Accidents, bid weather and labor troubles have beset "the greatest show on earth" ever since it left its winter quarters In Florida, weeks ago, but even without these factors it appears that Monday's closure at Pittsburgh was inevitable in time. ' In announcing the folding of the Barnura & Bailey and Ringling Bros., Board Chairman John Ringling North said: The tented circus'" at it now exists is, in my opinion, a thing of the past." Contemplated is "an almost com pletely mechanically controlled exhibition." It seems evident that an end of an era has been reached, an era reaching back through the Gay 90s and covering more than seven decades of a burgeoning economy which have seen the movie theater challenge the stage and television overshadow both, gasoline beat back the borse on road and farm, wings out draw and outspeed the Iron Horse. Two other circuses shut down earlier this year. First, the Clyde Beatty circus, last of the big animal and stunt shows to travel by rail and frequent visitor to Salem, announced it was suspending. Then the King Brothers circus, a few weeks later, closed down in New -England, " New entertainment mediums have been cutting into circus receipts for many yean: communities no longer are so isolated that the circus arrival is a major event; the huck ster's chant hasn't the draw it had before such became commonplace via the ether waves; colorful parades were swept away long ago be- . fore the surge of modern traffic on city streets; open spaces for the acres of Big Top became scarcer and scarcer in proximity to patrons; costs have gone up and up and up. Maybe we shouldn't count tha circus out J-et. But apparently it is going down for a ong count There are many among us who will admit to sharp nostalgia for the fun and gaiety and childish shrieks its clowns, ani mals and other marvels brought forth. lNTew Fisheries Director Mike Hoy, for 33 years on the staff of the State Fish Commission, and its director since 1S54 when Arnle Suomela left to Join the U. S. Fish and Wild Life Service, has been replaced by Milton C. James, who is presently resident coordinator in Portland for the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission. Hoy will remain in the employ of the commission, duties not Ini tially stated. The new appointee seems to be qualified for the directorship, judging by his varied experience which began in a state fish hatchery in Maine in 1915. followed by work as aquatic biologist with the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries and later as chief of the division of fish culture and assistant director of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. t The state directorship is a responsible one, covering administration of several fish hatch eries and enforcement of laws dealing with commercial fishing. Trying to keep up the salmon runs in the face of power dams, fish ing regattas and competition from sports fish ermen and tackle-sellers must be Quite a chore. The motorist's "roof of the world" so far as continental United States is concerned is the road on ML Evans, Colo., which goes to 14,260 feet 150 higher than Pike's Peak. ' Such sta tistics would seem to dwarf our 11,000-foot Cascades until one remembers hat Colora do's mountains start out from mile-high ter rain, not sea level Some Must Wait for Road So much publicity has been given to the big federal largess for road building that var ious communities now hope to get their pot projects on the list for early construction. Spokesmen for some of them appeared at the meeting of the state highway commission last week. They learned that, while Oregon is to get a big chunk of federal money, most of it is to go on the interstate system of which only Highways 30 and 99 in Oregon are parts. There will be some more money for other primary highways and for secondary roads and for urban street work, but not in huge amounts. The sums to be received also are spread over a 13-year period. Some state money now can be shifted from the two in terstate to other highways. With a firm knowledge now of revenues to be available from federal sources the high-' way department will proceed to set up a.new five-year plan covering all of the state sys tem. A good many projects already have been approved and will be put under call for bids promptly. Others will await the necessary ap proval and planning. It will not be long be- fore the accelerated spending will be felt; but even with all the money in sight not all the worthy projects can be authorized in the near future for lack of funds. There still will be a queue of applicants for road improvements when the federsl grants are all allocated. And highway demands will continue to increase because of growth in population and in num. . ber of motor vehicles. With the main highways being modernized the principal need is going to be in the cities. . There is where the congestion is greatest, and there is where the costs are greatest. Large sums are going to be spent in Portland for example to expedite traffic flow. This is a task calling for the wise blend of engineer ing, economics and prophecy. In the Salem area, since Highway 99 mod erniiatlon from Portland through to Salem is nearing completion, the principal expendi ture will be on the route south for reloca tion of 99 to bypass Albany and Eugene. The additional funds will permit earlier comple tion of the coast cutoff and the Santiam high way between Salem and Mehama. It is disappointing to sponsors of road im provements to have their hopes further de ferred. But if they look back over the span of 40 years (if their memories run that far back) they will realize what great Improve ments have been made in roads all over the state. Our present system is so far in advance of the mud (or dust) or gravel of the old roads (or their non-existence in many places) that one is reconciled to wait a little while longer , for bringing other roads to improved stand ards. Editorial Comment BUBBLE OF FEAR DEFLATED For some weeks Americans have been subjected to a campaign of tear to make them believe that United States air power was in danger of (ailing behind the Soviet's. Whether for selfish or patriotic - reasons, this drive has presented a distorted pic ture designed especially to get more money (or . big bombers. It succeeded to the extent that Con gress added nearly a billion dollars to the defense budget for that purpose. ' ' This wa done not on the basis of exact knowl edge but of estimates as to the amount of bomber construction in Russia. It was done against the advice of the President and the Defense Depart ment. It was done without taking into consideration the quality of American air power or its total amount In the light of General Twining's report on his Moscow visit, this drive and the response of Congress to it appear strange Indeed. The chief of the Air Force says "we have got to keep working," but that today the United States is ahead and he sees no reason why it should not stay ahead. We do not see how the general could obtain any firm figure on the numbers of Soviet aircraft. Indeed, we believe the whole numbers game Is a matter of guessing. But he and the experts accompanying him had an opportunity to judge quality, and they report curious highs and lows. On the whole, the Air Force chief is con vinced the United States is ahead in quality. This Is not a subject on which any thoughtful person wishes to be complacent. Air power looks like the chief military deterrent of war and it must be kept up to the mark. But defense 'planning cannot be soundly based on bubbles of fear. It may now go forward on a firmer foundation be cause some air has now been let out of this one. (Christian Science Monitor).

Sharp manpower cuts would not necessarily shock overseas allies, even if they involved with drawal or "thinning out" of five American divisions now in West ern Europe.

The powers that be In the ad ministration have been horrified by the site ef these unwelcome birds. For example, in order to maintain the agreed-upon force levels for the air force (which many air officers, like Gen. Curtis LeMay, consider already grossly inadequate) it wilt be necessary to up air force spend ing a cool 86 billion in the next fiscal year.
