Sabacrtptloaa Fa?abla la Advaaoa :1 Keep After Air Service ADVERSE action by civil aeronautics examiners on the United Airlines application for service to Klamath Falls should be met here with renewed determination by this community to win adequate airline service at the earliest possible time There is a touch of irony In the current situation. The people of this community voted funds for airport develop ment partially as a defense contribution, and it appears now that because of the national defense program the airlines extension has been turned down by the examiners. The indicated theory is that applications requiring addi tional mileage or equipment are not being favorably con sidered at this time because of the military aviation pro gram. However, from an excellent authority we have learned that United Airlines could establish service to Klamath Falls without additional mileage, and would do so if the application is granted without additional mileage. Hence, it behooves this community to get busy. The civil aeronautics board reviews the recommendations of its examiners before making a final decision. While or dinarily the CAB accepts the recommendations of its exam iners, there must be exceptions to that rule and Klamath's case should be made an exception. Failing there, we should continue to strive for airline service by supporting sew applications. Two years ago when there was strong pressure for airline service here, it was pointed out that Klamath's field would not accommodate all-year service because of the condition of the unpaved runways. Since then, the people have authorized nearly $70,000 for buying addi tional land, the CAA has authorized funds for runway construction, and in immediate prospect is a field that will accommodate the large planes of the big airlines in year-around operations. Having disposed of one obstacle, we are now confront ed with another the limiting of civil aviation activity because of the national defense effort. That effect would appear to be of a temporary nature, and ultimately, we believe, civil aviation will receive tremendous impetus from the defense aviation program. For that reason, we are certain that Klamath is wise in proceeding with the development of its airport at this time, when CAA assist ance is available. Meanwhile, as has been indicated, there is good rea son to believe the Klamath service could be now estab lished without adversely affecting defense aviation and without requiring additional mileage by United Airlines. Vigorous, united action by the community is in order. vL T" r fvrrr 17 BehindM thlvNomI By PAULHALlOMy Ei EO COMPANY PRESIDENT TESTIFIES TO L. D.

M,y 14 Anyone who wants to hurry into war might do well to Imik first into the experience of the army with one of its basic air craft motors, Full facts of such matters are usually reserved fur history, but It is rovenliug no niililury wrri'l to say that a motor upon which the army heavily relied has de veloped so many bugs It hud to be redesigned only recently. The motor was supposed to de velop something like 1 :i At) horse power. The first model, with its parts laid out alongside the Rolls-Royce, looked superior to the engineers. But in practice it developed considerably less horsepower, some sny only 1150. This deficiency was just enough to injure its value. New demands for armor plnle adding to the weight of planes limited its efficiency to a disturbing de gree. Another bug developed 111 it when it was placed on the block. In the end the engineers de cided to redesign the whole en gine and hope for 2000 horse power, which might yet make it sensational new discovery, months uftcr It was thought to have been perfected.
