EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE TuMdr. Not.' 14, 1944
T
Official Reported Fortifying
Opposition To Powerful
In'ernal Air Authority
Chicago, Nov. 14 U.R
America, in closed meetings
with Britain and Canada held
out firmly today against estab
lishment of a world civil aero
nautics board, and although the
discussions apparently have pro
duced no major compromises,
American quarters reported "en
couragement." -
Assistant Secretary of State
Adolf Berle, Jr., was reported
fortifying his opposition to a
powerful internal air authority
with reminders that the senate
will have to ratify any perman
ent air navigation convention
framed by the civil aviation conference.
According to one version of
the American discussions with
Viscount Swinton, British civil
aviation minister, and C. D.
Howe, Canadian minister for re
construction, it is being stressed,
meanwhile, that interim ar
rangements for commercial fly
ing, by executive agreement,
must conform with existing air
legislation.
Working Agreement Seen
President Roosevelt, it was
aid, can make a "first class
working agreement with other
nations," under the "broad"
terms of the civil aeronautics
act of 1938. But that law, It was
added, would not permit delega
tion of economic and political
control powers to a world au
thority. Under existing law, It was
pointed out, America can permit
the entry of foreign planes at
commercial airports and experts
said the right of transit through
U. S. air space also could be
established. . . .
GW and Take
. One American official here
aid the conference "had reach
ed the stage where you match
your objectives against the other
fellows." He left the impression
there would be ample give and
take on the major Issues of reg
ulation of number of round
trips between countries, fixing
of fares, allocation of routes and
control of subsidies.
But to take these matters out
of the realm of intergovernment
al negotiations and to place them
under control of a world author
ity set up by treaty, it was
argued, would risk defeat of the
treaty by 33 senators.

CONCERTS HERE
Plans for the second concert
season of the Jackson' County
Civic Music association were in
augurated at a dinner meeting
last night attended by more than
125 workers who gathered in
the banquet room of th Hotel
Medford. Extra guests who
could not be seated in the ban
quet room were served dinner
through the hotel facilities, then
returned to the banquet room
for the business session.
Seth Bullls, president, pre
sided and stressed the fact that
many disappointed music lovers
failed to get memberships last
year and were necessarily de
nied an opportunity to attend
the concerts, even 'though many
had 'sought to purchase single
tickets throughout the season.
He again pointed out that no
single tickets are available for
concerts, and that memberships
must be secured before Satur
day night of this week.
Franklyn Smith, civic concert
representative from New York,
discussed in detail the contro
versial question of how many
concerts the association should
bring to Medford each year'. Fol
lowing his talk, wherein he gave
much detail of the basic struc
ture of the concert profession, a
general discussion was encour
aged. At the end of the discussion
a show of hands was asked and
by a large majority those pres
ent voted to follow the prece
dent established last year; to en
tfnge alarge series of well bal
anced concerts by fine artists.
The majority expressed a wish
to have six concerts if possible
for the current season.
Smith pointed out that the
greater percentage of the civic
music audience have, varied
tastes which can only be satis
fled through presenting artists
oi many types, to include instru
mentalists of varied categories,
both men and women singers,
and ensembles of general appeal.
This opinion coincided with the
opinion of the majority and
established the keynote of the
membership week. ,
Headquarters at the Chamber
of Commerce will be open dally
throughout the week from 9
a. m. to 5 p. m. Tuesday and
Thursday, and from 9 a. m. to
