(An Editorial)

For number of weeks, the tax-paying public has
viewed wranglng Port Clinton's airport affairs
with spirit of detachment in some quarters
with semi amusement.
But the issue has reached point where it
has ceased to be funny John O. Iublics pockebook
about to be tapped.
The city finds itself involved in litigation that con-
ceivably will drain money from the public treas
ury than can be gained from airport revenues for
years to come.
1t is to be lamented that the general public of
Port Clinton must pick up the check for what to all
appearances represents the continuation of childish
quarrel born in transforming days and nourished by
personality conflicts.
1t is further regrettable that out-ofcounty inter-
ests were dragged into what has been heretofore
strictly a local ISSUE

Special Council
Meet Challenged
By Port Defenders

AS a special meeting of council
called Tuesday of last week, for
consideration OF new contract
relative to writing of a new con-
tract for management of the mu-
nicipal airport, nothing was ac-
complished beyond the usual
wrangling over service facilities.
Hampered by the court order re-
straining the drawing up of new
contract, council, sitting in an un-
official session, heard several in
terested persons discuss their
views concerning the Importance
of the airport to this and the
island communities.
Chief of these was Carl Mat
thews, member of the original air
port committee, and owner of an
airplane, who declared, There is
nothing the matter with the air
port except lack of business,
which does not justify employ
ment of fulltime management" He
said he took his plane off the field
only because it was too wet, land
not because of Hersberger's con-
nection with it." He said the field
was in good condition all last
summer and was flyable practical
ly every day.
Former Mayor Carl Keller re-
viewed the history of the airport
and stressed that the contract
made with Milton Hersberger was
in good faith. He said he was
puzzled at attempts to break a
perfectly good contract, which
meant goodwill between Port
Clinton, the islands, and visiting
tourists.
Mayor Carl Becker corentered
this statement with the declara-
ton that "it has never been the
purpose of council to break any
, contract with the HerSberger op-
Grafton.
Another member of the original
airport committee, Elmer Blro,
, said he had never found anything
wrong with operation of the air
port, and questioned the councils
sincerity 'in what appears to be
a personal crusade against Mr..
Hersberger."
! Answering newspaper attack
concerning an alleged financial in
terest in the Hersberger opera
ton, City Solicitor John Rein
| heimer told councilmen that he
does not have a penny invested
in Air Tours, Inc, the only oper-
alton now at the airport.
Several councilmen insisted upon
renewing past efforts to re-write
the airport contract and submit
| it to bids from any interested
persons, but were told by Rein
heimer that he would not be in
position to defend the injunction
action now in the common pleas
court, which would have to be
taken up before any contract
could be drawn" :"
Councilmen then discussed the
feasibility of hiring outside legal
counsel. A Toledo lawyer was
mentioned and at the close of the
meeting it was decided that an in
vestigation would be made to de-
termine what the cost would be
and whether city finances were
available to cover it.
There was some discussion rela-
tive to hiring a manager for the
airport out of city funds, and this
fell also into the category of fin
ances-Whether any fund would
support such employment.

By Religious News Service

A movement is developing to
give religion an important role
in all major areas of American
life. A major factor behind the
movement is the growing con-
viction that because of the threat
of atheistic Communisms Ameri-
cans must emphasize their belief
in and reliance upon God.
In Albany, N. Y, last weak. the
Board of Regents. governing body
of New York States public schools.
formally recommended that every
school day begin with prayer.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey Endorsed
the suggestion.
In other ways, too. religion is
getting greater recognition than
previously in American schools.
For instance. in Wayne, Pa, a
month-long religious exhibit was
held at the Radnor high school to
foster better understanding of the
various faiths in the community.
Coincident with the displays,
two instructors taught the prin-
ciples of the world religions in
the high school and tied their in
struction in with the exhibit.
Kentucky Experiments.
In another Pennsylvania COM
|munity, Elkins Park, the junior
high school makes the history Of
religion a prominent part of its
course on world history.
For some time now, Kentucky
schools have been stressing moral
and spiritual values under an ex-
perimental program sponsored by
the State Department of Educa-
ton, the University of Kentucky.

and the University of Louisville.
Recently, the committee on Edu-
cation for Kentucky Youth. hav-
ing made a thorough study Of the
program. found it sound" and
recommended it's continuance.
Currently under way is a re-
search project of the American
Council on Education to determine
what the schools should do to in
form youth about religion. The
project is being financed by a
grant from the Rockefeller Foun-
dation.
In business and industry re-
|ligion is similarly playing an in
creasingly important part. Last
week, a Dallas, Tex, business ex-
ecutive recommended that busl-

Industrial Chaplaincies Set Up.
The executive was j. B. Shores
director of public and employe re-
lations for the Texas and Pacific
Railway. Mr.. Shores also Sug-
gested that employe-management
conferences should be opened and
closed with prayer. Instead of
calling on the Government to in
tervene," the executive said, why
not call on God?"
At least two denominations have
recently established regional in
dustrial chaplaincies. In Novem-
ber, the Rev. Emerson Wesley
Smith of Lynn. Mass. became
chaplain Of industrial relations for
the New England area of the
Methodist Church. The first
Statewide industrial chaplaincy
in the history of the Presbyterian
Church, u. S. A., was authorized
recently by the New Jersey Synod.
Meanwhile, workers in many
areas are themselves bringing
religion into their places of en-
Iployment. In various parts of the
country morning OF lunch hour
worship services, or weekly prayer
periods. have been organized by
workers in plants and factories.
Sometimes a clergyman offers the
prayers, but most of the time the
service is led by an employe.
In city government, also, there
is trend to give religion proper
recognition. Recently. for instance,
the city councils of Portland,
Greg, and Toledo. Ohio. opened
their sessions with prayer and
announced that this will be a
permanent feature of council
meetings.
Meanwhile. religious leaders,
having explored the ways in which
they can utilize motion pictures
and radio. are now focusing at
tention on television. Last week
more than 100 religious workers
met here-and heard Federal
communications Com I'm S sion
Chairman Wayne Coy say that
churches must use television in
the future if they are to present
their contribution to American
life in the most effective manner.

in the polling or counting procedures.
There were some early instances of
terror tactics by the SED and vitu-
perative outbursts In the Soviet
controlled newspapers. And there
were less serious incidents. such as
wholesale plasterlng of buildings with
campaign placards and the Soviet's
accidental" dumping of truckful
Of potatoes for the benefit of hungry
voters in the vicinity of polling
place.
But the inspection teams had COM
paratively little to do on election day.
Col. Chaser reports. The principal
problems involved the untangling of
some 10000 duplicate registrations
and the handling of one intoxicated
polling place official.
OF the 2,349,722 qualified voters.
2,09l ,055 took part in the election.
SED ran poor third with 4O5, ,992
votes. SPD, the Social Democrat
Party, received almost one million
votes; the CED, Christian Democratic
Union, got 454 .200-and the LDP, the
Liberal Democrats, almost 1913 900.
Red Strength Declines
Communist strength, which years
previously had reached a peak of
80 per cent of the city vote, fell to
less than 20 per cent in the 1946 elec-
tion. Col. CHASER cautions against in
terpreting that as primarily vote
for the Western concept of democ-
racy. But it unquestionably was

Magistrate in December. Notwith-
standing shortage of trained person.
mel and political experience, and the
unfortunate fact that the SPD was
loosely knit party, the legislative
and administrative processes got off
to fairly smooth start.
But by early 1947, it was obvious
that the views and methods of the
Soviets in the Eastern zone and of
the Allies the Western sections were
headed for disastrous conflicts on the
question of government-much less
self-government-in the city of Ber-
lin. And by 1948, disturbances and
other irritations in the Soviet sector
wrought havoc with the efforts of the
city assembly to function. This cul-
minated in what the Russians may
have considered victory in forcing
the assembly to get. out of the city
hall and move to West Berlin for
protection.
