WYNNE The expression "money from Heaven" is well known to every' one. Freely translated it means mon ey from an unexpected source with little or no strings attached. Federal matching funds have come to be known by those unin formed on such things as "mon ey from Heaven." ft is not. Any money that comes from the federal government is money right out of your own pocket. And, it doesn't come without strings attached. Anytime you be gin dealing with the federal gov ernment, you begin dealing wun : countless bureaus, requirements, red tape and reports. Let's take the case of the new airport terminal for Klamath Falls as a case in point. Consideration of a new terminal began when facilities at the pres ent structure became completely Inadequate, and things had reached the point where we were ashamed of the building. Finances were scoured, and It was determined that $50,000 could be used of present finances, 825,000 of this was already in an airport reserve fund for such building, and another $25,000 could be borrowed from the city proper ty fund, and repaid from airport revenues. However, it was also deter mined that $50,000 would not build much of a building, that the best that could be done would be some remodeling of the old build ing, and this would still be unsat isfactory. So, prospects of a matching fund from the federal government were explored. It was either this or put the entire matter of the financing up to the people for a vote on a bond Issue. The matter could not have been voted on before next year, and 'the possible federal funds expire as of June 30 this year. So, plans went forward to ex plore the possibilities of federal funds. It was determined that some money was not appropriated from the funds, and that if Klamath Falls applied they would have a good chance for approval. The 850,000 was finally ap proved, with two conditions. First, the plans had to be approved by May 15, and secondly, the money had to be allocated by June 30. This left the council only about a month to get the plans drawn, approved and in to the FAA of fices. We were first informed that all the FAA would need was a small oifice in t h e new terminal. Plans were drawn, and then the Los Angeles FAA oifice took is sue with the Seattle FAA office, : and demanded over 1.200 square feet in the terminal building. They also declined to participate in any construction of a second floor in the building. They also required that the terminal be built behind the present terminal building, and had some other requirements as to changes of lavatories and wid ening of the lobby, and cutting down of the first floor restaurant space. In other words, we could build the terminal, they would contri bute 50 per cent, but they would dictate the how and why of the building. Also, the FAA still required that the completed plans for the ter minal be in their hands and ap proved not later than May 15, and that actual construction con tracts for the building must be let no later than June 30. A compromise was found on the floor space requirement. The FAA finally agreed to accept 500 square feet in the terminal and 700 square feet elsewhere. I was among the council mem bers who were ready to tell the FAA to fly somewhere else. Indi cations were that If the city of Klamath Falls could borrow ap proximately $60,000 to go with what it already had, and could make terms to pay the money off over 20 year period, as most people do their homes, we could then build the terminal our own way, in our own place, and in our own time, and that it would pay . Itself off over the 20 years or sooner. That's where the situation stood on Tuesday night. At ( special meeting involving the mayor, council, chamber of commerce aviation committee, tnd sportsmen's pilots, the pic ture was restudied. The old often used phrase. "Well, If we don't take the $so.ono soma other city will," was used time and time again. I still disagreed with (he move to accept federal funds. However, bank officials indi cated that it was questionable as I to whether or not they could loan the city $60,000 without a vote of the people over such a period as 20 years. Then, it boiled down to two choices. Either accept the federal funds, build the structure their way, paying extra ourselves for anything we wanted that they didn t, or not build it all all. It was the consensus of the group that we proceed with the terminal building, submit a new set of plans based on the govern ment requirements, and see what else would develop. The plans must go to Seattle, then to Los Angeles, and per- Shaps to Washington. They must be approved, bids advertised, and contract let prior to June 30. This all means speed, waste and ex pense. 1 don't know whether the fed eral terms can be met. But, it gives you an idea of what happens when you start reaching for some of that so called "money from Heaven." It also brings you up to date on the proposed new terminal building. Close Quart1 ers By FLORENCE JENKINS As automobile manufacturers get car seats lower and lower and declare such conveniences as run ning boards completely obsolete, both men and women find it a lit tle difficult to get in a n d out of the modern vehicles. Swivel seats came along, of course, but gadgets never quite take the place of space to put the body. A real boon is in prospect this year, however, and it isn't a new diet fad, cither. Garment manufacturers have come to the aid of the automo bile drivers. Anyone who has tried to squeeze himself, plus a heavy bulky coat, under the steering wheel knows the problem. There is either too little space or too much you. Manufacturers say the obvious answer is to make lighter-weight garments which retain the same warmth qualities as the heavier, bulkier clothing. Chemistry has come to their aid and offers a unique, soft, pliable, foamy material to use for inter linings instead of heavy materials. This foam lining weighs prac tically nothing, they tell us, and will make its debut in jackets, car coats, sports wear and cold weather apparel in general. There is still something to be said for the idea of having the auto mobile floor boards even with the bottom of the door so you don't step down to get in and climb over to get out. (ireiiiliiiM By RUTH KING Ofttimcs gremlins popping 0 u t from typewriter, teletype, linotype or proof room let errors creep into the printed page of a typewriter. Names are mispcllcd in the pres sure of meeting a deadline, the wire man fails to read deeply enough into a reporter's copy to get cohesion between body type and headline and sometimes the trouble is just plain carelessness. Then the gripes come In. But sometimes, too, a story is heard that overshadows all the off key happenings around a newspa per plant. The story of Monte who took the "get well" card to "the lady who was killed," was one of these. Monte was five years old last January S and keeps ears and eyes open on what goes on around the spot In Klamath Falls where he lives, down the block and across the street from the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Lewis York, 4431 Clin ton Avenue. SHORT RIBS W n r WHICH'WAV Nil Mrs. York was injured recently when a stray bullet, passing through her kitchen window struck her in the arm as she prepared the family dinner. Monte saw the excitement up the street, watched the arrival of neigh bors and the state police, the scur rying cars, and spotted the wound ed woman's son. He knew all about sympathy cards and where they were kept in his house so he begged a card from his mother "for the shot lady." His mother, busy with din ner and other children in the home, and familiar with her son's vivid telling of tall talcs, produced the card without paying too close at tention to his explanation and the small boy was on his way. He found the York son, Den nis, presented his sympathy token and went home disappointed when he found out the lady was "only injured. A nignt or two later young Monte's father, head basketball and baseball coach at Klamath Union High School was reading the Herald and News and decid ed the unnamed young humanitar ian was his own son. The story came back to the newsroom via Wayne Scott, H&N sports editor, who tossed it to news desk, a call to Monte's moth er filled in details and another human interest story was ready for the blue pencil. Monte is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dean White. 4644 Clinton Avenue. School Election Klamath Falls (To the Editor) It has come to our attention that a letter, dated April 27, was signed by the president of the Shasta PTA advocating the election of the incumbent member of Klam ath County school board. The same letters were sent from other school areas signed by the election com mittee or a school committee member or PPA. We understand that it was de cided to write this letter at a meet ing at which school principals of the South Suburban area and a chosen person or persons from each school were present. The let ter strongly expressed their pref erence for the incumbent. Appar ently there were no regular or gen eral meetings where members could vote or express their prefer ences. A few people decided to put the organizations' names on the letters. We think it's most unfortunate for principals or teachers to ex press their preference for a par ticular candidate in a school board election or to try to influence PTA or PPA members in such a man ner. If we read the PTA bylaws cor rectly, any PTA that writes a let ter to its members advocating the election of a particular candidate is out of order. We feel that candidates for the school board should run on their qualifications and beliefs as ex pressed by themselves without any undue influence from princi pals or teachers. There are many problems with which a school board member will be faced where the influence of faculty members in obtaining his election can be a serious embarrassment. William Cheyne Committee for Paul Fairclo School Board Election Mais Of The Week By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor Man-of-the-week: Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Great Britain. The quote: "I'd like to go to the children's world. I want to buy some dolls.'" The place: Moscow. This week there were many who wished the retired field mar shal would spend all his time buying children's dolls, in fact, do Frank O'Neal 1 By anything besides mixing in inter national diplomacy. But it was too late. t For Montgomery, off on a do-it-yourself mission to Moscow, had put his foot in it again this time in a televised interview in which he ranged the field from criticism of President Eisenhower's World War II leadership to Eisenhower's leadership as president and final ly to criticism of U, S. policy in general. "I think you've got to admit the fact, rightly or wrongly, that American leadership, of recent years, has been rather suspect," he said. He lopped that with a general discussion of the state of health among American leaders and then took off for Moscow to take things into his own hands in a discussion with Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev. British newspaper, which al ready had expressed fear over the consequences of Monty's self imposed mission, threw up their hands in horror. "Muddled, mischievous and ir responsible," one newspaper said. "A small boy putting his thumb" to his nose," said another. "No wonder Macmillan is re ported to have held up his hands in mock horror and to have ex claimed: 'Save me from my friends,'" reported another. Eisenhower, a wartime associ ate of the 71-year-old Montgom ery and no stranger to his ways, reacted tartly. The British news papers, he said, had expressed his views for him. Meanwhile, the object of all this discussion had reached Moscow, seen Khrushchev once and made plans to see him again before de parting, innocent as a child, on his return trip home. The London News Chronicle said Montgomery's remarks "will delight Moscow." They probably did. What made Britons especially nervous was the indelicate timing of Montgomery's Moscow visit, at a time when Western foreign min isters were striving for agreement on a united front with which to meet the Communists at the forth coming Geneva meeting on May 11. For Montgomery, though re tired and now a private citizen, still is a world figure and Britons well knew his ability at unfortu nate remarks. Well - meaning though he might be, he still un wittingly could supply grist for the Moscow propaganda mill in its drive to further separate the already-divided allies. To be the controversial center of a stage is not a new experi ence for Montgomery, whose flamboyance as a soldier and pub lic speaker are in sharp contrast to the austerity of his private life and to his descent from a minister father and from a grand father who was one of Britain's most outstanding theological writ ers. In Moscow, Montgomery found Khrushchev "friendly" and their talks "interesting." Later, on a tour with his Russian hosts of Moscow's spots of interest, he ap peared bored. He broke off his tour to go buy the dolls. Even the Russians must have been confused by this man whom Winston Churchill is said once to have described as: "Invincible in defeat, insuffer able in victory."

Prof. Nicholas C. Christofilos of Ihe University of California joined with Air Force scientists in the iirst scientific symposium dealing with Project Argus. in that project. last August and September, three small nuclear bombs were exploded at "tremen dous altitudes." The blasts creat od a 100-mile-thick shell of elec trons that temporarily encircled the world. In a report prepared for the symposium jointly sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences and the American Physical Society tnrislolilos said: "The explosion of small bombs in outer space is completely harm less from the aspect of radiation hazard in outer space travel. 'However, explosions of mega ton bomhs in outer space can create a radiation hazard for the outer space traveler." HAWAII SURPLUS HONOLULU (AP) Gov. Wil liam F.
