I 1 ROSEBURS" NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG', OREGON. TUESDAY, raKUATtY XI. 1748 SEVEN steelhead over 20 Inches must be counted in the aggregate. The Game Commission has not allowed in its tentative regula tions requests for a winter limit on tiout. Efforts were made at the healing in Portland Jan. 9 to secure authority for an "inciden tal" trout catch by steelhead fish ermen and failure of the commis sion to include a daily limit, as re quired, is accepted by anglers as a denial. Further argument may be presented when the commis sion meets again to make its reg ulations final. Proposed Changes in Angling Regulations Will Affect Both North. South Umpqua Rivers Trout fishermen on the Umpqua River will have an opening date May 1, with closure Oct. 31, if tentative rules promulgated by the Game Commission arp finally approved. Trout six inches or more in size, including salmon and steel head under 20 inches, mav be tak en during the proposed May 1 Oct. 31 season in the North and South Umpqua rivers and tribu taries, but an 8-inch limit will ap- f)ly In the main Umpqua river oe ow The Forks. The 8-ineh limit will applv in tidewater from June 15 to July 31, while 6-inch fish may be taken in tidewater dur ing August above Winchester Head ut Winchester Bay. All tide water will be open to trout fish ing with a ti-inch limit from Sep tember 1 to Oct. 31. Deadline Changed Steelhead, 20 Inches or more, may be taken from May 1 to Oct. 31 in all waters not specifically closed, except that the South Umpqua river, exclusive of tribu taries, will be open to steelhead fishing below Coffee Pot Side Camp during the month of May. Previously the deadline was at Jackson Creek. The new deadline extends the fishing area about 15 miles. The deadline will return to Jackson Creek after May 31. Winter steelhead fishing season is set from Nov. 1 to March 1 in the North River, exclusive of trib utaries, and the deadline raised to include the Rock Creek pool, instead of at The Narrows at Idleyld. The South Umpqua will be open for winter steelhead fish ing to Jackson Creek. Elk and Calapooia Creeks will be closed east of the Pacific Highway. The proposed bag limit is two fish daily, but not more than four fish in possession or in any seven con secutive days. Salmon Regulations The spring Chinook salmon sea son will close May 31, with the South Umpqua open to Coffee Pot Side Camp. The big limit will remain at one fish per dav and not more than two fish in any seven consecutive days. There will be an open season on salmon, not less than 20 inches, from June 1 to July 31 in tidewater below the highway bridge at Reedsport, and the sil verside salmon season will be open from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31. Closures include all tidewater from the Umpqua Jetties to Win chester Head at Winchester Bay, Aug. 1 to Aug. 31; all waters to steelhpad fishing from Mar. 1 to April 30; all waters above high way bridge at Reedsport to sal mon fishing June 1 to Aue. 31: all waters, including all tidewa ters to west end of jetties, to sal mon fishing Aug. 1 to 31. The bag limit of salmon and Social Security System Widening Asked by Truman WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 tin President Truman asked Con gress yesterday to broaden the social security system to provide an citizens some protection against the mator economic haz ards of our society. ' He estimated the additional cost at $115,000,000 in the 19-19 fiscal year beginning next July 1. The president included these specific proposals in his budget message: 1. Extension of old-age and sur vivors insurance to all gainful workers, including agricultural and domestic employes, farmers and other self-employed persons. 2. An increase in individual benefits and in the maximum amount of earnings taxable. (At present only the first $3,000 of earnings are taxable.) 3. Provision for a national sys tem of health insurance and im proved services and facilities for public health and medical care, with a 1 of 1 per cent tax on sal aries up to $4,800 a year effective next Jan. 1 to start paying for it. 4. Extension of unemployment compensation coverage to em ployes of small businesses and as many other groups os feasible. 5. Allotment of federal grants for public assistance on the basis of financial resources and needs of each state. Mr. Truman gave few details, saying he will discuss his social security recommendations, includ ing temporary and nermnnent rii- ability insurance benefits, in a special message to be sent to Con gress later. -1 ifcf ii imr i ii A m i J LA)l BASKETBALL ACTION The picture above wat taken during tome of the tenter moments in the basketball game Friday be tween Roteburg and Coquille.

Compensation Claims Reach New igh in December With nearly double the num ber of unemployed people report ing for unemployment compensa tion claims over November, a high point was reached in claims payments for Douglas County during December, according to the monthly labor market bulle tin released today bv the Oregon State Employment Service in Roseburg. "The last two weeks In the year brought a decided change in the employment picture of the coun ty, the bulletin states. "Many operations closed down to give their employes a Christmas va cation and to make a few repairs necessitated by continuous opera tion. "This situation will take care of itself shortlv after the first of the year by the return of the majority of these people to their Jobs. Snow, in the higher regions, has curtailed some of the logging, but there have been no far reach ing effects. " "The only apparent shortages in this area at this time are in the clerical, sales, and service fields. This is particularly true with re gard to stenographers, bookkeep ers, typists, etc." There was a sharp reduction of applicants from outside areas visiting the emolovment office during December. This was large ly aue 10 tne noitaay season, the bulletin states. From 372 appli cants during November, the total dropped to 2t7 during December. Job Chances Decreased Opportunities for employment likewise remained at a low level. Ac the end of December, there were but 47 unfilled openings listed at the employment ottice, with more than half in the cleri cal and service fields. While the December total of employed people in 30 non-manufacturing establishments contact ed showed a slight increase, it Is expected that there will be a de crease during January. This is be cause of the release of many workers In the retail trade field. It is believed the over-all em ployment total will generally in crease in January. The basis for this observation, the bulletin states, being the return to nor mal operating schedules In the lumner industry. While 85 new vetpmn annllefl. tlons for work were taken, there were no notices received to the effect that men from this area had been dischared from the service, the report continues. "The workers available In this area are more than enough to fill the nepds of the industry, gener ally speaking. The high level of unemployment Is exnected to con tinue through January. "There has been no noticeable nmerenee in the housing situa. tlon as far as outsiders are con' cernen, put it Is believed that imuiMimeu resiaenis wno are forced to move have been finding It a little bit easier to find new accommodations, the bulletin con- ciuaes.

It wasn't as dramatic as the stories on grain speculation, aid to Eu rope, or anti-inflation legislation. Yet the first two reports of the President's Commission on High er Education may prove, 10 years hence, to have been the most im portant stories of the lot. Americans are accustomed to think that they are not only the most properous and best fed peo ple on earth, but also the best ed ucated. The first two boasts may hA tnt. ThA UlA .. ,.1. . i not. Of other principal world powers. Great Britain spends con siderably more per capita on edu cation than we do. Russia spends much more than considerably more. The war highlighted and aggra vated a condition that has been developing for some time. The President's comml: .ion called fur ther attention to It, but tlie reve lation has been coming along, piecemeal, for some time. Only recently a careful study showed that the great state of New York had a sorry record in the matter of education. Shortages Serious One war-aggravated result of this chronic neglect.

It would also Inject the federal gov ernment farther Into the state and local province of the school system, even though indirectly. All this guarantees the plan a loud, long and vigorous opposi tion. Nevertheless, when the opposi tion has stated Its case, the facts remain for all to see. It has been clear for some time that the coun try would one day have to face the consequences of indifferen:e and lack of equal opportunity In its educational system. After long study, the President's commission presented the facts as it saw them. No nation can be healthy and safe, let alone a progressive lead er among other nations, without putting its best minds to good training and good use. year att er year and generation after genera tion. Since the war. we have of. fered higher education to veter ans as a reward for their servloe. Now we must somehow start to give those same opportunities to all who can take good advanta ge of them, for the sake of thuir country as well as themselves.
