CJ.it oviai IP city -In The Day's News- HARD SELL e By FRANK JENKINS 4 The News-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Problems Of Smaller City Airports A most interesting discussion of the airport problem of the smaller city is contained in a booklet issued recently by the Air Transport Association. The association which .embraces the various service airlines of the country airliafes serving the smaller communities "and Acting as feeders contends that one of try" major handicaps to growth is the failure of federal agencies to furnish nav igational aids, which would allow, flights in nSarginal weather. ' Furthermore," it is held, federal regu- latioffii governing flights in and out of smaller airports are .much- too rigid. A change in minimum ; standards is pro posect ' .,' . ' Thjfe .Rosjeburg area presently, is threat ened vith discontinuance of 'air service. ' It is feared that Roseburg will be erased entirely- frdm West Coast Airlines scried-'.' ules $r,hen the DC3, with which service now is conducted, is taken out of service in favor of the F27's, the turbo-jet plane to wfu'ch WCA is turning as rapidly as possible. Only one other airfield in Oregon has higher flight standards than Roseburg, according to the list prepared by Air Transport Association. Landing at Baker requires a 1700-foot ceiling. However, vis- . ibilitytis limited to only one mile. Rose burg's minimum ceiling is 1400 feet, but the visibility requirement is two miles. Air" Transport Association contends that the minimum standards for the Roseburg airport could safely be reduced to lljO-foot iceiling and one mile visibil ity, given ' proper navigational aids.' - . Cancellation or overflights of the Rose- burg airport last October were 23.65 per cent,J8.88 per. cent in November, 34.41 ' per cent in December,, 25.81 per cent in ,. January and, 13.39 per. cent in February, the association reports. .- . . ;. WHIle many factors must' be considered in a Jetevmination Of the reason for can cellation .and overflights', estimates of Air Transport Association would lead to: the inclusion that Roseburg would' have had at least 25 per cent more flights had the geld been given the suggested navi gational aids and . had minimums been' reduEed to' the proposed standards. T&6 analysis made of the problem con cerning smaller airports is indeed inter estirjg. It shows quite conclusively that ' i. k.!ni r-nnlH he ereneratcd ' for the service lines if available in tiu mentation could be given the smaller fields. It fails to take into consideration, how ever, the factor chiefly threatening Rose burg. - . It mentions that installation of naviga tional aids hasn't kept pace with the de velopment of airports and travel de mands, but the problem in Roseburg is that our facility isn't adequate for the tvpe of plane West Coast Airlines is put ting in service. At least the facility will not meet demands the Federal Aviation Authority places upon airports used for turbo-jet landings and takeoffs. Whether different standards would make use of these planes safe and practical is anoth-.,- er matter. . 1 --: The fact remains that West Coast Air lines, which started out in a small way, , is growing vastly bigger in the area it serves. Thus it needs faster planes. The need can't be disputed. Roseburg is a borderline station. It barely comes with in the "use-it-or-lose-it" formula. Perhaps we're only suspicious, but the Southern Pacific company deliberately killed off the passenger train service for Southern Oregon by making the service so lousy no one would use it. Then it se cured permission to discontinue passen ger trains by showing that no one was rid ing the trains. Now we hear complaints that the same , policy is being applied by service air lines to the borderline stations. The Roseburg stop was an important factor to West Coast Airlines when WCA was trying to get federal approval for or ganization. But now WCA has outgrown ' the. limited local service it was designed to render. It has grown so big it no long ermust cater to the needs of the small units making up its flight map. In other words, Roseburg probably is more of a financial handicap than an asset and can well be eliminated. One way to eliminate , it is to make the schedule so unsatisfac tory that we'll drop below the need for ' mu'la, Another way is to make the min ", jnuim standards so severe we can't meet the requirements. ' In ' either case prospects aren't too bright. In New York the other day, a Spanish-speaking woman who holds U.S. citizenship through birth in Puerto Rico began a court suit against the New York state law requiring an ENGLISH ' literacy test as a requirement to vote. She is a citizen of the United States by birth. She has lived in New York since 1948. She says in her suit that as a reader of Span ish language newspapers and pe riodicals her understanding of gov ernment and politics is at least equal to that of the average New York adult. But because she can't pass an ENGLISH literacy test she can't vote. She asks the New York su preme court to direct the New York board of elections either to register her as a qualified voter 3n m or to provide a literacy test in SPANISH. Hmmmmmm. Let's do some supposing. Mrs. Cardona alleges in her suit that as a reader of New York Spanish language newspapers and periodi cals her understanding of govern ment and politics is at least equal to that of the average New York adult. Let's suppose she has read in Spanish in which, of course it is available the great literature of the world. uud So let's compare her with a New Yorker who READS ENGLISH and so is able to keep up with all the dirt and the scandal and the fluff that make up so much of our modern day-to-day reading es-". pecially in our modern megalopo- uses, such as new ioik.. , ' : uucsuon: . .- iiruinl. . k..i A ,n ttiuiu la uesi cuiyiJvu lu vuic.

AncHiot long after that a phy sician! friend of mine told me that lot of a doctor's time is lakcnj up with cases "that any good quack could handle." , Puttong two and two together, which 1 can do with the aid of an electronic ' computer, I almost madca dreadful mistake. I was on tire verge of proposing that the Uiitcd States adopt a system of licensed quackery. It was my idea that hypochon driac malingerers, cry-babies and others with psychosomatic or imjinsequcnlial ailments would go fou. treatment to their friend ly neighborhood quack. Relieve Shortage Tliis would leave the real M.D,' free to treat actual ill nesses thus greatly relieving if not eliminating the doctor short 1 age. Tlip-tilan looked good at first, but I ian see now that it wouldn't work.? What opened my eyes to the fatal flaw was an exhibit of quack medical devices that the Food . and Drug Administration (I'UAJ has put on display here. II ia obvious from this exhibit that flic quacks wouldn't be sat isfied awith treating imaginary or pieaytjie maladies, as I had' en visioned. yuatks may' he crooked, but tncy mink big. One; of the devices in the dis play s called a "sonus film-o- sonic; It was supposed to cure various illnesses by translating music into ciectnc impulses.

WOlBLEDON, England (UPI) Baker Thomas Walters was fined ;S2S (10 pounds) Wednesday for silling bread that was not up to standard. A Jvoman testified she ate a slice of Walters' bread and found a glajs thermometer in it, measuring electric current given off by the body. FDA investigators became sus picious when tliey attached tne machine to a corpse and it regis tered "healthy." A somewhat similar machine, the "oscilloclast." was exposed when agents gave it a drop of red ink to analyze. Back came a diagnosis of "systematic toxemia contributing to lowered vitality and anemic tendencies." So now I know what is wrong with me. I'm a victim of "tired ink." Area Churches Slate Guest Soloist Sunday Mrs. II. James Jenkins of Port land, wife of the former pastor of the Roseburg First Methodist Church, will return to the area to serve as guest soloist Sunday morning at both the Tenmile and Camas Valley Methodist churches. She will sing at 9:30 a.m. serv ices at the Tenmile church and at 11 a.m. at Camas Valley. The Rev. J. Thomas Dixon, who pastors both churches, invites the public to at tend. His sermon topic for both services will be "Spiritual Observation." ESCAPE TRY FAILS MANSOURA, U. A. H.

South Hoisted by Own False-Card (Written For NEA) By OSWALD JACOBY If' ' wit Kefauver A Tough By ROBERT C. RUARK Poor old Keef was what we used to call a crap-out guy. He was a man who would be lung but couldn t make it in the prince league. He looked like a backwoods preacher when that is exactly what he wasn't he and 1 once spent a night in Madrid that still makes my temples throb but his mouth was shaped wrong for seriousness.

'Keef Was Opportunist Kefauver was an opportunist, to be sure, and you could be certain to find him in the handiest cor ner against crime, the protection of motherhood, or the evils of the narcotics trade. When boxing which has stunk since it started leaped into the news with a cou ple of deaths in the ring, it .was nobody else but old Keef who kick ed off a committee to discover that sometimes the sport wasn't honest.

Fought aanie He had the classic beginnings one-room school house, poor-but-honest parents, winding up with a law degree at Yale. He was a 10-year Congressman before he took on the Crump outfit and beat it to its knees, and he was a very good Senator. Mrs. Kefauver, the attractive Nancy, was a , braw Scots lassie with nobility close aboard, and she made a very charming asset in the political arena. He had a nice fam ily three girls and an adopted boy and I know he was backed big with money after his 1950 in vestigations on crime gave Frank Costello the best known pair of hands since Herr Durer etched the prayerful mitts. He also made Vir ginia Hill a byword in the back rooms. But he began to miss at the end and pulled up very lame at the finish. Like Dewey, like Steven son, like Stassen, Like Nixon, he had been to the well too often, and in politics nothing's as unsalable as a familiar face it's a losing face.

Chief of Police L. S. Ketch to day checked up on the licenses of tourists cars stopping in the city or passing through. Between 8 this morning and noon, he checked li censes from 21 different states. ! 25 YEARS AGO Aug. 17, 1938 In Portland the other day, rules' for the use of the Rogue River trail betweer Almeda Bridge and Marial, a distance of 26 miles, were announced. The decision was made by Bureau of Land Manage ment Director Russell E. Getty after a hearing and a conference of interested federal and state agency people. It restricts use of the trail for these 26 miles to hikers. Horses, other trail stock and MOTORIZED WHEELED EQUIP MENT, including motorcycles of all types, will be barred. One rea son for barring horses is that for a&3 is rather scarce in that area, thus necessitating the carrying of grain for the saddle and pack animals. The reason, presumably, for the barring of "motorized wheeled equipment" is that the region will Location ol a lossilizect torest, be set apart as a wilderness area, young in the mid-Miocene epoch when three-toed horses, rhinoceros es, and ancestral camels roamed the Oregon marshes, was reported by Dr. H.

Representatives of grocery stores and of the clerks union had petitioned the OLCC to relax its rule and permit those between the age of 18 and 21 to ring up sales of beer and wine oh cash regis ters. Tliey said the rule made it dif ficult for many of that age to get jobs. Chairman Hugh Kirkpatrick of the OLCC said that "...over the icars various commissions have not felt it would be in the public interest to relax the restrictions. Sales to minors arc the most pre valent violations of the liquor laws and permitting minors to sell beer and wine would undoubtedly lead to more such violations." The OLCC, in other action, said it would reconsider issuing a short time dispensing license to the City of Roses Open, inc.. which is ; bringing a pi tournament lo 22.

The moon is approaching its new phase. , The morning stars are Jupiter and Satsrn. The evening stars are Mars and Saturn. Those born today include In dian Fighter Davy Crockett, in 1786. On this day in history: In 1790, the federal capital was moved from New York City to Philadelphia. In 1807, Robert Fulton's steam boat, the Clermont, made its first trip up the Hudson River. In 1915, a hurricane hit Galves ton, Tex., and killed 275 persons. In 1933, Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees set a record when he played his 1,308 consecutive game. A thought for the day Charles Dickens said: "Keep up appear ances whatever you do." All of this, of course, brings sad memories to those who can re member the dear departed days when a wilderness was a wilder ness and a trail was a trail, to be negotiated solely by back-packers and saddle and pack outfits. In those great days the wilder ness trails were busy places. But no more. One can go for days on the mountain trails, including the munnifippnt Sk-vlinp Trail, jinri npv. train. .
