Medfly believed under control
Fruit prices may drop
United Press International
Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. has
declared California’s Mediterra
nean fruit fly infestation under
control but says the state’s pro
duce industry still faces an image
problem that may cause a drop in
fruit prices.
A produce packer said fear of
the Medfly was responsible for the
decline in prices for California
produce, but supermarket repre
sentatives blamed oversupply.
In Los Gatos, a spokesman for
the Federal-state medfly eradica
tion program said Sunday that the
aerial spraying campaigns in the
Santa Clara Valley and Stanislaus
County in northern California and
in Los Angeles County in South
ern California have shown positive
results. Since last week, there
have been no new discoveries of
Medfly larvae, he said.
“There’s no need for fear or
panic,” Brown told reporters Sun
day at the offices of Paul Engler
Los Angeles County Agricultural
Commissioner Paul Engler. “The
Medfly has been brought under
control.”
“The major problem is one of
the perception of other states and
other countries imposing a
quarantine on California fruit.
tine and the daily
counts, and it has to
psychological effect.”
“I even think about it,”Ife
said. “When I take abiteil!]
plum, I think, ‘Hey, whalij
here? Maggots?”’
Lu Haas, director of programs
and policy for the governor, ex
plained Brown’s statement:
“Wherever we sprayed, we have
not had a new outbreak of flies.
This is the real test of whether
we’re controlling the situation,
not that we’re having larvae
finds.”
Several national supernal
chains discounted the fearfc
however. They said con*?
reaction has been minimal a

Charles Sanderson, an official
of California tree fruit agreement,
a marketing group, said fears of
quarantines meant retailers could
not purchase and advertise with
confidence.

Space shuttle Columbia roll-
honors Kennedy Center crew
United Press International
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
Space technicians readied the
shuttle Columbia Monday for a
3V2-mi|e roll-out to the firing pad,
where it will undergo final prepa
rations for its test flight in
October.
The winged freighter —- first
reusable spacecraft in history — is
already in position on the same
mobile platform it scorched dur
ing the April 12 blast-off.
The whole assembly was to be
hauled Monday from Cape Canav
eral’s rocket assembly building to
the oceanside launch site on a
massive crawling machine origin
ally built to carry Apollo moon
rockets in the 1960’s.
Flight No. 2 of the Columbia,
carrying its first working payload
and an untested crane to unload
satellites, is scheduled to begin
Oct.9.
Officials blamed the delay on
minor technical problems the ex
pectation of frequent thunder
storms and the desire to give the
launch crew a rest before launch.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration used Mon
day’s roll-out as an opportunity to
honor more than 200 Kennedy
Space Center workers for their
roles in preparing the Columbia
for its initial flight.
“The flight of Columbia repre
sents a technological achievement
of the highest order,” NASAadmi-
nistrator James Beggs said in an
awards ceremony.
“To those of you who took part
in the space shuttle program there
can be a special feeling—tl
ognition that hard work, c
tion and cooperation can
come almost any obstacle-s
the pride of knowing that::
were part of the team that mr
