Central Oregon Cities Plan
Intervention at CAB Hearing
On Air Service for Region
Officials of the cities of Bend and Redmond today readied
a petition for submission to the United States civil aero
nautics board, seeking permission to intervene in a forth
coming CAB hearing on air
The hearing, probably to be
of next year, is for the consideration of a West Coast air
line's application to provide service to the area, and their
request that United airline service here be suspended.
Representatives of. the Bend
commerce are working in con-
junction with the city off lcials
on the air service issue, and
are expected to, participate in
any presentation made at the
Ti'eai'iii "' , V '' .
Today T.' D.' Sexton, may'dr;
of , Bend, and M. L. Coyner,
mayor of Redmond, affixed
their signatures to "the petition
which will be submitted to the
CAB.
A pre hearing conference on
the proposed change of service
here was held in Washington,
D, C, this past September.
It will be recalled that a hear
ing was held in San Francisco in
August on the matte:- of South
west airlines replacement of Unit
ed airlines service between Klam
ath Falls and Santa Barbara,
Calif.
The hearing followed a recom
mendation of the CAB in April,
that Southwest should be granted
a five-year extension of its tem
porary certificate to serve the
route, and UAL should suspend
service for the five year period
in order to eliminate "uneconom
ic competition."
Restriction Proposed
The recommendation by CAB
was in keeping with its recently
formulated policy to restrict the
activities of "trunk" line service
(such as United)- in certain areas.
Theory behind the board's
stand was that large trunk lines
lose money on small cities, and
these cities would be better serv
ed by "feeder" airlines (such as
VVestcoast and Southwest).
At the time of the Southwest
hearing in August, UAL presi
dent W. A. Patterson, told board
members that his company in
tends to 'fight to the last any
proposal to discontinue their serv
ice to smaller cities."
He termed UAL service to some
38 smaller cities a "feeder" line
operation even though the CAFi
did not recogrilze it as such, and
said United did not want to. aban
don any of these flights which
produced good will that offset
any financial loss.
.Mall Costs Involved
He added that taking all short
feeder hauls away from big air
lines would increase mail costs
and fares to the smaller commu
nities. It is Relieved that the stand of
Bend and Redmond will be along
the tine that regardless of which
airline carrier is to be used here,
fast through service from this
area to northern and southern
points Is essential, -and a fast
practical shuttle service between
this area and Portland is desir-
able. The thought is that the
service between Portland and the
Bend-Redmond airport should be
such as to provide a flight to the
valley each morning and a return

Spring Start
Set for New
Lake Highway
Work on the new Cascade
Lakes highway project, which
calls for five miles of grading
and seven and one-half miles of
clearing, will not be started until
early next spring, F. W. Riddle.
bprlnglleld, who was awarded
the contract, has announced.
Locally it was hoped that the
work could be launched this fall,
so the job would be near comple
tion by the start of the 1950 vaca
tion season, but the contractor has
decided that such an undertaking
this late in the year would not be
feasible, He reached his decision
prior to the present Indian sum
mer weather, following a visit to
the high country west of Bend.
That trip was made following the
early November storm, when
snow blanketed much of fhe re
gion.
Start in Early Spring
The contractor. It was reported.
decided It would be too much of a
risk to assemble men and equip
ment lor tne work this late in the
season. Kiddle plans to move
into the job just as early as pos-
sible next spring, even if it Is
necessary to break through snow
barriers.
Riddle received the contract on
his $67,816 bid. The grading proj
ect will extend the improvement
from the end of the present cin
ders, about a mile east of Dutch
man flat, to about half a mile
from the Todd lake furnoff.
The clearing contract provides
for removal of . trees and brush
from the right of way us far
south as Elk lake.

men.

of 10 miles.
Summoning planes from its

Fifty-two were here on the way

Portland Night
Spot Is Raided
Portland, Nov. 17 (IPi A north
end night, spot was raided early
today by state liquor commission
agents and city vice officers who
arrested five waitresses and
charged them with violating Ore
gen liquor laws.
The raid was on Tom John
son's chicken dinner Inn, one of
the oldest clubs in the city. About
20 customers were in the estab
lishment when agents walked In,
but they were permitted to leave.
Four women customers aired
a complaint.
"It's a dirty shame that a girl
who works until 2:30 in the
morning can't have a place where
after she gets through work,
said one. "Other people play after
work, why not us? We saved up
a week to buy that bottle and we
only had one drink out of it."
Despite the complaint, officers
arrested Rosemary Lloyd, 23;
Klcmentlne Armstrong, Dorothy
Adams, Blanche Golden and
Johnnie Williamson, all of whom
were held in the county Jail on
$500 bond.

Commission
Debates Fire,
Water Issues
Fire protection and city water
service to areas outside the Bend
clt'y limits came in for consider
able discussion at Wednesday
night's meeting of the city com
mission. No definite decisions
were made in either respect, but
Mayor T. D. Sexton voiced the
opinion that "at least it is some
thing we should think about" for
possible future action.
The fire protection Issue was
raised when rhll Gould, repre
senting a local Insurance agency
appeared before the commission
on behalf of the Bend Iron Works,
located outside the city limits. Hp
said thar the rating bureau now
refuses to recognize fire protec
tion outside city limits unless
definite contracts exist, in which
municipalities guarantee this pro
tection.
Gould offered to pay the city
$'32.58 annually, in exchange for
such a guarantee, in the form of
a written contract. He estimated
that the charge would be about
what the iron works would pay,
were it in a fire protection dis
trict, and would save his client
around $300 annually through
reduced Insurance rafes.
Fire Chief Explains
Asked by Mayor Sexton what
he thought of the proposal, LeRoy
Fox. city fire chief, explained
that It has been the practice of
his department to make runs out
side the city limits, on the theory
that; any fire originating there
might- also endanger property in
side the city limits. He explain
ed, however, that state law
makes him personally liable for
damage action, In the event city
property is lost by reason of the
fact that he has men and equip
ment fighting a fire outside the
limits. He asked the commission
to take a stand on the subject1,
for his guidance.
W. O. Cuthbertson, city man
ager, pointed out that" many su
burban areas in Oregon now have
formed fire protection districts
and pay on a millage basis for
this municipal service. Attempts
to form such districts around the
city of Bend thus far have beer
unavailing, however, he said.
Water Also Factor
Mayor Sexton also pointed out
that city water Is being obtained
free and trucked to residents
outside the city limits. He sug
gested a nominal charge, possibly
50 cents per thousand gallons,
for this water.
"The water truckers are selling
this water at $5 a tankload and
I have been Informed that they
can make up to two trips an
hour, taking the water from the
standplpe near the city ware
house," the mayor said. "It is
costing the taxpayers of Bend
$110,000 annually to provide this
water, and I don't believe we
should give It away."
W. B. Anderson suggested that
rural and suburban residents ob
taining city water should be re
quired (o pay at least as much
for it as do residents of Bend.
Percy Drost estimated that, on a
meter basis, such a rate would be
$1.50 for the first thousand gal
lons, ranging down to as low as
six cents a thousand gallons on
subsequent consumption.
"A policy on these questions
ultimately must be set up by the
city commission," the mayor com
mented. The discussion ended at

Rescuers Seek
Bodies; Dense
Fog Handicap
By Ed DeVere
(United PrtM Staff Correspondent)
Stockton, Calif., Nov. 17 HJl
Two air force B-29 bombers col-'
lided at 26,000 feet last night and
crashed into the fog-shrouded
peat bogs of the San Joaquin
river delta ,10 miles northwest of
here. ,--
Ten of the 21 airmen aboard
the two Superfortresses were
known dead. Seven men were .
missing and four parachuted to
safety and escaped with minor
injuries. '
Rescuers, hampered by the
dense tule fog which blanketed
the area and the widely-scattered .
wreckage of the giant planes,
were unable to determine the
fate of the seven missing crew
men hours after the crash. Some
may have parachuted and landed
in an inaccessible part of the del
ta region or they may all have
perished when the planes smash
ed into the earth and buried deep
in the mud.
Fragments Found
Lt. Romeo Freer, Fairfield-
Suisun AAB, in charge of rescue
operations, made a minute exam
ination of one of the B-29's, which
caught fire at impact and ex
ploded on McDonald island, nul l
ing wreckage more than 700
yards. He found three bodies and
some fragments of bodies.
"It is very difficult to tell," he
said, "whether they are parts of
the three known dead or remains
of the other members of the"
crew." - .
One man from the McDonald
island bomber parachuted to safe
ty. He was identified as Lt. War- .
ren Sherrick.
The other B-29 crashed across
the river three miles away on
the Rindge tract and burled it
self 20 feet into the slimy delta
mud.
Undersheriff Michael N. Can
lis of the San Joaquin county
sheriff's office said seven bodies
had been counted in the Rindge
tract crash. Rescuers could not
search the wreckage immediate
ly because the plane and the
area around It was covered with
high-octane gasoline and the fire
hazard was considered too great
to permit a close Inspection.
Three airmen parachuted from
the Rindge tract B-29. They were
identified as Pfc. Keith R. Burns,
19, Boise, Ida., a radio operator;
TSgt. Frank D. Schmidt, Spo
kane, flight engineer, r.-id SSgt.'
Robert S. Kluge, Spokane, a gun
ner. They were treated at Stockton
emergency hospital for minor in
juries and shock and then trans
ferred to Fairfleld-Sulsun AAB.
Survivors Incoherent
None of the survivors could
tell a coherent story of what
caused the big four-engine Super
fortresses to smash into each
other. One of the survivors, Lt
Sherrick, told a woman who
dressed his wounds that "maybe
he and another plane got mixed
up."
The ill-fated bombers were
