iation Makes
Record Growth
In Current Year
By C'hurlcH Cordilry
(United 1'rwtM Aviation Writer)
Washington, Dec. 21 HI'' Amer
ican aviation shook off its post
war depression and climbed to
great new heights in 1948.
This was the year of the Berlin
airlift ... the year the transport
planes fed and warmed an entire
city in the cold war with Russia.
Air power bomber and trans
port alike proved itself an effec
tive instrument of foreign policy.
This was the year It was an
nounced officially that Capt.
Charles Yeager had flown lor
the first time in history faster
than sound in the X I rocket
plane.
It was the year that the official
world speed record was pushed
to 670.6 mph by Mai. Richard L.
Johnson In an F-86 jet fighter.
And in 1S48 jet fighters, Amen
can F-80's and British Vampires,
flew the Atlantic for the first
. time.
Welcome "Kitty Hawk"
It was the year, too, that the
nation welcomed home with belat
ed honors the original flying ma
chine. After 20 years of exile In
England, the Wright- brothers'
Kitty Hawk came to its final han
gar in the Smithsonian institu
tion. A brief span of 45 years lined
the supersonic rocket ship and
the jets to the 12-horsepower hi-,
plane which first flew at Kitty
Hawk, N.C., on Dec. 17, 1903. Men
of science expect the most extrav
agant prophecies to look conserv
ative at the end of another such
period.
When 1948 opened, military avi
ation was dangerously weak. The
aircraft Industry had suffered a
$100,000,000 loss before taking ad
vantage of tax carrybacks. The
airlines had just finished a year
of unprecedented losses and dis
astrous crashes.
Then came the reports of Pres
ident Truman's air policy commis
sion and the congressional avia
tion policy board. Together they
became the lodestar of American
air power, charting the course to
ward aerial rearmament, a strong
aircraft manufacturing industry,
sounder commercial aviation and
Intensified aeronautical research
and development.
The year now ending had Its
troubles as well as successes.. It
was the first full year of unifi
cation of the armed forces. But
unification looked like the wrong
word. Economies were not ef
fected. '
Industry Shows Profit
The aircraft Industry expected
Legislators Meet With County Officials
IMmmmiiTiwii irnn -' mIB tm -mm
Legislators from five counties were In Bend yesterday to meet with members of the county judges
and commissioners for a discussion of matters pertaining to the forthcoming session of legislature. In
the kioud above are Henry Semon, representative, Klamath county; W. B. Morse, representative,
Crook and Jefferson counties; Phil S. Hitchcock, senator, 17th district; James F. Short, representa
tive, Deschutes and Lake counties, and A. P. Meyers, representative, Deschutes county.
to end the year with "modest pro
fits," but by no means enough
to offset 1946 and 1947 losses.
Sales of the 15 major companies
were expected to total $l,liu,uuu.
000. Military aircraft production
was estimated at 2,200 to 2,400
planes, a gain of about 500 over
last year. Without cutbacks, pro
duction should be 3.00Q next year
from orders placed during i48.
Commercial transport production
declined, however, amounting to
170 planes compared wltn J.W in
1947. Approximately 135 are on
order for 1949.
America's international airlines
expanded on all fronts, flying
more passengers, express, mail
and freight and increasing their
total fleet from 173 to 197 planes.
The domestic airlines had car
ried 9,128,230 passengers in the
first nine months, a decline of
199,000 from the 1947 period.
But In other categories they
showed gains 8.6 per cent in
mall, 5.9 per cent in express and
99.8 per cent in freight. Their
airliner fleet Increased to 862, a
gain of 118 over last year.
Madras Dogs
To Face Tie-Up
Madras, Dec. 21 Following the
recent plea for owners of home
flocks of sheep in the Redmond
district that dogs be restrained at
night to prevent them from gang
ing up and chasing sheep within a
substantial radius of towns, par
ents of the Madras grade school
have complained so vigorously
that city authorities have ordered
that dogs here must not run at
large.
Parents and teachers complain
that dogs, congregating at the
school have become a menace to
small childreii.
City Recortder Nestor Seaman
says that the police will destroy
dogs not kept confined at home
quarters or restrained on. a leash.
County Officials

smaller under the statute now in
effect.
Recommend Changes
The district meeting was In
formed of the stale association
recommendation for law to allow
road district meetings in the
spring, Instead of in November
as now, also of a report In favor
of a change In the method of ap
pointing members of the state
board of forestry and grazing.
The change would give sole au
thority to the governor instead of
leaving some of the designations
to groups especially Interested in
timber and in livestock.
The state association will mem
orialize congress asking that fed
eral motor vehicle excises and
taxes on gasoline and oil either
be reduced or that the amounts
raised from such taxes be appro
priated. Federal revenues of the
kind run from $900,000,000 to $1,
000,000,000 annually, Judge
Phipps explained, but only an ap
proximate $450,000 Is appropriat
ed back for nignway purposes. At
the same time, he stressed,
states which divert license and
gasoline tax proceeds of their own
to non-highway uses are penaliz
ed by reduced allocations of fed
eral money.
Inspection Law Discussed
Straict enforcement and
strengthening of the Bangs dis
ease inspection law in its applica
tion to auction lots and sales rings
and in regard to calf vaccination
is one of the association s recom
mendations.
Report of an interim committee
of the legislature will seek uni
fication of bills having to do with
county officer salaries, it was stat
ed. The purpose will be to have
one bill cover all salary Changes
instead of one or more bills for
each county as has been the pro
ceed u re.

Entry Restrictions
On Tourists Hit
Washington till The American
Automobile association wants con
gress to eliminate entry restric
tions for tourists who visit this
country from "friendly nations"
and stay less than six months.
Michael Frome, assistant public
relations director of the AAA, told
the staff of a senate Judiciary sub
committee that the association
feels "no more genuine demon
stration of sincerity to other na
tions could be made than through
a willingness to meet them half
way on the elimination of entry
requirements."
Frome endorsed a bill which
Sen. Owen Brewster, R., Me.,- in
troduced in the last congress. It
would set up branch offices of
the state department's passport
division and authorize the waiv
ing of visa requirements for tem
porary business and pleasure vis
itors. '
The AAA spokesman pointed
out that 11 nations of Europe al
ready have waived their visa re
quirements for American travel
ers "without demanding recipro
city" and that many Central
American and Caribbean coun
tries "ask no more than a tour
ist card."
Frome said the AAA felt "we
cannot forever be advising other
nations to tear down their bar
riers while maintaining our own
at their present near-insurmountable
heights."
