1 ! i t 2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ort. Tuea., Oct. 4, 1949 Governor Issues Proclamation On Newspaper Week In recognition of National Newspaper week, extending from Oct, 1 to 8, Governor Douglas Mc Kay has aubmitted the following italement: "You would have to hunt a long time and range far afield to find a more appropriate slogan than that adopted for th? tenlh annual National Newspaper Week, Oct. 1 to 8: "Freedom Goes Where the Newspaper Goes." "Those six words testify to the Impact of an unfetlercd press with a force and clarity no How of prose or oratory could match. They say, In effect, that news papers which prk honestly without fear of censorship, and people who have earn 1 the same liberty of expression are In variably found tnxciher. Where you have one, you automatically have the other. One brings the other about and demands its per petuation with no strings attached. "Any man In the public eye should welcome the justified cri ticism of the press. It stands for reassurance that the processes by which he attained official stature are safeguarded by enlightened public opinion that is constantly refreshed by the vigilant re porter and editorial writer. Hence, the dallies and weeklies of Ore gon and the other 47 states are really crusading for better govern ment as they discharge their obli gation to Inform and educate their readers. "Certain unfortunate countries deny their newspapers and their citizens the right to give and re ceive this vital service. I, person ally, would want no part of the life of those countries."

It's the most peaceful walkout In history for Murray's men. Some steel strikes in the past have resulted In vio lence. But there has been little peace In the coal fields.

Additionally. l.00O nonunion miners and 15.000 AFL progres sive union miners In Illinois are working. In Utah the situation is tense. Some 4.000 UMW members said they would not return to work that thev's picket non union mi nes. Instead. The only bright spot was a statement from Governor J. Bracken Lee that operators of non-union mines had agreed to delay for 24 hours any attempt to transport fuel from the picket patrolled mines. And he said UMW representatives and non union operators will talk over the situation with him. A few steel mills are operat ing.

Tuna in Vaur Chrysler Dealer's "Sammy Kaye Showroom- Airport Costs Told To Roseburg Council (Continued from Page One) 4.700 feet; necessary grading, ballasting and drainage; paving the runway with three-inch as phalt ic concrete, 100 feet wide and 4,700 feet long, with a turn around of 100 feet radius at each end; taxiway and apron to the hangar with 100-foot radius fillets at runway Intersection, 90 by 300 feet. Other Improvements would In clude installation of necessaiy runway and obstruction lighting to latest standards. Installation of two radio or electronic beacons at about 2.000 feet and 5 12 miles north of the runway. These requirements, according to Irving, were determined by consultation between the rep o. sentatives of the CAA and those of the West Coast airlines (pros-; pective users) and the pilots who would have to conduct the opera-; Hons to accomplish scheduled , service. ; Flgura Shift Explained Irving called attention to a "variance" with the tentative fig ure given at a recent Chamber of Commerce forum luncheon. This was caused by a shift of the run way alignment which increased the amount of earthwork requir ed to bring the runway to pro posed grade; by the addition of a taxiway and apron at the hangar and filiets at its intersection witi the runway; by the Inclusion of an "appraised value" of property to be acquired and by .he inclu sion of five percent lor legal and financial costs. "An effort has been made," he stated, "to keep this estimate such that final location and grades of the runway and possi ble favorable bids will tend to reduce the total rather than in crease it. Every effort is being made to utilize as much of the previous improvements as possi ble. "In determining the amount of bond issue or other authorization, it would be well to keep in mind that these proposals are consid ered as a minimum and that, as traffic develops, additional im provements will be required, such as taxiways, improvements of administration facilities and improvement of access routes." Costs Are Itemized Proposed improvements are broken down under the general heads as follows: drainage, $17, 400; earthwork, embankment and excavation. $39,000; runway, in cluding ballast, apron to hangar and turn around and fillets. Si ll. 024.50; radio beacons, $18,000: lighting, S20.000: engineering 10 percent, $23,542.45; contingencies 10 percent $23,542.45: real estate (appraised) $24,107; legal and fi nance cost 5 percent, $14,125.47. On the 56-44 percent basis for construction the CAA would stand the cost of $158,205.26, and the city $121,304.14, or a total of $282,509.40. For legal and finance, the CAA's share would be $7, 910.26 and that of the citv $o. 215.21; real estate at a 25-75 per cent basis, the CAA would stand $6,026, and the citv $18,080.25, for a total of $21,107. This would make the CAA's total $172,142.27, and that of the city $148,599.00.
