Truman Wants More And Better Fields WASHINGTON ' — President ‘Truman today ordered into imme- diate effect a long-range program aimed at giving the United States more and better airfields. The program was embodied in recommendations made to the President by a special commission headed by James H. Doolittle, World War II flying hero. The e@ommission was set up shortly after three air disasters occurred fm rapid-fire succession at Eliza- beth, N. J. Embodied in the recommenda- tHons were these key provisions: 1, Airports should be given a major role in community planning and airfields should be integrated with other modes of transporta- tion. 2. Airfields should be moved eloser to the cities they serve, The Doolittle Commission said they should be no further,than 40 min- utes driving time from the heart of a city. 3. No new airport should be planned without clear, level areas at least 1,000 feet wide and at least half a mile long beyond each end of the main runways. 4. Zoning laws should be set up protecting approaches to airports against construction of buildings for at least two miles in fan-shaped areas at least 6,000 feet wide at the outer ends. * 5. Government appropriations for airport improvements should be increased substantially. 6. Helicopters and other forms of air taxi service should be set up between airports and cities. The White House announced that the President has directed four federal agencies to begin putting the Doolittle Commission recom- mendations into immediate effect. These agencies are headed by the secretary of defense, the sc- retary of commerce, the postmas- tr general and the chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board: The announcement said the Pres- ident’s Air Co-ordinating Commit- tee had examined the Doolittle Ballots For Servicemen To Be Printed Now Servicemen’s ballots for the gen- eral election will have to be printed immediately to reach the men overseas in time and be returned here, County Legal Advisor Paul Sawyer said last night. The Florida Secretary of State has ruled that the ballot for over- seas servicemen will have to be printed now and not wait for the nominee in the special October 14 election for a Justice of the Florida Supreme Court. This servicemen’s ballot must go out 45 days before an election, Sawyer said. The regular absentee ballot for persons in the United States, but out of the county, will include the nominee for Supreme Court justice named October 14.

Phillip Toppino of the Toppino construction firm urged speedy action on the zoning: “We asked for the zoning orig- inally so that we can start build- ing a housing project on Stock Island.

Eisenhow- er’s sweep across Dixie was boom- ing in such spectacular fashion to- day that it posed the question of just how solid the Democratic South will be in the November election. The GOP presidential nominee was drawing huge crowds at every stop along his campaign route. But none could say whether it was due to personal charm or political ap- peal—or to a combination of ihe { two. About 150,000 persons turned out to greet Eisenhower Tuesday in Atlanta, Jacksonville and here in Miami. ¢ There were prospects of more big turnouts today in Tampa, Bir- mingham, Ala., and Little Rock, Ark.—the last stops on his 2-day, 3,400 mile journey from New York into the South. The thousands who heard Eisen- hower speak burst into cheers and | rebel yells when he accused the Truman administration of trying to cover up a “mess” of crime and corruption. They cheered. when he called for “common woodshed honesty” in government, and deplored the “whole sordid story” of corruption in the Bureau of Internal Revenue. They applauded heavily when he said it wasn’t enough to “change a face or two” in the administra- tion and that: ‘No change of goods in the showcase can make the rot- ten goods back in the warehouse any better.” And the harder he whiplashed the Democratic , leadership in Washington, the better his listen- ers seemed to like it, if their ap- plause was any measure. Eisenhower hammered at cor- ruption in government on this first drive into the South and he made it clear he had crossed the Maxon- Dixon Line with hopes the South would support him in November. He wound up his first day’s tour speaking to a record 12,000 or more persons at the Bay Front Park Tuesday night, the largest crowd ever to hear any candidate speak in Miami. Other thousands had cheered him on his drive into the city and to Miami Beach. The crowd was chanting “We want Ike” as he stepped: onto a brilliantly lighted platform and tore into the administration which in Jacksonville he had called a | leadership of ‘‘stumble, fumble and fall.” He read from a prepared text in which he promised that in the days to come he would outline the poli- cies he would follow on problems of peace, inflation, labor, agricul- ture and cleaning corruption from government, Eisenhower praised. Republican Sen. John J. Williams of Delaware as a man who has been chiefly responsible for exposing wrongdo- ing in government. He pointed par- ticularly to cases in the Boston, St. Louis and San Francisco tax collecting agencies. The crowd gave him perhaps iff on prowlers, and the police should track down these criminals and see that they are locked up. Sending them out of town, will do no good.

But I can promise you this: If I should ever find a rotten apple in any barrel given to my care, it won't take me 344 years to get rid of it.” And he added later: “I cannot tell you the whole extent of this corruption because there has been too much hiding and too little ex- posing by the responsible officials of government. 1...
