Sunburned English Bicyclist Stops in Medford on 7,600-Mile Trip Across US Funds Allocated Oregon Airports Washington (U.R) Im provement of major Oregon air port facilities was assured yes terday by a Civil Aeronautics administration allocation of $520,300 in federal matching funds to three Oregon cities. The CAA allocated $185,800 to Eugene, $34,500 to Medford and $300,000 to Portland, accord ing to word received by Oregon Sens. Richard Neuberger and Wayne Morse and Rep. Edith Green. The funds will provide run way extension and reconstruc tion for Mahlon Sweet airport at Eugene, Medford Municipal and Portland International air ports. The program would benefit all phases of aviation and create em ployment in building, supply and construction industries, accord ing to the three Oregonians. They said the allocations for fiscal 1956 were in addition to funds which will be allocated within the next 90 days for other airport projects to receive aid under appropriations approved by the 84th Congress. Johnny Hathaway, a sun burned Coventry. England, bi cyclist, stopped in Medford yes terday on a trip that will take him some 7,600 miles across the United States. Hathaway has already cov ered 841 miles since starting out a week ago from Vancouver, B. C But it wasn t until he ar rived in downtown Medford that he had his first accident. However, it was only minor. A spoke was broken. This was expected to be fixed in short order, and Hathaway planned to be on his way again, as sche uled, this morning. The small, stocky Englishman made what probably will be the longest one-day trip of the entire jaunt on Monday, when he cycled from Madras to Crater lake, a distance of about 150 miles. He originally was scheduled to stop at Chemult for the night, but decided to go on to the lake. Speaking with a decided British accent, Hathaway declared the Monday journey was a tough one. The heat was much greater than he expected, there was little or no shade, and a good share of the route was up hill. In fact, Hathaway was still feeling the effects of the long trip when he started out yesterday from Crater lake. "I didn't have any push left in my legs," he said with a grin. So far, Hathaway has been particularly impressed with Mt Rainier and Crater lake, which he compared with Lake Louise, in Canada. Mt. Hood, lacking in snow at this time of year, was something of a disappointment. A mechanical draftsman at home in Coventry, Hathaway started his bike riding career in England as a racer. His first cross country trip was in 1953, when he went from Montreal, Canada, to Vancouver, B. C, a distance of 5,300 miles. Recalling that trip, he said the weather was hotter Monday than it was at any time whi crissing Canada, with the excep tion of one day. Since arriving in British Columbia. Hathaway has worked as a mechanical draftsman for Crown Zellerbach paper com pany, in an area without any roads worthy of the name. This bothered him, because he lad no choice to get into con iition for his tour of the United States. However, he said yester day, that it hadn't been as tough as he expected. The trip to the United States was prompted by a desire to see the Grand Canyon. However, on thinking it over, Hathaway decided he'd hate to go home and tell people he had a chance to see the rest of the United States and then failed to take it. So he mapped out the 7,000 mile trip. The entire trip, Hathaway fer vently hopes, will cost about $400. He plans to camp out as much as possible, and is eating only two large meals a day, at morning and night, "with maybe a snack in be tween." Traffic "hasn't been bad, so far," Hathaway says, and he doesn't expect it to be a prob lem, even in the more heavily populated areas. He noted that he has received some offers of rides, but he's turned them down because he's afraid he would miss some good chances to take colored pictures. Hathaway is mailing the film to the east, where he will pick it up before catching a ship for England, from Montreal, in November.
