FEDERAL AVIATION GAS TAX
' The national airports plan developed by the civil aero
nautics administration is patterned after the federal aid high
way program. Under the plan federal funds are to be made
available for airport construction in each state that provides
an equal amount. Thus, in Oregon where the estimated cost of
new airports ana ot improvements 10 existing airpunn
$6,579,000 the state would be expected to supply half of that
sum, or ?a,iJa9,oUO.
There is, however, one important difference between the
highway program and that proposed tor airport development
In the bill that has been introduced in congress. The highway
act places no restrictions on the manner in which the state
trinv raise its funds for cooperation. The airport measure
would deny aid to any state that levied a tax on gasoline.
All states, of course, have a tax on gas used on the roads
and this provides the chief source of revenue for cooperative
highway construction. For over 10 years there has been a
federal gas tax, as well, which with other federal levies related
to the motor vehicle has more than supplied the funds used in
federal highway aid.
The tax on gasoline used for highway travel is often
spoken of as one of the fairest that is levied since those who
pay it receive the benefit from its expenditure. Why such tax
is forbidden on aviation gasoline is difficult to understand.
Given revenue from this source states would be better able to
do their nart in airport development, under the federal aid
plan. Without it they must rely on other tax sources and there
might well be objection by those on wnom tne burden ten.
All these things being so it is interesting to note that Sena
tor Josiah W- Bailey, of North Carolina, has proposed a
federal tax on aviation gasoline and air transportation to
amortize the cost of the federal airport aid bill. If the sena
tor's proposal is accepted the prohibition against an aviation
gas tax by the states that wish to participate should be re
moved. 1 hat will be a step toward acceptance of the program.
The Coos Bay Times notes the big name contributions to
Republican party funds in the last election and says "Against
such largess for republicans, Mr. Dewey's charges that his
horrible opponent was buying the government by accepting a
few hundred donations of $1,000 from businessmen, ring very
funny and very false." The Times forgets the flat statement
made to the nominees to the $1,000 club that their contribu
tions would give them special privileges. Dewey made no
efforts to buy the election with club memberships or cabinet
posts. - . ' :'

Washington
Column
By Peter Ed son
(NEA Staff Correspondent)
Washington, D. C. A .really
critical situation in heavy-duty
rubber tires and tubes is made
doubly, bad by a manpower prob
lem piled on top of inadequate
manufacturing facilities.
Its elements include a 100 per
cent Industrial expansion over pre
war levels, a shortage of skilled
workers which has necessitated
furloughing men already drafted
for the armed services, a wage
controversy that is long-standing,
and management charges that la
bor is producing at only about 80
per cent efficiency. .
Take these factors one at a
time.
In 1939 average factory employ
ment In tire and tube production
was 4,000. It rose steadily to 94,
200 in January 1944, dropped off
to 93.Q00 by December, but in
January of this year was 95,300.
This includes 1500 ex-tire workers
furloughed from the army for 90
days to help meet production
schedules. The furloughs may
have to be extended, one experi
enced tire worker being worth a
dozen green hands.
There was an additional demand
for three-shift operation of all the
"within existing walls" tire-making
machinery. Over half of'these
4000 have been recruited. (Jn top
of this will come a demand for
6000 men and 2000 women to man
the new tire-making facilities or
dered built by the war production
board within the next three
months. These new factories will
not be in production until 1946.
The wage issue is tough. In
May, 1943, the war labor board
granted Little Steel formula in
crease of 3 cents an hour, though
8 cents an hour had been asked.
There was a short strike In pro
test. But then the United Rubber
Workers, CIO, came in with new
demands for 17 cents an hour in
crease in base fates. There was a
preliminary hearing on. this de
mand before the war labor board
March 5, but labor and manage
ment representatives were both
sent back to prepare briefs which
were presented March 20, hear
ings going on from there.
Management charges that labor
isn't producing all it could as the
result of an old feud. In the days
before industry was organized, la
bor charges that management in
dulged in a program of cutting
piece work pay rates every time a
workman got efficient and found
ways to increase his production.
It is difficult to unsell labor on
the idea that management will not
do the same thing again if it has
the chance.
Last December an agreement
was made to freeze the theoretical

The Ledges, the Hudsons' sum

colonial austerity on the finest
stretch of shore north of Boston.
I had never been especially taken
by the austerity of the place, but
it had, pleasant associations for
me and the scenery was magnificent.
It was dark when' I reached

the war they had served delicious

urgent as a whole day had gone
by with nobody killed. So I
stopped and had my steak.

She was on her way out as I

while her father paid the check.
At first I thought she was not go

at me and through me with those
remarkable eyes of hers. I was
on the point ot going by, when
she said coolly:

"Eating," 1 said. "It's a vice of

"I read about you In the pa

I looked at Bruce Temple. He
was a great ick of a man with
a face like "hipped flint. Ho
scarcely glanced at me.
"Can't say I hat I tin," he said.
"Come, Brenda."
And Brenda came. They walked
out and left me standing there.
They bad acted strangely and the
two of them lurked in my mind
for the better part ot an hour un
til I had more pressing matters
to think of.

I drove down the Sandy Point
road on as dark a night as a
man could wish for. When I got
to the gates of The lodges, I got
out and fished in my pocket for
the key to the padlock that held
the massive wooden barrier. A
light mist had begun to fall and
it beat against my face like tiny
needles ot cracked ice. The gale
groaned dismally as I swung it
open.
By the time I had fumbled for
minutes in the cold among a
dozen keys to a'dozen doors, the
I whole idea of vegetating for a

impressively nonsensical. The
only thing that kept me from go

that someone would think that I
was afraid of the dark -which I
was at that particular moment.
Finally I got the door open and
heard another sound. It stopped
me. A low short rumble. For a
single instant I could not identify
it. Then 1 had it. Thunder. End

noise like a quick intake of
