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
