Blood Plasma Units Returned Here for Gyilian Practice Hospitals and physicians of Douglas County have received 61 dried blood plasma units, the first supolv of free life-saving plasma for use In civilian medi cal practice. Dr. E. J. Wainscott, county health officer, and O. A. Kennerly, Jr., manager of the Red Cross chapter in Douglas County, announced today. The plasma is being returned to the American people through the American Red Cross, from the surplus supply of dried blood plasma turned back to the Red Cross by the Army and Navy. The plasma will be available without cost although there may be a charge for professional ser vices in administering it. Distri bution within Douglas County is being made by the Douglas County department of health, which will forward more supplies of plasma as needed. The total surplus is approximately 1.250.000 packages, estimated as sufficient to meet the civilian needs of the country for two years. "The war brought home to us how essential readily available blood and plasma are In helping to save lives," Kennerly said. "The use of this plasma will demonstrate the value of having a permanent community civilian blood program. Whole blood is still needed in three out of every four transfusions, so this dried plasma only partly meets the need for hlood donation."

Air power is not composed of military air power alone, uuick said, but includes civil as well as military aviation; commercial as well as private flyin", and po tential as well as existing air power. It includes "the whole aviation capacity military, com mercial, ana manuiacturin" which compose a dynamic trin ity." Quick represents the Aircraft Industries Association of Amer ica with its headquarters in Los Angeles, and was formerly execu tive assistant in charge ol public relations for the North American Aviation, Inc., of In"clwood, Calif. He was also sales execu tive and advertising representa tive for the Standard Oil Com pany of Indiana In Detroit, Mich., lor many years. He is consid ered an aviation authority. Future "Must" Enjoined A recent let Drooulsion plane. he said, exceeded the speed of sound, whichis 762 miles an hour. Before 1935, he predicted, "all of you" will be traveling through the air at 1,500 miles per hour and "will think nothing of it." Airoort and air park develop ment is a community must, if towns are to avoid the fate of earlier towns which were al lowed to be by-passed by the rail ways. "Don t let your town be by-passed, he urged. "Don t let your area become a ghost area." Air power is peace power, he said. In detailing current military developments. Including jet and rocket propulsion planes travel ing at super-sonic speeds and self guided missiles carrying atomic bombs, Quick warned that it is imperative for the United States, which now has the greatest air force in the world, to maintain Its scientific research and de velopment, else it will lose its place of preeminence in aviation and national security will be en dangered. Deficit Financing Opposed, Sales Tax Favored by Group R. R. Clarke, Oakland farmer who was recently elected director of Oregon Uusiness and lax Ke search. Inc., reports that Con gressman Harris Ellsworth ad vised the taxpayer organization that he has "voted and will con tinue to vote for reduction in government spending, and hopes for the balancing of the national budget at an early date." Direc tors of Oregon's taxpayers or ganization voted to urge the state's congressional delegation to stand solidly for a balanced federal budget and challenge 11 billions of proposed spending to put an end to deficit financ ing. The federal debt, the tax payer group directors agreed, must be reduced before tax reduc tion can be expected. Mr. Clarke supported resolu tions to continue the 6 per cent limitation in Oregon, to demand that the legislature stop enacting tax levies that are "mandatory" upon counties, and In favor of a sales tax to meet school and other risin costs, rather than high state property tax levies that are being proposed. The nine taxpayer association directors said that a "general sales tax is the only source of sufficiently large new tax rev enue that will satisfy the accumu lating demands of all competing groups," Including higher educa tion, public schools, farmer roads, public welfare, public emnloyee retirement funds and salary de mands. A tax levy on gross receipts t-f-n tT7,Tfvm, E X " mo" st y i i , , , . tn carry at A tnLlacle CSM1 of all businesses and occupations, such as has been suggested in place of personal property taxes, was opposed by Mr. Clarke and his associates so long as Oregon taxes net incomes, according to the Portland office of the tax payer organization.
