Figures prove that when murderers who are sane are paroled there is little likelihood of their com mitting the crime again." Skelton asserted that most civilized countries have abolish ed the death penalty and added, "It is now time for the State of Oregon to join this march of humanity toward morality and decency."

By PETE DOWNS Of the Bagltter-Guard COTTAGE GROVE Officials of the State Board of Aero nautics have initiated a public relations campaign in an ef fort to win over unhappy property owners on the site of Cot tage .Grove's proposed airport. Glenn Plymate, direotor of airports for the board, said Thursday, "We're just going to explain the facts of the air port to these property owners. All they've heard so far are threats. We need to give them the facts." Plymate and Robert Dunn, director of the state board, were in Cottage Grove Wednesday, but were able to see only one of the 13 property owners. Plymate Indicated that state officials will return to talk to the rest Plymate was highly critical of the way negotiations with the property owners have been handled so far. "Only three out of 13 property holders had been made of fers, and then this talk about condemnation was started. I sympathize with these people. It's very unfortunate that con demnation was brought In prematurely. "You're supposed to negotiate and make an offer first. Then if it's turned down the possibility of condemnation comes into the picture. "I see condemnation as only a remote possibility in this situation. I hope we don't have to do it," Plymate said. Before the state agreed to accept title to the property when it becomes clear, Cottage Grove's City Council had approved the use of condemnation if necessary. The approval came at the request of a real estate representative who had been hired to negotiate with property owners. The airport director added that the state board would not carry out negotiations. "The board usually accepts donations from local sources," be said. "It's their responsibility to ' acquire whatever land they can. Only after everything else fails would we consider con demnation. With the city no longer concerned, "local sources" would Indicate the Woodard Foundation, a charitable organization which has guaranteed about $31,000, the estimated value of the land. A federal appropriation of $48,000 is to pay for construc tion of the airport, but a master plan must be submitted by March 19. Otherwise the appropriation runs out Plymate indicated the March 15 deadline is more im portant than some people may think. 500 Strings Expected For Concert A 'Festival of Strings,' featur ing public school string players from Eugene and Springfield, will be held In McArthur Court Saturday.

"But the way the prop erty owners feel now, we don't want our people going out there. There's just too much bad feeling." Presumably the public relations campaign would make it possible for surveyors to continue their work. "Aeronautically this is a very good site. I don't think the people realire this. They've been understandably upset by this threat of condemnation. Wd have to get across to them, that condemnation is very remote," Plymate said.
