USAF Regulation Out lines
Ways Of Naming Air Bases
By MAX WAl'CHOPE
What will be the official name
of the Klamath Fills Municipal
Airport when the U.S. Air Force
units are stationed here and be
come fully operational?
Tnls question has been asked by
numerous residents locally since
195 when Congress authorized the
establishment ol USAF Jet all'
weather fighter-interceptor unit
here.
As explained In the February 35
Issue of the Air Force Timea, un
official spokesman for the Air
Force, there's more to pickini a
name for an air base than Just
palming a sign at the front gate
of the Installation.
JOINT OPERATION
It has been explained by Air
Force officers acquainted wilh the
USAF regulations that an air base
which la a Joint operation such as
the Klamath Falls base will be Is
not named as an Air Force base.
In olhtf words, it retains its civil
ian name such as "Klamath Falls
Municipal Airport" or "Portland
Municipal Airport." These are
both airports used jointly by the
House To Get
Road Tax Bill
Washington on a bin to
raise gasoline, tire and other high
way excise taxes will go before
tile Hou with an added starter
a special registration fee for
heavy trucks.
The House Ways and Means
Committee, which voted for the
truck tax Wednesday, estimated
It will add too million dollars to
the proposed new taxes, raising
me total during tne next 16 years
to neany it billion dollars.
The money, along with the yield
from present highway taxes, Is to
be used for a long-range road
building program with emphasis
on a 40,000-mile network of stra
teste Interstate highways. Present
and projected taxes will make an
estimated 138.700,000,000 available
as the federal share of the 61
billion dollar program.
Rep. Ileed IY, senior Repub
lican on the committee, proposed
Hit truck tax. A bill without it,
he said, would be "completely un
fair" to ordinary motorists.
It would impose a yearly regis
tration fas of ll.to per 1,000
pounds for all trucks weighing
over 20,000 pounds, based on either
the weight of the unloaded truck
or on ita licensed carrying ca
pacity, whichever is greater. The
weight limit was fixed to make it
apply to heavy commercial trucks,
of which there are about 100,000.
Other provisions of the bill would
apply uniformly to all vehicles re
gardless of size or weight.
They would raise the gasoline
and diesel fuel tax from a to 3
cents a gallon; the tire tax from
S to 8 cents a pound; and the tax
on trucks, buses and trailers from
I to 10 per cent of value: .nH

Air Force and civilian agencies or
municipalities.
The Air Force only names bases
which it controls and maintains
in their entirety; such as Hamilton
Air Force Base, California and Mc
Chord AFB. Washington.
POHNIBILITV
Of course. It Is within the realm
of possibility that someday the
Klamath Falls Base will have
grown to the point where the USAF
assumes total control In this case
the base would probably be named
in accordance with the then cur
rent USAF regulations.
If this ever becomes a reality,
then quite possibly the local base
could be namrd after some local
deceased Air Force member who
had distinguished himself in war
time or had made some other out
standing contribution to the Air
Force.
Only these deceased heroes are
to be picked as base namesakes,
according to a new Air Force regu
lation No. 000-9 and then only with
tne approval of the Air Force and
ylth suitable ceremonies.

Richard Nixon Reported Election Year Storm Center
WASHINGTON (UP Vice
President Richard M. Nixon la to
day's election-year storm center,
If he is forced off the 195 Re
publican presidential ticket, a like
ly aubstitute would ba former Gov.
1 Thomas E. Dewey, of New York.
Dewey probably would accept.
Some of Nixon's friends fear that
the movement to bounce blm got
a green light Wednesday in Presi
dent Elsenhower's announcement
that he would accept renomination
but leave the selection of a vice-
president up to the Republican Na
tional convention.
Some of Nixon's adverse critics
read it the other way as a solid
endorsement of the vice president.
The facts are that Mr. Eisen
hower emphatically praised Nix
on's ability and his performance
as vice president but refused to
commit himself when asked if he
wanted him on the ticket again.
Time for that, said the President,
Is after the Republican National
Convention has nominated a presi
dential candiaate.
Mr. Eisenhower's refusal to com
mit himself on a running mate la
sufficient to put new muscle and
enthusiasm in the organized effort
to ditch Nixon. Some of the Presi
dent's longtime military associates
and more recent golf cronies are
active in the movement against
the vice president.
They will get some Immediate
encouragement, at least, from Mr.
Eisenhower's repudiation Wednes
day of Nixon's recent reference to
Chief Justice Earl Warren as a
Republican chief Justice. Nixon so
described Mr. Warren in remark
ing on the Supreme Court'a racial
Integration ruling.
Nixon is primarily on the spot,
however, because of public opinion :
of Mr. Eisenhower's Septem
ber heart attack. The fact of that
seizure inescapably leads to un-;
usual speculation whether the I
President would survive to com
plete a second term. Moreover, the
President la 5 yesrs old snd would
be 70 on leaving office after a
second term.
Nixon has been an acutely con
troversial political figure from the
outset of his congressional career
when he was a prime factor In the
exposure which led to the convic
tion of Alger Hiss on perjury
charges growing out of denial of
his association with the Commu.
nist Party.

Wage Increase
WASHINGTON OB-More than
two million lower-paid workers
got a pay Increase today, courtesy
of the U.S. government.
The pay hikes came through a
boost in the federal minimum
wage from 7S cents te II an hour.
It was voted by Congress last
year to become effective today.
An estimated 24 million work
ers are covered by terms of the
Fair Labor Standnrris Act gen
erally those engaged or whose
work Is connected with Interstate
commerce but only about 2 loo
000 have been making less than
the new 11 minimum.
Although the maximum required
Pay boost could be 25 cents an
hour, the Labor Department Im
ured the average Increase would
be 1J cents an hour, or an esti
mated 560 million dollars a year
Many oi these benefiting have
been making more than the old
76-cent minimum, which had been
In effect for six years.

announced his decision at a news
conterence. but before he told
nationwide radio-TV audience last
night he is "confident that I can

The comment crossed party
lines. Mrs. Alice Davis, a Demo

Elsenhower will win because the
people are behind him and "he's
