Sorry, no cash refunds. eradication of the Mediterranean fruit fly infestation in California. ” The report by the department’s Animal and Plant Health Eradica tion Service said aerial spraying of malathion is showing positive re sults. “We do feel we re looking at the point where we can declare an end to this in the reasonably near fu ture,” said official Susan Hess. In the crop-rich San Joaquin Valley, no flies or larvae have been found since Sept. 3. Four local ized outbreaks outside the first three infested counties have been blamed on traveler’s illegally tak ing fruit out of the quarantined areas, federal agriculture officials said. Unless new discoveries of flies are reported, officials plan to stop treatment in the originally in fested areas of Santa Clara, Alame da and San Mateo counties about Nov. 1, the status report said. An end to the spraying depends on the California fall weather Cali fornia Medfly Director Jerry Scribner said. “We re hoping for a mild fall. If it stays warm until mid-November, we’ve got a good chance of not having to spray next spring.” Scribner said, the life cycle of the fly will end if the winter is early making continued spraying pointless. “I’ll wait until I hear from the technical committee Thursday, Scribner said. They are looking at the fly’s life cycle and will give a recommendation for ending treat ment.” The Agriculture Department report included indirect criticism of California Gov. Edmund “Ger ry” G. Brown Jr., who ordered aerial spraying in July only after being threatened with a federal quarantine of the entire state. The report said it was clear by last November the infestation was greater last November than could be handled by the availability of sterile flies used to mate with fer- sterile flies used to mate with fer tile flies to reduce the spread. Local officials rejected a Dec. 5 announcement by the Agriculture Department to begin aerial spraying. U.S. negotiators said they had persuaded the Japanese to relax a ban on imports of California pro duce, whether from a Medfly zone or not. Officials in Washington, D.C., said the multimillion-dollar shipments, mostly citrus, are now cleared for entry into Japan if properly treated.

Not registering for dral may mean prosecution United Press International WASHINGTON — The Justice Department plans to notify young men who fail to register for the Selective Service that they may be prosecuted. Failure to register carries a five-year jail term and $10,000 fine. The decision was announced by department officials Tuesday. “The attorney general made the decision we are going to prose cute these cases. Now it’s a ques tion of how we are going to prose cute,” Associate Attorney General Rudolph Giuliani said, ^ Justice Department spokesman John Russell said the department has formulated guidelines for pro secutors to use in registration cases. The guidelines, however, have not been sent to attorneys around the country, and Russell emphasized the Justice Depart ment is months away from embarking on prosecutions. “The purpose of the guidelines is to simply assure that we have identified those who are willfully refusing to comply with the law, ” said one department official who declined to be identified. “And part of the thrust of the guidelines is that those who are willfully engaging in this conduct are identified.” AGGIES!
