Lake, Modoc and 8tktyoa CouaUea Aviation Policy THE community objectives for aviation development, on which both the city airport commission and the chamber of commerce committee are in general agree ment, emphasizes commercial airline and private avia tion encouragement. . . This is sound policy. It does not mean that this com munity is uninterested in military aviation here. Both offi cial and civic effort has been given to encouraging and assisting in every way possible in the development of military use of the facilities here. Under actual wartime conditions, however, what is done locally has little effect on military decisions, which are presumably based oil general strategy. Klamath Falls aviation enthusiasts, we are sure, will continue to give every possible cooperation to the military authorities. In this connection, it is worth noting that local author ities immediately signed over to the army a lease on the local airport when it was asked for by army officials. This lease has never been executed by the army. What the military authorities may do in the future regarding the Klamath field is not known here. In the meantime, however, commercial development is an objective toward which local effort may be directed. Klamath Falls how has a fine field, on which approxi mately $1,000,000 has now been spent in developing ade quate paved runways, lighting and other facilities. The field is now ready for full use by commercial airlines. Klamath Falls lies back of the second range of moun-. tains in relation to the coast, it is out of the military zone where private flying is prohibited, and it lies on a most favorable route for coastwise' flying. It is logical that commercial airlines should want to come this way at this time. Development of beam facilities through here is all that is needed to open the way for this sensible move. The city airport commission deserves commendation for the work it has done to bring about development of the Klamath field. The policies on which it and the cham ber aviation committee are m agreement should soon bear fruit Aviation represents an important phase of civic effort and community development. OP A Tightens Restrictions On New Auto Purchasing New automobile purchase certificates will not be granted hereafter . to applicants who since January 1 have disposed of cars adequate for their needs. Test of the adequacy of such cars will be the same as it would if they were currently owned by-the applicants, unless there were justifying circum- stances at the time they were disposed of, the Office of Price Administration announced to day. This change in the new passenger automobile rationing regulations is made by amend ment No. 15, effective Sept. 3. The same amendment also makes a number of other tech nical revisions, as follows: I. Unrestricted sale of new cars used personally by in ductees into the armed forces of the United States will be per mitted hereafter only when it becomes : certain that the seller actually will enter- the service. ' 2. Hereafter, members of the armed forces who acquire new automobiles after they have entered the service will be per mitted to transfer them sub sequently only . to certificate holders or to members of their own families. 3. When a business changes hands, new passenger automo biles that are a part of the bulk assets may be transferred along with the other assets, without certificate, if they are for use in operation of the business and were principally used in the same service by the former owner. 4. An insurance company, that recovers a stolen car to which it has acquired title by reason of payment of indemnity, may transfer the car back to the in sured without certificate, if the insured has not acquired or been authorized to amirim new car meanwhile.. . Col. Hegenberger Named to Second Bomber Command FORT GEOBOE wnircwr Wash., Sept. 3 (JP Col. Albert jr.

' IVJaj. Gen. Robert Olds, sec ond air force commander, an nounced today. Colonel Hegen berger would succeed Brig. Gen. Henry L. Eubank, who was or dered to Washington for duty in the headquarters of the army air forces. The new bomber . chief has been at Fort Weight for three weeks as assistant chief of staff in the operations section of the second air force. Stop Signs Posted At Grade Crossings SALEM, Sept. 3 (JP) The slate highway commission an nounced today that stop signs have been posted at the 32 grade crossings on Oregon state highways. The Oregon Railroad associa tion has indicated it would ask cities and counties to take simi lar action on the more than 300 crossings on city streets and county roads. The commission said that the number of grade crossing acci dents would be reduced by re quiring motorists to stop at all main-line crossings. Registration for Voters to Close On October 3 SALEM, Sept. 3 (TO The state department said today that registration books for the Nov ember 3 general election will close in all counties on October 3. Persons who should register are those who hv nnf vm&a in the past two elections, those who have changed their ad dresses since last rpcltorlro those who have changed their pomicai atmiaiions, and those becoming 21 years of age. SIDE GLANCES m ' f 1 1 1 i ; mm 7? I Witt v- WAX "I Jiope the rest of you children spent your summer as profitably as Wilbur!

"The Army turned 'em down, but they've, cheered up since they started, telling stamps!" WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 1 stepped inadvertently into all the hidden.hates of this coun try in some recent columns, try- ing to clear up the most foolish popular misunderstandings of what we are fighting for. On this desk, piled high and strewn about, is the evidence of all the. minor ity bitterness of people against people, group against group . . Labor hatred of the boss . . . The anti-Semites ha tred of the Jews and vice versa ... The anti Roosevelt ha treds,, the new Paul Mallon deal hatreds of business . . . The communist or radical hatred of all opposition, including advo cates of democracy whom they call "fascist-minded nazis ' Mother hatred of war . . . The ha- Trea enguumg the negro ques tion on all sides . . . The hate against Washington and its lead' ership . , . The hate-prosecutions by government against particu lar groups of people it does not like, the Kaisers, the Chicago Tribune, the Associated Press . With the world In flames, here they all are in one representative heap, requiring hours of read' ing the pet personal and group bitterness, the freely spoken hates of a free people, not just on one side of every question of the day, but on both sides of It, equally strong, deeprooted. un thinking. Even those who accuse others -of hate and especially mose radiate nate themselves, WHAT HITLER WANTS This situation, of course. Is what Hitler and Japan are de pending upon to win. They make no secret of their strategy. It is blared forth daily on the Berlin and Tokyo radios. They know they are not ca pable of mustering armed strength equal to a nation as rich and powerful as ours. Their ini tial surprise having -failed, and unable to reach us across the seas with their ships and planes. they openly rely on us to defeat ourselves. They tell ther own people and iney ten us that our own dissen sions, our internal conflicts, our hates for each other, will bring us to our doom. What to do about it? I would say nothing, absolutely nothing, except to tell about it, to let everyone know about it. Just stop pretending it does not exist, and recognize it for what it Is, but for no more, and no less than it is, as shown In my mall. Primarily this mall shows our Internal hates are restricted to minorities. A minority of labor hates the boss, the minority rep resented by strikes, slowdowns, racketeering. The unions themselves repre sent minority of labor in this country, and the offensive, ob structionist groups are only a minority of the unions. These letters suggest SS per cent of the workers of this country are ready to make personal sacri fices to win, So also with the mothers. .')' MINORITIES Of MINORITIES may surprise you more to learn that both the Jews and the anti-Semites have just, about the same variety of likes- and dis likes for each other, and to about the same degree. Those who really hate, are minorities of these minorities on both sides. For instance, one Cleveland Jew wrote me: "I read your articles with the same distaste, disapproval and detestation with which I used to listen to the hate-inspired radio orations of Father Coughlin." A hundred Jews wrote or tele graphed in the vein of one from nearby Toledo: "You deserve congratulations for the fine," clear and conserve tive manner in which you an swer - the confused correspon dents." Reason always cancels out nonsense. On the one hand, we have agi tators screaming in a magazine about "Americans We Can Do Without," and they enjoy a fol lowing about equal apparently to extremists on the other side who seem to want to crush every Jew, under the impression that au Jews are the same, although a spare sincere thought will tell them the range among Jews Is about the same as every other group, some good, some bad. . LOUD TALK xne otner hottest haters are small minorities, also. They cre ate the impression they are not, because they are so loud in what they say. Even the business haters, still left in government, seem to have been somewhat becalmed by recent events, and the gov ernment group which wanted to purge the nation of its social op ponents has largely subsided.- A trend toward common sense and reasonableness is notable here. Despite all the noise, there fore, I would say hate is on the decline. - I would say the mail shows the haters on both sides are edging themselves toward back seats, if they have not al ready dropped off the rear fen der. This is not true of one group, the group of those who are an gry at Washington inefficiencies, politicking and procrastination. but. these are. not really valid first class Grade A haters. They do not belong with the others. They are Just impatient to get on with the war, and Washington is not . doing enough to suit them. If the truth could be known, this group would probably include everyone in Washington, and, even, to some extent, Mr. Roose velt 'himself. This Impatience Is constructive, It provides healthful kicks in the pants for laggard officals, not mean, low loathesome destructive hate. It will help to win. HATE BOOMERANGS Don't forget this, all von haters: Hate alone breeds hate. ' Bit terness alone can make bitter ness. If you want to radiate it, you are pretty apt to get a full dose in return. Also you are making a big mistake if . you think you can get a majority of the American people Into your mood, while there Is a world fire to put out. I did not read . the magazine articles some readers called to my attention about "Americans We Can Do Without," but I as. sume they attack the same hate- HOW SHE SWIPS CASH AND CARRV nnnom rainrm BeKcne W" IwknM Mnr mllnm Utv u1s bwki Auiekly, one. tW 1kvm tb" lh i m dw' Mp "' "W " "l"" KU'' i.UCMMlulljr by Slljlw for ever lb II foiltl ftf vidttey lubM jjiih wit pcfjon. .WW. w- cm v iifmt ful nonentities I ho agitators have been shooting at so hate fully themselves, lo these many months.
