Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Saturday, August 27, 1949 62 Cents Against 3 Cents Salem's threatened loss of United Air Lines service has brought new reaction from the Mainliner company. W. A. Patterson, president of the company, has written to ex plain in detail United's position in relation to the Civil Aeronautic Board's plan to substitute West Coast Airlines for United here. In a letter received by the Capital Journal, Patterson TLJ rmecmr m stresses the point that "United Air Lines is not anxious THE FIRESIDE PULPIT to discontinue service to any city it now serves. , At the same time, he explains that the company has been faced in the past 18 months with a problem of com pensation for service to smaller cities. He admits in frank ness "certain informal discussions concerning the transfer of some cities to feeder lines." In the latter connection, however, it will be recalled that he specifically stated at the recent San Francisco hearing that United did not want to lose Salem, His com ments then: "Salem is not included on the list of towns United Air Lines would be interested in giving up."

We Need to Examine Feelings Of Each in Regard to Death BY REV. GEORGE H. SWIFT Rector St Paul'" EplncoPal Church We have heard a good deal in recent years about the "sonic barrier."

West Coast Airlines receives approximately 62 cents per airplane-mile for serving Bellingham. . . . The pay we (United) receive is 3 cents an airplane-mile." In pointing to such inequities, Patterson states that United must be compensated more or the Mainliner "must give serious consideration to transferring certain cities to feeder lines." "I want to repeal again, however, that I am not yet satisfied of living for a that there is any particular economy to the government in time across the seas, taking a 3 cent a mile airline out of a community and nutting a 62 cent a mile line into a community.

SIPS FOR SUPPER Relics of St. Peter Said Found The Vatican radio has urged Catholics to await a "great revelation" by the Holy See concerning the tomb of St. Peter. This is evidently the only authoritative Vatican comment made on the extended report in the New York Times that the first pope's bones have been found under the altar of St. Peter's basilica. There is no hint regarding the nature of the expected revelation to be made by Pope Pius XII at some future date. The Times published a lengthy detailed article by Cam illa M. Cianfarra, its Rome correspondent, concerning the v discovery of the bones of St. Peter, "Prince of the Anos tlcs," who according to Christian tradition, was crucified in Rome during the second half of the first century A.D., less than 20 feet below the pavement of the Basilica. Vatican archeologists who directed the excavation are bound by an oath of secrecy, but enough circumstantial evidence has been gathered according to Cianfarra, to sub stantiate the story. The crypt was said to have been unearthed three years ago in course of secret excavations in the Vatican Grot-' tos. The bones are, it is said, being preserved in an urn closely guarded by the Pope himself, in his study. The correspondent says : "Officials have described the discovery as the most import ant contribution yet made to the history of the origins of Chris tianity in the West. They said that it confirmed traditions and legends reported by historians during the past 1,800 years about the life and work of the poor fisherman from Galilee who was said to be the most favored, trusted and authoritative disciple of Christ. "According to these officials, the discovery disposes con clusively of not, -Catholic contentions that Peter never lived, that if he did he was never in Rome, that he was not therefore the founder of the Roman Catholic Church, and that the Bishop of Rome the )Jope is not his successor." The shrine has been lost to the world for over a thous and years, when a pope of that period, tearing that the know some grave of the apostle might be profaned during the bar- places where barian invasion of Rome, decided to fill it with earth and nc's aPl to land conceal it.

A grim picture was conjured up during the debate in the con sultative assembly of the 12-nation council of Europe just termin- . nated In Stras bourg, France. The consensus was that the Marshall plan aid is producing little permanent effect on recov ery and that Eu- ope is in for eco nomic chaos if she can't achieve economic unity before the pro gram ends in 1952. The more gloomy prophets foresaw social upheavals and even wars if economic unity isn't achieved. Nobody contradicted DeWltt Mackenzie their anxiety to overcome their., personal difficulties.
