nspected Meat Ummvi Used in School Lunch Programs Crash May Bring Recorder Washington -WPli- The myt- terioui crash o( a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 720B in the Florida Everglades Tuesday will spur develop ment of indestructible voice recorders. Many air salety experts be- lieve some means of recording pilot voices will help provide the key to crashes which are becoming progressively more difficult to solve. Experts believe the last words of a crew caught up in a life-or-dealh emergency might supply clues to the cause of the resulting crash All jet-powered airliners and some piston-engine planes now carry flight recorders, These supply data on such factors as speed, altitude, di rection, G gravity; forces en countered and attitude. They are required on high-perform' ance airliners simply because such planes are extremely complicated - and complexity makes an accident that much harder to solve. Two Persons Die As Hotel Burns Peoria, III. - IUPD - A $500,. 000 fire destroyed the 70-year old Mayer hotel in downtown Peoria today, killing at least two persons and injuring eight others. Fire Chief Lester Menace, who made the damage esti mate, said the blaze apparent ly broke out on the top floor of the five - story building where the two badly charred bodies were found. Authorities identified the two victims as Porter Ryburn, 60, and Chester Miller, 68. Both were residents of the hotel. One of the injured per sons was in critical condition. The hotel was Inhabited mainly by elderly persons, Menace said. The flight recorder on the Northwest Orient plane has been recovered and sent to Washington for analysis which may take several days or longer. But the device ad mittedly is second choice to a voice recorder placed in the cockpit. Rep. Roman C. Pucinski (D 111.) has introduced legislation which would make installa tion of voice recorders manda tory on all airliners. While he has considerable support from pilots, airlines and both fed eral air agencies, experts point out that (1) more re search is needed to perfect such a device and (2) they probably will be enormously expensive. One estimate gives $8,000 per aircraft as the cost of a voice recorder that would be immune from impact, fire or water damage. The tentative bill for equipping about 2,000 aircraft would hit $16 million. There is a third obstacle -the feeling of some authorities that the last words of a crew in trouble could mislead in vestigators. Pilots may not al ways recognize the source of an emergency and could give the wrong information. In one case on record, a crew radioed thst a fire was raging in a baggage compartment.

WEST GERMAN OFFICIALS DISCUSS BRITAIN Bonn-HIPIi-Ranking West German government and parlia mentary officials met today to discuss possibilities of re suming Common Market negotiations with Britain, The conference was initiated by Former Foreign Minis ter Heinrich Von Brentano, who now is leader of the Chris tian Democratic Parliamentary party. EAST GERMAN PROPAGANDIST DISMISSED Berlin-lllPll-Easi German Propaganda Chief Horst Sinder- mann has been dropped from his post, a West Berlin intelli gence organisation said today. The private information bureau West Agency said the long-time head of the agitation and propaganda section of the Communist Central committee has been succeeded by Rudi Singer, chief editor of the party newspaper Freiheit in Halle. A fatal crash followed, but it turned out that the fire origi nated outside the baggage compartment - and the pilots' last message led investigators into a fruitless search down the wrong alley.

Use of Mobile Slaughter Units Feature of Bill Salem - IUPD - A charge that uninspected meat was being used in school lunch programs was made Wednesday at a Senate Agriculture committee hearing on the farm slaughter bill. Floyd Green, representing a Eugene meat company, voiced the charge, and urged laws prohibiting the sale of unin spected meat. Sen. L. W. Newbry (R-Ash-land) asked if Green personal ly knew of any uninspected meat going to schools. "I know It gets into the school program," Green an swered. "Can you prove it?" New bry asked. "I think we could, but why should we, that's up to the state," Green replied. Kay Features Meat Inspection and the use of mobile slaughtering units are key features of the bill, SB103. Under present laws, both inspected and u n inspected meat can be cut in packing houses. The proposed law would prohibit this. Proponents of the new law say loopholes in present regu lations do not prevent some packing houses from selling uninspected meat to retail out lets. Among those favoring the bill were Donald Gardner, Medford, representing four meat packing firms. He urged "protection of consumers from uninspected meat." Fred Boyer, Roseburg, charged "mobile slaughter units are a loophole" and can sell uninspected meat to mar kets. Spaaks Against Bill John Johnson of Eagle Point, speaking against the proposed new law, said he in vested $13,000 in a mobile slaughter unit. He does cus tom cutting, and said this was a great asset to farmers in our area." He said passage of the bill could cause hardships for "a lot of small businesses." Ho added he had never be fore heard of any uninspected meat being sold to retailers. Coommittee Chairman Wal ter Leth (R-Salem) said "we have no fixed ideas on this is sue, this bill was drafted so we could start discussions." U.S. Firms Plan Displays Inside EEC Boundaries New York - IUPD - Next month, a group of United States firms will put on a "hard sell" show within the boundaries of the European Economic Community, the first time this has been done since the late December col lapse of Britain's effort to en ter the EEC. The site is Utrecht, The Netherlands. March 11-19 at the Royal Netherlands Indus tries Fair. It was one of three which were announced as se lections in early December when the Department of Com merce disclosed a broad out line of its plans to join forces with private enterprise for a sales effort of this kind. Exclusive Coal "The Utrecht effort," ex plained a bulletin issued by U.S. sources In The Nether lands, "will be the first with the exclusive goal of creating direct business results and opening channels for repre sentation abroad." Results of the "hard sell" show will be watched with interest by members of the exporting community and they extend from coast to coast. One show is not likely to determine an entire trade policy, but the net outcome might be studied to determine which way the wind is blow ing in European trade. Funds Sti Aiidt The Commerce department has operated 127 trade fairs sponsored by the government since 1954. But a Congression al appropriation last year set aside $16 million to be used for sales efforts In proven overseas markets. Expansion of exports is a goal of the present administration. A review of the business concerns which are to be rep resented at Utrecht can be regarded as an illustration of how broad is the involvement of American business in over seas trade. Their lines tap the consumer market, agricul ture, packaging, light and heavy electrical equipment. Their home offices span the nation from Minneapolis to Tulsa, from Los Angeles to New York. Tax Repeal Speaker Applauded Salem fUPD The forces be hind the "liberty amendment" applauded their spokesman Wednesday night as he called for repeal of the federal in come tax. Nearly 300 reluctant tax payers crowded into the House State and Federal Affairs com mittee hearing to backstop Willis E. Stone, author of the proposed amendment to the U. S. constitution. Stone said it would mean a 20 per cent increase in take home pay. More important, he said, it would take the federal gov ernment out of some 700 ac tivities that are in direct com petition with private enter prise, and are losing money as well. It would strip away over grown federal powers, he said, and return sovereignty to the states and the people. The amendment, along with repealing the tax, would limit the federal government to only those enterprises "speci fied in the constitution." Stone said the cutback would save $45 billion a year. Programs that would be eliminated include the Small Business Administration, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Bonneville Power Admin istration, and the Federal School Lunch Program The proposal has been ap prover! by the legislatures of Georgia, South Carolina, Lou isiana, Texas, Wyoming and Nevada. If two-thirds of the states approve it, it would be come a formal proposed amendment, needing final ratification by three-fourths of the states. I MADE IT MYSELF . . . ond saved besides!
