By CHARLES V. STANTON We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. R. G. Allen of Portland who protests the lack of adequate fishways at the Winchester power dam. , The Winchester dam has long; been criticised by many anglers, particularly upriver steelhead fishermen. Ap parently Mr. Allen has been listening to some of those com . plaints and has received both correct and incorrect informa tion. Mr. Allen writes: For the paat several years I fished the North Umpqua river In the area above Glide, concentrating on your most elusive steelhead. When I have been fortunate enough to hook one of these fighters. It has given me the thrill of the season. But, alas, that has been all too Infrequent of late. In looking Into the migration of steelhead In your North Umpqua, I find that the dam at Winchester Is a very ob vious barricade. Consider the conditions that prevailed dur ing our visit: The water was so low that ths counting board In the fish ladder was barely covered. The fish ladder wae open for only eight hours a day. A fish arriving after that time could either bat his brains out on the dam for 16 hours or else consider It the end of the line and drop back down-river. I am wondering if the steelhead run isn't valuable enough to your section of Oregon to warrant the construction of a more suitable fish ladder which would be open for the full 1 24 hours of each day. Could It be that some of the people responsible for this are considering this dam as a way to stop a hugs pool of fish for Roseburg fishermen to enjoy, rather than allow these fish to proceed upstream In a normal manner. I am sure that If we visitors barricaded the river at some point above Idleyld Park, blocking pass age of the fish so that we could go out and flaih spoons or bait at them until we caught 90 percent of them. It would bring an Immediate protest. Well, I'm protesting about your Winchester dam now. I don't want all the fish no. All I want ia a fair chance at the normal amount of the run which should be coming to Honey creek, Smith Springs, Maple Ridge, and the famous steelhead holes near Steam boat. Mr. Allen is partially correct, but he has a vastly exag gerated idea of the Winchester dam as a barrier to fish migration. The dam, it is true, does slow down upstream movement, because the fish way is improperly located. The fish normally follow the main channel along the south side of the river. The fishway is on the north side. Fish travel along the face of the dam until they find the ladder, occasionally taking a considerable beating en route. With only an infrequent exception, the fishway is ade quate to permit passage of fish. Steelhead have been counted over the ladder at the very lowest stages of water. Steelhead have a peculiar habit of ganging up below any barrier, natural or artificial. They appear to hesitate for a time, then one will start out and the others will follow like sheep. This condition can be found at any natural barrier the same as at the Winchester dam. Hut because the move ment can be more easily observed from the dam, the im pression has been built up that the dam is acting to hold back the fish. The reason the North Umpqua river was closed between the highway bridge and the Winchester dam, upon the recommendation of local sportsmen, was be cause of this natural concentration of fish in that area at times, which disposes of Mr. Allen's argument that Rose burg fishermen, are given an advantage, for the pool in which the fish congregate is closed. The only advantage comes when fish drop back down stream, as they occasion ally do during certain water stages. The fish ladder and the counting station arc not operated on an eight-hour shift, as Mr. Allen says. Ross Newcomb, field agent for the game department, reports that the counting station is manned consistently from daylight until dark. Occasionally the gate is closed for a short time during slack periods, but little interference law X1'1 " ' J I' J i7 0 Ctw' iahnett S.

It is a shrewd observation by one of the world's shrewdest minds. It certainly could be a n accurate forecast for it is within the range of possibility though it may not be probable. The significance of the comm unist chiefs appraisal, as I see it, rests in a point which this column has been emphasizing that Germany is the heart o f European continental de velopments. That was true be fore the great war, and it will be true again. Germany is the key which will unlock the door to peaceful de velopment or the door to trouble. It isn't Just a freak of fortune that the cold war has revolved about the fallen Reich. So if one may he permitted to try to read Stalin's mind, he is figuring on the ultimate unity of the now Red East German repub lic and the democratic Western Republic which recently was formed from the zones occupied by America, Britain and France. He thinks that the unified Ger many will be communistic. Well. It's safe to bet that there will be a combination of the two parts of Germany. Whether the union w ill be communistic or de mocratic remains to be deter mined. However, let's assume for the sake of argument that he is right. Then where do we stand? The answer Is that with such a development we should have as a corollary a Russo-German "al liance" which likely would dom inate Europe In peace or in war. h would create t h e combined strength which Inspires Stalin to say In his message of congratu lations: There Is no doubt that the ex istance of a peace-loving, demo cratic (communistic! Germany, along with the existence of a peace-loving Soviet union, e x -eludes the possibility of new wars In Europe, makes an end to Eur opean bloodshed and makes im possible the servitude of Europ ean countries under world imper ialists Cthe western powers). : The start of world w ar t w o gave us a brief preview of what a Russo-German alliance could mean. Moscow and Berlin signed the non-agression pact which en abled Hitler to send his military steam-roller across western Po land while Russia, by agreement, marched in and annexed the east ern portion. It happened that the two fell out and a universal con flagration followed, but that didn't dedetract from the exhi bition of efficiency displayed by the Russo-German combine while it lasted. So with all this background it's easy to see why the cold war centers in control of Germanv. The western allies are going all out to attract the eastern Ger man republic Into the western German government. The Russ ians, working through the East (rerman government, are equally bent on winning over West Ger many. And the side which wins this battle will have won the cold war.

Why don't the in surance companies put out a policy covering all damage, however silght and give the premium payers a break? ANSWER: You can get a full coverage policy but the cost is very high. In effect, vou would be paying a share in the cost of all those little fender bond ings and headlight breakings all over the country. The re pairs are small but there are lots of them.
