UMPQUA EXPERIMENT
; . By Charles V. Stanton
Judging from the tone of its news releases, the Oregon
Game Commission is frreatly encouraged by the gain in
spring salmon migration in the Umpqua River this year.
The Commission is watching the Umpqua experiment
with much interest. It has here a natural laboratory in
which to work out procedure as a guide for rehabilitation
activities elsewhere.
In the Umpnua River the Commission finds a stream
which once was one of the Pacific Coast's finest recreational
assets. The Umpqua was known throughout the world for
unexcelled angling. People came from every part of the
country for its salmon and steelhcad fishing. Then, within a
period of a few brief years, the resource was critically de
pleted through a combination of circumstances.
One of the principal factors toward depletion was mis
management by the Oregon Fish Commission in removing
millions of eggs for transplanting in other streams. Opera
tion of hatchery racks in the North Umpqua halted upstream
migration of salmon and blocked progress of many steel
head. Because salmon carcasses were removed from the
stream, to be used for food in hatchery ponds, fertility of up
stream waters was damaged
Fishing Intensity Excessive
At the same time the river was undergoing excessive
commercial fishing intensity. Nets were concentrated in the
narrow channel at Brandy Bar, where it was possible to cap
ture virtually every fish except those small enough to es
cape through the mesh and those managing to pass through
commercially-fished waters during weekend closures. Then
the few fish that managed to escape the nets were halted at
the hatchery where their eggs were taken and shipped else
where while the bodies were ground up for hatchery food.
By the time a partial halt was obtained on commercial
fishing in 1947 and complete closure by 1949, the migrations
of salmon and steelhead were almost gone: ' Where hundreds
of thousands of salmon orce entered the Umpqua, the count
had fallen off to leg than 8,000, when river studies were
started in 1946. '
The Game Commission had its doubts about rehabilita
tion of the river's fish population. Those doubts still exist.
There is, however, some reason for a more optimistic out
look. ;. - ;
- Last year we bad a substantial increase in the migration
of spring salmon. Much of this gain, however, was nullified
by loss of brood fish on the spawning beds through use by
anglers of spinning and flashing lures. Because of this loss,
the "nursery" section of the river was closed this year to all
except arti?icia flies. , ' . '
Current Migrations Encouraging
This year's spring salmon run has been especially en
couraging; largest since the river studies were started. We
still do not know the results from hatchery operations. Until
recently the Game Commission was not permitted by law to
propagate salmon. Salmon were classified 'exclusively as
food fish and were under management of the Fish Commis
sion. But in late years the Game Commission has been
propagating salmon on the Umpqua River.
It previously was believed that salmon could be held in
hatchery ponds only for a short time. The Game Commis
sion, however, succeeded in holding salmon in fresh water
at the Rock Creek hatchery until they were IS months old.
By the time of their release, they had reached sufficient size
to warrant belief thnt their chances for survival were
greatly improved. We will have evidence during the next two
years whether this experiment is working. Already a few
jack salmon two-yeitr-old males have been caught by an
glers, which is encouraging.
These jack salmon were identified as hatchery propa
gated fish by the fin clips used to mark all fish released as
a part of the expenmr nt.
Many experienced anglers hold the theory that salmon
are the "control" factor in a stream. As salmon die after
spawning, their carcasses fertilize the river. Fertilization
provides more food. TIiuk the river can support more fish.
It is a well known fact that a large run of salmon is followed
by correspondingly large migrations of other species.
This year our record spring salmon run is paralleled by
a record run of summer steelhead. Is this just happenstance,
or is the "control" theory a fact? Biologists will be anxious
to learn the truth. '
Can a stream, once one of Oregon's best, be restored
after being most critically depleted ? Will it be possible to re
build fish populations in the face of forest removal, improved
access to fishing waters and increased angling intensity?
Is the practice of holding fish in hatcheries to larger size
better than releasing them as "svimmer-ufpcrs?" If salmon
migrations can be restored, will other species gain also?
What are the depletion effects of commercial fisheries?
These and many other questions will be answered, at
least in part, by experiments now in progress on the Umpqua.
To date, answers are very encouraging.

Fulton Levis Jr.
WASHINGTON A simple method is available to po
litical convention chairmen that will halt the endless tele
vision mugging of delegates on
The steady stream of humorista
who arose to slate that thev doubt
ed the accuracy of the vole from
tneir own delegation, delayed the
Democratic convention by at least
4 hours. Anybody could ask for a
personal polling of the delegation
by telling the chairman that the
count was suspect. Nobody believ
ed the doubters, including the
chairman, but under convention
rules a poll had to be undertaken.
The remaining delegates yawned,
read newspapers or shifted un
easily on slat-bottomed chairs
while the boredom was underway.
Even after delegates had been
accused of seeking poll for the
sola purpose of obtaining a mo
ment of glory on a nationwide tele
vision network, the demands con
tinued. So, if that is the major
reason for delegate polls, it can
be slopped in its tracks without
hurting anyone's feelings or de
priving the doubters of their rights
to call delegate chairmen liars.
Instead of publicity polling dele
gations after a demand has been
made, the official tally clerk of
the convention could send an as
sistant down to the floor for a pri
vate poll. Convention proceedings
could continue while Ihe private
poll is underway. When completed,
the tally clerk's assistant could
report back to the rostrum and the
clerk would announce the results
No television glory would be con
nected with this procedure. Other
delegations could continue answer
ing the roll call.
At Chicago there were two ex
planations for th? repeated de
mands to poll individual delega
tions. One Is that a public statement
of support for a particular candi
date is supposed to put each dele
gate on record, and reveal to the
chairman any double-crossers in
his delegation. This could be done
just as easily on the floor under
the supervision of an assistant tal
ly rlcrk.
Tue second explanation is that
polling delegates is use'd as a de
laying tactic to give floor man
agers of various candidates tints
for their horse trading. This is a
fiction. At both conventions the
hors; trading was done by the
political bosses, and the delegates
feel 'let down' somehow when the
man in the ofiice of the presidency
of this great Republic speaks in
a manner less than on the hlijh
level it would seem the office
rates.
"The press is controlled by bis
business. Look at the advertising
pages if you don't believe it. . .1
has always been against me, and
if it was for me, I'd know I was
wrong." (Mr. Truman)
I personally know of one great
newspaper that is not controlled
by big business, and I think there
are others. And I have been look
ing at Ihe magazines and newspa
per advertisements very earnest
ly lately, noticing how many,
many of the great businesses
seem under the control of a great
desire to turn to Rod for wisdom,
strength, and guidance in this na
tional crisis. Never have I seen
so much "religion." non-sectarian,
earnest appeals to the reader to
ask, to pray in his own way at his
own convenience, for divine aid,
comfort, and help in finding the
leadership we need. The nulla
balllns of the two conventions
would suggest such advertising of
great value. Don't you think so?
roll calls.
had little or nothing to do with it.
Most of them answered yes or no
only when ordered to do so, after
the political bosses had made the
decisions.
This is especially true when the
bosses control convention ma
chinery. They can "advise" the
chairman to tune up the organ or
release a vocalist from one of the
back rooms whenever they need
time for political dickering.
The talk of streamlining con
ventions is not something born out
of extensive television coverage
this year. It has always been
heard after each convention, and
usually for the same reasons.
One suggested cure is for direct
primaries. This, in effect, would
mean another national election ev
ery four years. In my estimation,
unless better plans are under
study than those suggested to date,
there would be more confusion in
stead of less. When no one can
didate wins a majority of the con
vention votes, wouldn't there still
be the same political horse trading
in the end?
The loudest squawkers this time,
as usual, are those who got licked
at the convention. Senator Paul
Douglas of Illinois, who is uttering
the loudest protests this time, :s
one of those who got shellacked
at Chicago. He thinks there should
be more "serious reflection" in
choosing a candidate.
Douglas could well practice what
he is now preaching. Little serious
reflection was in the display put
on by Douqlas and his candidate.
Senator Estes Kefauver, when
they bulled their way onto the
platform during a roll call. Ke
fauver wanted to make a speech.
No parliamentary body ever al
lows speechmaking during a vote
or roll call. Yet, Douglas and his
candidate made the effort, delay
ing the convention and creating
more confusion.
The major curse of the 1952 con
ventions, delegate polling, can be
cured by keeping them private
Minor ones, like interruptions by
Douglas and others, can be im
proved with lessons in good taste..

Civil Rights
Issue Given
GOP Stress
Democratic Party Bolt
In Four Southern States
Looms As Possiblity
By The Associated Press
Republicans kept the civil rights
pot boiling Thursday for the pur
pose of cooking the Democrats'
goose.
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, chairman of Ge n .
Dwight D. Eisenhower's campaign
advisory committee, said the se
lection of sen. John J. Sparkman
of Alabama as the Democratic vice
presidential nominee shows the
Democratic party intends lo do
nothing constructive about civil
rights.
Sen. Richard M. Nixon of Cali
fornia, Eisenhower's GOP vice
presidential running mate, told
newsmen in Fresno, Calif., how
ever, that Sparkman is not a true
Southern candidate and is known
to be completely pro-Truman.
It was President Truman's insist
ence on federal civil rights legis
lation that split the Democratic
party in 1948 and lost the electoral
votes of four Southern states. Some
Democratic leaders in the South
are unhappy about the party's 1952
stand on civil rights and have not
yet decided whether lo support the
Democratic ticket of Gov. Adlai
Stevenson and Sen. Sparkman.
Chairman Arthur bummerlield of
the GOP National Committee
rubbed more salt in the wounds
Wednesday with the assertion that
Stevenson and Sparkman are
"hand-picked candidates of Presi
dent Truman" and will be "expect
ed to carry on the Truman tradi
tion."
Sparkman Will Reply
Snarkman. in Washington, said
her will have something to say
about civil rights in response to a
series of questions in a telegram
from Rep. Powell, New York Ne
gro Democrat. Sparkman said
Powell's communication is one of
15,000 he has received since his
nomination and will be answered
in its turn.
At the Illinois capital, Gov. Ste
venson made a few remarks on
civil rights issues in his first news
conference since the Democrats
nominated him for the presidency
last Saturday.
He repeated a previously ex
pressed view that fair employment
practices legislation is primarily
a state reponsibility. He said the
federal government should hold off
unless a state fails in its duty.
He said all citizens should have
"equal opportunities and equal po
litical rights."
Stevenson told the newsmen he
hopes major campaigners in his
Denail win "stay within the frame
work of my ideas." One of the ma
jor campaigners will be President
Truman.
T-H Law Nttda Revision
Stevenson also said he believes
the Taft-Hartley labor law, a prime
target of union labor leaders, needs
substantial revision but not neces.
sarily repeal. He said he views the
Democratic platform pledge of re
peal as merely a method of ac
complishing t h e same result
through an entirely new law.
Commenting on Eisenhower's ex
pressed goal of an eventual 40 bil
lion dollar annual cut in federal
spending, Stevenson said he hoped
"neither candidate or parly would
offer hopes that are forlorn and
at the same time be demanding a
defense establishment to accomp
lish our common objective."
Eisenhower has said he wants
the GOP campaign to give as much
emphasis to the congressional
races as to bis bid for the presi
dency. Eisenhower announced he will
not take sides in primary contests
between Republicans, but will sup
port the winners "to the limit."
Medal Of Honor
Vet Risks Life

proved Thursday he was still a

grief-stricken young mother from
Ihe ledge of a six-story builtiing
Mrs. Lucille Whombe 21, moth
er of two small children and des
pondent over the death of a third
last week from pneumonia and
heatstroke, had climbed to the
ledge of the downtown YWCA
building.
Maynnrd H. "Snuffy" Smith, who
during World War II fought a sin
gle - handed battle over the Eng
lish Channel to save a burned
out bomber, saw her and inched
his way along the ledge as a
crowd watched tensely below.
He said later she screamed at
him that she didn't want to live,
that she had just lost her five-months-old
child.
Smith said he told her to think
of th other two, and asked her
it he could hold her hand for a
minute.
"Then a fireman came up and
helped, because I couldn't hold
her alone," he said.

'Captive' Label '
Put On Stevenson
By Sen. Nixon
COLUMBUS, O. ( Sen. Rich
ard M. Nixon of California said
Thursday night Gov. Adlai Steven
son is a "captive candidate" who
would have no choice as president
but to continue Truman policies
and to keep in power the men
who made them.
Nixon, opening his quest for the
vice presidency before the Ohio
Republican State Convention, said
the Democrats offer the nation a
man who is captive to the CIO,
big city machines and President
Truman.
The fact that Truman hand
picked Stevenson and the Illinois
governor then picked Sen. John
J. Sparkman as a running mate
"is going to be one of the major
liabilities that Mr. Stevenson is
going to have to carry in this
campaign," said Nixon.
The running - mate of Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower told it's au
dience that "Ike'" will be a fight
ing candidate for president "right
down to election day."
"Ike" was more determined than
ever about that, Nixon said, "aft
er he heard what the Democrats
in the Chicago convention were
saying about him."
Nixon said Stevenson and Spark
man would continue Truman's pol
icies if elected.
The South knows Sparkmau as
a "Truman man," said Nixon. But
he declared the Democrats lost
the South when they failed to put
Sen. Richard B. Russell of Geor
gia on their ticket.
