'State Official Objects to Threat
Condemnation for Grove Airport Remote
Students Honored
By Elks Lodge
Two students, one from North
Eugene High and the other from
Willamette High, were presented
with leadership awards by the
Eugene Elkt Lodge Wednesday
night
End Urged
To Capital
Punishment
The issue of capital punish
ment should once again be put
to Oregon voters and they
should vote to abolish it Eu
gene attorney Keith Skelton
said Tuesday.
Skelton co-sponsored a meas
ure to abolish capital punish
ment when be was a member
of the 1057 State Legislature.
The measure was referred to
voters and was defeated.
Speaking to the Women's
League of First Congregational
Church in Eugene, Skelton said,
"It has been established with
out question that in those nine
states and two territories of the
United States that have abolish
ed capiat punishment the num
ber of murders per capita is
less than in those states which
retain the penalty . . . 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."
Candace Newland, 17, a senior
at North Eugene, and Theron
James. 17, a senior at Willam
ette, received $100 savings bonds
in ceremonies at the lodge.
The two will now be eligible
for state awards in the Elks
Youth Leadership Program, to
be announced later this month.
State winners will receive $500
bonds.
Miss Newland, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. New-
land, 1177 Melvina Way, Eu
gene, is student body secretary
at North Eugene. She served as
secretary of state last summer
in the Girls' State program spon
sored by the American Legion
Auxiliary.
James, who is student body
president at Willamette, is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul A.
James, 4070 Wilhi St., Eugene.
An active 4-H member, James
has lettered in wrestling and
football and is secretary of Re
gion VI of the Oregon Assn. of
Student Councils.

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.

"We have more surveying to do out there before we can -i
complete the master plan," he said. "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.
Cottage Grove is the largest city in the state without an
airport The nearest air facility is located at Walker, five
miles north of Cottage Grove. '
