CAA Man Explains

000 and that much of it is yet
unpaid for.
' O'Hara moved that the resolu
tion be referred to a committee
for study,"but subsequently with
drew it after J. H. Keeffe, rep
resentative of the CAA, assured
him that the resolution did not
obligate the city.
O'Hara's opposition . resulted in
a heated discussion between
O'Hara and Alderman Lloyd Rig
don, chairman of the airport com
mittee, during - which Rlgdon
asked, "Do you realise this Is a
part of a national defense pro
gram?". The incinerator question' also
caused Alderman C. F. French to
pull out a sheaf of statistics on
costs of .garbage collection in
western cities,' which he waded
through until Mayor . Chad wick
pointed out that the statistics
had little bearing on the airport
resolution. - '
f Keeffe told the. council that
Salem's ; airport was one of 3
fields in the northwest named by
the army for jposslble Improve
ment ,;nnder a $40,000,000 de
fense appropriation. He said that
about $200,000 will be spent
here If the project goes through.
Prompt action is necessary, he
said, .because the money avail
able must be spent or obligated
before July 1.
Improvements contemplated
here would include changing of
runways to accommodate larger
and heavier planes and to make
the "glide angle" into the field
lower " to meet army regulations.
Runways would be paved with
heavy concrete to stand the land
. ing force of heavy army bombers.
CAA Would Maintain
Lights and Beams
Additional field lights would be
installed and the CAA would
lease and maintain light and ra
dio beam approaches.
Power and telephone lines ad
joining would be rerouted , or
placed underground. Cooperation
of the telephone and power com
panies in this is already assured.
The city would not have to
acquire more than 30 acres of
new land., Keeffe said, and that
and removal of the incinerator
would be its major expenses in
the program.
Keeffe will Immediately begin
preparing estimates for submis
sion to the army. Contracts for
the work, which Keefe said will
be completed regardless whether
"Hitler decides to quit fighting."
will be let directly from the
estimate.

Blitzkrieg Has
itsl)rawbaclcs
Machine Ineffective on
Bind, Mountains, Sand .
or Sea, Discovery
By KIRKE L. 8IMPSON
(By The Associated Press) v
: Italy Is learning to her cost In
Greece, as ; Russia discovered In
Finland and Germany found out
at the English channel, that mech
anised warfare has definite lim
itations. -,.--'.:.--'
; "BliUkrieg" methods and battle
equipment demand a favorable
terrain" to- achieve their devasta
ting end. Against wide waters,
tortuous " mountain - barriers or
shifting desert sands, rumbling
tank legions loos much of their
menace. War reverts to the age
old business of man-to-man fight
ing. Greek valor has held Italy's
mechanised power at bay for eight
days In the rugged mountains of
the Greek-Albanian frontier.
Fascist failure to achieve In that
time a 'lightning rhythm'.' of at
tack Is ascribed by Italian com
mentators to bad weather, lack of
roads and Greek resistance.
Roads Are Primitive
Lack of roads in the Eplrus sec
tor probably is the major military
factor In holding up the Italian
push. Mule trails are the normal
means of communication on that
front and Ioannina (Janina), the
first Italian major objective ' la
Eplrus, Is surrounded by. a ter
rain so wild and rugged that the
Greek poet. Homer, depicted the
region as not only the "bad lands'
of Greece, but as the probable site
of Hades. In the 2,000 yeara since
Homer's time neither highways
nor railroads have substantially
improved the terrain for blitx
krieg military use.
The grim fight being made by
the Greek mountain troops where
they are familiar with every Inch
of the ground, however, haa much
to do with Italian ill success. It
does not seem possible that the
Greeks can, even with British air
force help, definitely halt the Ital
ian drive in view of the numeri
cal and. equipment odds against.
Tet they have already balked the
fascist thrust long enough for the
British to establish themselves
firmly on the Island of Crete.
Aid Will Be Rapid
It took Russia from November
20. 12. to March 12. 1240, to
break Finnish resistance on the
Karelian isthmus. If the Greeks
can hold fer only a fraction of
that time, it will afford Britain
opportunity to set up naval air
bases in southern Greece, thus
extending British control of the
Eastern Mediterranean and mak
ing the atatua of the Italian army
in Egypt doubtful.
Successful Greek resistance
may explain the reported trip by
Mussolini's No. 1 aide, Italian
Foreign Minister Clano. to Ber
lin. -There is at least a possibility
that he la seeking nasi aid, mili
tary or diplomatic, to crack down
not only in Greece, nut also on
other Balkan states as yet unln
Tolved. Berlin spokesmen very prompt
ly dismissed as "made in Eng
land" . widespread reports that
Hitler waa preparing another
"peace offensive." It seems prob
able, however, that some Hitler
gesture was discussed in his re
cent conference with Mussolini In
Florence and that the circum
stances of the slowed-down If not
bogged-down Italian attack In
Greece have necessitated a change
of plan.
