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.

) 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

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,

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."

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.
