as possible. The minimum
length of the landing strip rec
commended by the @. a. a. is
1900 feet.
Ray Zelka, who has done a
good deal Of work developing
the landing strip on the fair
ground, explained the advant-
ages of such a site for the fly
er of the light plane and Wayne
Linthacum, county survey, said
that the owners of private
planes in this county also liked
its location. The proposal OF
zelka and Linthacum was to
grade and gravel the strip, re-
move power lines and oil sur
face a part of it, so that land
ings could be made there in
wet weather. Linthacum estl-
mated the cost at between $5,-
900 and $4,000.
George Daniels, president of
the chamber, who had pre-
viously given a resume of prog-
ress on the airport, questioned
the ACCESSIBILITY Of using the
strip for training and pointed
out that several veterans in
Hardin were anxious to obtain
flight training under the G. I.
bill of rights.
King said his office had
nothing to do with the training
set-un. In answer to various
questions, he said the monev
set aside by the CAA for the
county airport would not be
used Immediately, but if 1T were
not matched bv local funds, it
might be allocated to an active
project. He also said that all
or any part of the federal funds
might be used if matched by
money from a sponsor Tin this
case Big Horn county,, and
that the remaining money
would be more likely to stay in
an ALLEGATION for this airport if
a part of 1t were used.
The question of G.. I. train
ing was discussed at some
length, with most of those
present Of the opinion that the
fairgrounds strip propably would
not be desirable for this pur-
pose. Zelka proposed that the
strip might be used as a base
and the county airport used for
actual training practice.
Zelka commended that if the
strip were DEVELOPED the air
port on the hill should not be
used. Daniels pointed out that
the runway near town could be
developed only up to a certain
point, and that it would never
be useful for any except light
planes. He said the airport on
the hill would have a greater
value to Hardin and the county
in the future. -=s
The Chamber decided to take
no action On the matter, but
to leave it up to the county
commissioners.
A letter from H. w. Funston
was read. BunSton is in Wash
ington, D. c., comforting with
officials in regard to getting an
appropriations for the build
ing of the Yellowtail dam. The
Chamber endorsed his work and
instructed Daniels to send Bum
ston word of the organizations
backing and confidence.
Folders for distribution at the
Port of Entry stations were dis
cussed by Carl Rankin. These
folders would give the main
points of interest and accomo-
cations in the county.
1t was announced that the
annual meeting of the Inter
national Highway 81 associa-
ion will be held in LewistoWn

0'NeiI Says Congress
Negligent on Security

James O'Neil, national commander
of the American Legion, last night
criticized Congress for being "inex-
cusably negligent in advancing a
program" for national military
preparation.
Mr.. O'Neil spoke at ceremonies
marking the birthday of the late
Gen. Lesley j. McNair at the old
Army War College, which has been
renamed in his honor.
THE present Congress has COM
pletely lost sight of the peoples
mandate on national security" Mr..
O'Neil pointed out in referring to
it's failure to enact universal mill
tary training.
Il say to you that the struggle
for survival is still raging" he
added. "The challenge to the
American people which Gen. Nc
Nair recognized and pronounced so
fearlessly, is as. real now as it was
five and one-half years ago. All OF
us realize that what we have in the
world tonight is not peace but an
armistice masquerading as peace"
Secretary of State Marshall, who
was scheduled to serve as honorary
chairman of the ceremonies. sent
a message expressing his inability to
attend. In his note, he added that
Gen. McNair rendered great and
vital service" in the winning of the
war, and that Col. Douglas McNair,
the generals son, also made a great
contribution towards winning the
conflict in the Western Pacific.
Commissioner Watson B. Miller
of the immigration and Naturaliza-
ton Service presided and intro
duced the speakers The exercises
were sponsored by the Lesley Nc

Miss Clara M. Edmunds, who can
tell you just about anything you
want to know about the Federal
Government, is stumped.
The question she asks herself and
can't answer is why the Government
has decided to scrap the institution
to which she has devoted herself for
the last Is years-the Government
Information Service Library, located
at Fourteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV.
Seated at her desk the other day
glaring through her spectacles at
the formal announcement from the
director of the Budget Bureau, some
of the reasons were clear enough.
I'm view of the fact that no funds
have been appropriated for the fiscal
year beginning July l, 194S, you are
advised that the library services
= ." are hereby discontinued as OF
the date of this memorandum"
And that" said Miss Edmunds
lis that. This library will become
a part of the Senate Library, and
of course, that will end its useful
ness so far as the public is con-
cerned. I can't help saying / don't
see the point.
$4,000 Reference Works.
Back in 1884, Miss Edmuhds
started her Government Information
Service Library with one filing cab
met. Today it contains some $4,000
reference books and pamphlets per-
tanning to the working of the Gov
ernment and has been described as
"the most unique reference library
in the Nation"
During the war, the library be-
came part of a greatly expanded
United States Information Service
which answered the questions OF
confused newcomers to the wartime
Capital, seeking to do business with
a. rapidly expanding and hopelessly
Complicated Government. A Staff
of some 153 trained experts supplied
the answers in the services TEN

ing is occupied largely by various

work of the wartime organization
According to testimony given re-
Gently before the House Appropria-
tions Committee by H. P. Caem-
merer, secretary of the Commission
of Fine Arts, the building will be
the first of the war-temporary build
ings to be razed. Mr.. Caemmerer
said he hoped the Information
Center as we'll as other Government
temporary buildings could be re-
moved before Washington's sesqui-
centennial celebration in 1850.
Against a general tendency toward
reductions of Government expendi-
lures, Miss Edmunds had fought a
losing battle to keep her library
going.
And put up pretty good fight
too," she declared.

one else who could influence the

Rally by Comets Tells
In Richmond TussIe

Clifton Comets were home today
looking for some more suitable
basket ball opposition. They have
scored 18 victories in a row-most
by comfortable margins-but had
one of their roughest times yester-
day at Richmond as they nosed out
the Barons, 52-4s, before 1900 fans
in the Blues Armory.
The Clifton team opened its sea-
son by playing preliminaries to the
Washington Caps Basket Ball AS
sociation games at Uline Arena, but
the games always were so heavily
in favor Of Clifton that spectator
interest never picked up.
The Barons, however, gave the
Comets q battle. The first half
ended in q 1920 deadlock, then the
host five jumped into short lead.
But Miggs Reilly, plopping them in
from long range, helped the Comets
take the lead with three minutes to
go and they held on to it.
