Melds t'lioM-n Hut Pcrxiiinel Scant Commenting on the establishment of new flying fields. It was pointed ouf that every effort had been made both In planning new fields and in the selection for retention of cer tain ones among those which were operated during the war to stimulate commercial aviation and to fulfill the requirements of national defense. It has been impossible to achieve this purpose, however, because of the re duced strength of the air service, the enforced concentration of activities and the consequent lack of operating personnel for a full complement of stations. In this connection the report out lines the plan for the development of a comprehensive system of air ways covering the continental limits of the I'nlted States. , Hriefly stated, the plan contem plates an organized system of air ways equipped with adequate meteor ological and radio stations embrac ing terminal facilities for aircraft every 200 miles, routed when pos sible so as to keep the planes within gliding distance of substations at all times and provided with markers for both day and nUht flying. - The perfection cf ameh a system. It is believed, wluld be the greatest contribution the air service could make commercial aviation. Inasmuch as It would prevent the malority of aircraft accidents, most of which are caused by forced landings on rough ground. "Assuming the enactment of sult abletogislation covering the legal phases of air craft operation there would remain no other vital impedi ment to the rapid development of aerial transportation facilities," In the opinion of General Patrick. "And not alone to the! commerc.lnl en deavor would such a system lend Its aid. The advantages of well defined routs of aerial travel have already made themselves apparent in the rou tine opeartlon of the air service and would become increasingly so In time of emergency with the rapid con "entration of air force units as a vital concern of national defense." I'lends for More Men and Money In regard to the problem of per sonnel it was declared that the au thorized strength of the air service, which consists of 1.001 officers and 8,764 enlisted men, was short of ac tual requirements. Nevertheless, ac cording to the report, the present strength of the service is even below this figure, due to lack of money for recruiting and procurement pro grama. As a result of these Inadequacies. It was declared, the air service is operating on a basis which does not permit the fulfillment of Its mission and any further reduction will result In greater deficiencies and onlv a substantial Increase can enable it to meet the demands placed upon it. Furthermore, according to the re port, there has been no increase in the number of air service units of either the national guard or the re serve officers' training coryps. In conclusion the report says: "It la considered that the annual appropriation for the support of the air service since the World War has heen Inadequate. In view of the rapid development of aviation the -equlrenients of continued engineer ing and research work constitute an Imperative need, while the shortage of aircraft occasioned by the lack of funds for replacement will shortly present an extremely critical siiu tlon. It Is therefore urgently rec ommended that a protram be adopt ed and adhered to until this service is properly equipped and on an effl- E CASE IS ENDED (Br 'tnlted Pr-s NEW YOltK. Nov. 22.

Except for slight flurries there was no change and at the close of buying thk) eve ning indications pointed to a weak market. A few choice birds sold for 27 '4 cents, and a few extra fancies brought even higher prices, but for the market the price etood at 27 cents during the entire day and was the amount paid by the buyers. Receipts were heavy In spite of the fact that the growers are holding back tbe bulk of the birds for the Chrfesttuas trade. Many of the turkey failed to fatten up In time for the Thanksgiv ing market, and consequently will be held until the holidays. The price was also a factor, a many growers preferred to take chance on better prices at Christinas time rather than sell for the low price paid today. The price pirld today was Ihe low est for many year. In fact, since the war, and grower felt rather reluctant to sell at the prices set. However, all Indications point to a weak mar ket, and late this afternoon the buy ers were pieslinlstic concerning the future. It was repotted before the market closed, that the big houses represented by local buyers had plac ed a limit on the number of bird to be received. Indicating that they do not look forward to any upward tend emioa. Caxh buyers In Roseburg' today re ceived a heavier per cenlage of turka than for the last few seanons. Al though tho pool was well patronited, a large number of growers sold for cash and the independent buyers were kept busy handling the birde brought in. George Kohlhagen had Ihe largest . number of birds of the Roseburg buyers. Mr. Kohlhagen was only slightly behind the pool In the num ber of turkeyx received. The Peoples Supply company, also had liberal receipts, and their large warehouse contained many fine look ing fowls. Ixiuls Knhthsgen also had a num ber of birds on hand. Harry Hatilon, of the Roeeburit Poultry Market drew out of the mar ket early this morning and refused lo buy. He was one of Ihe heaviest buyer last year. O. J. Lindsay bought a few birds for rash here, but purchased a large num ber 1n other towns. The pool operated by the Farm Bureau Exchange, received more birds than any of the local buyers, but not In proHirtlon to last season. Judging from appearances. In the northern part of the county, however. It Is reported Ihst. the pool Ik receiving the bulk of the turkeys, and that nol so many of Ihe grower are eelllng for rash as In Roseburg. At Kutheitln and Oakland the receipts were heavy and the pool there will be quite large. Xwirt and company, and I. W.
