They add that they don't, see how the Communists can be kept out PI the new Italian govern ment that will follow the election. REMEMBER: In Italy It won't be just a case of one party winning all and (he others losing all. In this April 18 election upon which the eyes of the world are presently fixed, 22 parties wll have tickets. In such a mess, it is fairly ob vious that the Communist com bination of parties, If it gets at much as 4Q per cent of the total vote, will be able to force some of its men Into the government. t REMEMBER this also: ' If the Communists arc able to force themselves Into the new Italian government, they will reach first for the ministry that CONTROLS THE POLICE. They will then proceed to set up a.se ret police system. In all these "isms" (which ba Ically are rackets designed to en able a few men at '.he top to got the bulk of the gravy) the secret police system is the mainspring that runs the clock. t t FACED by this prospect, we add more candy to the sack we're promising the Italians if they vote right We announce in Washington that the United States will pay four and a halt million dollars for work Italian war prisoners did in wartime 111 America. We don't say WHEN we'll pay the dough. We leave that to the Italian voter's imagination. ' THE present Italian government (which is on our side) goes out for all the votes It can get. It announces that Italians abroad will be given free passage home if they get there by a "certain specified time' The barb in that hook Is the practically certainey that if they get there AKrER April 18 they'll have trouble collecting. IN Washington, President Tru man tells his press conference that the United States Is culling off its partition of Palestine poli cy because It has become appar ent that partition cannot be en forced WITHOUT AMERICAN TROOPS. That is to say: We started something in Pales tine on the spur of the moment. Later we discovered that what we had started couldn't be finish ed without fighting. So we are saying, in effect: "We'll talk, but we won't fight." In such a case, what would YOU think IP YOU WERE RUN NING RUSSIA?

CITIZENS AT WORK By CHARLES It is easy to understand why most progressive municipalities to meet its people. It is our more pf its citizens actively affairs than any city of its We have been attending the by the Reedsport Chamber of years. Each time we attend is only to be expected in a most gratifying tp find men residents for only a comparatively short time active on Chamber of Commerce committees, hard at work on civic projects, and exerting real, sqlid effort for community improvement. Too often newcomers are not ticipate in civic affairs, but it is quite apparent that; t,he Reedsport Chamber of Commerce has a man at work on a local project by the time he gets his hat off. Before his busi ness sign goes up in front of his store, he is digging into one of the community s many Things were not always so at when that area was constantly and abused. But the "growing passed and Reedsport nejther the usual measure of cooperation expected and necessary between communities. Ppssibly the activity is due ocean breezes, but one senses and endeavor after only a few Talk for a few minutes with any Reedsport resident and you find yourself in the midst of a discussion relating to civic improvement, projects completed, in progress or projected, or you listen to a sales talk that would do credit tp a Los Angeles real estate broker. Reedsport people have pride in their city and they don't care who knpws it. In fact, you don't have to drop a hat tp get Pne of them started telling yeu about it. And, to one who has always had a great feeling the lower Umpa.ua country, most gratifying to bump jnto a newcomer, who perhaps hasn't lived in Reedsport as many hours as we've spent troll ing Umpqua waters, and have him start giving us an en thusiastic, full-stop recital of Ueedsport's past, present and future. Boy, how we love it! We don't know what kind of and Earl Baltazar, Chamber but they appear to be obc to every Reedsport resident. And Nor are the tasks of minor mined on a port capable of handling ocean-going freighters, and to that end is working Engineers, the Oregon congressional delegation, and stindry other agencies, departments and individuals having to do with river and harbor improvement. Reedsport knows that timber from the inland section of the Umpqua basin should gp through its port, and it is joining with Roseburg in seek ing a commercial highway from the central valley to deep water. The lower Umpqua has Pacific Coast's finest recreational areas, and a strong group is promoting fomation of a recreational district.. Cooperat ing with the Oregon Coast Highway Association, Reeds port and we use the name of the town to include the entire lower river area is working industriously for a better road and tourist travel promotion. Then, too, it is working to build levees to halt encroachment of flood waters, filling low anils, expanding and improving to schoo) facilities, promoting a hospital, enlarging the mu nicipal water system, and doing a few hundred more civic jobs. We wish some of that invigorating salt air could be blown up this way. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting f yitem 1400 KMooyclea HE MAIN IN O HUUII TOUA1 4:00-.-Fulton Lewi, Jr. 41,'V- Frink Hcmlnnway, L. A.

Winter. Steelhead Catch on Umpqua Reveals Decline Despite greatly Increased fish ing intensity, amounting to Vi, 500 days of anglini? effort from Nov. 1 through Feb. 29, the win ter steelhead catch on the Umn- qua itiveramounted to approxi mately ,iuu nsn lor tne imy 48 season as compared with 4.- 000 fish in 1946-47 when anglers spent 11,000 days of effort. The report on the winter catch has tieen mane to tne Oregon Game Commissiqn by H. R. Newcomb, Kosenurc. tlslierv biologist, who is in charge of the Umpqua River siuuy. Excellent cooperation on the part of many sports fishermen has made the study possible. New- comb reports. One reason for the smaller catch is found in water and weather conditions, it is reported, but the study shows a smaller mi gration, a ratio of catch to es capement approximately equal to last season,' but greatly increased intensity on the upperVfver. Data Kcveais Lower I .Vko Comparisons with datavbtained during the previous run c wn ter steelhead show a marked de cline in the rate of catch, going irom .j( nsn per angler in ltwi 47 to .20 in 1947-48, the report states. The distribution of average ang ler success, however, remained about constant, with the lower river anglers taking .23 fish per angler, and upriver sportsmen getting an average of .155. Last season the relationship between lower and upper river angling success was .40 and .33 fish per angler, respectively. "Despite the sharply decreased steelhead escapement above tide water during tne open season ol 1947-48." the report continues, and the much slower rate of mi gration, due to the prolonged period of low, cold water, the ra tio of catch to escapement at Win chester dam counting station was only slightly less than a year ago. ine most interesting cnange taking place since last year is that concerned with the distri bution of fishing effort. Com pared to the number of fishermen days on the lower river in 1946 47 there was an 18 per cent de crease during the season just ter minated wnne the tipper area ex- icrieneea an amazing it per cent ncrease in angling effort. "A portion of this phenomenal increase may be explained by the fact that part of the run came ex ceptionally earl-- this season and consequently upper river anglers were out for a longer period. Even so, about 87 er cent of this increase compared favorable per iods in ihiiii years. "Instead of a high concentra tion in the lower river, as was the case last year, there was a tainy unilorm spread of aiiclcrs. The total effort was 13.6 per cent greater than the previous year."

Eight Changes Are Adopted In Basketball Rules NEW YORK (.T) -Eight new rules will govern basketball games next season. None of the changes is major. A casual spectator may not no tice them at all. The new regulations were adopt ed by the National Basketball Committee at its annual meeting here. The committee has 20 mem bers, representing colleges, high schools, the AAU, YMCA and Canadian organizations. Here are the changes: 1. The clock will be stopped every time the ball becomes dead during the final two minutes of a college game. In the past it has been stopped each time during the last three minutes. No change was made in the high school rule which stops the clock on each dead ball after five minutes of the fourth quarter. 2. A foul committed on a hrow-ln from out of bounds on a dead ball will be charged as a personal instead of a technical tool. 3. No offensive team will be al lowed to place as many as three players in close formation on anv restraining line when taking the ball from out of bounds. 4. A player taken out during a time out period can return before play is resumed. 5.. A coach can talk with his team at the bench during time outs. 6. Substitutes will be required to report only to the score-keeper upon entering the game and will not have to report to the referee. 7. A player who commits a foul must raise his hand so he can be identified by the spectators. 8. All jump balls will be made at the nearest of three six-foot circles.
