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!"

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.
