LETTER FROM WASHINGTON
. by HARRIS ELLSWORTH 1
Congressman, 4th Oregon District (
Cdmp'ctitive examinations Tor
yoUnfe men who might wish to
enter the U. S. Naval Academy
at Annapolis or the ,U. S. Military
Academy at West Point will be
hIH .Tunn 19th in tho rmct nfftro
bullldjms in a number ol cities in
the Fourth Congressional Dis-
trlnr On thi hn:its nf urarlrM!
earned, I will make appointments
to 111! several vacancies, ana will
be clad to furnish complete de
tails to anyone interested.
The corrtpctltive examinations
referred to are not cademy en
trance tests, but are examinations
conducted by the Civil Service
Commission for the purpose of
providing me with a rating of
the scholastic ability of applicants
for appointment. It is my policy
to. appoint .boys making the high
est grades in these examinations.
Those wno are appointed win en
ter the academics July 1, 1949.
The number of those applying
for academy appointments has de
creased considerably durine the
last two years. I mention this fact
to give encouragement, to inose
boys who would like to apply but
hesitate to do so, fearing the field
of competition is too crowded.
There may be some tendency also
to tninK tnar, Decause incse ap
pointments , arc made by Con
gressmen and Senators, Some sort
of Influence is required. Every
boy in my Congressional District
has equal opportunity to win an
appointment. If he makes a good
grane in tne competitive examina
tion referred to, can pass the
physical examination, and has a
good personal record, ne win De
appointed.
It seems to me the opportunity
for receiving an education at one
of the two academies is well
worth working for. Although
they are naval and military
academies, the training given is
of college standard. A career of
honorable service awaits those
who graduate. i
Flaw In U. N. Revision
A number of Senators and Rep
resentatives have recently spon
sored legislation calling for adras
tic revision of the United Nations
organization. I shall not attempt
to discuss the details of the pro
posal other than to say that, on
the face of it, the idea would ap
pear to pave the way for the divi
sion of the nations of the world
into two opposing groups,, one
led. by the United States and the
other by Russia, It is true . that
such a division seems to exist
now, but Without the official sanc
tion of the world organization. .
It seems t'p me those who are
sponsoring the revision idea over
looked one important fact. The
UN was formed for the purpose
of preventing future wars of ag
gression and was not actually set
up to settle the differences arising
out of World War n. In otheV
words, UN is fundamentally an
organization to keep peace after
peace is established, but peace has
not yet been won.
. . The proposal to rpvise the UN
organization will not he acted
upon by Congress at this session.
That is a eood thine, because I
feel that such a step should be
taken wtlh great caution arid only
alter considerable deliberation,

Will Protect Fish,
Biologist States
Electric screens eventually will
solve the problem ,of diverting
fish from power turbines, irriga
tion .ditches, etc., but much ex
perimental work remains before
perfect -performance may be ex-
rted from equipment, says Dr
B. Holmes, fisheries biologist,
serving with the U. & Fish and
Wildlife Service. , ,
. Although he is, on a vacation
and stopped in Roseburg to Visit
briefly with his brother, W, C.
Holmes, nd family, Dr. Holmes
is too Intent, upon the scientific
study ,oi fisheries to spend his
time strictly in recreation. .. .
While relatives waited for his
visit. Dr. Holmes was, engaged
in . a scientific discussion , with
Ross. Neweomb, Qregori Game
Department biologist in charge of
the .Umpqua River stVidy.
Dr. Holmes has been engaged
for a number of years In study
of electric screening for fish
control, and has recently compil
od a preliminary 90-page report
on the "History, Development
and Present Problems of Electric
Fish Screens." UDon his return
to his headquarters at Seattle, he
will edit and publish the report
which will be -used cooperatively
by the Fish and Wildlife Service
and the. Bureau of Reclamation.
Although the first patent on
fish screens in the United States
was secured in 1917, Dr. Holmes
states, the process still is in the
experimental Stage. Partial suc
cess has been obtained, but much
work remains to be done.
During his vacation trip he
plans to istudy several Installa
tions made In recent years in
California.. . .
The first electric fish, screen
in Oregon Is soon to be installed,
he reports, by the Pacific Power
and LJght CO., in Hood River,
and the results will be given close
study, he says.
