Par Tear. III.OOi all months, i&Mi Ibree i PLANNING FOR FUTURE By CHARLES V. STANTON Do you receive the monthly bulletin published by the Oregon Game Commission? If you hunt or fish, or are interested in resource conser vation, you will find the bulletin an excellent source of in formation. If more people were to read it, we would have a better understanding of fish and game management prob lems, and far, less undeserved criticism would be leveled at the Commission and its policies. The bulletin is available to all interested persons with out cost. Simply address the Oregon State Game Commis sion Bulletin, 1634 S. W. Alder St., P. 0. Box 4136, Portland 8, Oregon, and ask that your name be added to the circula tion list. Be sure to give your complete mailing address. We make this plug for the bulletin because we believe every Oregon resident should read the last issue, containing the report by Phil Schneider, state game director, covering activities for the year 1951. Successful Year Reported Schneider's report shows a very successful year in terms of resource utilization. But most important is his re port on improvements and additions to activities, promis ing well for the future. The program of habitat improvement for both fish and game, for instance, will be of unlimited benefit in better ing conditions ior natural propagation. The policy of divid ing the Btate into districts has shown excellent results in handling management problems at local rather than state levels. Introduction of new species of birds and fish prom ises better recreation in future years. The fish hatchery program has been enlarged. At the same time hatchery operation is being made more efficient. Planting methods have been effectively improved.' Use of Dingell-Johnson money, a fund collected from excise taxes on fishing tackle by the federal government with distribution to the states on a co-operative basis, is aiding in providing access to angling waters. Schneider touches only the high spots, but outlines the many lines of endeavor in which the Commission is engaged. Tough Resource Problem Faced Schneider says in his report: Th. resources for which we hold Itgal responsibility of steward hip mutt bo givon much groator consideration In tho total natural roaourco program than hai horotoforo bath rondartd to thle phato of our oconomy. Slnco tho public roiourcaa of flthory and gamo cropa aro producta of our toll and watar, it la axiomatic that policial and program! with rotpact to all land and watar uto novo direct effect upon the resources which w are discussing here. We mutt become more eware of the elemental fact that the future of all wild crops are unavoidably tied directly to the land and water picture of eech area and changes In the character, quantity or nature of these Irreilitibly affect in one way or another the future of the fishery and gamo reiourcei of Oregon. It obviously becomes imnossible'for the sion to maintain adequate fish populations in streams clog ged with logging debris and silt, or obstructed by high dams. Nor can adequate fish life be preserved in streams on wntcrt authorized water withdrawals for irrigation pur poses total more thari the minimum volume of f inw rnn. ffition found on the South Umpqua River and many other streams of tho state. As more and more land is put to agricultural use, nauitat lor wilillile decreases. The problems are varied and complex. Oregon has no system ior co-ordination of resources management. We cannot expect the Game Commission to preserve our nuniing ana iisning resources for us and for future gen erations while we abuse the land, forest and water upon wmcn inose resources depend. 'Round ond 'Round We Go NEIGHBORS RILED Quads' Dad Gets Bid To TV Show, Mother Ignored MURFREESBORO, Ark.' Wl -There'! a minor revolt stirring in this Southwest Arkansas area. The quadruplets born to Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Ponder near here Monday night are the reason. ' Warnings cropped up when the proud 41-year old fonder accepted an invitation to appear on a New York television show Friday night. The women folks of Murfrees boro and nearby Nashville, Ark., got riled up ' at that. , They, think the mother of the quads, a 38-year old farm wife, ought to share some of the lime light. ' And a delegation of Murfrees boro women already has started a campaign to honor Mrs. Ponder. The father, an unemployed farm er, spent Wednesday sprucing up for his trip to the East. He re ceived a new outfit from Murfrees boro merchants. He was to get t manicure but news photographers intervened. They carted him to his 4-room house where he, his wife, the quads and seven of their eight other children all born sep aratelywill live . The infants, three boys and a girl are in a hospital at Nashville, 20 miles southwest of here. The ba bies are reported in good shape.

Fulton Lewis Jr. WASHINGTON A man who for many years held an important post in this country's highest military councils, in recent months has been telling some blunt truths about how we got into the plight in which we now find ourselves. Un fortunately, his words have received little or no public atten tion. FromrM! .. iviVA ENDING BASKET homo, and Christine's doll, ainco mis column is under no obligation to be t:mcly, 1 guess I'll write about tho dolls brousht by Jen Carlson (Mrs. W. S.) to tho December meeting of tho Drain Study Club. They were huRo "rag ' dolls" made by the loving hands of patients in the State Hospital . at Salem. I wish the ones who had made tho sailor doll could have seen the rapturous way Har ry Cool HI, aged two, grabbed on to tno gay sailor-boy and hugRcd him tho rest of the afternoon. His ; delight was matched by his small cousin s, only Christine lleuhner i chose a girl doll. Oh, no, they didn't have to give them up. Jen was so pleased that sho left the sailor boy rjcht where he was when she went hi too. I was just talking to Jen on the 'phone about the need of materials for more dolls and other handi work which Is part of the recrea tion activity at the State Hospital. "Oh," she said earnestly, "they do need things to work with. Those dolls, for instance, were dressed with such small pieces of mater ial; almost scraps make a sailor boy's hat or a yoke for a little doll dress. Any kind of material, large pieces or small, suitable for dolls or aprons or things like that would be acceptable, and such a help." I asked about how to send things. "Oh, if the packages were address ed to the nurse in charge of rec reation there . forget her first name, but just address it to Miss prince: she would see that good use was made of everything. And oh," Jen added, "they do need tilings to read, too. The men like westerns (but not mysteries) and comics, as well as most other mag' azlnos and books, too. Of course any woman's magazine gives Pleasure to tne women patients, And oh, cosmetics are welcomed Dear me, why did I wait a whole month before querying the one who bought the six big dolls as a loving encouragement to the women who made them? Especially when she mentioned "they had so litUe to work with." Let me see, what was mat address? Miss Prince, Recreation Dept. State Hospital.

Tickets are heirr,' sold by. all band students of the instrumental Music Department. , The man is retired Lieutenant General Albert C. Wedemeyer, a one-time top military planner who later served as commander of American forces In China, in 1947 he conducted, for President Tru man, special survey of the Far bast wmcn resulted in tne now famous Wedemeyer report. But General Wedemeyer never was a "yes man;" Instead, he was widely known for sticking to his beliefs, no matter whose Ideas they might oppose. The Wedemeyer re port countered many pet theories neld ny tne Truman Administra tion; when the general stuck by his report ha found himself shunt ed off to a insecure domestic com mand where he no longer could get hi Ihe hair of policy-makers. Disgusted, he retired last July to become vice-president of the Avco Manufacturing Corporation. In a series of addresses since then, General Wedemeyer has pro claimed the criticisms of the Ad ministration which he could not express publicly while he was in uniform. Yalta, Potsdam, the bi partisan approach to foreigri pol icy, bureaucratic secrecy, a lack of any realistic realization of the true aims of communism on the part of the administration all these have been subjected by the general to searching scrutiny and adjudged to be sadly in error. Speaking In New York on Jan- nary 10, he suggested thai in re viewing recent history, "we mi'llit discuss how American statesman ship, for the second lime in a generation forfcilcd the fruits of a worldwide military victory; how the leadership of the West, while vanquishing Illtlerlsm, Fascism and Japanese jinfio:m, failed to foresee and forestall the rise of another enemy of mankind: So viet imperialism." 'We might," he ndded, "trace the calamitous blunders, first of appeasement, then of timid and piecemeal containment, that yield cd the initiative to tie predatu-y masters of the Kremlin." General Wedemeyer resrws some of his most caustic words for the bipartisan concept of for cin policy and what he regards as its concomitant evil unjusti fiable secrecy in withholding in formation from the American people. I suspect," he said in a spcecn on Iiecmbcr 10, "that when an administration in power calls for bipartisan foreign policy, ir may have the ulterior end in view of seeking immunity for its mistakes while reserving the privilege of making parUsan capital out of its successes." Only bv full debate In the tra ditional two-party manner, he says, can the American people be kept fully and properly informed on what their government is doing, and maintain a check on tnose deeds. 'I am convinced." he said on October 9. " that had the Ameri can people been able, directly or indirectly, to pass judgments on proposals concerning the surrend er of important political and eco nomic interests secretly contriv ed at Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam, we might not now be engaged in cosuy and inconclusive war in Korea; we might not be expend ing our treasure and military strength fr. Western Europe." He blisters our so-called "con tainment" policy of holding com munism within, its bounds as a de fensive policy which allows the Kremlin to pick its own times and places for chewing up our military strength Korea, Malaya, Indo china, the Near East. What we need, he says, is a leadership pos sessing "the moral fortitude to acknowledge past mistakes which in the perspective of time look like betrayals, and the clarity of mind to take the calculated risks of affirmative action." And in an other, clear slap at the Adminis tration, he adds that "it should be obvious by now that the uncal culated risks of inaction are even greater, especially because they leave the initiative to the enemy." Current world conditions, he says, require adoption of new pol icies that will bring an end to Soviet "subjugation, intimidation and political banditry" but they are decisions that cannot be made properly, or made at all. as long as we continue to act like hypnotized rabbits." I like that "hypnotized rabbits." See if you can come up with a better description of the way we have allowed Russia to call the shots in this world-wide game of military chess. General Wedemeyer also has his own affirmative suggestions of what we should do in the future. I'll tell you about them tomorrow. Hear Fulton Leivis Daih On KRNR, 9:15 P. M. Psychology Of Police Praised By Onlooker ROSEBURG "I hate cops, How many times have you heard that expression by oinerwise weu meaning people? Yet, they are the very first ones to holler ' Cops" when they are in trouble. Those same police officers are right there to right that trouble. Yes, and if it is necessary, to lay down their lives for our protection. That is their main duty, to pro tect you and I. They don't like to make arrests, but sometimes it is necessary. . The people of Roseburg are to be congratulated on their fine police force. I had an occasion a few nights ago to see them in action. What could have developed into a very serious situation was, by their understanding of human nature, and their app'ication of the proper psychology, turned into a happy ending. E. G.

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. I want the fun of meeting it as it comes and licking it if it has to be licked. Something to think about: The state tax commission tells us that TAX-EXEMPT property in Oregon now totals $730,559,585. (That's roughly three-quarters of a billion dollars.) Of the non-taxed three quarters of a billion, the federal govern ment owns, in round numbers, 431 millions, school districts 76 mil lions, the state itself 67 Mi millions and churches and religious organ izations 27 W millions. Cynical thought: Suppose we exempted EVERY THING from taxation. What would happen? More ort the tax subject: The U. S' chamber of commerce estimates that if President Tru man's new 83-billion-dollar federal budget is approved by congress the head of every American family will have an extra debt or tax burden of S226 added to the burden that already rests on the back of his neck. Oregon would get off a little bet ter than the average. The Presi dent's proposals for increased snpndinir would add 107 million dol lars to Oregon's federal tax total, or $216 per family Realistic question: If vou are the head of a family, do you think the extra spending will be worth to you what it will cost you? A SEARCHING question: In your necessary and unavoid able dealings with government, would you rather do the bulk of it in Washington? Or would you pre fer to have to go only to Salem? I can answer that one promptly. I WANT GOVERNMENT AS AS CLOSE TO ME AS POSSIBLE. I feel safer that way. Here's one to think about: In Britain they've just conducted a poll to see which day of the week tne Kritisb like tne most. Sunday was a heavy winner. Those who preferred Sunday ex plained that they like Sunday s "passive, leisured, do - as you please" atmosphere. Uneasy thought: ., v? ' Do you . reckon that's what's wrong with Britain? A "passive, leisured, do-as-you- please" atmosphere jnay be pleas ant, but it, doesn t-get you very far alfead. Instead of going ahead, Britain is slipping backward.
