murder is executed anyway
by just the forces the quintet
wishes to blame.
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.

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.

Western Senators Projected
Into Airport Aid Controversy
By A. 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

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.
