uniforms, complete with shoulder patch -insignia. But the name of the town was spelled wrong "Westmore land" instead of "Westmor land." Police in neighboring towns, rarely missed " an op portunity to 'point it outl "It won't be too much longer," Police Chief Melvin McGill said today. "They're about worn out and soon we'll order new ones." $35 Billion Said Outstanding In Installment Credit in U.S. By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New -York (DPD Not too many years ago, if you want ed to administer the most un kindest cut of all, you'd say derisively to your adversary: "How are you buying that suit a dollar down and a dollar when they catch you?" Today things are different and it's the unusual person who can sneer at buying on credit. There is a total of more than $35. billion outstanding in installment credit and the overall consumer credit item amounts to nearly $46 billion. Today the credit ranges far away from the clothing busi ness, a pioneer in the busi ness. It includes meals, vaca tions, travel in general, and just about everything you can think of. The biggest item in installment buying, of course, is automobiles where the total runs to around $15 billion. Just about every time those credit figures are released by the government, there is talk here and there they are too high and something ought to be done about it-even to the extent o government con trols. Not Too High A. W. Zelomek, president and economist of the Interna tional Statistical Bureau, holds that consumer credit figures are not too high. In International's current "Trend of Distribution," Zelo mek holds a further gain of about $5 billion in all consum er credit is probable. But, he adds, a supportable level may be close to $2 billion above the present figures. Those who are concerned about the debt should consid er the following, he says: "1. The middle income fam ilies who are the largest users of consumer credit now re ceive the largest portion of total income after taxes. "2. Consumer credit is used by a larger proportion of fam ilies than before the war. "3. Social prejudice against credit buying has disappeared. "4. Despite the increased purchases of soft goods on time payment,- especially in the revolving credit plan, most of the buying on credit is for consumer durable goods. Automobile purchases repre sent the largest portion of in stallment volume. "5. Various built-in stabili zers have lessened the need for a cushion of savings. "6. The greater number of people moving to urban areas has also been favorable to consumer credit. "7. The real income of fam ilies has increased." Zelomek looks for a gain of nine per cent above a . year ago in retail sales for the last six months of 1959 with all types of retail outlets showing increases, notably durable goods where automobiles are making the-best gains. Furniture and appliance group sales should show the second largest gain in the dur able goods category, he adds, with lumber, building, and hardware following. All non durable goods groups also are expected to show gains. Generally, he finds consum ers in a better position to in crease their short term debt, and he sees losses from credit sales to continue at a low level. Bids Opened for New Mall Building Salem - (DPD - Henry M. Mason company, Portland, Tuesday was low among 10 bidders for the new Labor and Industries building in the Capitol Mall. The bid was $2,790,000 which officials said was sur prisingly favorable to the state. The State Department of Finance and Administration estimated that the building might cost $3,500,000. The new building will be a four-story structure located north of the state library on the site of the Presbyterian church which was moved to rnake way for it. . The building should be complete early in 1961. Gamble-Hawkins company, Portland, submitted the low bid of $165,200 for movable partitions in the building, de signed so that maximum use could be made of available space. No delay was expected be cause of the steel strike as bidders were advised to have enough steel on hand for the projecfearlier. Value of All Farm Assets in County Shows Increase Washington-(DPD-The value of all farm assets in the Unit ed States rose 9 per cent last year to an all-time high of $203,100,000,000, the Federal Reserve System reported to day. Total farm debt also reach ed a record $23,300,000,000, up three-billion dollars, or 14.8 per cent, from Jan. 1, 1958. The assets minus the total debt left the equity of farm operators and other owners of farm property at a record $179,800,000,000, up $13,600, 000,000, or 8.3 per cent, from a year earlier. About half of the total in crease of nearly 17 billion dollars in. farm asset values resulted from the rising value of farm real estate. Farm real estate values have risen each year since 1953 and have ac counted for about 70 per cent of the increase in the total value of farm assets since Jan. 1, 1954. Farm assets include the fi nancial assets, automobiles, and household furnishings and equipment owned by farmers as well as all the assets used directly in farm production, such as farm land and build ings, livestock, tractors, mo tor trucks, farm machinery, and inventories of crops. All other types of farm as sets as well as real estate values increased during 1958. Among them, livestock on farms showed the greatest in crease in value-about four billion dollars. The increase in farm mort gage debt to $11,300,000,000, 000 from $10,500,000,000 was about the same percentage rate as in other recent years. An exceptionally large in crease occurred in non-real estate farm debt. The sharp increase in Commodity Credit Corp. loans to farmers result ed mainly from the greater quantities of cotton, wheat, soybeans, and grain sorghum that were under price support loan.
