AGREEMENT NEEDED By Charles V- Stanton A hitch, which may delay enlargement o( the Roseburg airport, has developed through inability of city and county officials to reach an agreement concerning the measure of cooperation on the part of the county. . City Manager Matt Slankard reports that the city ap parently is nearing an understanding with owners of prop erty needed for extending the airport to the north. As part of the purchase price for the acreage needed, the city proposes to trade an equivalent number of acres along the west side of the port land not needed for runway or huildincr site purposes. One of the conditions of the trade, however, is that a roadway be constructed to connect the west side tracts with the Garden Valley arterial on the south. The city has requested the county court to build this road. The .county court has agreed verbally to improve exist ing streets locate! between the south airport boundary and the Garden Valley road, providing the city ca furnish an additional 10 feet of right of way to widen the roadbed from 40 to 50 feet. It declines, however, to build the neces sary 2500 feet of roadway inside the present port, although the land, following the trade, Precedent Feared By Court County Judge D. N. Busenbark reports that the court is afraid of establishing a precedent it it builds a section of roadway under the proposed conditions, particularly when so many petitions have been filed seeking roadways needed to serve new settlements. . Personally, we feel that little just criticism could be directed toward the court if. it decided to cooperate with the Citv of Rosebursr in this The airport will serve more than one-half the county's population residents from Yoncalla on the north to Can- yonville on the south. It will partially break one of our most critical bottlenecks, that of inadequate facilities for passenger travel.. It will have an impbrtant bearing on economic welfare, and will promote more industry and busi ness, thereby increasing the county's taxable wealth. In fact, the county, as a whole will benefit more from the air port than will the City of Roseburg. It is our opinion that the county should share equally with the municipality in airport construction, but, to save time and legal entanglements, the project cost is being as sumed by the City of Roseburg and the federal government. Almost a half-million dollars will be expended in enlarging the airport, extending and paving the main runway, erect ing an administration building and making other improve ments. The city's cost in the project is $200,000, for which bonds recently were authorized. The federal government will furnish $225,000, or more, as grant-in-aid for purposes of land acquirement and construction. Douglas county has been asked for no assistance other than opening the road way necessary to complete the .land exchange. Plans Near Completion It is to be hoped that county and city officials can reach an agreement on this matter and soon. Plans for-runway extension, drainage and surfacing will be complete within about three weeks. Engineer Ben Irving, employed by the city to prepare the plans, has been working closely with the Civil Aeronautics administration. Consequently, the time required in securing CAA approval Bhould be reduced to a bare minimum. While formal ap proval is being obtained, it is proposed to proceed wjth the call for bids, thus expediting start of construction. It will be unfortunate indeed if failure of the county and city to reach a cooperative agreement is permitted to delay this very important project.

Then In Ihe warfare that was sprung so suddenly on us in Korea it had begun to appear that the air strength by which we had set so much store was more or less val ueless. We've had complete com mand of (he air. The enemy has had no planes (o bother us. BUT SO FAR HE HAS BEEN LICKING THE SOCKS OFF US. For Asiatic fighting, the enemy's superiority in foot-soldiers and tanks and artillery has been vastly more important than our superior ity in planes.

It would be Tun; I .thought, to put the shoe on the other foot of a librarian. To be sure, when she had borrowed the books I had said, "Oh just keep them till I'm in Roseburg. I'll pick them up." However the only time I've been in Roseburg since then, I didn't do it. But I skipped that, and seizing pen I began with the fam iliar routine words: "I regret to inform you that the books. . . .are now overdue." I then sat back and awaited developments, expect ing a package with a few wit v words since the writer thereof would be Muriel Mjtchcll. Yesterday who should come up the path to our door but the Rose burg librarian, accompanied by her mother, and cousin, Mrs. Morely, laden with a package and a huge bouquet of garden flowers and herbs. Oh the fragrance of the herbs! The beauty of (hose velvety crimson zinnias! And the friendly smiles of the bearers! So in the presence of "wit nesses the librarian returned the . books. Then to make the moment memorable for me she insisted upon "paying a fine": said "fine was a delightful little volume, a personal gift, on the flyleaf of wnicn such pleasant inspiring words were writen that 1 could only rejoice thot my attempt at a joke on a librarian har been such a success even if I, instead of the lib rarian seemed to be on the receiv ing end.

"Mrs. Morely said some (hing about 'a skunk (hat was in Ihe Mending Basket that was so funny' " 1 remarked, "but she must have read it in something else. I never write about skunks or snakes in the column because so many people regard Ihem as such unpleasant things." E. J. looked at me in the way a husband looks when he doesn't say it. Then he asked: "What do you mean never write about skunks and snakes? How about the skunk that lived under the house for a couple of weeks? And Attempted Auto Theft Charged To Teen-Agers Two tern-age youngsters, caught in the act by city police, were lodged in the juvenile ward early this morning and charged with at tempted aulo theft, Police Chief Calvin II.

Investigating officers said ac cess to the locked car was made by breaking a window and that by the time police arrived, t h e two youths had completed wiring around the ignition. Baird said the owner of the car was aroused at about 3:30 a. m. by the sound of breaking glass and witnessed the entire proceedings, along with other oc cupants of the house in which he was staying.

I SH0W U.S. Reserves In Korea Affecting Morale In France BY PRESTON OROVER PARIS (JP) American of. ficials in France are pressing Washington for a solid promise of aid to Europe in the form of U.S. troops to build up badly sag ging West European spirits. Their proposals are doubled-bar-relled- One The United States should deliver at once, or promise to deliver quickly, at least five more divisions on European soil. Two A commander, preferably American, should be appointed to unify present undirected efforts at rearmament. The same officials believe Brit ain also should agree, now, to send five more of its own divi sions to Germany or northern France. The crisis in Korea has brought the American position in France to a low point. The first blush of gratificaUon at American inter vention in Korea has been suc ceeded by a wave of dismay at U.S. reverses. The French long have expected the strength of American arms especially the atom bomb to give them time to get well from the last war, and to rearm. Americans newly-arrived on this side of ' the Atlantic report that the defeats in Korea have hard ened American determination to re-arm and, if necessary, to be ready for a showdown with Russia. "Will To Fight Lackip; There has been no such reaction in France. Top French govern ment officials are facing the prob lem to a degree that generally is(pleasing to American observers. But a sampling of sentiment among the French population, brings no such responses. The lack of a "Will to fight," such as resulted in the French collapse of 1940, is in evidence again. Many Frenchmen solmnly weigh these alternatives: Would another war be worse than simply to sit down and wait to be occupied by the Russians? Or would it be better to try to take a neutral course in the hope that Russia would not march into France? It staggers Americans to hear Frenchmen they have known for a long time seriously weigh such considerations. It is even more staggering to hear so many Frenchmen give answers which, to Americans, sound like capitulation. The phil osophy of "sit and wait" is wide spread in Franch. The French appear to have lost confidence in aerial bombardment even with the atom bomb as a means of stopping ground forces. The Korean experiences have helped bring that, and the French continue to remember how long it took the United States to get into the last two wars.
