However, Thursday night's Playhouse 90, Reginald Rose's "A Quiet Game of Cards," did not create illusion, but im posture. It was not so much a game of cards as it was a house of cards.

There was much mumbling at the close about "the flow of history" and what Rose was trying to say, I suppose, is that good men should not commit evil to destroy evil -that eventually evil will des troy itself. Fine and wise and com mendable. But the trouble with "A Quiet Game of Cards" is that its bones rested on sand. The decision of the five to murder was not entire ly convincing. The type of murder they planned was un believable. And the final twist of the play was cheap voodoo, a convenience on the part of Rose who was trying to juice his climax with irony, but succeeded only in tacking on a grotesquerie.

FROM HOLLAND r Medford's Bargain Corner Sixth and Central labor leaders. President Eisen hower sent a personal mes sage to the association saying "the progress of our country and its constructive influence among the nations of the world depend upon the steady improvement of American ed ucation." A wide range of subjects has been discussed, including teacher salaries, teacher sup ply and where to find the money with which to finance America's schools in the com ing years of rapid growth of population. ONE subject that as this is written hasn't been dis cussed is this: How can we stimulate among our young people of school age MORE INTEREST IN KNOWLEDGE? Not just enough miscella neous information, temporar ily crammed into the skull, to enable the student to pass from one school grade to an other. KNOWLEDGE in the sense of the dictionary definition which reads: "That which s gained and PRESERVED by knowing; enlightenment; learning; also, broadly, the sum of information conserved by civilization." THE importance of KNOWL EDGE has been recognized by all the great men of all time. The Bible (Proverbs XXIV, 5) says: "A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge in creaseth strength." i Francis Bacon, one of the GREAT thinkers, said: "Knowledge is POWER." Samuel Johnson said: "Knowl edge is more than equivalent to force." Thomas Huxley said: "If a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man wno nas so mucn as 10. ue uui of danger." ONE could go on indefinitely quoting the great thinkers on the importance of knowl edge. If we could inspire our young people, from the first grade on up through high school and the universities, with a THIRST FOR KNOWL EDGE, more or less all the "problems" of education, about which we are hearing so much these days, would disappear.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington . Correspondent Washington - Oregon's two senators, and most other west ern senators, are being pro jected into the first major contest which is shaping up in Congr ess between the Eisenho w e r a d m i nistra tion and those Democrats the President has labeled as A. Robe Smith . j spenders. The issue that is drawing the contrast is the airport aid act under which the federal government has for some years helped the states or .lo cal authorities finance new and improved airport facili ties. Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex.) has called first for action on a bill being sponsored by 44 senators (all but' , four are Democrats) to extend for five more years and enlarge the government's aviation aid pro gram. Sen. Richard L. Neu berger is a co-sponsor of this bill and Sen. Wayne Morse is supporting it. The administration has come up with a counter pro posal to reduce the federal grants to the states over the next four years and then end the program by turning fur ther airport construction and improvement work over en tirely to the states. This is one of the President's proposals for reducing federal spending in the future. Oregon's Needs According to the Federal Aviation Agency, Oregon's aviation needs would cost about $9,659,000 over the next four years. This figure is based on estimates com piled by field men for the FAA (this agency was previ ously called the Civil Aero nautics Administration). Under the Democrats' bill (S.l), Oregon would be enti tled to $7,739,340 in federal airport aid funds over the five-year extension of the act. Under the administration bill, Oregon would be entitled to $1,771,444 over four years. The matching fund require ments would not be altered under either bill. Oregon would get 62Vi per cent in federal funds and be required to put up 37V per cent lo cally. This ratio applies to those states which have five per cent or more of their area taken up by public lands. The non-public land states match 50-50. Under the Democrats' bilL Alaska would get a special benefit even though it has be come a state-it would need put up only 25 per cent to 75 per cent advanced by the fed eral government. , Program Held Outmoded Gen. Elwood R. Quesada, head of FAA, claims the $575 million program the Demo crats are pushing is "outmod ed, too high in cost and poorly designed to fulfill the proper area of federal responsibility in meeting airport develop ment needs." He testified that the administration's. $200 mil lion program would "modern ize and streamline the present law" and result in lower costs to the taxpayers. He said it provides for "an orderly with drawal from the airport grant program." , Federal aid for airport building began in the 1930s with various relief programs, notably WPA. Since then, $2, 681,000,000 in funds and fed eral property have gone into building civilian airports. Quesada points out that states and local communities are now spending money to attract new business and stimulate tourism. In this con text, he said it "seems reason able to me to expect on in creasing level of community IGNORE ANNIVERSARY Frankfurt,- Germany - (UPD - Twenty-six years ago today Adolf Hitler became chancel lor of Germany and the Third Reich was born. The anniver sary was ignored by the Ger man people. EMBARRASSING New York-IUPD-Mayor Rob ert F. Wagner and his com mittee for Thursday's lunch eon honoring Argentine Presi dent Arturo Frondizi were slightly embarrassed when Frondizi noticed the Argen tine coat of arms on the menu was printed upside down. fr i i ii rjjjn ipnni and state support for some thing as vital to their inter ests as airport development." The government will con tinue to assume the full, bur den of air safety improve ments, such as expensive elec tronic equipment, as well as subsidies to airlines, Quesada pointed out. He said this made it more important for local and state authorities to take over the full burden of air port construction. Testimony Favorable Much of the testimony be fore the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Commit tee was favorable to the Dem ocrats' bill. The U. S. Confer ence of Mayors, for example, took the position that "the plain uncontradicted facts are CHIFFON FACIAL TISSUES Boxes 400 SL df The Chocolated taxotive 88 SAVES SAVE 514 $i.4 si..
