Aaaoolated Preaa Member Audit Bureau Circulation I 1K :l r; res Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY CITY officials are looking cautiously at a proposed lease of the municipal airport hv the navy, which thus far has operated on the field by city permission but without a lease. V This week, the city received a copy of the suggested lease, and navy officials will be here shortly to talk it over with them. There is no disposition here, of course, to object to full navy control of the field for the war period and for six months thereafter. So long as it functions as a feature of the war effort, the local atti tude is that the field should be EPLEY made fully available for that purpose. Further more, it is indicated the navy is willing even during the war period to permit use of the airport landing facilities by scheduled com mercial airlines, and that is about all that can be asked so long as the war continues. e e e Joint Use Possible HOWEVER, there are features of the pro posed lease which seem to give the navy post-war privileges which, if exercised, could virtually tie up the field as a functioning muni cipal airport Those are the lease features which the city airport commission has indicated it wants changed before the city signs the pro verbial dotted line. Airport commissioners and other aviation enthusiasts here have indicated their desire to keep the navy on the field after the war under a fair joint user arrangement. It is now a big field and properly handled it could probably serve navy, commercial and private aviation purposes nicely. That is the objective toward which our sviation interests are working, and a friendly attitude by all hands could undoubt edly bring it to realization. e e e Proportionate Contributions FINE permanent improvements have been made upon the field by the government both before and after navy operations there. ; Some improvements which are semi-permanent should be retained as permanent, such as the steel hangar. The city has been most fortunate in securing these improvements. At the same time, it should be realized that . the people of Klamath Falls have made a considerable financial contribution to the air port Considering the resources of the city of -Klamath Falls and the government of the United States, the city's contribution has un doubtedly been : proportionately greater than that of the federal government, despite' the excellent and extensive government-financed improvements. With this in mind, it would seem that a fair deal for both navy and city could be worked out i Cordon Impresses GUY CORDON made an impression of sin cerity and earnestness at his appearance . uuc me uuiu ujufc which pieasea oo in MtntMlMne Amnm4v hiUa 1 1 tl It was not a fiery speech he made, for he - steered carefully away from anything that niiglit be construed as partisan or campaign talk, lint he gave a sober, straightforward account of the kind constituents deserve to hear from their United States senators. Mr. Cordon is not a professional office-scokor. He came into the Oregon political picture this year by appointment upon the death of Senator Charles L. McNary. Having started in the office, he came out for election to it, and won the republican nomination over former Gov ernor Sprague. His opponent, who was un opposed in the democratic primary, is the one time Klamath mayor, Willis Mahonoy.. Strongly in Cordon's favor is the impression he gives of fundamental fair-mindedness, which appeals to those independent thinkers who foci that this country needs men in public office who do not "belong" to any economic group or faction, but will strive to serve the .interests of all the people. a e e Philosopher THERE has been considerable discussion in the local press at Corvallis and Bend of the abandonment accomplished or in prospect, of Camps Abbot and Adair. Bend has been striv ing desperately to find some other use for Abbot's physical lay-out on the Deschutes, ap parently without success thus far. Corvallis Gazette Times says: "So many things depend upon the point of view. Our business houses generally are feel ing the effects of the vacation of Camp Adair. Yet there are others who are glad to have the sleepy, little college town restored." The paper quotes a letter from one reader who concludes with this bit of interesting phil osophy: "Bigness does not necessarily mean happiness. With Camp Adair on the way out, let us once more cut our cloth to fit our size and start once again making Corvallis the finest little home city in the valley!" e a e e Maybe the nickel cup of coffee is just an OPA dream. Our reporter, after getting a story about the nickel cup from an OPA official, went out with him for coffee. He paid the bill two cups for 20 cents. army, they say, never again will be allowed to deteriorate as it has ill the past. Thus wo are preparing in the future lo main tain ourselves in permanent peace. It seems to me that, in this instance again, we are fooling ourselves. No weapon, no new device of destruction, ever nssurred security to a nation. The French built a Mnginot line, which was impregnable to them. The ancient Chinese built the wall of China which to them was the same thing to their people. Are we not todny being Just as short-sighted in our thinking on defense and our prepara tions for our future security, as were the French, the ancient Chinese, and. In fact, all defenses of every nation In the history of the world. What is security, if it is not walls, navies, planes, armies? What can make a people secure? Only their own ingenuity, in my opinion. Only in the mind of man can he find the stones for impregnable fortifications. Only by con- stant alertness and wise leadership can he pro vide for his safety. e e Wisdom Most Important WISDOM, in my opinion, is more important today than navies, planes and armies, because what good are these if they are not put to superior use. To be static is to be weak, no matter what the sire of the defending force. The minds of the generals .of France, like their people, were confident in their security and, therefore, un- News Behind ihe News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, August 8 Terrors of new weapons of destruction conceived in this war hit the front pages daily. , The robot bomb has now been doubled size. Nazi-bred rumors predict one eventually which will cross the ocean and descend on New York. The Sunday supplement dreams of warfare are supposed to have come true. By these and other new im plements, many of which we ourselves have alertly devel oped through necessity, the people have come to realize that weapons of the future will spread greater destruc tion. Single implements will increasingly kill more and more thousands of persons. The average run of comment holds, therefore, that we must rely heavily on our navy and our air force in the post-war period. We have a navy now reputed at nearly 5 to 1 over Britain, and so many ships in the Pacific, it may prove difficult to assign them all an effective war task. As one naval author ity has told me: e e a e Too Many Ships "XA2 h,vc 50 n8"? sniPs we d0 not know YY- what to do with them." The American air force also will come out of this war the greatest in the world. Our alert to their danger. They had the best wall ever built up to that time. We will have the best dofondlng forco. But It will be useless unless the psychological atti tude of our leaders and our peoplo changes. There must be a new doctrine of realism pro pounded. It must say: "You are nover secure. There is no security in the very nature of things. There never has been. There never will be. That nation main tains Itself longest which is alert, wise, and, therefore, realistic." e e e e Spread Destruction SO also with weapons. There naver was a weapon mde in the history of the world for which there was no adequate or superior answer. These robots might spread greater destruction than shells, and they may grow larger and larger, but an answer will be found for them. The only lesson of science In this war Is that methods of destruction are rapidly now omplify ing their field of operations. Is the answer not then plain? Ships, planes and guns we may need aplenty. Pacts, divisions of territory, splitting of Europe into small separate parts may be devised. But what good are any or all of these things If they are not wisely concolved on a basis of realism, and constantly, alertly administered. Politics may be shrewd and develop high sounding palliatives. Warriors may devise greater and greater defenses and weapons. But what we need is wisdom and ceaseless alertness -"something for which we do not seem to be searching very hard. in MALLON Boys Planning To Go to Camp To Meet Sunday Boys who are going to Boys' Camp, sponsored by the city rec reation committee are to meet at 8 a. m.
