ENCOURAGING RESULTS
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Discontinuance of commercial fishing for game fish in
the Umpqua river already is showing encouraging results.
Fall chinook salmon have been observed at the Winchester
counting station. Silverside salmon tallied at the station
have almost matched the heaviest recorded count of late
years, despite the fact that the lower river run was ex
tremely light.
If the theory of stream fertilization is correct, escape
ment of more salmon into the upper waters of the Umpqua
system should promote better fishing in future years, in
addition to restoring seasonal salmon runs.
The theory is that as salmon spawn and die their carcasses
furnish feed for aquatic insects and promote growth of
plankton, the microscopic animal and vegetable life which
comprises the major part of a fish's diet. Water, like pas
ture, will support only as much life as its food-production
capacity will permit. Thus by promoting aquatic food, a
stream can be made to produce more and larger fish. In
farm ponds, for instance, fish life is enormously increased
through use of ordinary lawn or garden fertilizer on the
water.
We are still far from having sufficient fertilization for
the Umpqua system. Only a few years ago fall salmon were
100 or more times as numerous as at present. Through too
heavy fishing intensity, pollution, damage to watersheds,
siltation and other factors, we have reduced migration
to the danger point. One of the most damaging practices
was unrestricted commercial fishing on depleted species.
This practice now has been virtually halted and already
encouraging results are noted. Not only has upstream mi
gration improved, but downstream migration of small salmon
is reported the best to be seen in many years.
Perhaps it is not yet too late to restore the Umpqua river
as one of the Pacific coast's finest recreational streams.
Those "Radical" Sportsmen
When conservationists in past years have urged steps to
save natural resources they have been marked with the
brand of "radical." In fact, an Oregon editor recently used
that term in blasting at a proposal to close all coastal streams
except the Columbia to commercial fishing.
But it was "radical" sportsmen who aided commercial
fishermen In forcing the federal government to install fisli
ladders around Bonneville dam when that structure was
planned without provision for passage of migratory fish.
"Radical" sportsmen were roundly abused for interfer
ence with the Willamette Valley Flood Control program
when they protested high dams in recreational streams and
insisted that better flood ' control would result from less
expensive small dams high in the mountains. Now we find
a representative of the U, S. Geological Survey advocating
conservation of water before it is "dissipated on the valley
floor" and declaring that the small mountain streams "offer
a challenge and an opportunity to materially increase the
water utilization of the state."
"Radical" sportsmen have long been deploring abuses to
land and urging better soil conservation practices. But now
we find the president of the National Association of Soil
Conservation Districts, reporting that 500,000 acres of
land are lost each year by erosion and waste, insisting that
"farmers must change their thinking about the ownership
of land. We should consider ourselves as trustees for future
generations."
Eventually the American public will have reason to thank
sportsmen and conservationists for their "radicalism."

"Well,
A pretty good test of a speak
er's ability to speak Interestingly
is the way the younger genera
tion pay attention. I. was de
lighted to see so many little boys
and girls at the recent James H.
Bond pictures of Alaska, and to
see small hands waving eagerly
during the question period.
(To be sure, Mr. Bond did re
mark, quite pleasantly, once that
he guessed he's have to" beat up
on about four small boys right
here in front by me," but after
the laugh, said small boys gave
no further trouble.)
Mr. Bond accompanied his two-
hour show with a running com
mentary on the pictures which
were indeed remarkable. Al
though we had read and heard
so much about Alaska we were
quite unprepared for the size of
some of the animals.'. The first
show was sold out so a second
show, not announced in advance,
was put on right after the first
audience left the little theater.
Mr. Bond has remarkable stam
ina and voice control to give
a repeat lecture the same eve
ning. I did wonder why some of
Germans Send
Yule Packages
East And West
By PAUL R. BLOCK
HAMBURG, Germany, Dec. 5.
W This Christmas, for the
first time since the war, Ger
mans are sending Christmas
parcels both east and west.
German parcels to the east will
go almost exclusively to prison
ers of war still in Russia, Yugo
slavia ana oilier eastern coun
tries. Parcels to the west will go
to friends and relatives in wes
tern countries.
However, red tape does not
make it easy for those sending
parcels.
Packages sent eastward may
contain food and articles for
dally use. such as toilet articles
and clothing. But any parcel con
taining printed matter, messag
es, books, or newspapers used
for wrapping material is subject
to confiscation.
Parcels sent to the western
countries contain mostly small
valueless items. Nothing having
trade value cameras, for in
stance, is permitted. Anyway,
the receiver probably would have
to pay heavy duty on the item.
Antiques, souvenirs and needle
work are permitted, however, so
it is a sure bet that thousands
of people will receive such items
Instead of the beautiful Messen
China sets there friends would
like to send them.
The German Red Cross and the
state radio sponsored a drive to
provide Christmas parcels for
Germans spending their fifth
Christmas behind barbed wire.
It was a great success. Germans
in the three western occupation
zones and Berlin gave about 67,
000 individually packed parcels.
Almost a quarter-million marks
$100,000 in cash was donated.
This is being used by the Red
Cross to buy additional parcels.
at the dinner included Glen and
Dickie Woods.
Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Woods
and sons David and Wayne left
Tuesday for Hepner where thev
spent the Thanksgiving holiday
visiting son Donald, a student at
Henner high school. Thev also
visited Mrs. Woods' brother.

his remarks could not have been
recorded and used to relieve him
of the necessity of so long a
talking-period without rest?
Although the author of "From
Out Of These Mountains" has
been giving the lecture with the
film a great many times, one
feels the thrill in his voice as
he lives over in the telling the
adventures he experienced in the
"YUKON Wonderland." For four
months he was in the Yukon
wilderness without seeing a hu
man being other than the two
Indians who accompanied him.
Some idea of the area may be
had when you hear him tell about
the horses . . . grizzlies, mountain
sheep, carbou and other animals,
"unusual" to us, are a lot com
moner than horses, It seems,
thereabouts!
Mr. Bond spent the past sum
mer In the Yukon doing work for
the Yukon Wild Life commission,
making surveys of the game ani
mals, and estimates of their num
bers, and so on.

Nationalism In
Germany Rises;
Concern Is Felt
By JAMES DEVLIN
FRANKFURT, Germany (m
American officials are showing
increasing concern over the ques
tion of rising German national
ism. U. S. High Commissioner John
J. McCloy said there had been
"some rise" in nationalistic ten
dencies in Western Germany.
But he declared he was not cer
tain whether the Increase was
more than could be expected.
A high commission survey
group, basing its report on a poll
of 3,800 Germans, found that na
tionalists are becoming more vo
cal with the lessening of allied
military controls.
The group reported some pol
iticians were "beating drums"
to gather nationalist sympathy
but that there was no evidence
of any general upsurge of the
Nazi-type thinking among the
rank and file.
Earlier McCloy had said he as
sumed there were "areas and
groups still motivated by nation
alism In its sinister sense"
meaning Nazilsm as distinguish
ed from healthy patriotism.
Some American officials have
privately expressed concern at
the increase of Nazi-type publi
cations, particularly in Bavaria.
Throughout Germany nationalists
and neo-Nazi elements have mov
ed more brazenly Into the open.
There also has been increased
stirrings by such groups as the
"friends of Otto Strasser," fol
lowers of one of the founders of
the Nazi party who is now in
exile In Canada. Strasser's ap
peal for return to Germany has
been rejected by the British.
A so-called "neutral move
ment," Including a mixture of
right and left wingers from both
eHst and west Germany, is also
appealing to German nationalism
In a campaign lor unification of
Germany.
The high commission poll
found an almost unanimous de
sire for unity of the Soviet zone
with the allied western zones, but
about TO percent said they didn't
want unification at the price of
Communism.
Commercial plywood as known
today dates from 1905 when it
was first made in St. Johns, Oregon.
In the Day's News
(Continued from' Page One)
that have been flowing toward
socialism (whose underlying the
ory is to leave everything to the
state) may have begun to ebb.
New Zealand's voters this week
reversed their thinking of the past
14 years and elected a majority of
the members of their lower house
of parliament from the National
party, which opposes socialism
and endorses free enterprise.
NEW Zealand, you will recall,
was one of the first of what
we might term the modern "so
cialist republics." Clear back' in
1935 it endorsed the theories of
the welfare state, and undertook
to get for its people what they
wanted by the process of PASS
ING A LAW. ... ., 7
It seems a logical inference
from what has happened there
that after a long and determined
trial the people of New Zealand
may be beginning to doubt that
abundance for everybody may be
obtained in that way.
NEW Zealand is a long way from
us. It Is close to Australia. Dis
patches report that Australian
political observers think the New
Zcalanders turned against the So
cial Labor party because they are
tired of rules and regulations on
what they buy and sell, how much
they pay and what they can im
port and export.
The. people of New Zealand,
these Australian sources add, are
tired of government spending,
high taxes and Increased living
costs, and want to see LESS, NOT
MORE, business run by a govern
ment which in New Zealand has
nationalized transport, radio, coal,
electricity, communications, hos
pitals and some housing.
We mustn't forget that these
Australian "sources" may merely
be indulging in wishful thinking.
Still, the fact remains that New
Zealand has (after 14 years of it)
turned against the welfare state.)
MEW Zealand led off the welfare
l state procession. It was fol
lowed not too long afterward by
Australia where the welfare
state has been rather- extremely j
established. New Zealand and
Australia were followed Into the
welfare state fold In 1945 by Great
Britain. Here in America we have
been heading definitely TOWARD
the welfare state.
The significance of the news
from "down under" is that New
Zealand, which was the first to
go In, Is the first to pull out. That
reminds us that "the proof of the
pudding is the eating thereof."
If, after 14 years of It, the New
Zealandcrs don't like the pudding,
it at least plants In our minds the
thought that after living on a
heavy diet of it as long as the
New Zealanders have WE may
not like it.

Watch 1950 Elections In Three
Largest States For 1952 Clues
' By BRUCE BIOSSAT'
In 1950 New York, California and Pennsylvania, the three most
populous states, will each elect a governor and a senator. These
contests not only will furnish Important clues to presidential 1952;
they may furnish some of the candidates for the White House.
This year's . election results
were hardly cold when James
Roosevelt, eldest son of the late
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
announced his candidacy for the
California governorship. He is
bidding chiefly for the Democrat
ic nomination, but under Califor
nia's strange cross-filing system
he will also put his name in on
the Republican side. .
If Gov. Earl Warren, the Re
publican incumbent, seeks a
third term the West Coast battle
may be hard fought. As the de
feated GOP nominee for vice
president In 1948. Warren suffer
ed a setback in prestige. But he
nas reouin nis strengtn in nis
home state and must be regard
ed as a presidential possiaility
unless ne decides to leave - pon
tics. Another Roosevelt. Franklin
D., Jr., may figure in the New
York governorship race. Now in
Congress after a highly success
ful vote -getting campaign last
spring, the younger Roosevelt
being widely discussed as a likely
Democratic choice for the berth
now held by Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey.
Dewey's Dlarra are veiled in
doubt. Most political observers
viewed the defeat of Sen. John
Foster Dulles in New York as a
personal setback for Dewey. Dul
les was Dewey's own choice and
the governor campaigned for him
vigorously. Had Dulles won, it
was generally believed Dewey
would have considered himself on
the comeback trail toward a pos
sible third straight nomination
ror tne presidency. Now it Is not
even certain whether he will try
again for the governorship.
As for Pennsylvania. ReDUbll-
can Gov. James Duff does not
plan to seek re-electlorn. Beyond
that prospect, nothing much can
be said about the contest there.
Once a GOP bastion, Pennsyl
vania today is one of the hottest
political battlegrounds in the
country. It shifts allegiance with
surprising suddenness. Whoever
its lssu gubernatorial candidates
are, the race will be tough.
The senatorial races in these
three states are shaping up slow
ly ana lime presidential timber
Is in sight. Reps. Russell M.
Nixon, Republican, and Helen
Gahagan Douglas, Democrat,
have announced for the Senate in
Balloon In Stomach
Stops Hemorrhage
EPHRATA, Dec. 2 UP) A C
47 from Moses Lake air force
base landed at Boston airport
Wednesdoy with an Ephrata doc
tor who was flown across the na
tion with a blown-up balloon in
his stomach in a flight against
death.
The doctor, Dr. G. M. Neese, Is
contracted as a boy in China,
contralted as a boy in China,
where he was ' born. The Illness
is a cirrohis- in which enlarged
veins in the esophagus cause
bleeding into the stomach.
A year ago Dr. Linton of Mas
sachusetts General hospital in
Boston performed an operation
on, Dr. Nesse, in which the re
turn blood supply to the liver
was shut off to stop the bleeding.
Last Saturday the bleeding be
gan again. Forty blood transfu
sions were given between Satur
day and Monday to keep Dr.
Neese alive. Monday, Dr. Ward
of Ephrata and Dr. C. K. Miller
of Wenatchee had Dr. Nesse
swallow a balloon conceived bv
Dr. Ward. When the balloon was
in the stomach it Avas inflated,
and pulled up against the gullet
where it connects with the stom
ach. It stopped the hemorrhage.
The homomad remedy was sat
isfactory, and Dr. Nesse was put
aboard the C-47 for a direct flight
to Boston.

California. Sen. Francis J. My
ers, Democrat, will seek re-election
in Pennsylvania and newly
elected Herbert H. Lehman may
go aftt;r a full tern. In New York.
The former Democratic governor
won Dulles' Senate post for just
one year. No other candidates
are avowed. .
Ohio, also high on the nation's
population roll, will offer the big
gest senatorial match and the one
likeliest of all to produce a presi
dential prospect. Here Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft, twice a GOP candi
date for the White House, will be
fighting for re-election against a
determined labor opposition that
has not yet found its candidate.
Should Taft win his third suc
cessive Senate term, he would
undoubtedly be high on the GOP
card of presidential possibilities
for 1952.
So it appears Certain that many
bright presidential hopes may be
nourished or crushed by the Im
pending 1950 struggles in . our
three biggest states plus crucial
Ohio.
