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

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.”
