Depression Cry
Deplored By
Senator Lucas
Democratic Whip Scores
Republicans' Proposal
For Relief Program
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, June 16 OP)
Senator Lucas of Illinois, the
Democratic leader, said Wednes
day people had better quit gab
bing about a depression or the
country may talk itself into one.
' "I might go back to 1933 and re
peat the words of Frankln D.
Roosevelt to say that 'the only
thing we have to fear is fear it
selfthey are just as true today
as iney were men, L.ucas torn a
reporter.
The Senator's comment came in
response to an announcement by
Senator Brewster (R-Mel-that Re
publicans soon will sponsor a $50;
000,000 public works and relief
planning program "to meet the
growing Democratic depression."
The measure would not provide
money lor public works but would
lock forward to starting them
when deemed advisable.
Lucas said he doesn't think the
Republicans are doing the coun
try anv good by talking about a
depression at a time when, the
Democratic leader said, the nation
seems merely to be going through
Va "leveling off" process.
"All of the talk a couple of
months or so ago was tnat prices
were too high," he said. .Now,
when thpy have begun leveling
off, the Republicans are raising
a great cry about depression.
Taft To Prooose Plan
Chairman Taft of Ohio said he
will lay before the Republican
Policy Committee a suggestion
that the GOP foster a bill to set up
a framework for a relief program
to be administered by the states.
He said he had been mulling
over in his mind a proposal under
which the federal government
would make grants to states when
the number of relief cases reached
a certain percentage of the popu
lation.
"We don't want another WPA
like Harry Hopkins ran," Taft
said. "If relief becomes necessary,
it should be handled by the states
at the local level.
He said he doesn't think too
much of the idea of setting up a
public works planning program,
commenting that quite a bit of
work already has been done in
that line.
Lucas noted in this connection
that public works planning has
been, unnderway for some time.
The Federal Works Administra
tion has devoted considerable time
to such planning, without predict
ing a depression.

will hear any recommendations
or requests in connection with
hunting regulations for the ensu
ing 12 months. The public is in
vited by the commission to par
ticipate in the discussion to be
held at the Game Department
Building in Portland.

OREGON THURSDAY, JUNE
New Hatchery Will Be Built
In Coastal Area; Anglers Are
Awaiting Reservoir Opening
The Oregon State Game Com
mission at their regular June
meeting gave their approval for
the construction of a new trout
hatchery on the Oregon coast.
The site selected is on Big Creek,
in Lane County. Dr. H. J. Rayner
of the Fishery Division and Mr.
E. W. Goff, superintendent . of
hatcheries, have been conducting
extensive studies along the coast
to find a suitable location and
water supply for a new trout
hatchery. It was on their recom
mendation the Commission made
its decision to go ahead with the
development of the Big Creek
site.
C. A. Lockwood. state game
supervisor, stated that engineer
ing and construction work would
be rushed in the hope the hatch
ery could be placed into opera
tion sometime next year.
Good Angling 'Awaited
The opening of Crane Prairie
Reservoir to fishing for the first
time in many years has created
a statewide interest among the
angling fraternity. Opening date
is June 15, and for the past two
weeks many inquiries have been
received at the Oregon State
Game Commission office concern
ing the prospects for success.
Kooeri Borovicka, uame com
mission fishery field agent for the
Bend Area, reports that the Res
ervoir and the Deschutes River
above the Reservoir contain manv
large rainbow trout. He pointed I
out tnat many ot tnese nsh have
parasites known as copepods in
their gills and near the fins. He
stated that these parasites do not
atiect tne eating quality ot tne
fish and that no harm to humans
can result from eating the trout.
the Deschutes River directly
above Crane Prairie Reservoir
from Cow Camp Bridge to De
schutes Bridge opens June 15 too,
Dut tnis section ot water is re
stricted to fly fishing only. The
bag limit for the whole area is
five fish per day. It is understood
at the Game Commission office
that boats will be available for
rental at the reservoir.
Trash Fish Control Under Way
Trash fish control work for
1949 is now well under way at
some of Oregon's Cascade lakes.
Many of the lakes pf Oregon have
had rough fish introduced into
them, quite possibly by unthink
ing anglers who brought them to
be used as live bait. Although
this practice is prohibited by law,
it has occurred extensively in the
past. These fish reproduce very
rapidly and have built up to the
point in many lakes where thry
compete for the food present in
the lake to such an extent that
'iris you miles ahead.

the effects on game fish are
disastrous.
For several years, the Oregon
State Game Commission has car
ried on an extensive program of
controlling the numbers of these
rough fish. This year's control
work started at Diamond Lake
on June 1, and will continue until
the first of October. An estimated
seven million roach have . been
killed in the lake during the
period from June 1 through June
9. In spite of the fact that during
the past three years approxi
mately twenty million of these
trash fish have been poisoned,
due to their high rate of repro
duction, it is thought that roach
are still at a dangerous popula
tion level in the lake.
Habitat Plan Slow
In general, the habitat improve
ment program inaugurated just a
year ago by the Oregon State
Commission, has gotten well un
der way. The program is design
ed to improve habitat for big
game, upland game, waterfowl
and furbearers. Although the
work is unspectacular, it is
thought by game men to be vitally
important in the long range pro
gram." One segment of the habitat im
provement work for waterfowl
has been meeting with difficult".
The work for waterfowl has been
mainly in two parts, one consist
ing of improvement work on
large tracts of land that will be
used both as nesting and resting
areas' and also as public shooting
grounds. The other part consists
of many, very small developments
lor nesting and resting areas. It
is this work which has been slow
in getting started.
Mr. Frank Stanton, chief of
habitat improvement for the
Game Commission, stated he is
searching for small areas In the
Willamette Valley for this won?.
Une or two acre tracts which
can be leased for three to five
years are needed. The areas
would be fenced, water developed,
and plantings made of grains and
beneficial shrubs or plants. With
numerous developments of this
type, resting and nesting areas
would be provided for waterfowl,
and it is also thought they would
aid in holding these migratory
birds for a longer period of time
in Oregon.
Anyone owning or knowing of
small waste tracts which could
be used i this manner is asked to
write to Mr. Frank Stanton. Chief
