U.-UPt-Tft state mutt keep in mind what n nr raid might do to ita propoaed new bridge at Salem. Thit waa the warning yesterday from Brig. Gen. Ralph P. Cowgill, engineer for the atate military de partment, who adviaed the State Hichwav department to construct the bridgt two blocka farther down atream. The Highway departments pro poaed location would be only one block from the present bridge be tween Salem and Weat Salem, he aaid, predicting that a aingle bomb could knock out both bridges. Cowgill, who commanded the State Guard in World War II. also aaid traffic would be hopelessly congested in the Salem area if there were masa evacuation of civiliana or heavy army truck movements. He added, "Oregon may be on the front line if another war comes, and aafety is more necessary now than ever before in our history. Factors that take into considera tion the problems of evacuation and troop movements should be included in all highway and bridge construction plans at long at the Pacific Northwest remains ex posed to possible enemy attack." Ex-Silver Shirt Head To Fight Extradition (Continued from page One) false propaganda to the effect that this country had no defense, wat doomed to defeat, wat bankrupt and led by prejudiced and incom petent men. The allegations al legedly were published in Pelley'a magaiine. North Carolina authoritiea base their claim on Pelley on hia con viction in 1935 for aecuritiea viola tions. He waa convicted, fined and given a suspended five-yrar sen tence and in 1940 wat held in vio lation of terms of the suspended aentence. A North Carolina judge ordered Pelley to serve a two-to-three year term at hard labor but no action waa taken because Pelley th'.i wat under indictment on the tedition charge in Indiana.

The government it atandlng by with a wait-and-see attitude. New Parley flated Federal officials apparently hop that court-ordered contract nego tiations, resuming tomorrow in Washington, will hatten the strike's end. Lewit and mine operatora will meet amid field reporta that the UMW chief may aubttitute some new demands for those ruled out by a Federal diatrict court in Washington. The court laid Lewis could not: 1. Seek a clause allowing miners to work only when "willing and able." 2. Demand a union ahop without a lational labor relations board election. S. Try to limit welfare fund bene fitt to union members. 4. Call "memorial" work etop pagea. Oemandt May Be Beetled Some industry sources think Lew is may now raise hia wage de mands SO cents to make the ob jective $15.50 a day. They would not be aurprised if he asked 40 cents a ton in operator royalty pay menu into the UMW welfare fund. Lewit previously asked for a wage hike of 95 cents a day for minera earning a Dasic aauy wage of 114.05. He also demanded that royalty payments be increased from 20 to 35 centa. One coal operator told a reporter that many minera in the coal fields are taying they will return to work if they get direct ordera to do to from Lewis. He pointed out that Lewis' response to the court order waa an instruction to subordinate union officers not to permit the strike to continue. Welfare Suit Filed A court auit involving charges that minera' once-rich welfare fund had been mis-spent was aired here yesterday. It had been, filed by Crone Llveneood. Smithfleld. Pa.. a former fund beneficiary suspend ed from union membership after he filed the suit. Federal Judge BurniU Matthews refused to throw out the tuit yester day, at asked by I.ewis. The case now will eo to trial, but probably not for nearly a year, because of a crowded court docket, judge Matthews ordered the fund a trus tees, headed by Lewit, to turn over certain data to Livengood. The suit asks an accounting of the 1150.000,000 apent Irom tne fund in the ast three years. The money cornea from a 20-cent royalty paid by mine operatora on every ton of coal produced. It goes to finance pensions and other miner benefits. No pensions have been paid out of the UMW health and welfare fund aince aome southern operators suspended royalty payments last tall. The eight-month-long coal dis pute so far has idled 36.000 rail' road and steel workers. More lay' offt are on tap ahould the atrike continue.

"She itid the hid a bellyache from a bottle of pop the drank earlier," White waa quoted at say ing. He aaid he told her, "if you're sick, call a doctor." "I don't want a doctor, I want to die," White quoted his wife as answering. He added: "I figured if the wanted to die, I would help her." Officeri laid White then told them he returned to the grain ele vator, got two bottles of rat poi son and went home.

"But," ha added, "it alto ia the duty of the commission to consider the public. In aome cases the pub lic may not be prepared for the proposal from the scientific staff. We then mutt act aa arbitratora to make those recommendations acceptable. That, in turn, involves a problem of education and we have aet up a department of public relatione to acquaint the public with reasons for our decisions." The commission chairman cited instances in which hunters and an glers have willingly accepted lower bag limits and ahorter seasons when shown the necessity for cur tailment. The current issue as to whether the tea son on migratory waterfowl should be split or made continuous waa used aa an exam ple. The aplit season, he said, ran into bad weather, over which the commission had no control, thus adversely affecting Oregon hunt ers. Yet, he said, while much cri ticism descended upon the com mission because it had aplit the season, aentiment now aeemt to be veering toward continuing the aplit season experiment. He reported on increase in fish hatchery capacity, atating that two hatcheries expected to be built soon will bring total capacity to around 25,000,000 fish annually. Trash Fish Are Problem He mentioned briefly the prob lem at Diamond lake, where trash fish are consuming the feed need ed for game fish and are depleting the game fish life of the lake Studiea are being made into the possibility of poisoning the lake'i fish population and then restocking with suitable game fish, but as no lake of this size ever before hat been poisoned, no final decision hat been reached. The Rock creek trout hatchery, he aaid, it being enlarged to the capacity of ita water supply. He also mentioned the pheasant raising project conducted in coop eration with the Roseburg Rod and Gun club, atating that the game department ia turning largely to field raising of pheasants rather than the more expensive game farms. Problems of winter range for big game were discussed, particu larly in sections of eastern Oregon where, Hill' said, sections of range have been overgrazed, causing the elk and deer to feed on agricultur al lands during the winter season The policy of the commission, the chairman reported, ia to nold pop ulation within the carrying capa city of the range. Deer in Western Oregon offer less of a problem, because the removal of timber ia producing better forage. Seme Hunters At Fault He also discussed public shoot ing grounds and pointed out that land owners object less to the game on their landa than to the presence of "undisciplined" hunt ers. "The hunter must be educated to respect the righta of the fend own er." Hill asserted, adding that "it will be necessary to make adjust ment! between land owner! and the atate to preserve habitat for game animals and birds."
