Library Building
Addition Slated
For Early July
Construction of the addition
planned for the city library may
get underway early in July,
John C. Boyle, chairman of the
library board, haj reported.
Preliminary plans, revised
from earlier plans, have been
approved by the board, the plan
ning commission and the city
council. Final plans are being
completed and will be ready
shortly. Bids then will be asked.
Plant Available
Preliminary clans are avail
able at the city building inspec
tor's office for public inspection.
The addition, which will pro
vide about 50 per cent more
floor space, will be of modern
type architecture designed to
blend in with a civic center de
velopment, Boyle said. This civic
center is part of a long range
plan for the old park area on
west iviam street.
Ruilt on the south Dart of the
present building, the addition
will provide more reading room
space, librarians quarters and a
repair room on the top floor.
There will be more room for
shelves and stands.
The children's library will be
moved to the new lower floor
area and the old children's sec
tion will be used for storage and
more library space. Heating fa
cilities will be included in tne
addition.
In Dream Staq.
City officials have pointed out
that tne civic center plan, wnicn
includes a city hall and munici
pal auditorium, at the old park
site is in the dream stage and
is "wishful hoping." The eventu
al plan is for the present library
to be removed and a new one
erected. The addition now con
templated, however, will be a
part of the new structure located
to conform to tne overall plan.
Money for the library addition
is provided by a S102.000 bond
issue approved several yea rs
ago. Bias nave oeen asxea ior

Each time they were rejected
because the offers would not

structure or allow for renova

Speed Offered

fering the board what help it
can to speed along the library
addition, according to Mayor
Diamond Flynn. Assistance has

Gen. Eisenhower Points to
Unbalanced Budget Dangers
Washington. June 10 U.R)
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
of Columbia university has made
another of those speeches which
spotlight him as a moderate con
servative candidate for reDub
lican nomination for president of
the United States.
Ike spoke this week before the
8.018 members of Columbia's
1950 graduating class. That's
more people than live in the gen
eral's home town. Abilene, Kan.
Dangers Pointed Out
Ike talked of the dangers of
an unbalanced budget, against
treason in high places. He scoffed
at those who shout "reactionary"
at men who challenge govern
ment officials grasping for more
power. Ike put it this way:
"Determination to support and
sustain the political and -economic
freedom of the individual
does not make us reactionaries
except to those of fuzzy minds
or among those egotists who seek
the right to dominate us al
ways of course, for our own
good."
Ike has been laying his polit
ical philosophy before the
American people for more than a
year now while denying that he
is a candidate for public office.
Last December 22 President Tru
man' told newsmen he did not
believe the general was a can
didate for president. Mr. Truman
said Ike had denied it and that
the general's word was always
good.
Supporters Not Sure
Mr. Truman's supporters in
Americans for Democratic Ac
tion are not so sure. In their con
vention last December they rec
ognized the Eisenhower name
as a political threat. They acted
accordingly. An ADA resolution
denounced the general as a new
member of the reactionary forces
who "advocate a jungle state."
Only a couple of years ago ADA
was sparking a stop-Truman
movement and seeking to make
Eisenhower the democratic presi
dential nominee.
Danger to Freedom
On February 13 Ike aimed a
speech directly at Mr. Truman.
To a New York audience he said
the increasing power of the fed
eral government was a "creeping
paralysis" and a greater danger
to freedom than the A-bomb.
He has not said whether he is
a republican or democrat. When
he registered last year in New
York it was without party affili
ation. But as president of Co
lumbia he has waded shoulder
deep into national politics.
A scries of statements reached
a political high last December
when Ike directly attacked the
Truman administration on do
mestic spending and individual
security policies.
No Soft Shoulder lor
This Man To Cry On
Grants Pass. Ore., June 10
(U.R) C. T. Weitz, owner of
the Argo mine near Galice in
western Josephine county, is
crying today but he isn't look
ing for a soft shoulder to cry
on. A soft shoulder is the cause
of his troubles.
Weitz and a passenger Ike
Franklin were in Weitz' car
Thursday morning when a soft
shoulder on the Galice road
gave way flipping the car over
twice and landing it on its
wheels in the gully some 30 feet
below.
Weitz( his glasses still intact
on his nose, crawled out unhurt
and surveyed his mangled car.
Franklin was also uninjured. A
wrecker pulled the car back on
the road and Weitz drove it
back to town with all windows
smashed, stoplight shattered
and the lop caved in. He bought
the car less than a week ago.

Details oi Airline
Consolidation Plan
Revealed in Story
More detailed information on
the Western Air lines proposal
that it take over the operations
of West Coast airlines and South
west airways was received here
last week in the form of an
article in a recent issue of
"American Aviation, journal of
the aviation industry.
According to the Article. West
ern's plans to operate feeder
service over the same route now
covered bv the established routes
of Southwest and West Coast was
first revealed at a recent civil
aeronautics board prehearing in
connection with the proposed
Southwest-West Coast merger.
Several Alternatlvei
The American Aviation article
Indicated that the Western ap
plication raised several alterna
tives for the CAB. If the mo
tion should be granted at all.
Western could either be given
the feeder lines under its own
name and operate the service
under its own certificate or It
could onerate it through its new
ly-formed subsidiary. Western
Air Lines of Pacific.
Western has also asked that
its motion be consolidated with
the numerous other cases involv
ing airlines on the coast that
have been pending before the
CAB for months. Aviation cir
cles here believe that so many
supplemental motions on the
original cases have been filed
that it may be years before any
definite action is taken.
