A QUICK examination of the report of the
"- CAB examiner, who astounded us by recom
mending Bend and leaving Klamath Falls off a
r; through airline, indicates that
S-JUamath was possibly cursed
by having too many lines
apanxious to serve it.
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

. 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.

! place Klamath would touch

'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.

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

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.

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.

"Cnn society become poorer

brought out by E. 11. Thmmvsoii,

tlonnl financial situation, now,
with some forecast at to what
might be tho future of the coun
try following the war. He men
tioned some Interesting figures
which he said were uboul six
months old.
"The nntlonnl debt now Is two
hundred and sixty billion dol

is Increasing nt the rate of fifty
billion dollars per yenr.
"The nntlonnl income now Is
$163 billion, compared with $172
billion in 11)30."
Comparing per cnpltu taxes
and debts under various admin
istrations, -Thompson pointed
out that during George Wash
ington's presidency, per capita
tux was $1.02 and the per cap
ita debt $20.95. During Andrew
Jackson's administration the per
capita tax was $2.42 and the
debt only .03c, as compared
with Franklin D. Roosevelt's ad
ministration when per capita
tax soared to $335.73 and per
capita debt to $1962, increasing
at the rate of $377.14 per cap
ita per year.
"During the past 14 and a
half months the government has
spent as much, money as in the
previous 14 years," Thompson
sadi. "Taxes colected during the

were collected during the Inst
50 years. Taxes colected during
