In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I think we'll all agree that with in the past week General MacAr thur has done something wonder ful (or all of us. What is it? It seems to me that the amazing thin? General Mac has done tor us is to GIVE US BACK OUR FAITH IN OURSELVES AND IN OUR COUNTRY. How hat he done it? The answer to that is as simple as one plus one makes two. He has given ua leadership. I doubt if it's true that our people in Washington have led us in the wrong direction. THEY JUST HAVEN'T LED US AT ALL. With out leadership, a nation is help less and futile. That's the way I've felt ever since Korea broight the dangers that face us into sharp focus. Help less and futile. Like a child when (Continued on Page 4) Degenerates Resign Jobs In State Dept.

The original outlay was submit ted to the budget committee by the city council after it had worked long hour determining needed expenditures, for the 1!I51 52 fiscal year. Except for very minor alterations, salary adjust ments and provision for a street sweeper, the budget was almost idertical with that for the current year, the council has pointed out. The budget committee approved the budget with but one alteration, and that was to increase the allot ment for park equipment, which wan upped JAW to yam.

Nineteen were lo cated Wednesday after the crash. The four-engined transport, car rying 34 passengers and five crew men from Miami to Havana, and the navy plane, a twin-motored Beechcraft with four aboard, col lided with a noise like a bomb blast over Key West shortly be fore noon Wednesday. Then, in full view of hundreds of shocked sunhathers and resilient of the city, the airliner power-dived into the ocean at a speed esti mated by witnesses at 600 miles an hour. It landed a half-mile off shore, not far from President Tru man's "Little White House." The navy craft, disintegrating as it fell, crashed two miles west of the transport. Flying Weather Perfect A naval board of inquiry was set up in an effort to determine why the planes collided in perfect flying weather, with unlimited vis. ability. The airliner was on its course and flying at the prescribed 4.000 feet altitude. Ita route was over a dog-leg course from Miami over J Key. west, thew. south ti to Cuban, capital. The wrecking of the transport, operated by Compania Cubana De Aviacion, spoiled Latin Ameri ca's proudest airline safety record. It was the first accident on the Cuban line in more than 17 years. Capt. Javier Zayas Bazan, 51, pi lot of the wrecked airliner, had flown the Miami-Havana run hun dreds of times and had piloted about 40 transatlantic flights from Havana to Madrid. The crash also took the life of the line's chief pilot, Capt Orlando Salas, 37, who was aboard as an extra crewman. Western Dougias Access Roads Are B.L.M. Proposal Construction of access roads in the lower Smith river, Cherry creek. Middle creek and Paradise creek drainages in western Doug las county are proposed to make possible sales of timber in those areas in 1952. Ross A. Youngblood, district for ester for the Bureau of Land Man agement, reported the road con struction proposal at a recent meeting of the Coos Bay district advisor board. The board acted fa vorably on a change in the 1951 timber sale plan to make avail able for sale approximately 22 mil lion board feet of old growth tim ber in the upper Smith river drain age this year. The board recommended thst the Coos Bay district, through which Coos Bay and Oregon and California railroad grant lands in Coos and western Douglas counties are administered, consolidate iso lated tracts of public domain lands in Coos, Douglas and Curry coun ties through exchanges with state, county and private owners, to im prove administration. Classification studies to deter mine boundaries between forest and grazing lands in eastern Coos county were approved by the board.

Barring last-minute changes Mr. Truman is expected to ask for: 1. A one-year "freeze" on farm parity in a move to control food prices more effectively. 2. A general tightening and broadening of the rent control pro gram covering homes. Also, con trol of rents for stores and other commercial places for the first time. 3.

Authority for the government to construct defense plants in cases where 100 percent of the out put would go to the armed forces. "! where private industry was uniDie to ao ine joo. From some sources it learned the bill when still was on a tentative basis called for: Authority for the President to decontrol either prices or wage on a selective basis, without re gard to a provision in the present law which says wage and price curbs must be removed simultane ously in any given field; Power for the President to con trol commodity speculation; and Credit control on the purchase of existing housing instead of only new dwellings as at present. - Associated Press Chief In Prague Arrested FRANKFURT.
