S4.0 y mall monUi fl.00 By mall , year W OO Member, Aaioolatad Preie Member Audit Bureau Circulation PI EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THE ruckus between General Omar Bradley and Legion Commander John Stelle has quieted down after some strong hints that hospital sites had someuung to do with the Legion chief's dissatisfaction with the way the general is running the vet erans administration. There have been some southern Oregon repercus sions, with a Medford paper directing a jab at the general on the hospital site question, and a Grants Pass group en dorsing Stelle'i criticism. President Truman, on the other hand, has backed up General Bradley's administration of veteran affairs. There probably is some room for criticism of the veterans administration. There probably always will be. It's an enormous job, and no one is going to do it perfectly. We are not prepared to say Mr. Stelle is all wet in every particular. , However, General Bradley drove home a hard blow with the suggestion that Stelle is sore because a particular Illinois site he had backed for a veterans' hospital did not. get the call. If that has anything to do with the Legion chief's gripe and we , know enough about' human nature and community competi tion for government plums that we are sure it "could be" Steele is on unsound ground and his position will not stand the test for disinter ested, constructive criticism. What he has to say that is constructive will be 'discredited by the local and personal feature of his discon tent. . . Airport Problems AMONG communities struggling with the reverted airport problem is Salem. Mc Nary field there has been returned to the municipality by the army, and the city' is now working out the details of municipal adminis tration. Because Klamath is confronted with similar problems, the following editorial from the Salem Capital-Journal is of interest: "The city of Salem got off to a good start In the matter of converting its municipal airport facilities on McNary field from their wartime status to commercial .operation Monday night when the council authorized the appointment of G. Wallace Hug as manager and superin tendent of the port. Hug, a resident of Salem for 20 years prior to the war, is exceptionally, well qualified by training and experience for the job of developing the field into a smoothly functioning community service utility. "As a pilot, trained at Randolph field, then with the Canadian airforce and later with the United States naval 'aviation corps, he has amassed more than 2400 hours of flying time, has seen service as a flying instructor and bomb test pilot and immediately prior to his release from the U. S, navy as operations officer at the Whidby Island naval air station on Puget Sound. "Given the support of the council and its air port committee and that of a well balanced ad visory group, appointment of which has been authorized, by the council, Hug is capable of putting McNary field into the forefront of such municipal facilities on the Pacific coast. Well situated and wcjl equipped with runways, taxiways, lighting equipment and all of the physical properties which enter into the mak ing of a class A airport, the field has every thing needed for smooth operation except that it lacks adequate administration offices and construction of these has been authorized. "The resolution directing Mayor Dougliton to appoint an airport advisory committee of five civilian members provides for their ap pointmcnt to serve staggered terms of office to insure a continuing stability of administra tive policies in connection with the field and its operation. The mayors selections should be made with extreme care and his appointees chosen with the view to securing a farsightcd group of advisers capable of long range plan nlng and establishment of the airport on' a self-sustaining business basis. Their task will be that of making McNary field render the service which the community is justified, in asking and which will keep Salem abreast of the times in this rapidly developing age of air transportation." The World Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press World Traveler ORUSSELS, Feb. 8 On February 17 Belgium D will hold her first general election since 1939, and the political .complexion of the new parliament is likely to determine the fate of King Leopold, who is fighting doggedly to re tain his throne. This is the second of these royal campaigns your team of globetrotters has encountered, for Don Juan's crusade boiled up while we were in Spain recently. Leopold's future is so un certain that predictions are definitely out of order because, forsooth, the structure of the new parliament is uncertain. The position Is this: the 1939 parliament, the last elected, was composed of 73 Catholics, 64 socialists, 33 liberals, 17 Flemish nationalists, nine communists, four Rexists and two inde pendents. While the Catholic party had the largest number of seats, the last government was a coalition of socialists, liberals and com munists, who had 106 of the 202 votes. e e e e Catholics Support Leopold THE Catholic party is supporting Leopold, while the coalition government thus far has had thumbs down on his majesty. Thus it will be seen that we must know the outcome of the election before the king's future is clear. It strikes me personally that if Leopold had come through the war with the same standing his revered father, King Albert, had at the end of the last conflict, his chances of ruling the Belgians again would be first class. But Leopold surrendered to- the Germans at the outset of the war, while In the previous conflict his father and mother retreated with their army into a tiny corner of Belgium on the coast near La Panne, and there fought the enemy through more than four yean of ter rible hardship. I was frequently at Belgium headquarters during World War I and can testify from per sonal observation to the magnificent service rendered by King Albert and his queen. I know, too, that Leopold will remember the frenzied joy with which the Belgians wel comed the return of the royal family to the capital, for 1 saw the triumphal progress of the ; king and queen and their children on horse back through the seething cheering crowds and Leopold was riding his little pony with his brother and sister behind their parents. He never will forget that day and he must recog nize that his position now is far different from that of his father. Hess Taken III At Trial NUERNBERG, Feb. 6 UP) Rudolf Hess, one of the defend ants at the war crimes trial, was taken ill during the noon recess today and was removed from the court building to a cell for medi' cal examination. Hess was stirred to unusual excitement yesterday by the Brit ish presentation of the case against him. The British prose cution said tiess new to England in witn tne avowed pur pose of overthrowing the Chur. chill government and paving the way for a German-dictated peace. He read a book during most of this morning's court session while the Soviet chief prosecu tor was making a 20,000-word statement. Officials said Hess had suf fered a minor attack of abdomi nal cramos and would be al lowed to rest in his cell during tuw aiieraoon. . Klamath Men Will Attend Ford Meet.
