Russia also wants a two-thirds vote (which the rules committee will consider later), Byrnes is offer ing no objection to that. Presumably he thinks we are strong enough in the conference to GET a two-thirds vote when we need It. AU this sparring for position Indicates the real importance of the conference, which Is designed to bring a lot of our troubles with Russia to a head. ONGRESS. adjourns with sigh of rollcf from its members, who are anxious to get home and throw thomsclves into the big campaign that will decide ivhetlicr the next congress Is to be controlled by the Democrats or the Republicans. ALL the members of the House and a third of the members of the Senate are up for ro-olectilon this year. So you can understand why they are -nervous, ' a ONE of the achlpvemQnts of the 79th Congress (which has just adjourned) was a reorganization act that' simplifies procedures considerably. (For one thing, il reduces sharply the number of standing committees In both the Houso and the Senate.) It also UPS the salaries of members of Congress by $5,000 $2500 actual Increase In salary and an additional $2500 In the way of a non-taxable expense ac count, bringing the total pay to $15,000 a year. The President has signed the bill, and It Is now a law. 1 S to the Increased salary, the U JOB is worth it If the MAN is worth It. That Is to say, a com petent representative or senator will fully earn his $15,000 a year. (An Incompetent In Congress has been extravagantly OVER PAID at $10,000 a year.) a a 1AIE should keep clear In our H minds WHY we get incom pctcnts In Congress. It is because wo VOTE for the WRONG KIND of men. a a ANE of the things wrong with J Congress Is admirably lllus truted by the vote of Representa tive Ailgcll (of the Multnomah County, Oregon, district) on this pay increase. He voted against it because (he said) he foil that If members of Congress are to get a raise lower-paid employees of Government should get a raise first. Maybe he meant It. But H would have been interesting to see what he would have done if his had been the deciding vole. As it was, he know the bill was going to pass and so he might as well get the credit of voting against It because he was GOING TO GET THE RAISE ANYWAY, One of Omar Khayam's fam ous lines advises: "Ah, take the cash and let the credit go, nor heed the music of a distant drum." Angell goes Omar one better and takes BOTH cash and credit. That Is a basic form of Insin cerity that has always been far too common in Congress. In these days, As never before, we need WHOLLY SINCERE men there. T1DELANDS By CHARLES V. STANTON We have more than a passing personal interest in the Tidelands issue now before the Supreme Court. Congress attempted to determine the question by legislation, but ran into a presidential veto. Strength to override the veto was lacking. The controversy involves the ocean bed from the coastline to the three-mile limit. While Harold Ickes was serving as Secretary of the Interior, he proposed that title to this three mile strip along the nation's coastline be vested in the fed eral government. Objection was raised from many quarters but principally from the State of California, for offshore lands along the coast of that state are productive of oil in some areas, and, therefore, are of great importance to the state, which seeks to prove ownership. California brought suit in the federal court to support its claim of stale rights. Congress, in the meantime, passed a bill renouncing federal claims and giving the states clear title. President Truman vetoed the bill on the grounds that the Supreme Court and not the Congress should decide the matter of title. If the court should decide ownership to be vested in the federal government, then the Congress should not quit claim the lands, Truman held. If, on the sustain the claim of the states, unnecessary. ' Our porspnal interest in this oil, but pertains, rather, to fish conservation. The right of a state to regulate offshore fisheries has never been clearly defined. Some states, we are informed, do maintain offshore fishing regulations, but legal determi nation of their powers has not boon made. The forthcoming decision in the Tidelands case should govern. If title is vested in the federal government, then federal control of offshore fisheries must be sought through Congress. On the other hand, if it is ruled that title remains with the stutes, then state legislatures will be able to impose needed regulations. Oregon conservationists are tive practices by offshore trawlers. At this season of the year, the mouths of our coastal Btroams prior to their snawninir migrations. As one travels along our Oregon coast today he can see hundreds of small fishing craft working just out side the line of breakers, plying back and forth across the mouths of our streams. They are taking hundreds of thou sands of pounds of salmon. They probably kill or maim many times tne number of tish they catch. They destroy thousands of immature salmon, which congregate with tbe adult fish. There is an imperative need provide a sanctuary around streams. When the fish congregate for their annual migra tion to upriver spawning beds, to constant destructive and wasteful fishing. methods. " Anyone familiar with present-day offshore fisheries will admit that thousands upon thousands of immature salmon are killed or crippled the cripples being easy prey for predators while there also salmon. But at present we do not know who has the authority to impose corrective legislation. is made, we will know where VVe 'cannot expect to obtain suitable regulations without a fight, for we will be faced with the same type of moneyed lobby, maintained by packing interests, which has blocked reforms in commercial net fishing within our streams.

As soon as atomic energy is put to use, dams will be useless. But men and women will fish as long as they Inhabit this earth. With this dam and all the lum ber they are about to take out of the river's watershed, the North Umpqua Is apt to be a sorry looking river In the near future. The river and all the land along Its borders should be set aside by the State of Oregon or our national government as a park to let the coming genera tions see what a river looked like as nature intended a river to look. The power they get from the Winchester dam certainlv does not comnensute for keeping this obstruction on the river. Also, lloseburff could cet all the water It needs, whether the Winchester dam was used for an atomic bomb experiment or not. You can publish this Icier If you see fit to do so.

Lowell's was first established here In 1934 at a site across the street, Rhoden said. The con tinual growth of the store has justified his faith in this city, he said.

On his first trip through In 1933. he decided to establish his business here. The store is named for his son, Lowell, who is an Army veteran now attending college, Mr. Rho den said.
