HIRAM WALKER TRIPLE SEC to California will certainly de crease sales in that state,” Brown said. He said California occupa tional safety and health require ments have placed supermar kets in an uneasy position for potential lawsuits, and several major store chains have said they will not carry fumigated fruit. The Texas citrus must be tre ated with ethylene dibromide in order to prevent the spread of the Mexican fruit fly. Brown said health food stores had increased their purchases of unfumigated Texas fruit signifi cantly this season, but those sales also will stop with the new fumi gation order. Texas ordinarily sells about 20 percent of its citrus to Cali fornia buyers, but Brown said shipments to California will be very low for the remainder of the season. Lack of equipme cause of crash? United Press International DALLAS — The Air Flor ida jet that crashed last week | was among nearly 2,000 air craft in which economic con siderations have comprom ised safety, the Airline Passen ger Association says. David O. Stamey, manag ing director of the 110,000- member association based in Dallas, said Wednesday safety is being compromised on the jets through non-use of Air borne Vibration Monitor sys tems. He said the systems alert flight crews to conditions that may precede engine failure. The systems were required by a 1974 law, but almost all of the nation’s 2,000 jets have avoided compliance because type certificate applications pre-date the regulation. Aircraft predating the law included the Air Florida Boeing 737 that crashed on takeoff in the Potomai on Jan. 13, killing 791 Stamey said.
