Federal Funds
By FLOYD L. 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.

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.

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.

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

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."

WASHINGTON AP - The
man responsible for last year's
U.C. nuclear explosions in outer
space said today a high-energy
blast there would kill a space
traveler by radiation.
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

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

create a radiation hazard for the
outer space traveler."

Megaton bombs are those hav

"For example," said Christo
filos, even one megaton bomb
exploded in proper location in
outer space will deliver to a man
in a satellite a lethal dose 400

hours.
"Consequently such experiments
must be conducted by small
