Woodburn Assured Work Doesn'i Mean Air Base Coming By UNITED PRESS Residents of the Woodburn area were assured today that preliminary surveys on a 15,000 acre site west of the town do not mean that the location has been selected for a new $13, 000,000 Air Force base. Earl Snyder, director of the State Board of Aeronautics, said the federal air space co-ordinating committee in Log Angeles had approved the site as possible for development. Crews have been in the area setting stakes and making surveys. Concerned About Loss A group of farmers reported to Snyder about crews drilling deep holes in fields to test sub soil conditions. They were con cerned about possible loss of their farms and loss of property from tax rolls for school sup port. - Col. Wilson H. Banks, head of the joint Air Force-Navy survey team which inspected sites re cently, said in Washington, D.C., that the survey is "one of many facets" of the investigation on "one of many sites" being con sidered. Decision 60 Days Away Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) said the, Air Force had assured him there would be no decision on a. site for at least another 60 days. He said he had received many wires from Chambers of Com merce in the Willamette valley requesting the base be built in their areas. He also has received letters and petitions protesting possible location of the base on farmland in the Woodburn, Mo lalla, Sheridan and St. Paul areas.
