Statements Accepted
P r e-qualif ication statements
from nine paving contractors
were accepted by the council
with the stipulation that con
tractors awarded contracts by
the city would have to complete
projects within a specified time
limit. Council members pointed
out that the number of con
tractors submitting pre-qualifi-cations
assures the city of com
petitive bidding on paving pro
jects. An ordinance regulating park
ing signs, taxi company street
space and parking in some areas
was passed by the council. The
ordinance limits taxi company
restricted parking space to two
for each firm and authorizes the

to the firms at a deposit of $10
each. The city will also receive
a deposit on no parking signs
used at church entrances during
services.
To Sell Buildings

ous buildings on property re
cently acquired by the city for
extension of the municipal air
port. The structures will be
sold to the highest bidders for
removal from the property be
tween May 15 and August 15.
An instrument landing system

expected to be in operation by
November or December of this
year, according to Councilman
John Snider.
In other business, the council
accepted the resignation of John
Boyle, 240 King street, as chair
man of the library board. Boyle
asked that he be allowed to re
sign due to the press of personal
business. ' Eric Allen Jr., 48
Windsor avenue, was appointed

Military Aircraft
Production Running
600 Planes Monthly
Br CHARLES CORDDRY
United Press Aviation Writer
Washington (U.R) Military
aircraft production now is run
ning from 600 to 700 planes a
month and industry circles re
port it is more or less "on sched
ule." There is a gimmick in that.
Production is on schedule more
because of repeated downward
revisions of goals than because
of upward trends in aircraft out
put. That is called making the
schedules "realistic."

War Relief Funds
Solicited Here
A goal of $35,000 has teen
set for the 1952 Bishop's Fund
for the Victims of War in west
ern Oregon this year, it was an
nounced this week by Catholic
Charities of Portland.
Residents of Medford wishing
to participate in the fund drive
may send or take cash contri
butions to the Sacred Heart of
Jesus Roman Catholic church,
according to the Very Rev. John
M. Berger, pastor. Checks should
be made payable to the "Bishop's
Fund."
The appeal is sponsored by
the Bishops' Emergency Relief
committee and War Relief Serv
ices of the National Catholic
Welfare conference. The money
will send overseas foodstuffs,
medical supplies, clothing and
blankets for the relief of those
most in need, of any race, creed
or cplor. The aid reaches 63
countries.
admit that Russia is turning out
more war planes than this coun
try. Soviet production is cur
rently estimated at about 1,000
planes a month nearly all of
them combat types.
Complaints about the lag in
U. S. production are rising in
both Houses of Congress.
Investigators are fetching in
reports to the Senate Prepared
ness committee about airplanes
standing around the country un
delivered for want of engines
and parts.
Committee Chairman Lyndon
B. Johnson, D-Tex., will open an
investigation on March 31 of the
slow rate of air power expansion
and his spokesmen call it the
group's "number one priority"
for this year.
Failure Noted
Rep. Overton Brooks, second
ranking Democrat on the House
Armed Services committee, said
in a House speech that warplane
production has "failed dismally."
The Louisiana congressman used
the word "collapse" to describe
jet plane production. Industry
and military sources thought that
too strong. They also thought
Brooks' "guess" that the United
States is producing 1,000 jet
types a year was pretty much on
the low side.
Production now is rising to
ward a peak of 1,250 planes a
month for all services at the
end of 1953. The goal was 1.800
a month prior to the administra
tion decision early this year to
"stretch out" the rearmament
program. The decision put off
for a year to the end of 1955
attainment of a 143-wing Air
Force.
