Foreseen by OPA Agent
Portland, Feb. ',. &v-( ap)-
An, automobile, scarcity will vex
drivers' bofore. long, though gaso
line and tires rriay be plentiful,
B. J. Berry, OPA field agent, pre
dicted here today.
' "Cars won't be coming off the
assembly lines for months utter
the war, while gasoline and rub
ber plants will simply continue
production," he said, explaining
that the country's enrs have
dwindled from 27 million to 20
million since the war.
He said that rationing of cars
and "all other necessities" will
be needed long after the war
ends.

iE cohihionly iieaf of fish being used for fertilizer, but it
" is a rather hew idea that fertilizer be used for fish.
An article In Reader's tiiyest, condensed from The Pro-
greHsive, tells how ordinary commercial chemical fertilizer,
the same tyjie you put on your lawns, has' greatly increased
fish life in lakes and ponds. The fertilizer is spread upon
the "water.". 'It immediately increases production of plank
ton. Plankton is the name, given miseroscopic organisms,
both vegetable and animal, in the water. The plant life in
cludes diatoms, a form of algae, as well as the more fa
miliar blue-grefn lilgae which may be observed when
water is left warm aiid stagnant to promote growth of the
colonies.. Algae is the vegetable organism which occa
sionally. produces a somewhat unpleasant taste and smell to
drinking water in warm suniitier months. Tho word plank
ton also includes a Wide group of minute protozoans, of
which a larger form is known by the more common name of
jellyfish. Nearly all fish and aquatic animals from the
minnow that has shed the egg sac, to a whale obtain the bulk
of their food from plankton. In addition insects feed on
plankton, fish feed on insects and insect larvae, while, in
turn, ' carnivorous fish feed upon insects and minnows.
Thus nature has set up a food cycle which, if left undis
turbed, can provide an abundance of fish.
As pointed out in Reader's Digest, man can aid nature by
casting chemical fertilizer into lakes and ponds, increasing
fish production just as he can improve the volume of his
crops by fertilizing, the soil. Experiments detailed in the
article also show that size of fish is determined by the
amount of feed available. Fish given ample food will in
crease in size much more rapidly than those lacking, abun
dant food. .
' We call attention to the article in Reader's IJiyest because
it relates directly to the theory we have advanced on several
occasions that it is necessary for us to have large runs of
hiigratory salmon in' the Umpqua river if we expect the
Ptreaiti to reach its capacity of all species of fish,
i. It obviously is impossible to spread sufficient chemical
fertilizer 'in; a streain -of fast running water such as the
tlmpqua. Hut nature provided for fertilization to produce
plankton by decreeing that salmon shopld enter fresh water
to spawn and die. Minnows, insects and crawfish feed upon
the carcasses. From the decaying bodies the water washes
put fertilizer elements to feed plankton. Insects and fish
eat of the plankton and thus is created a cycle conducive to
abundant fish life.
But as a field can be worn out very quickly by continued
cropping without fertilization, so a river can be destroyed !
when there is not sufficient fertilizer to support the all
Important plankton. That is why the Umpqua river, if de
prived of abundant runs of salmon, cannot support ANY
species of fish life to the degree of which it is capable.
A field without fertilization will continue to produce for
p long period of time, but when it starts to wear out, it goes
Vapidly. The same is true of a river, and here on the I'mp
qua we have reached the point where we have seen in recent
years an alarming decline in fish life.
But permit the salmon to go to their spawning beds un
molested, without commercial nets to threaten them with ex
tinction, and nature will provide the cycle of fertilization
heeded to increase all species of fish.
All fish in the Umpqua river are believed to be of migra
tory character. They may remain in fresh water for an
undetermined period of time, then will go to the ocean.
Salmon will return as adults to spawn and die. Steelheads
and cutthroat trout may return year after year.
Nature has arranged spawning seasons to prevent con
flict and, at tho same time, maintain food cycles. Chinook
salmon spawn in the Umpqua river from late August to
early October. Sil vet-sides spawn in November and De
cember. Cutthroat trout, also known as salmon trout,
spawn in February. Steelheads and Kainbow trout spawn
Lfeuf. McCall's
Tour of Duty in
Aleutians Noted
Lieutenant W. A. McCall, U. S..
N. R., of Roseburg, is one of the
fuel's who helped VPB-61, a navy
search and patrol squadron, over
come weather and Japs during a
recently completed nine months'
tour of duty in the stormy Aleu
tians. He flew In Consolidated Cata
lina (PIJY) Hying boals on search
missions, convoy duty and in
shore patrol. The squadron flew
a total of (i,i50 nours, averaging
more than -SOO hours a month in
wealhrr oflen extremely hazard
ous for flying.
The squadron made three single-plane
flights over the North
ern Kuriles, which are located
just north of Japan proper. Oth
er special missions included the
rescue of the pilot of an army
P-40 who Aas forced down off
Kanaga Island in the Aleutians.
He was located l short time be
fore he would have succumbed to
the Intense cold. Two navy air
crewmen ferried the army pilot
In a rubber life raft through the
rough water between the island
and the rescue plane offshore.
In the Day's Hews
iContlnued from page 1) -
veteran and proven COMMAND
when CALLED UPON."
There has been loose talk that
Manila will be the end of the road
for MacArthur that he may be
retired or transferred and some
body else put In charge. His state
ment that "this veteran com
mand" is ready when called upon
could easily be interpreted as a
bid for continued leadership.
WHAT will the Japs do next?
Reading the Jap mind Is
too big a job for us home-front-ers,
who know only what we are
told, but dispatches of the past
few days Indicate that they are
fighting harder for ALL of east
China and arc stiffening their re
sistance in Burma.
That suggests that they have
kissed their island empire good
bye and are retiring to the Asia
tic continent.
BY every sign, the German war
Is approaching a crisis.
The Russians arc lined up
along the greater part of the east
bunk of the Oder. At some places
their artillerymen are firing ovr
open siglus at the Germans dh
the west hank. The Germans say
the reds have crossed in at least
three places east and southeast
of Berlin.
The Russians are silent on that
point, but the Moscow radio in
timates that big news may be
coming soon.
for some such sign of weakness
to launch the big attack that he
must be all ready and waiting
for. .. . , . ;
An all-out offensive in the west,
while the Russians are pounding
at Berlin's gates from the east,
would certainly look like moving
in for the final kill.
OUR supreme headquarters in
Paris discloses that German
casualties on the west front since
D-day add up to a total of 1,260,-
000.
That's a lot of Germans put out
of action.
IN Canada (in what under the
British system is called a by
election) it looKs as if the antl
conscriptionists have won a vic
tory that may result in dissolu
tion of the Canadian parliament
and a new general election.
What is happening in Canada
(including vague stories of riots,
mass desertions, etc.) is still a
mystery to the general run of
us on this side of the border. In
our geenral lack of enllghtment,
we set it down as having some
thing to do with the French
Canadian problem that always
has been posed by Quebec.
We'll be wise If we reserve
judgment until we get a little
more light on the subject.
THERE are strong hints that
the Russians are near Stettin,
on (lie Baltic northeast of Ber
but as to that Moscow is com
pletely silent. A Russian thrust
to Stettin would cut off the Ger
man province of Pomerania, as
East Prussia lias already been
cut off, presumably trapping
other large bodies ot German
t roops.
IN Detroit, Senator Arthur Van
denburg tells a home-state audi
ence that It is time for America
to "sign up now with all her
major allies to Join in a hard-and-fast
treaty" to keep the peace
after the war is won and says he
will continue to urge such a
policy.
(He thinks fear of what Ameri
ca will and WON'T do has been
responsible fjlr British and Rus
sian moves AWAY FROM the At
lantic charter prniciples and to
ward the old principles of power
politics.)
He adds: "ft is time for us to
say what we will do. It is time for
us to say what we will not do.
It is time for us to START THE
DOING."
In evaluating this statement,
remember that Vandenburg is a
REPUBLICAN.

in late March through to the early part of May.
Spawning periods may show some slight variation on
other streams, but the dates are approximately the same on
all coastal rivers.
On the long streams such as the Columbia, Hoguo juul
Umpqua, the main run of Chinook salmon comes into fresh
water in the early spring and Silvcrsides in the fall, while
on the short coastal streams the major part of the entire
salmon run is in the fall.
The Chinook and Silverside salmon runs become fertiliz
er. There also is heavy mortality among sinkers, a scaven
ger fish, in the summer months. It is these carcasses
which promote growth of planklou and thereby provide
the measure of a river's capacity to produce fish. I
But for years the commercial fishing industry has been !
preying upon salmon runs, depriving our streams of for-,
t:iizer and consequently destroying all species of fish.
The industry is beginning to awaken to the destruction it
has caused. It is learning that with a river, as with soil, .
you can't continue forever to take out without putting back. I
Lot other values are to be considered ami those include;
.he question of whether the greatest public good can be ac
complished through maintaining our streams at full ca .
pacity for recreational purposes, with the millions of dollars
in ivireational revenue that would thus bo produced, or ly
maintaining partial capacity for the benelil of a private in- I
ilustry, w hich, even now, is pleading for public subsidy to j
correct tho results of its own folly. i

BERLIN says that we and tho
British are all set for a big
new offensive from the Hocr
river, with Cologne, on the west !
bank of the Rhine as its first
major objective.
The Siegfried line is said in the
dispatches to be "crumbling."
One wonders what Is meal by
"i.tu mbling." It's a fair guess that
the Siegfried defenses in depth
extend clear lo the Rhine.
Wesl front correspondents say
In dispatches passed by the cen
