Efficient service from men who know how to make your dollars work harder for you is another. And, of course, your money is safe because in insured Associations your savings are protected by sound management and substantial reserves. They are insured up to $10,000 by the FSLIC-an agency of the U. S. Government. These are the reasons why Americans are putting more of their savings account dollars into insured Savings and Loan Associations than anywhere else!

Kyle, President Concern Voiced About Congestion Af Air Traffic Washington (U.R) Avia tion officials in government and private industry today told of plans and ideas for greatly in creased control of planes in flight to prevent collisions in the air. Investigators seeking the cause of Saturday's fatal double crash in Grand Canyon have made no official finding, but the circumstances pointed to the pos sibility that the two airliners ran into each other. Many air-conscious people have been voicing concern for several year's about current air traffic congestion and the like lihood of critical congestion in the future when there are more and faster . planes. There was some feeling today that last week end's tragedy in Arizona would have ironically beneficial results in bringing more ener gies to bear on solution of the problem. Programs Started Long before the latest catas trophe, plans and programs were being started. The Civil Aeronautics Admin istration has a $265,000,000 five year plan or multiplying its ground installations for air nav igation and traffic control-radar, radio signals and ground-to-air communications. Congress re cently voted $40,000,000 for the first year's work. The Air Transport association, made up of the nation's 47 scheduled airlines, decided only last week to make a big push in ther search for a device to warn pilots when they are on a col lision course with another plane nearby. The CAA and the military are working on the possibility of using U. S. defense radar instal lations in the control of non-military aviation as well as mili tary. These units are parts of the SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) system for detect ing an enemy air attack and guiding U. S. fighter planes to the invaders. Complete SAGE-type system for the whole country, with ra dar augmented by computers to direct planes in the air, would be expensive, but some quarters feel such complete, full-time control is necessary, or soon will be. The several government and industry air safety programs are working in that direction. The CAA's five-year plan en visions 46 more airport surveil lance radar installations. There are 34 now operating. The plan also would increase long-range radar installations two now operating and two more author ized by adding 87 more. It would add 459 new omni-direc-tional radio ranges to the 418 now installed on the nation's air lanes. There are no comparable fig ures for the planned increase of ground-to-air communcations. The aim is to eliminate many of the time-consuming relays of messages from one air route con trol station to another and thence to a plane in the air, by giving more of the stations di rect communication with planes.

Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport News Editors Demand Sweeping Modernisation of Air Regulations By UNITED PRESS Newspapers across the coun try demanded editorially today that the government follow up the tragic crash of two airliners in Grand Canyon, apparently after a collision, with a sweep ing modernization of air traffic regulations. The Dallas Times Herald in a front page editorial, called the crash a "shocking reminder that the problem of safety in air tra vel is far from being solved." It "called -for a thorough investiga tion by all the agencies that su pervise air services" and said "public interest demands that Congress review all the laws and regulations that apply to aviation." In Denver, the Scripps-How-ard Rocky Mountain News said "We have been made tragically aware of the mounting danger of collisions. This is developing naturally from the great in crease in air traffic and plane speeds, perhaps leaping danger- YoungsfersNominafed For Bravery Medals Salem (U.R) Youngsters from La Grande, Lebanon and Garibaldi have been nominated by Gov. Elmo Smith for bravery medals by the Young Americans Medals committee of the U.S. Department of Justice. Nomina tions are for bravery during 1955. Nominees include Jim White man, 14, of La Grande, who saved a 17-year-old friend from the" Grande Ronde river; Lynn Pettit, 12, Lebanon, who saved a six-year-old boy from drown ing at the Lebanon community swimming pool, and Donna Wampole, 12, Garibaldi, who rescued six children from a burning home in rural Tillamook county. ously ahead of the nation's traf fic control system."

The Revs. John W. Clifford and Thomas L. Phillips, were released from Shanghai's notor ious Ward Road Jail last June 16. Both were convicted by a Red Chinese court on charges of espionage and anti-state activi ties. Bishop James Walsh told the United Press by telephone from Shanghai that the two priests had informed him they will sail aboard the steamer Hamburg to night. The ship is scheduled to arrive here Saturday. Walsh said the two priests, Jesuit missionaries, "had re ceived instructions from their superior to leave China." The priests had said on their release that they would await a decision from their superiors be fore deciding whether to remain in China or return to the West. Walsh said Phillips and Clif ford were "well physically." He said they have "just been taking a rest since their release from prison." The bishop said that the two priests have been "free to see their Chinese friends here." The release of the two priests left 11 other U. S. citizens still in Red Chinese jails. past." The Tribune said the crash should "hasten development of a new, precise system for con trolling all plane traffic on de mestic airways." The New York Times said "whether or not the two passen ger planes that now lie at the bottom of the Grand Canyon collided in midair, the need for better aerial traffic control has long been apparent." It said "considering the statistics, it is evident that the rules for the regulation of air traffic need not only revision but closer integra tion with communications sys tems on the ground and in the air." The New York Herald Tribune called for "searching investiga tion" into the crash and urged special emphasis on "flight plans that would avoid such dangerous proximity and on the use of ra dar a must on any commercial' plane." t. Plane Density The Scripps - Howard New York World-Telegram and Sun said the inquiries should not stop with fixing blame but "must pro ceed to the transcending ques tion of what to do about teeming air traffic under operational conditions that seemingly cannot catch up with plane density." The Washington Post and Times Herald said experts "have been bitterly complaining about the obsolescence and inadequacy of the present methods of air traffic control." It said "The Grand Canyon catastrophe sug gests that the possibility of colli sion in midflight can no longer be ignored anywhere." The San Francisco Chronicle said "The ingenuity and techni cal proficiency of the nation must now be directed toward evolving a traffic control system fitting the needs of the day."

Maybe along a Mississippi delta or in a street canyon of New York or Boston or Philadelphia. Maybe it came to him on a pony's back in Oklahoma or New Mexico or on the sun-hot seat of a combine in Kansas or Nebraska. Wherever he may have been when the thought came to him is of little consequence. But the thought itself is of the essence: This is America the land of freedom and opportunity where a boy can grow up to be his own man. And so on this anniversary of American Inde pendence, we greet and congratulate him the man of commerce, the lawyer, the physician, the rancher, the banker, the actor, the politician, the statesman the self-made man of accomplishment in every line of human endeavor. We know him well and along with our con gratulations on his success, we should like to register our sense of gratitude. For such are the owners of Cadillacs the men whose approval made the "Standard of the World" so famous everywhere. It is a rare privilege to know these men to sell them their cars and to render them the type of service they so richly deserve. We feel it is appropriate to acknowledge it, most gratefully, on this occasion when Americans do honor to their great nation and its unparalleled freedom of personal opportunity.
