Washington, July 23 UR) Congress soon will receive from the Civil Aeronautics Adminis tration a survey showing the need for a $1,000,000,000 airport construction program, including thousands of small fields for "personal flying." Assistant Secretary of Com merce William A. M. Burden said In a Sunday radio address that, the survey would show that the nation's 3.0B8 airports should be increased by 3,000 within five to 10 years after the war, while 1,625 existing airports should be Improved. Joint Program Burden said the study con templated a Joint federal-state program, under which the fed eral government would appro priate 5100,000,000 yearly while state governments would provide another $100,000,000. In this way, he said, the $1,000,000,000 program could be completed within five years. He called on all communities to plan now the part they would play in such a program. While some additional large air termin als will be needed, he said, 2,900 of the 3,000 new fields probably would be smallcd types of land ing areas. 1.827 Big Airports Burden explained that under the plan, 1,827 cities would have airports which could accommo date "anything from charter service and small local or feeder lines to transcontinental express service, according to the travel market the area offers." The cost of facilities for the 1,827 cities would be about $630, 000,000. The remainder of the proposed $1,000,000,000 fund would be spent to spot the coun try "with small airports for per sonal flying," Burden said. The Michigan conservation de partment operates 14 fish hatch eries, 13 trout rearing stations and eight mnjor bass and blucglll rearing ponds to produce game fish for stocking waters through out the state. COL CHAMBERLIN HAS ID WORD FOR PEOPLE HERE In a farewell statement yester day. Col. F. T.'Chambcrlin, for mer medical director and post surgeon for Camp White, stated that in all his 27 years of army experience he had never before found citizens or agencies as co operative as those of Medford and the Rogue River valley. Col. and Mrs. Chumbcrlin, here since February, 1943, left this morn ing for Camp Lockett, Cal., where the army is establishing the first army service force con valescent center which the colo nel will command. "I never asked for anything that wasn't forthcoming. Col Chamberlin declared, and added that the cooperative spirit of both persons and agencies had been "remarkable." The officer stated that he and hlsMaff mem bers were leaving with the deep est regret, and said that the rush of army business prevented him from calling personally on the many civilians in this area who had worked with him in various ways during his stay at Camp White. Many officers, noncom missioned officers and nurses are being transferred to Camp Lock ett from the colonel's staff here.
