That was the demand ot the Pacific Marine Fisheries commis sion which is meeting here. A resolution pointed -out that the commission was not opposed to dams, but wanted assurance beforehand that salmon runs would be protected. Particular concern was expressed over rower proposals for British Co imbias Fraser river. The commission also suggested a survey by the three west coast states to determine the number of salmon caught fr sports fishermen. Fibre board for cabinets and walls Is made from wood pulp.

HANSEN lATnn rn Hill I UK I Oak A Stephens Phone 446 I I Canada, Britain, U. S. Outlining Atomic Research By JOHN M. HIQHTOWCR WASHINGTON. UP) The United States, Britain and Canada have virtually completed the broad outlines for a new partner ship in the development of atomic energy and atomic bombs. The next move will be for the State department to take up the pro posals with congressional leaders. The proposed plan which will apparently come to nothing un less Congress is prepared in some way to authorize It reportedly would provide for continued con centration of atomic weapon manufacture hi this country. It is said to contemplate that British and Canadian scientists would participate in the work. Discussion of the three powers' roles moved to the foreground, at least temporarily, with the lull in the congressional atomic inves tigation. That inquiry deals with how the Russians were able to get atomic materials from the U. S. during the war. Congres sional probers said over the week end they have asked for wartime records of the Chemical Warfare service as a possible clue. Under the projected American-British- Canadian partnership in the future, Britain would aban don its plans for making A-bombs, as in fact it appears to have done already. Thus would end the threat of a future British claim to a larger share of the Belgian Congo uranium the greater part of which now comes to the United States. Responsible authorities say there would be several advan tages to this arrangement. Fl-st, it would assure the western world a maximum of output of atomic bombs of the kind the United States is able to make in 'he shortest possible time. Second, it would prevent dispersion of ef fort as oetween this country and Britain. Third, it would mean the continued development of atomic filants, including weapons factor es, In places remote from any possible European war area. Britain and Canada, for their part, would continue fully the kind of experimental work in basic atomic research which they have been doing.

UP) The House un - American Activities committee has decided definitely to recall Lt. Gen. Leslie R. Groves and former Major George Racy Jordan for more question ing on wartime atomic leaks to the- Russians. Rep. Harrison (D-Va), a com mittee member, said that Chair man Wood (D-Ga) advised the committee counsel Frank Taven ncr, by telephone that he wants Groves and Jordan to come back to the witness chair." Tavenner said he Will ask them to be here next Monday. It was Jordan who testified last week that the late Harry L. Hop kins put on pressure to speed an atomic shipment to Russia dur ing the winter of 1943-44. Jordan said that at least a man who said he was Hopkins telephoned him at the Great Falls, Montana, air base where Jordan was stationed. Friends of Hopkins have com mented that Hopkins was ill and inactive in government in the first half of 1944. Groves testified that neither Hopkins nor former Vice-President Henry Wallace tried to pres sure him into supplying atomic materials or secrets to the So viets. There were Indications that some committee members want to ask Groves more about some of the things he has said in press interviews since his testimony. Another reason for recalling Groves is the protests from Re publican committee members that they were not present when he was heard last week. Shasta Daylight Rams Truck, Scattering Logs EUGENE, Dec. 13 M) The Shasta daylight smashed into a logging truck on the tracks be tween Harrisburg and Junction City at 9:51 a.m. Monday and the unidentified driver miracu lously escaped injury. No one was injured on the crack San Fran F co-bound streamliner. Engineer H. L. Mercier of Port land pulled away from the scene almost an hour after the acci dent and the Shasta picked up its schedule out of Eugene an hour behind time. Damage to the train is estima ed by Southern Pacific officials at $2,500 but the logging truck is almost Intact. Seventy-five-foot logs loaded on the truck were splintered at the impact and scat tered over the crossing. The train was traveling 79 miles per hour when the engine rammed the tail end of the truck. School Vets On Gl Bill Told Change Regulations Veterans Administration has explained what is meant by a "change of course", In the light of its recent regulations requir ing veterans to obtain advise ment and guidance if they plan to change their GI bill courses to new general fields of study.- Under the regulations Instruction I B to Public Law 266 a veteran may make a change, without advisement and guidance, so long as his new course is in the same general field as his original objective or a normally related progressive objective. If he want3 to change to a dif ferent general field, however, the instruction requires that he un dergo advisement and guidance to determine his aptitude for and need of the course to complete his educational or Job objective. Anchange of course, VA 'ex plained, means a change of a veteran's educational or vocat ional objective. It does not mean changes made within the course. New Australian Prime Minister Is Sharp Debater By Barbara Gormly SYDNEY. iP) Robert Gor don Menzlcs, the 54-year old Mel bourne lawyer who will be Aus tralia's next prime minister, is a fervent believer In the free en terprise system. He is nrobably Australia's sharpest debater in Parliament and on the stump. For the tall, thickset, and grey ing politician this will be his second term as leader of the government. He was prime min ister or Australia irom liMU to 1941 the youngest empire prime minister of that early war period. Opposition Ldar Since he went out of office he has been almost continuously the leader of the opposition. For a time his closest liberal friends despaired he ever would lead the party to victory. They said: "Bob Menzies is not clever enough to hide his own cleverness." Ano ther said Menzies had every good quainy except as a vote-getter. Saturday's election disprov ed these fears. Menzies wants a world !n which ambition is encouraged, In which there are rewards for the cour ageous and the enterprising; in which, as he puts it, "there is no foolish doctrine of equality be tween the active and the idle, Intelligent and dull, frugal and Improvident." In a campaign speech he said: "We must choose between the ancient British idea that the gov ernment is the servant of the people and the shabbv. defeated continental Idea that we are ser vants oi tne government." Commands Respect You would think twlee hofnro jovially slapping this broad- snouiaerea man on the back. He commands respect, but does not Invite familiarity. He was a brilliant student ns a youth. He started law practice In Melbourne at 34 and became Australia's youngest king's coun sel, a British Empire ranking for senior barristers. He entered Dolitlcs In 1A9R an has been in the thick of practic ally every political fight since be- iween iree enterprise and labor forces. He was attornev fronornl in u federal government of Joseph A Lyons from 1934 to 1939 and when Lyons died in 1939 Menzies assumed the premiership. He was forced to resign when he lost support of two independents who had kept him in power. me peopie oi Australia may never feel close to their forceful blue eyed Prime Minister but they will respect his brilliance. Business, Labor Pledge Support Of Hoover Report WASHINGTON UP) Co operation by both business men and labor has been pledged In a campaign to push through con gress the government reorgani zation steps recommended last spring by the Hoover commis sion. The drive was launched at a national reorganization confer encea two-day meeting called by the non-partisan, non-government citizens committee for the Hoover report. The citizens committee was formed last summer as a "lobby" In behalf of the recommenda tions for federal economy and ef ficiency made by the commission headed by former President Her bert Hoover. Walter J. Kohlcr Jr.. Wisconsin manufacturer, said in an ad dress prepared for the opening session that "only the first skir mishes have beei. won. Major battles remain to be fought." Letters to congressmen and group resolutions were urged by Oveta Culp Hobby, wartime com mander of the Women's Army corps and executive vice presi dent of the Houston Post. "The American people owe It to their congressmen to tell them of their interest, Mrs. Hobby said. Kohler, president of the Voll rath Corp., Sheboygan, Wis., de clared that businessmen have no greater interest than labor In cut ting government costs, despite the tax burden on corporations. "Businessmen are realistic enough to know that corporations do not pay taxes," he said. "Only people pay taxes. All cor porations do is to collect them." That view was echoed by Stanley Ruttenberg, education director of CIO. Declaring CIO's support for the basic aims of the Hoover pro gram, he said: "It Is the working man of America who pays taxes m if waste and inefficiency and dup lication can be eliminated fro,.i Need a Shine?

Ruttenberg cautioned, how ever, against reading Into the Hoover recommendations merely a program for saving money. The only way that "significant" sums can be saved, he said. Is to elim inate essential activities a course which the Hoover report did not support. . Freight Lint To Hold Annual Award Dinner .'

Cits How America's first service station was born One day back in 1907, a Stand ard of California man stood watching a line of impatient motorists in goggles and linen dusters waiting to buy live-gal lon cans of gasoline at Standard's Seattle plant. He had an idea for serving customers more efficiently, more conveniently. The next day a thirty-gallon tank which had been a kitchen water heater was installed opposite the main gate at the plant. To it were attached a valve-controlled hose and a glass gauge... so gas could be poured directly into the customers' cars. That makeshift arrangement was the first service station in America. Today there are more thn 10,000 Company and Independent Dealer Stations selling Standard of California products. The services and con veniences they offer. ..the improved products they sell. ..would prob ably make them hard to recognize by the men who developed the first station. For the people of Standard today, as then, continue to seek ways to make better products and to serve better the people who use them.
