To Bridge Proposal

State Highway commission has
notified Astoria interests that it
wanted little or nothing to do
' with a proposed bridge across
, the mouth of the Columbia
river.
The Astoria Port commission,
the Pacific County Commission'
ers of Washington state, the As
toria Chamber of Commerce,
and the Oregon Coast associa
tion submitted a series of ques
tions to the highway commis
sion at its Portland meeting a
week ago.
In its answers the highway
commission said there is no
money available for supplemen
tal financing of the bridge; the
state could not assume any
part of maintenance or operat
ing costs; no federal aid could
be obtained since the span
would be a toll bridge; the com
mission has no authority to par
ticipate in such a project.

had been dumped into the

Air Force Plans
Adair Project
Corvallis (U.R) A $5,000,000
Air Force installation is in the
design stage at the former Camp
Adair cantonment area north of
here, it was revealed today by
the Air Force.
While some secrecy surrounds
the project, it was believed to be
a "Sage" installation, having to
do with air defense communica
tions. The office of Col. Paul Ste
vens, representative in Portland
for Air Force construction in
the Northwest, said about 19 per
manent type buildings are plan
ned. These will include a mess
hall, dormitories, warehouse,
motor pool and a general build
ing. Several hundred personnel, a
large percentage of them mar
ried, will be stationed at the
site, it, was said. Test drilling of
building sites is underway by a
Portland consulting engineering
firm.
The Army engineers will do
designing and construction, ac
cording to the Air Force.
Some 20 buildings still on the
site will be up for sale in about
a month. They are old buildings
left over from World War II
days.

oil furnaces
"I've lived in houses with all
kinds of heat and, believe me, I know. Oil
heat is cheaper. With oil our fuel bills are
lower and we get real even heat all the
time. My wife says it's cleaner and safer,
too. I wouldn't buy a house that
didn't have oil heat."

Smell Firms To Get
6SA Business Share
Portland tU.R) The govern
ment has taken action to assure
small firms a fair share of the
General Service administra
tion's $400,000,000 per year
business, Robin Small, assistant
regional GSA administrator,
said today.
Small said the action is ex
pected to encourage many small
Oregon lumber mills and other
factories to submit bids for fur
nishing commodities. The pro
gram, announced yesterday in
Washington, calls for the Small
Business administration and
GSA to cooperate to increase
the little manufacturer's sales
of goods and services.
Small said, "our idea is to
make sure that small manufac
turers may have equal opportu
nity to bid in competition with
larger concerns."

Observatory Houses
Astronomy Library
Mt. Hamilton, Calif. (U.R)
The nation's second - ranked
most complete and valuable as
tronomical library is now housed
in a new $120,000 library here
after being stored in an attic for
years.
Dr. C. D. Sharne, Lick Obser
vatory director, said the station's
25,000-volume library has been
installed in a two-story annex
to the administration building.
He said the observatory's li
brary is second only to the one
at the U. S. Naval Observatory
in Washington. The Lick collec
tion contains many complete sets
of periodicals and a number of
old and rare books.
The new building, although it
contains only 5,000 square feet,
will take care ' of the future li
brary space needs for more than
50 years. The acquisition of
books is limited to astronomy
and closely related fields. There
fore, ' the growth is relatively
small when compared to that of
a general library.

United States as a state in 1837.

ice manager of the Automobile
Manufacturers association, spoke
to the Chamber of Commerce.
He said some SlOl.OOO.OOCOOO
