REFUGEE IN PRAGUE
Citizens of other countries so often seek residence in our
own that we think nothing of it except, perhaps, when a ques
tion of immigration quota comes to attention. The United
States has largely been settled by persons of foreign birth,
some drawn by the greater opportunity in the new land, some
by the promise of a degree of freedom which they could en
vision but which they had not yet known. The rate at which
they come is now limited by law but still their arrival is com
monplace. But when a citizen of the United States seeks refuge in a
foreign land, that's news. It was so considered last week
when the word came that a former American government em
ploye in Germany had chosen to make Czechoslovakia his
home and had asked the communist rulers of that puppet
state to permit him to remain as a political refugee. Oddly
enough, he suggests" that he will hang on to his American citi
zenship just why does not appear and that he may return
to this country some day. It may be sooner than he' thinks.
We fancy that the "refugee" and his wife will find things
much less to their liking in Prague under communist rule
than his imagination has pictured them.
But, at the moment, he is soured on America. The United
States government, he avers, is "fostering the revival of ges
tapo and nazi methods in Germany" and he has made up his
mind not to return to his own country as long as the Truman
administration remains in power. So there ! Will President
Truman, appalled at the thought of the citizen's protracted
absence,, hasten to resign? Or is there at least a possibility
that he may be willing to endure further service ds president
just to keep George Wheeler for that is the man's name
from coming back? One guess is permitted. .
For our part, we can't see that it matters a great deal. Of
course we'd like a change in administration but we see no
chance of getting one by going away. Changes are brought
about by those who are ready to play an active part, not by
those who hold themselves coldly aloof. The excuse which
Wheeler gives is a flimsy one. That he prefers, or thinks that
he prefers the red way of life, is much more likely.
And, if he does, that's his business. We hope he likes it.
America can probably struggle along without him.
In China, General Ma's commies are reported to be tearing
flown the great wall, which has endured since long before the
birth of Christ. They will use its material for building blocks.
It is by no means the first time that the wall has been so used
nor, in all likelihood, will it be the last. That bits of its 2,000
mile length should be removed from time to time is really of
little significance.
What is significant is the fact that the reds will be equally
lacking in sentiment in demolishing anything else orders of
society, personal freedoms, economic and political concepts
and in twisting and re-shaping them to conform to their own
distorted views. Waste mi sympathy on China's great wall. It
is China's people who need it.
C. J. Morgan's residence in Bend has bi;en comparatively
short but in the few years of his stay here his activity in com
munity affairs has been such as to make the announcement ol
his transfer to another area the cause for genuine regret. An
ardent sportsman, prominent in fish and game conservation
programs, an effective worker in the hospital campaign and
in the general promotion of chnmbur of commerce objectives,
he has given generously of his time and talents for the ad
vancement of Bend. Of pleasing personality, he has made
many friends here who, with us, will hope tor his return when
the retirement policy of his company, permits.

Washincton (NEA) Behind
the $10,000,000 anti-trust suit just
filed by Slick Airways, Inc.,
against the three major U. S. do
mestic airlines, is a lour-year fiat
tie over the rapidly growing air
freight business. A long couri
fight lies ahead, with no telling
what outcome. But if the courts
find for Slick, this company will
be eligible to receive triple dam
ages of $30,000,000, as an aggriev
ed competitor.
The charge wnien suck maKes
against the regular, scheduled
passenger-mail-express lines is, In
brief, unfair competition and a
conspiracy to drive the non-sunsi-dized
air freight line out of busi
ness. The Slick suit is filed? pri
marily against "the big thre8" of
United, American and Trans-continental
Western Airlines. But the
Air Transport association, which
Includes all the scheduled lines,
and Air Cnrgo.'Inc, their ground,
freight pick-up and delivery serv
ice, are also made defendants. So
this is really a court fight be
tween one independent and the
field.
Slick Alrwnvs, whose president
Is 39-yenr-old Earl F. Slick of San
Antonio, Tex., began operations
In March, 19415. Slick hail been an
air transport command pilot dur
ing the war. He is one of many
who foresaw the possibility for
commercial nlr cargo. Ho has
spent several million dollars into
pulling over ins own airline ami
now finds It unable to raise furth
er equity capital because of the
regular airline competition
thrown against him.
The going has been tough, how-

ever, and a lot of the independ
ents who tried to buck the major
airlines for cargo business have
crashed into bankruptcy. Today
there are three principal surviv
ing freight lines Slick, Flying
Tiger Line, Inc., and U. S. Air
lines, Inc.
In the last quarter of 1949,
Slick, with 21 planes, carried 7,
381,000 ton-miles of cargo. Flying
Tiger with 15 planes carried 3,
648,000 ton-miles. U. S. Airlines
Willi 5 planes carried 585,000 ton
miles. Slick and Flying Tiger
claim they made money in Decem
ber and January.
Slick now operates schedules to
six principal terminals Newark,
Chicago, San Antonio, Kansas
City, Burbank and San Francisco.
Slick also operates Irregularly
hto:. 17 ojther major; city termi
nals, anil is certuicaieu to oper
ate into 50 cities.
Flying Tiger is certificated for
roughly parallel east-west routes,
but its ones from Newark and
Chicago extend to the northwest.
U. S. Airlines operates on north
south routes, New York and Chi
cago to the gulf ports.
To get this business, the freight
lines have had to buck the tough
est kind of competition. They op
erated first as contract carriers
under special exemptions from
CAB regulations. !
Hates on the first air freight I
business ranged up to 30 cents a ;
ton-mile. The regular airlines be-'
gan cutting rates to 11 cents. This ;
drove a lot of independents out of ;
business.
To stop cutthroat competition, 1
CAB in April. 1948. put a floor of j
15 cents a ton-mile on all air J
freight shipments. The fight for
business has been a Utile more
even since then, hut the freight
lines claim the regulars slill run
flights with less than pay loads in
order to beat the Independents!
out of customers and capture the;
market. j
The freight lines, through their ;
Air Freight Assn., and the inde-;
pendents through a merger of
six small trade associations into
the Independent Air Carriers Con
ference, claim that the regular
lines are using their cirmail sub
sidy money lo destroy competi-1
tion. Two bills to separate mail
pay from subsidies now are be
fore congress. i
The regular airlines contend
that they were in business first
and therefore have priority rights
lo keep out competitors. The Slick :
Airways anti-trust suit will test '.
that theory.
