It Is hoped lo obtain a considerable number of spring and fall Chinook salmon eggs and silver salmon eggs which will he hatched and reared to large size before release. Already approximately 23.000 eggs have been obtained from an eastern Oregon stream and about 10,000 from the Umpuua. It is anticipated that additional eggs will be obtained from the Umpqua and possibly a intra stream. All released fish will be marked for later Identification so that the success of plantings can be determined. It Is hoped that every step possible will be taken to Insure the greatest escapement of adults to the spawning grounds ano mat extra patrol protection will be afforded those adults once they reach the resting area. Much dis cussion centered around the measures designed to protect young seaward migrating salmon which might require special sea sonal closures of the river to the angling for small fish In the lower sections. Rayner discussed steps which have been taken to promote es capement of adult salmon such as winter closure of the off shore troll fishery and minimum size limits. Mention was made of stream Improvements like dam removals and ladder construction over permanent dams and barri ers. It is hoped that the tenta tive program gets widespread dis cussion and promotes additional suggestions from interested sportsmen.

In which Crawford himself serves, Is Just as bad as the other counties, he said. He said he thought Judges In that county handle too many cases: "Accuracy flies out the window when you try to go too fast." Crawford proposed a school for trial Judges, where they could study errors In past cases and means to prevent them. "Error is the termite In the temple of Justice," he said. "It is expensive in wear and tear and It includes stomacn ulcers ani nervoiM disorders to say noth ing of the effect on lives of peo ple In the state." The state bar yesterday voted to study bar examination papers of recent years to find out why students do not pass, and wheth er schools are deficient In teach ing methods. 185 Are Known Dead As Fire Traps Victims (Continued from Page One) It was to be her last cruise of the season.. Hundreds of passengers es caped In a frantic, screaming, pushing mob, after they were awakened bv alarms and cries of "fire." Some leaped to the pier, some to otner vessels, some into the water. Others were trapped and their uncounted bodies were still be lieved to be huddled In the sub merged Cdeck. The death toll rose as firemen kept bringing up the charred, broken bodies of the victims. Fat Not Established They said It might be three days before the fate of all those aboard could be established. It was Impossible to compile a list of survivors for the time being. The total number aboard was not accurately known, because neith er passenger nor crew lists were available. The operating department of Canada Steamship Lines, owners of the ruined vessel, said the best estimate they could make as that there were aporoxlmate ly 517 passengers and 173 crew members. Two women died In hospital. One of them was Identified as Mrs. Eunice Dietrich of Cleve land, O. All except about 20 of the fiassengnrs were said to be Amer cans. The vessel arrived here last night from Cleveland and I)etroit for her last cruise of the season to Prescott and the Thous and Islands. Causa Not Known The cause of the blaze was not known, but firemen said they had established that it started in stateroom No. 462 on the star board side, two cabins aft of the cocktail bar. Within three minutes after It started, witness es said, the whole of C deck was afire. A pier watchman turned In the first alarm after seeing "a glim mer of fire near the stern." Not two minutes after he telephoned, he said, the whole ship seemed ablaze. As daylight came, firemen worked with pike pole and shovel In the wreckage, bringing out bodies. Sometimes there were three or four bodies, sometimes only broken, charred parts of bodies. Chief Coroner Smlrle Lawson arranged to set up a temporary morgue at the Horticultural build ing of the Canadian National exhibition four miles west along the lake shore. Relatives and friends were to go there to Identi fy the dead. The Noronlc's blackened hull, which settled by the stern before dawn and listed sharply against her pier, went down at the bow around mid morning and straightened up on the bottom of the slip. The name Noronie, almost un hlemKihed by the smoke and flames on her prows, sank to the level of the roadway, where a crowd of 2.000 onlookers stood watching. Firemen had to cut through the steaming wreckage with torches to bring out 11 charred, unidentified bodies from the sa loon section bv 7:15 a. m. The Weather U. .

None of the steel firms have flatly refused to accept the fact finders report. All have said they are willing to negotiate if not committed In advance to paying the full cost of pensions and insurance.

But 8.000 miners In Wyoming and Utah already were out of the pits In what union officials called a spontaneous stoppage. Union officials in the west said they had nothing to do with the walkout at all, that the men were protest ing the lack of n contract. Operator spokesmen, said men heading back Into the pits were stopped by union officers. That happened Just before Lewis an nounced the end of welfare pay ments. The trustees' meeting was fol lowed by the sudden resignation of the operators' trustee, Ezra Van Horn. He wrote coal owners he wanted to step out right away.

Limiting Term Of President Progress Slow iB The Aiaorleted PreMi The proposed constitutional amendment to limit future U.S. presidents to two terms gained little ground this year. It was approved by North Da kota and South Dakota. That rais ed the total of slates that have ratified it to 23. It must have the approval of 13 more before It can go Into effect. 1 A survey today Constitution ; day showed the proposition had lost much of Its early momen-, turn. i Congress started the proposed twenty-second amendment on the round of state legislatures in March, 1947. It gave the states seven years, or until March, 1954, to make up their minds about it. If 36 states accept it before the deadline, if will become law. The amendment was ratified III 1947 by 18 states, among them Oregon. Three other states followed suit in 1948. But only the two Dakotas approved the amendment In 1949. This was a rough year for the proposal. Rseolutions to ratify were defeated or sidetracked in 12 states including Washington. Comparatively few legislatures meet in the even-numbered years.

Over twenty years ago, the Congress of the United States passed the Railway Labor Act It was hailed by union leaders as a model for the settlement off labor disputes. Tire liaoeu of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, Order of Railway Conductors, and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen on the Missouri Pacific Railroad have refused to avail themselvea of the peaceful means provided by this Act for settling their dis putes. They insist that they be the sole umpire of their own dispute over the meaning of contracts. There is A'o Meed for Strikes With all of the available methods for the interpretation of contracts, there is no need for a strike or oven a threat of a strike, but the leaders of them railroad unions have ignored the ordinary pro cedures established by law and insist upon imposing their own interpretations of their contracts by means of a strike. The wheels have stopped rolling on the Missouri Pacific. They may stop rolling on other railroads at any time. Recently the Wabash Railroad was forced to dis smtinue operation for several day under limilar circumstance. What Are These Strikes About? These strikes and strike threats are not about wage rates or hours. They result from disputes over the meaning of exist ing contracts. They cover claims for a full day's pay for leas than a day's work, or for payments for service performed by others who were fully paid for the work done. President Truman's Board Condemns Strike There is an established legal method for handling disputes involving existing writ ten contracts just as there is such a method of settling any contract dispute) which you may have in your daily life. The President of the United State ap pointed Fact Finding Board to investi gate and adjust the Missouri Pacific dis pute. This Board reported, in part, as follows: "...

The Missouri Pacific Railroad has bee and is entirely willing to hare these dis pute settled in accordance with the re- quirementa of the Railway Labor Act. Regardless of this fact, the onion leaders have shut down that railroad. Innocent Bystanders Suffer Losses and Hardships There are about 6,000 engineers, firemen, conductor-, and trainmen on the Missouri, Pacific They are known as "operating"; employes, and are the most highly paid of all employes on the nation's railroads, but their strike action has resulted in the loss of work to 22,500 other employes of the Missouri Pacific, In addition, they haw imposed great inconvenience and hard ship upon the public and the communities served by that railroad.
