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. When

and put her in her car and
push the car off the cliff,"
said Whicello. 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.
