THE RSGISTER.GUArtD, EUGENE, OBFGOM Page Two. Will Be Drawn (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) delivered to the field to complete all installations now on order, but come delay Is anticipated in getting the electric cable (insula ated wire) which goes into the conduits. Latest word is that ca ble en route to Eugene have been siezed and re-routed for other places and that Eugens's priority date has been moved to January. Contractors Optlmlstle However, the contractors are optimistic that cable can be had before January u it is neeaea, and they are making all haste with other parts of their work. The North-South and the twa di agonal runways, a SO-foot strip in the East-West runway and most of the taxiways have been cov ered with 10 inches of drainage gravel and on the North-South runway, the graders have nearly 'completed the work of topping 'and smoothing the grade with the fine rock upon which the oil will ; be laid. i The new south taxlway to the site for the United Airlines build ing has been graded and the ad jacent land is being levelled to 'proper grade, despite the fre iquent showers. The city council, after going :over the proposed contract with lUnited's representatives, directed and authorized Mayor Large and City Attorney S. M. Calkins to put the papers in final form. ' They will work out a scale of 'rentals which United will pay for the use of the field and a plan ; of amortization by which the , building will eventually become 'the city's property. The contract lis similar to those in other cities, i. Mr. Hancock said United was Imuch interested in an offer of ,H. J. Cox, manager of the Wil lamette Valley Lumberman's As- soeiation to work with the archl itects on the selection of certain 'materials which can be used to demonstrate the uses of wood pro- ducts and the importance of the J forests and forest industries in i this, community. i - "You can be sure we will plan J a building which will be worthy of Eugene and Lane county," 'said Mr. Hancock. He suggested 1 that some scheme of ornamenta i tloB and symbolism might be fol lowed out similar to the work in i the new Columbia-Portland air port buildings. i Attack Ranks As Greatest ! Yet Launched (CONTINUED FROM PAGE IV ' weight of the nazi attack. An uncertain situation was i building up in Bulgaria. Dls- ' WIMWB UVIU OUUS VWVIIAU1J BMW i jected to heavy censorship, hinted i that Bulgarian authorities are J meeting with difficulty in their i policy of intimate collaboration 1 with Germany due to widespread ', pro-Russian sympathies of the i Slavophile populace. ) A dispatch from the United i Press correspondent of Sofia said 'a midnight curfew had been im- posed because of "the situation" i but did not state what the "situa tion" was. The British radio said a state of emergency or martial i law had been decreed and that Premier Gogdan 'Filov had reaf , firmed support of the axis. Other reports from Sofia sug gested that Bulgarian military precautions were being taken to 'deal with the uncertain internal 'situation and hinted of widespread sympathy among Bulgarian youth for the Russian cause. More Trouble in France There was additional trouble be hind the German lines in France where the task of the nazi military command in coping with anti-nazi outbreaks seemed to be growing more difficult. A drastic German curfew was imposed on Paris Saturday, the first of three days of punishment for the city. So severe was the curfew and so drastic the punish ment in prospect for violators that many French left the capital city and prepared to spend the week end in country to escape possible violation of the regulations. ' Violators are to be Jailed and held as hostages for the German firing squads which have now exe cuted nearly 40 French citizens in reprisal for attacks on nazi sol diers. Twelve more French were hot today by the Germans. And the French were warned that the ratio of 10 French executions for each German death will be boost ed if the attacks do not cease. The French themselves sentenc ed three of their countrymen to death for alleged anu-nazt acts, Shark Liver Cargo Brought To Tillamook TILLAMOOK, Ore., Sept. 20 OP) A Seattle fishing boat, the Dora II, delivered the first shark liver cargo of the season here yesterday. Skipper Tom Chatterton de livered several hundred pounds of the soup fin variety which brought $2.50 per pound. Price for shark liver ranges from a few cents a pound for the dog fish variety to $4 per pound for the best soup fin along the Oregon coast. CAA Ruling Lauds Eugene (CONTINUED FBOM PAGE 1) schedules between Eugene and Medford. "The postal count, heretofore referred to, showed that a daily average of 1652 pieces of air mail, aggregating 34 pounds, was dispatched from Eugene, while 1103 pieces, or 23 pounds, were received. During the same period a daily average of zo,oo4 pieces of first class mail, totaling 430 pounds, was dispatched from Eu gene. No Additional Miles "As present flights on route No. 11 are conducted over Eugene, no additional flight mileage or flying cost would be involved in the proposed stop. ... "The record shows that no ad ditional field and lighting or radio facilitites would be required in connection with the inauguration of service to Eugene. However, the record also shows that in the event that a stop at the city is authorized a new airport is to be provided, in which event, a re location of the radio range and teletype station may be neces sary, requiring an expenditure of approximately $26,000. Such a re location would involve no change in the annual maintenance cost . . 'United's traffic estimates do not impress us as being unreason able: and on this basis it is clear that the additional revenues from the proposed stop will more than offset the additional costs which will be incurred by the carrier. No Cost Increase "As in the case of Salem, no cost to the government in the form of mail compensation would be involved in the stop at Eugene. The government expenditures in cident to the cost of relocating airway aids are contingent upon the establishment of a new. airport and it is clear that the annual cost of maintaining such facilities would not be increased. . . "While governmental expendi tures for airway aids would be' required in order to permit United to provide an unrestricted day and night operation, as we have here tofore pointed out In several opin ions, the installation of such faci lities would also benefit private and military filers. . . "Upon consideration of the fore going we find that the public convenience and necessity require the inclusion of Eugene as an intermediate point on route No. ll." i . U. S. Begins New Tax Paying Plan (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) low income groups r affected by th 'new levies, treasury ex perts estimated that as a Jesuit of the reduced personal exemptions 4,930,000 persons who previously have not filed Income returns will have to do so by next March. Many of these will not have to pay taxes, but the experts expect to get revenue from approximately 2, 279,000 persons previously exempt. 4 Per Cent Base The basic income tax remains fixed at 4 per cent. But surtaxes strike down at the "little fellow" applying at a 6 per cent rate on the first $2,000 of taxable income instead of the previous 4 per cent rate applicable after the first $4,000. Secretary of Treasury' Henry Morgenthau, Jr., has sought to establish a policy under which taxes would be designed to meet one third of the costs of the de fense program and government operation, with the additional two thirds of the cost being met by borrowing. The new tax bill does not quite meet that standard fiscal experts estimate that although total rev enues under the new schedules will jump to about $13,000,000,000, they still wiU be about $1,000, 000,000 short of Morgenthau's one-third goal. A Billion Short And despite the unprecedented revenue rate of $13,000,000,000, the treasury still expects to run a deficit of at least $8,000,000,000 at the end of the fiscal year. This anticipation is the explanation for plans for the tax bill to be drafted this winter a tax bill that may be so severe that every American citizen, rich or poor, will feel it Signature of the bill highlighted the president's day. The president kept his personal plans indefinite, but it was ex pected he would conclude his week-end visit here tomorrow and be back at the White House Mon day morning. Green Bean Pack Ending at EFG The green bean pack, the larg est single pack put up at the Eugene Fruit Growers association plant, is ending, final deliveries being made Saturday. A record pack was put up this year by the cannery, recognized as the largest individual packer of green beans in the world. Heavy deliveries of corn and beets continues at the cannery; operations on these crops to con tinue for another two weeks. Also, the cannery is working on a heavy run Of celery for juice. Filberts have been coming in the past week to the nut depart ment, more deliveries to come in during the coming week. The crop is heavy this year. Walnuts are starting in a small way, the main vplUmfeVof .the Lane county nuts to be dii in full swing in about two weeks. Shipping, continues in heavy volume from the plant.
