Stanton Studies are being made along the Umpqtia River as a part of a statewide project to provide' public access to fishing streams. The project is initialed by the Oregon Game Commis sion. Congress last year passed what Is known as the Ding-cll-Johnson Act. This Act levies an excise tax on fishing tackle. The income is apportioned to states, which must match federal allocations. The legislation is almost iden tical with the Pitman-Robertson Act, levying excise taxes on hunting equipment and distributing funds to the states to aid that sport. The Game Commission for several years has been us ing Pittman-Robertson money to buy or lease lands for public shooting grounds, acquiring waterfowl refuges, etc. It now proposes to use Dingell-Johnson revenues to open up more angling areas. Approximately 20 access points already have been ap proved on the McKcnzie River, the Commission reports. Development through easements and agreements with pri vate landowners, is planned. Improvements will include roadways to the stream, boat launching skids and slins, parking areas, brush removal, graveling, fencing, etc. The access points usually are less than an acre in size. A similar project on the Rogue River has brought 41 sites under study. Surveys are in progress along the Umpqua River to determine the most important sites for access. Will Distribute Pressure The major value to be found in this project is in dis tribution of fishing intensity. When only a comparatively small section of a stream is open to angling, concentration of pressure is extremely destructive to fish life. If, however, equal intensity can be spread over a larger area fish survival is improved. Many miles of the Umpqua River now are inaccessible to anglers. A particularly fine stretch of fishing water lies between Wilbur and Glide. We find there approximate ly 20 miles of river with very limited access. This sec tion becomes particularly important because of the recent protection thrown around the "nursery" section of the riv er, from Rock Creek to Soda Springs, where anglers are restricted to use of artificial fly only. This restrict ion works a hardship on bait and spinner fishermen now limited largely to the waters between Glide and Rock Creek. Part of the Wilbur-Glide area will be opened when the County builds the projected road along the north side of the river from Glide to Sutherlin and Wilbur. But many miles of the road will be built against the base of the hills at considerable distance from the river. It then will be essential to establish aceetts ways. Early Action Desired It will be several years, however, before access ran bo gained along the north side of the river between Wil bur and Glide. In the meantime it should be possible to open up a few access points along the south bank. We hope it can be done this year. While mora than average cost would be involved in opening up a road at Oak Creek to cite one example, we believe no time should be lost. Inasmuch as the Commission has found it necessary to impose restrictions on the upper portion of the river, we are of the opinion that it has an obligation to its many other license holders who prefer other fishing methods. Because the river below Rock Creek is much wider and cannot be so completely covered by anglers; and because it contains few resting places for salmon, which usually migrate further upstream; and because few downstream migrants are congregated in that area during the sum mer season, fishing with bait and flashing lures would be far less damaging than on the uppcV river. But until something is done to open the now inaccessible areas, such as Sunshine Valley, Oak Creek, Whistler Bend, Short's Bar and others, bait and spinner fishermen are at a great dis advantage. , Our situation is not as critical as on the McKenzie and Rogue Rivers where so much of those streams has been closed off and where landowners have been charging access fees. But, because of recent restrictions imposed on the Umpqua River, we urge the Commission to open access points between Wilbur and Glide at the very ear liest possible date. The Commission also should cooperate with the County Court, when the road is built along the north bank of the stream, to develop ample access sites. "Two men looked out through prison bars; One saw mud, the other saw stars." Although it may seem that out ward circumstances such as the in ternational situation, internal strikes, and various limitations on our freedom as a nation and as In dividuals, may constitute "prison bars" of a sort, still much can depend upon the mental viewpoint of the one surveying the scene. After all, no one can get Inside our thinking, our Inviolate sanc tuary where we can commune with the Father of us all, unless we open the door to the sanctuary of our mind by doubt, anxiety, fear or a feeling of frustration.

Undoubtedly the hiillahalloo we have In electing a president Is a Natural Result Fulton Lewis Jr. WASHINGTON President Truman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson have been disguising themselves as ar dent humanitarians over the nist Chinese and Korean troops to the Chinese Reds. Both the President and Ache- son have assured the American people that instructions were is sued to our Korean truce negotia tors not to yield to Communist demands for the 100.000 prisoners who said they would forcibly re sist return to their native land. In fact. Mr. Truman and the Secretary of State eagerly accept ed public plaudits in response to their statements. Mr. Truman and Acheson are 24-karat phonies on this issue. Both, in August of 1949. instructed our U. S. minister to Switzerland, John Carter Vincent, to approve an agreement with the Soviet Union, China and other nations which stated that: "Prisoners of war shall be released and repat riated without delay after the ces sation of active hostilities." Vincent was running the show at Geneva, Switzerland, in 1949 at a diplomatic conference when two treaties were signed dealing with the protection of war prisoners and civilians in time of war. Vin cent, on page 2.19 of State Depart ment document 3938. published in August of 1950, has this to say: "The government of the United States fully supports the objectives of this convention." He was right, but only about one branch of the government, the executive. When he hot-footed it back to the United States, Mr. Truman and Acheson couldn't wait to lay the agreements before Con gress. They acted as though they were slipping' their minions in Congress a prize plum. They sat back to await the happy day when Congress would ratify the sellout. The only trouble is that Vincent wasn't actually representing the American people when he signed nn with Mncenu' 11a U' incl an i errand boy for Mr. Truman and I Members of the Senate Foreign n.ilnimnc 1'nmmiHoo ti,if .mn ivir . at the sioazv treaty and lucked it j into the waste basket.

What makes the agreement all the more peculiar is that most high government officials had a lot of experience with the way the Russians treated their own troops who had been captured by the Germans or had deserted during World War Two. At war's end the American Gov ernment ordered the Army to help round up the wandering Russians and turn them over to their Com munist bosses. There were two million who were about as anxious to return to Moscow as most of the Chinese soldiers on Koje Is land are today. When the Russians got their hands on the soldiers, they round ed them into groups of a hundred or more and executed them be fore Soviet troops standing in pa rade review. One Russian gen eral who had been captured was decapitated and his head was pa raded down Moscow's main street. Thousands of the Russians com mitted suicide when tffcy found out what their American allies were doing to them. As a result, the United States has a great reputation in Russia. A Soviet sol dier fed up with the Kremlin knows exactly what would happen to him if he deserted. In fact, it's official. At Yalta, the U. S. signed a directive ordering that all lib erated Russians be returned to Soviet control. That was for World War II. But Moscow wanted to make it permanent so Vincent, Acheson and Mr, Truman obliged. Naturally the Chinese Commu nists keep tossing the Truman-Vincent-Acheson document in the faces of U. S. negotiators in Ko- - j"s'st that once Vincent ment we were committed.

Campaign May Echo Fight Over Wages, Prices By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON W In the sum mer of 1950. just after the battle for Korea started, Bernard Baruch came to Washington and warned Congress there'd be bad inflation unless it slapped on price and wage controls. President Truman wasn't im pressed. But Congress was and voted Truman price-wage control power before the summer was over. The 1950 elections were com ing up in November. Truman didn't set up the price machinery until after the elections. But it takes time to get machin ery like that in motion. It waj early in 1951 before the govern ment was able to put a lid on prices and wages. And by that time living costs had begun to climb. In the 18 months since controls went on, living costs have risen 4.1 per cent. They reached a peak last January, dipped a bit, and in May surged up again, almost equal to the January mark. The Republicans have dumped the blame at Truman's door, for his tardiness in starting controls in 1950. But those controls will end June 30, unless Congress votes to con tinue them. Now the Truman ad ministration, a few months before the 1952 elections, wants them con tinued. The Senate listened and voted to keep them eight months to a year longer. But the House voted Thurs day it was a combination of Re publicans and Southern Democrats who did it to kill practically all controls except wage controls. It voted to keep wage controls. Veto May Evinhiat This isn't the last word, of course, since action by Congress isn't final until both houses agree. If the final result Is to end con trols and then prices shoot up. Tru man isn't likely to overlook during the political campaign the stand the House Republicans took on kill ing price controls. If the final result from both houses permits continuance of price controls, but so badly cripples them that prices go looping up ward, Truman, who has never been considered a poor politician, will hardly forget to mention the Republicans. The President seems certain to veto any final bill that kills price controls but keeps wage controls. Most people, meaning most voters in the presidential election, work for wages and salaries. A bill that kills price controls but keeps wage controls will provide Truman with a talking point to the most voters particularly organized labor, whose support he has courted and whose ballots he wants for the Democrats in November. Congress Upsets Truman's Veto WASHINGTON i Congress wrote the McCarran-Walter immi gration bill into law Friday over President Truman's veto. Truman called the bill infamous. Truman vetoed the bill Wednes day. Co - sponsored by Sen. Me Carran (D.-Nev.) and Rep. Wal ter (D.-Pa ). it revises and codi fies all existing U. S. laws on im migration and naturalization. The President said he was in favor of some of its provisions, but said its flaws outweighed its good points. He said that to him the bill smacked of thought contiol. The Senate overrode the veto by 57 to 26. This was five votes more than the two-thirds majority need ed to overrule a presidential veto. The House margin Thursday was 2T8 to 11317 more than a two-thirds majority.

Kefau ver just "ain't got a chance," the big boys say. Neither, they pontificate, has Russell, or Kerr, or Harriman. They're just OUT, period. Steven son, they insist, is the fair-haired boy. (Stevenson says he doesn't want it, but carefully refrains from stating categorically that he won't have it if it is handed to him on a silver platter.) The professionals prophesy that if Stevenson backs firmly out of the picture Veep Barkley will be IT. An so on ad infinitum or ad nauseam, whichever way you choose to look at it. I wonder if we aren't seeing at least the beginning of the end of the convention system of nomin ating candidates for President. We started out by choosing elect ors one elector in each state for each senator and representative. The electors got together and chose the President. That didn t work too well. The states decided on the methods of choosing the electors. In a lot of them, thc electors were chosen by the state legislature. In some of the states, a group of the "right people" just got together and picked the elect ors. You can imagine, I think, the amount of finagling that must navel gone on. Anyway, the system began to smell, and the odor wasn't too pleasant in the nostrils of the pub lic. So we invented the political party convention system under which the parties at their conven tions choose their candidates and at the general election the people choose AMONG the candidates. That system, it seems to me, is in its turn beginning to decay slightly at the edges. Anyway, as I sniff the political winds, I seem to detect something faintly resem bling the effluvium of a dead whale several miles upwind. It certainly isn't the odor of vio lets and roses that floats down wind these days from the highly political doings and utterances of the highly political professionals on both sides of the fence. Take the case of Pennsylvania, for example. Pennsylvania has 70 delegates to the Republican con vention. Quite a large number of these delegates are supposed to be held in the hollow of the hand of the governor of Pennsylvania. When the governor gives the nod and holds up a finger, this body of delegates is supposed to vote how ever the governor says. Experience tells me that under such conditions it would be little less than astonishing if the gov ernor of Pennsylvania didn't do quite a little dickering on his own account before he gave the final and decisive signal. The whole party system lends Itself to a whale of a lot of such dickering. It gives too much power to the PROFESSIONALS. It seems to me that any system that puts that much power in that few hands isn't too good. I'm not starry-eyed about the idea of a national Presidential pri mary, conducted simultaneously in all the states. I'm not even positive that such a system would get bet ter men than the present system gives us. I just find myself less and less enthusiastic about the party convention system of mak-' ing Presidential nominations. Anyway, I imagine quite a lot j of people are beginning to feel the same way and if so we're likely i to try something else before too long. !

Informed sources said that was the substance of the reply to be sent to the Soviet Union by the United States, Great Britain and France. The mree foreign ministers con cluded discussion on that reply at a meeting here Friday afternoon. They also agreed to consult more closely among themselves on mili tary operations in Korea. A terse communique issued at the end of the foreign ministers meetings in London gave no indi cation what the reply to Russia said. Attending the sessions were U. S. Secretary of State Dean Ache son, British Foreign Secretary An thony Eden and F'rench Foreign Minister Robert Schuman, and their advisers. "Their discussions covered a number of topics concerning Eu rope, Korea and Southeast Asia, including a review of develop ments in those areas since their last meeting in Paris in May," the communique said. "They reaffirmed their agree ment on the necessity for closer cooperalion and consultation in regard both lo Korea and Southeast Asia and considered means to in sure this. "The three ministers considered the draft reply to the Soviet note prepared by the Washington draft ing group. They reached agree ment on the substance of the re ply which will now be put in final form." The foreign ministers are report ed seeking a way to make the So viet show its true hand to pin the Russians down on whether they are sincere in demanding four-power talks on a unified Germany.
