S Two big through carriers, ""'and several smaller feeder out ., fits, wanted to come into ; Klamath Falls, a comparative f;ly large city, with industrial jand agricultural development !promising heavy business in ,Jair passengers, air express and airmail. iy Klamath has all the naviga- tion aids and an airport with 7000 foot paved JjJ runways, landing lights, radio facilities, control it tower, etc., comparing with the airports at such jj cities as New York and Washington, D. C. Bend, .' which was recommended for through plane f service, is a smaller city, in a smaller trade .2 area, and has an airport with two dirt runways 'with a maximum usable length of 3100 feet, ; no lights, no weather station, and without other ' facilities comparing with those at Klamath. ; Yet Bend was recommended as a stop on ' : United's through line, and Klamath was kept off. Klamath instead was proposed as a feeder line route. . r Bend's Situation HERE is what the examiner had to say about . Bend's situation: "United requested authority to provide service to Bend, Oregon, on route No. 11 pointing out that it can be served with few additional flight miles. Bend, with a population of 10,021 is east of the Cascades and has little community of interest with the Willamette valley cities to the west. Its strong community of interest is , with Portland. The sparsity of population '"around Bend prevents its authorization on a 'r' local route and it is significant that none of '.' the new applicants proposing service in this ' area requested Bend as an intermediate point. ' Air service by United will give direct service ;! to the entire west coast and its authorization "'"'.Is recommended on a temporary basis." ;!: In other words. Bend didn't have enough to IT E (Continued From Page One) intermediate point between San rTancisco- ana .Portland. Feeder Line . The examiner did recommend J.that Klamath Falls be given ...service by Southwest Airways, " a new' airline outfit which has been in the business of running 5 flight training programs for United Nations. Vj The route on which he would ! place Klamath would touch Portland, Hillsboro, Forest Orove, Oregon City, Newberg, . " McMinnville, Woodburn, Silver s ton, Salem. Dallas. Indeoend. ence, Albany, Corvallis, Junc- - non ity, x.ugene, uotiage - Grove, Roseburg, Grants Pass, 'j; Medford and Klamath Falls at the southern end. Smaller towns """On this route would get only pick-up service for mail, with ; out stops. j ! Southwest would also be per " mitted to establish similar serv ice south from Medford to serve numerous California towns. The examiner turned down a r -proposal from Nevada Pacific .i Airlines that would have con nected Klamath Falls with Med- lora, on the west, Alturas, Susan- vine, neno ana otner Nevada cities on the south, and Lake- view, Burns, Ontario and Boise ! on the east. j In recommending that South t.west be granted the right to i '.'-serve this city, the examiner f ; pointed out the importance of ( giving the local feeder line all ; the business, and not dividing it ! 5, with United. Elsewhere in the report, he said he recommended f , Bend for a United through line t .,. stop, because no local feeder line i wanted to serve it. I .

July 21. 1945 applicants, so It got a through KLAMATH, on the other hand, was named in proposals by half a dozen companies, one of them Southwest Airways, which puts this town on the end of a leg connecting it with Medford and a series of towns up the Portland. The examiner recom Southwest be granted the service If Klamath had been less attractive it would apparently have a better chance with this examiner for through line service. This is in deed a strange situation in which we find our that the examiner seeks to give Southwest Airways exclusively, in make Southwest Airways opera' tions more economically feasible. He doesn't want to divide Klamath's business between Southwest, the feeder line, and United, the means, of course, is that the just through line needs of this com' be sacrificed for the purpose of feeder line. find in the examiner's report any such analysis of the Klamath Falls situation as is given to that of Bend. In fact, there are examiner doesn't know too much about the situation of this city, and it is of course the duty of the community to take care of this deficiency in representations to the Civil Board. Klamath Falls is large enough for both through and feeder routes. We have no ob jection to being on the Southwest Airways route, but it should not replace through route service here. Furthermore, Southwest's route, connect ing us with Rogue, Umpqua and Willamette valley towns, is not of such vital importance to us as the examiner seems to think. Our principal community of interest is with San Francisco and Portland and beyond. We do have trade relationships with Medford, and Southwest will be helpful in this respect, and to a lesser degree, helpful in connecting us with the other towns along the west side. A valuable feeder line would be one that connected Klamath Falls with such points as Alturas, Susanville, Lakeview and Burns towns with which we do have close trade re lationships and for which Klamath Falls should be a main line connecting point. That must be done, and we must begin now to fight for it. One applicant in the current case, one air line, Nevada-Pacific, does propose service be tween Klamath Falls and all of these points. It was adversely recommended, again indi cating a lack of understanding on the part of the examiner of the needs of this area. He based his reasoning on Klamath Falls, Medford and Alturas hotel registrations in Reno. Evi dently, he didn't consider Alturas, Lakeview, Susanville, and Medford hotel reservations in Klamath Fa,lls. The examiner has merely recommended, and CAB must decide. We must make a strong case for through service and we must get our trade area situation before the board. good case, if we can present it get fair consideration. ey lUfflf, OBT WASHINGTON, July 21 VP) The navy and the office of de fense transportation have pro tested that the army stepped up the return of troops from Eu rope without advance notice with consequent swamping of transportation facilities. This was disclosed in the sen ate today during a general ex change' precipitated when Sen ator Lucas (D-Ill.) took to task those he said had criticized the army for bringing men back too fast. Lucas said the senate war in vestigating committee had been holding closed hearings and had not given the army a chance to make its side of the story public. "I would rather have Ameri can boys in camps over here than in Europe," Lucas said. Chairman Mead (D-N.Y.) of the war investigating committee interrupted to say that Col. J. Monroe Johnson, director of transportation, had advised that the army "brought 100,000 more than they told him they would." Navy Not Informed "The secretary of the navy also told us he was not inform ed and that he thought it was some of his business," Mead added. Senator Kileore (D-W.Va.) a member of the Mead committee, put in that men could not be put into American camns if there was no rail transoorta- tion available from port cities. "There would be the biggest howl in the world if you dumped 4000 men on the streets of New York with no way to net nome, ne saia. . Mead said it "would be much better if the army, navy and ODT got together" and added that he thought they would. i-.ucas saia troops are now arriving at the rate of 4000 a day. The war department advises me that this rate will soon be stepped up," he added. If it's a "frozen" article you need, advertise for a used one In the classified. Farmers Attention!

Rayon mills and waterfront installa tions were hit in suburban Ku- shikino and Miyakonojo. Thirty five Thunderbolts roved south ward to the little mineral island of Iwo and attacked sulphur mines, phosphate works and roads. Iwo is in the Osumi islands, just off southern Ky ushu and far to the northeast of Iwo Jima. Hit Airdrome Liberators hit the giant Miho airdrome on southern Honshu and swept over Tomitaka air strips on the cast central coast of Kyushu.; ' j , Twenty of the big B-24s struck Formosa, setting the Mat suyama airfield on fire and de stroying tws grounded planes and railway rolling stock and storage dumps on Wednesday. Seventh fleet Liberators rang ed over Hainan island and pa trolled the Indo-Chinese coast line, wrecking locomotives and rolling stock and hitting a small freighter off Nha Trang. Liber ators of the fifth air force bombed a factory area at Can ton, China, setting a number of fires. The Tokyo radio acknowledg ed that the psychological effects of American bombings on the Japanese home front were "sur prisingly strong" and complain ed that the attacks were "so complicated that they cannot be anticipated from experience or the common' sense gained so far." The speaker said a single B 29 raided Tokyo yesterday and cited it as an example of "sneak tactics" aimed at creating con fusion. Aussie Missions Despite a relative lull on the Borneo front while Australian troops consolidated their posi tions around the newly-won Sambodja oil field, more than 25 Aussie Spitfires and Kitty hawks bombed and strafed San dakan on the northeastern coast, while a pair of Liberators dam aged a small freighter and river craft in the Mahakam river estuary.
