Crown Attorney Says No Inquest Planned In Fatal Accident Flint, Mich. -UP&- A Cana dian crown attorney said to day "I don't think" there will be an inquest into the fatal shooting of a retired General Motors vice president by for mer GM President Harlow H. Curtice in a duck hunting ac cident. - S.A.K. Logan, crown attor ney for Lambton county, On tario, said at Sarnia that there appeared to be no doubt the shooting was an accident and that he didn't believe an in quest would be necessary.. But he s a i d he planned to consult with provincial police later today before making a final decision, ; . Curtice, meanwhile, remain ed secluded at his home here, g.-ieving quietly - but deeply over the death of "my very dear friend." t . Former GM Vice President Harry W. Anderson was Oregon Man to Testify in D.C. Washington-(UPD-A congres sional study of Soviet econo mic strides focused today on a prediction that controls on free world trade with Russia "are probably Roomed, as they should be." ' " The forecast came from, Robert Loring Allen of .the University of : Oregon one, of the panelists scheduled to tes tify before the House-Senate economic subcommittee .' com paring the United States and Soviet economies. In an advance paper Allen said that "strategic trade con trols now have limited scope and . . '. are1 best suited for imposition in the likelihood of hostilities within a reason ably short period." y v f "Otherwise, the potential enemy insulates himself against the deprivation, and in time is better off ; than would have been the - case in the absence of the embargo," he said. ' The United States "and its allies have agreed since World War II on a list of strategic items which they will not sell to Russia. However, ; various countries have tried toj nar row this list from time to time to build up East-West trade. ' -1 struck - by the charge from Curtice's gun Wednesday when, fee stood up in a duck blind and stumbled j u s t as Curtice pulled the trigger. The blast tore away the up per-right portion of Ander son's head. He lost consciousness im mediately and died about an hour later while Curtice and other hunting companions earned him toward . help on the Canadian mainland. Curtice, Anderson, George Kennedy and Arthur Brown, a Detroit manufacturer's rep resentative, had been hunting together at an exclusive 7,- 000 acre preserve owned by Kennedy's Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Co. of Detroit, on St. Anne island. The island is at the juncture of the St. Clair river and Lake St. Clair which form the international boundary between Michigan and Ontario. It took the party about an hour to get from the duck blind to the hunting lodge by truck and boat, a distance of about four miles. Consoles Widow When they arrived on the Canadian mainland with An derson's body, Curtice talked to Canadian provincial police for about an hour and then rushed to the American side of the international waters and drove to Andersons' home at Ann Arbor, Mich., about 90 miles away. "I am deeply grieved," Cur tice said on arriving at the Anderson home to console the widow of his friend. "Harry Anderson was my very dear friend for many years." He then went inside apd talked privately with Mrs. Anderson for about 20 min utes before he left for his own home at Flint,' another 50 mile trip. At home, friends shielded him from .reporters but promised he would meet with them today. - Curtice and his companions have hunted ducks on the opening day of the Ontario season at the same preserve every year for eight years. They were just about to quit for the day when the accident occurred. Witnesses told the same story Curtice himself related to Ontario Constable' Owen Collins who questioned him about the accident. , MedfordTribune Rogue Valley Edition ..'

(UPI Telephoto) -New York -(DPD- The stock market rose and fell today as hopes rose and dimmed on a a steel contract settlement. Opening firm, the list rose in the first hour, slipped back slightly on profit-taking and moved up substantially under the lead of steels. The last move reflected a new man agement offer for a steel set tlement. ' The union promptly reject ed the offer and prices slip ped in the third hour and eas ed further in the fourth. Steel shares which had re gistered gains ranging to more than 2 points declined to losses running to that amount. Some of the rails slipped off despite a sharp rise in car loadings. Motors, too, turned down with Ameri can off more than a point. Du Pont dropped nearly 4 points from its high and was 2 points net lower near closing time. .
