Airport Lacks
Wide Support

Urging Bluffton support of the
Allen County Airport bond issue
on grounds that the Lima ex-
pansion is the expedient way of
improving area transport faciI-
tiles, Glenn Webb Jr., chairman
of the Citizens Committee for the
Airport produced three letters
which he said indicates that sup
port for a tri-county port near
Bluttton is a long way off.
The same letters brought little
comment from Harold Carey,
chairman of the Bluffton Busi-
ness Mems association aviation
committee, which maintains that
the Lima proposal does not go
far enough and that the proposed
expansion program is inadequate
to area needs.
One letter from Richard w.
Slagle, executive secretary of the
Findlay Chamber of Commerce,
advised the Lima group that
Findlay's attitude concerning
possible formation and con-
struction of an airport near
Bluffton could be clearly stated
as indifferent.
There has been no serious
thought given this project of a
few Bluffton residents. 1t would
not be in the best interest of our
community to promote the con-
struction and financing of a new
facility that distance from Find
lay when we already have an air.
port facility here that is superior
to the proposed multi-million
dollar Dream Field at Bluftton.
Tax money is simply not that
plentiful or easy to come by"
MIR. Slagle wrote.
He added that this was not an
official position of his organiza-
ton or the City of Findlay or
Hancock county, but frank ap-
praisal after discussing the mat
ter with officials of these organ
izations.
Another letter from r. ]. Craw-
fis clerk of the Village of Ottawa
stated that the mayor and coun-
Gil had gone on record favoring
the Allen County Airport and ex-
pressed hope that Allen County
will see fit to make the project
a reality.
eve realize that we cannot
vote on this issue and also that
our county is too small and not
located to support the
type of project your county is
undertaking." .-
The third letter from w. T.
Augur, executive secretary of the
Kenton Chamber of Commerce
said:
Mr.. Jerry Longbrake, presi-
dent of the Hardin Airport, Inc,
Mr.. Franklin Garman, county
commissioner, with the writer,
attended a meeting at Bluffton at
which time the proposal of the
Bluffton Airport was discussed.
The matter of Hardin county
participating in this program,
from the amount of money in
is without question that
county wishes to with
draw from the project. AS far as
the city is concerned, their fin
anceS are in bad shape.
"Kenton will take no further
steps in this matter at the pres
ent time" he wrote Mr.. Webb.
Mr.. Carey said that the Bluff

for the Airport and that he was

prosecution.
Herbert Brownell, jr., was
Attorney General at the time.
Mr.. Rogers was his deputy.
Mr.. Bolan subsequently re-
signed his post and entered
private law practice. It was he
who was reported to have been
considered by the grand jury
to help in the investigation In
a private capacity.
After Mr.. Bolan resigned,
Fioravante G. Perotta, anotner
assistant United States attor-
ney, was assigned to the case.
He, too. resigned. 1t was re-
ported he had been instructed
by higher ups to delay calling
an important witness until
the move was okayed by the
Justice Department.
In 1856 Mr.. Powell. although
a Democrat, supported Presi-
dent Eisenhower's candidacy.
Jury Members Got Magazine
This led to charges by a con-
servative magazine, The Ma
tional Review, that the grand
jury investigation was being
toned down as a gesture Of
gratitude. Copies Of the maga-
zine were sent to members OF
the grand jury.
AS a result, William F. Buck

Action Sought
On Bill 10 Aid
Poor Areas

Supporters looked 10 the
House today for action on q
bill 10 aid chronically depressed
areas which the Senate passed
by a bipartisan 1885 vote.
The Senate passed a similar
bill In the closing days Of the
1856 session, too late for House
consideration at that time.
The House Banking Commit
tee already has held extended
hearings on legislation In this
field. but has scheduled other
measures for action ahead Of a
depressed areas bill.
However, Chairman Spence
of the committee has said his
group may report a bill.
Parties Join Forces
Twenty-nine Democratsa nd
II Republicans joined forces as
the Senate passed the bill yes
terday over opposition from IL
Democrats and "a Republicans.
The bill would make available
$375 million in Federal loans
and grants to communities
which have lost major indus
tries or for other reasons have
had long standing unemploy-
ment problems. Both cities and
rural areas would be aided in
rehabilitating themselves. The
Eisenhower administration
sought to limit the measure to
$50 million Of loan funds.
Sponsors Of the Senate bill
estimate that 70 major indus
trial areas and 300 rural coun-
ties would qualify for the loans.
grants and technical assistance
authorized in the bill.
They cite textile and railroad
ghost towns and communities
dependent on hard coal mines
as typical of the areas which
would get aid from the pro-
gram.
Federal Revolving Loans
The bill would authorize $500
million in Federal revolving
loans-$l00 million each for
industrial redevelopment, for
rural redevelopment, and for
community facilities to enable
an area to service new industry.
1t also would authorize SIS
million annually in grants for
community facilities to areas
which do not have good enough
credit for a loan.
The program would be run
by an area redevelopment ad-
ministrator whose office would
be established in the Housing
and Home Finance Agency.
Some Senate opponents de-
nounced the bill as socialistic
and the entering wedge for q
much bigger aid program once
1t was established.
Others said that it was dis
criminatory in that one city in
a State might qualify for Fed
eral funds while another in a
similar economic situation
would not.
The bill would prohibit aid
to relocate a plant from one
area to another when such as
Sistance will result in substan-
tial detriment to the area of
original location by increasing
unemployment"
Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, said this was a
