Stanton Today, we hope, will be fficta Douclas County's recreational resource. - Scores of men started this fish Doisoninir nroiect ever aion technicians directed distribution of rotenone in the waters of Diamond Lake. Diamond Lake was once famed recreation spots. This tled hetween the ueaks of and only a few miles from that grand spectacle, Crater Lake, was once the world's largest rainbow trout egg-tak ing station. The lake abounded in food. Aquatic life teemed in the small crevices of the lake floor and the thick beds of underwater vegetation. Fat trout would not squeeze into these mats of vegetation, or into the small crevices, to destroy the lake's food sources. . Yet there was so much food available that the trout grey? big and fat.. Trout weighing around 30 pounds were not uncommon in the "good ol' days." The Game Commission maintained an egg-taking sta tion from which they gathered millions of eggs each year for their hatcheries without diminishing the lake's fish population. Trash Fish Introduced ' One of the'finest lures .for a big rainbow is a crippled minnow. To- catch the "granddaddies" that inhabited Dia mond Lake, anglers- from Klamath Falls started bringing in pails of roach,, a species of minnow prevalent in the Klamath lakes. ; ' ' Some of their. minnows wriggled free, from hooks and managed to survive. Often fishermen, at the end of the day's sport, emptied their bait cans into the lake. ' The roach family is exceedingly prolific. The spawn ing rate is fantastic for such a small fish. Within a few years Diamond Lake was teeming with trash minnows. These small fish could work their way into the cre vices and masses of vegetation the troutj could not reach. Trout began going hungf. They could not compete with millions of minnows. Tfte Game Commission spread poi son in shallows in an effort to gain a measure of control. But despite all- efforts the roach continued to multiply. Instead off taking trout eggs from Diamond Lake, the Game Commission had to plant fish. , ; Federal Government Aids A few years ago the federal government, through an act of Congress, authorized distribution to the states of a nhara of excise. tax money levied on -fisHintt tackle..; Con gress has proposed at several tax, and each time nag met a storm or protest irom sports men, willing to be taxed to provide money for improved fishing. So with money from the Dfngcll-Johnson fund, plus money set aside from the state game fund over a period of years, the Game Commission is today reaching the cli max of a project which is attracting the attention of sci entists all over the country. . r , In accordance with, carefully engineered plans, the lake's water level has been lowered approximately eight feet, This also has reduced the water area. The lake has been marked off into sections. Along the shallows, boats towing sacks of poison will be operated by cooper . ating .sportsmen. In the deeper water, specially designed devices will be used; to distribute poison. " This poison, ob tained by reducing a South American root to powder, par alyzes the gills of fish. Thus the fish die from suffoca tion. Edibility is not impaired. Within a few weeks ,the effects of the poison will be dissipated. The lake then should be barren of all fish life. New food sources will be introduced and given time to become established. Fish now being held in hatcheries will be planted in the lake next spring. . It is expected they will find improved environment and restore the lake to its once high place as a leading recreational attraction. Jal ioijie BY SAUL PETT For Hal Boyle NEW YORK W) Charley Butterfield you know the byline as "C. E. Butterfield" is retiring as radio-TV editor of the Associated Press. Around here, that's a little like saying the RCA building is going to bo lorn down for a parking lot. Matter of fact, most of us were happily convinced that Charley would still be writing about radio long after NBC became a faded dividend memory in the minds of David Sarnoff j descendants. But Charicy says he's tired and wants to go down to Florida and raise chickens. I don't know why. The kid doesn't deserve a rest. We were just getting him broken in. After all, he has' only " been writing iibout radio for moro than 30 years. He has been radio editor for only 27 years. He has done his column for only 22 years. With' all that, the boy ts only 62.' Ho started young, at 14, on his family's kitchen table in Cham paign,' III., Charley built an ama teur wireless station in 1006. "In 'those days," he recalled, "there, were no commercial sta tions. All I got was coded signals from the government station. 1 couldn't understand the code but it was fun for inc, anyway. H wasn't for the Test of the neighborhood. "You see, I used an electrolitic rectifier to cut in on the house current, which was A. C. Kvery time I pressed down on the tele graphic koy, it dimmed all the lights In the neighborhood. You should've heard the squawks." ' Story Caroor Btgun , , in 1918, he came up to Chicago to do general bureau work for the AP. Within a low years, he was finding stories to write about radio at a lime when many people still couldn't spell the word. For ex- Ort Tuet. Sept 21, 1954 a memorable day as it af- morning the largest trash attempted, as Game CommiS' one of the Pacific Coast'i gem of the Cascades, nes Mt. Bailey and Mt. Ihielsen, times to reduce the rate of ample, he wrote about Chicago's - snem nignis. On those nights every station in town closed up so radio owners could begin whirling their dials to see now many long distance sta tions mcy couia pick up. On a good, clear night you could get Los Angeles. Charley came to New York as AP radio editor in 1927. This was at a time when radio fans were just switching from battery sets, which frequently cpilled over and burned a hole in the living room rug, to receivers using house cur rent. The big attractions Uicn were the A 4 P Gypsies, the "Cliquot Club Eskimos" (an orchestra), Graham McNamcc, and the Rev elers' Quartet, Of whom only Frank Parker is still singing. Charlie also tuned in on the first broadcast by a couple of fellows known then as "Sam and Henry," When the bova left Chicago they had to leave the name behind with the local radio station. In New York they became known as "Amos 'n Andy." Plugs For Taltvision In 1032. Charley made the front pages with an exclusive story. It was the first trans-atlanlic short wave Interview on record. The man on the other end in Vatican City was Guglielmo Marconi. Even in those days, Charley was firing questions at the experts about a fantastic bit of nonsense known as television. In that inter view, Marconi told Charley tele vision's chancci wora "rapidly" improving. Charley was writing so long ago -T- -. , , ; . ,-( - ... v ' - MKL. t, M t-.$Jf m -Er m "(Sruce WASHINGTON (NEA) Re publicans who may have thought they would get thousands of lush, top government jobs in the switch over from 20 years of Democratic rule have been sorely disappoint ed. Outside of postmasterships and armed service promotions, fewer than 3000 presidential ap pointments have been submitted to and. confirmed iy the Senate in ttfe 83rd Congress. They were di vided about equally, 1455 the first session and 1464 the second. This shows there was no great housecleaning in the political change of administration. Many of these appointments were trans fers of career employes ana some were replacements lor tne nrst round of Republican appointees who resigned On postmasterships, which are now supposed to be nonpclmcal lobs, only 75 nominations were confirmed by tlM3 Senate first ses sion. In the second session. Iter re-examining all applic jus, the number of postmasters con firmed went up to 1777, ATOMIC ENERGY Commission doesn't yet have to worry about a "i'h.D. Mnion a laoor organ ization made up of doctors ut philosophy. But labor relations, ex perts in this field believe that it might come some day. Some of the graduate engineers are al ready organized into a labor union and it's only a step from tills to a union of physicists and chemists. They do have their professional society now in the Federation of Atomic Scientists. Tightened se curity regulations and the with drawal of clearance tor Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer have chang ed the nature and purposes of this organization, however, and it is more and more placed in the posi tion of batUing for the scientists' rights." A COUPLE OF stories which have but recently leaked out ot last summer's UN disarmament conference in London show how careful the anti-Communist ne gotiators have to be in dealing with the Russians. The conference had no more than opened when U. S. General Al fred M. Gruenlher, supremo commander- of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, came to London to make a speech. In It he said that it wouldn't be long before the U. S. would have atom ic weapons in quantity to back up NATO forces. The Russian delegate, Jacob Malik, picked this up immediately and used it as evidence that the U. S. intended to wage atomic bomb warfare. That almost wreck ed the conference, and it took some time to get the disarmament about TV the headline writers hadn't even had time to catch up with the name ol tne new medium. One head over a Butterfield story was: "MCht-soeuiE bv radio. Charley was not only willing about the new gadget in the early thirties: he even built his own tirst TV set out of a kit of parts. His lust receiver used a neon lamp instead of a cathode ray tube. Thus the picture was dark red and light red . instead ol blacK and white. Tiny Pictura Productd You didn't have to be a crass- hopper to enjoy the first experi mental programs that came over Charley's set but it would have helped, bven wiin a magnuier, that set provided a picture only one and a half Inches wide and ono inch long. To see anything he couldn't be any more than two feet away. In those days, about all there was to watch was experimental pictures transmitted by NBC. Charley particularly remembers one in which all that happened was that a wooden figure of a ot kept revolving around a turn table. But he watched that postage stamp screen and he watched and reported on everything that came with the bigger and better screens developed since. Now he says he's going to retire In November, which just goes lo show you how tough it Is to hold on to help these days. Return of the Prodicja! $2ioteal' train of thought back on he track. AT ANOTHER disarmament ses sion, Moorehead Patterson, the U. S. representative, was presid ing. He heard a commotion at the window behind him and noticed all the other delegates looking up. It was a pigeon, trying to get in. Open up the window," suggest ed Mr. Patterson to break the tension. Let the dove of peace come in." Malik picked up the idea. He's been trying to get in for years," he observed, but the United States always keeps him out." After that, Mr. Patterson de cided to keep his mouth shut and not try any more cute remarks. UNDERSECRETARY of Labor Arthur Larson doesn't like the name Workmen's Compensation," which has been given to the sys tem for paying the equivalent of an insurance benefit to people in jured on the job. Mr. Larson wants to call the svstem something like Workmen's Restoration." The word compensation' con notes a sort of paying off, or buy ing off of an injury," he told the National Association of Compen sation Attorneys in Boston re cently. It seems to imply that the system has discharged its func tion when it has given the worker or his family a certain amount of money." CANYONVILLE - (To The Ed ilor) I wonder why you are so interested in Guy Cordon's pic lure that you have to use yonr whole editorial section to tell the people, that the Oregonian a few years back, tried to make him homelier than he really is? 1 think the voters are more interest ed in what he does and has done, than what he looks like. As for his getting back to Washington, D.C., why not let Ike and the General Motors tycoons worry about tha'7 and it looks like they are worry ing a lot right now. 1 have read your paper for the last twenty years and like it, but such bunk as you had in the edi torial of September 17 mane me a little sick at my stomach, - id Richard Neuberger's replv in the same issue made you appear ratn er silly. Why don't you realize lie is a little too smart for you to bandy words with and try and put something worth reading in your editorials. It might lust be possi ble you arc on the wrong side of the fence this lime and we might see an independent paper in this part of the state. Why not, for a chance, an editorial on how Mr. and .Mrs. Neubcrgcr were respons ible for getting colored oleo In Oregon and therebv helping the little fellow? And last, but not least, if you will show me if and when the GOP's ever did anything to help the working man, 1 will be glad to go along with them. "POP" GRBEN Canyonville, Oregon Insecticide Promoter Faces Murder Trial MAfXZ, Germany 1 Christa Lehmann, the widow from Worms who popularized an insecticide for suicides, went on trial for murder Monday before a German court here. Dressed In a simple green wool en dress, the 31-year-old brunette walked composedly into the court room with two male guards and a policewoman. Christa hai confessed to killing three people with the inseclicidc E605. Wide publication of her story was followed by a suicide wave in which more than 50 West Ger mans took the bug poison. Buyers of E605 now must get a special permit. In The Day's News (Continued from Page One) VOTES it also SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY IN ORDER TO GET VOTES. .

In a Democratic pitch, in Indianapolis, he puts this one over the plate: "The cavalier way in which the Republicans disregard the facts of mounting unemployment in the industrial centers and distress on the farms is scandalous but I'm sure there won't be. a depression because we know the American people are going to put Democrats in office in November, and the Democratic party knows how to defeat depressions."

Back in the early days in Kan sas, everybody was always talking about the TERRIBLE damage the grasshoppe' , were going to do, and yet Kansas grew up into a great stale. Maybe we can weather the poli ticians just as the Kansas farmers always managed somehow to weather the grasshoppers. Ford Motor Co. Hikes Dividend Payments NEW YORK Cfl Ford Motor Co. increased dividend payments to its stockholders last year to about $15 a share, a calculation of figures in the annual report of us largest stockholders. Ford Foundation, disclosed Monday. Ford had paid $10 per share in 1951 and 1952. Ford foundation holds 3.089.908 shares, all of it non-voting. Its annual report listed dividend in come of $46,361,853. Nearly all of mc rest ot tne 3.452,900 shares outstanding, including all voting stock, is owned by the Ford fam ily. The foundation began publishing its dividend income figures three years ago, so there was no way of comparing dividends with those in previous years. SOUND SLEEP ST. LOUIS Wl Adolph H. Bohnit, snoozing in a rear room at his loan company, was awakened by a vij irons pounding on the door. Sleepily, he admitted police who arrested a man found hiding In the bascmenl. The police toid Bohnn that while he was sleepin; a front window had been smashed, the firm's burglar alarm had sounded, and Ihe handle on the company safe had been pound ed off with a hammer and iron bar. Heaving Motion Of Vessel Blamed For Seasickness By A. ROBERT SMITH Nwi-Rvlaw Correspondent WASHINGTON The navy is trying to wipe out that most em barrassing of seagoing maladies, seasickness, and has notched an other step toward success. Navy doctors have singled out one specific type of motion aboard ship which they have linked with that green feeling that comes to many landlubbers who go to sea. Now all the ship design en gineers have to do is follow up by building vesels that won't heave. It's okeh for the shiD to continue rolling, pitching, swaying, surging or yawing just so long as it doesn t heave. Capt. Christopher C. Shaw of the naval hospital at Oakland, Calif., reports that experiments carried out on- voyages of U. S. trans ports carrying soldiers with little or no. previous sea experience have disclosed six distinct kinds of motions performed by a ship as it dances along on the waves. The innocent motions are rolling from side to side, pitching up and down, swaying, surging or a sud den motion forward, yawing or throwing the ship off course. The guiltv motion is heaving. which the doctors describe as "an oscillatory motion much like that of a cork bobbing on a wave." awaying, surging ana yawing seemed to have no connection whatever with mal de mer, the doctors found. Accelerated pitch ing and rolling seemed to increase the tendency among the dough boys to head for the rail, but heav ing was found to be the precipitat ing lactor. The navv is trvina hard to lick the problem because in a six-year period it counted up a quarter of a million men admitted to sick bays for seasickness, each one of whom was laid up an average of eight days. 22 More Persons Will Be Added To Fishery Check WASHINGTON (fl Twenty-two additional persons will be em ployed in the 22 communities to handle expanded commercial fish cry statistics and market develop ment work, officials of the Fish and Wildlife Service report. Secretary of the Interior McKay last week announced allocation of $1,800,000 for expenditure by June 30 to initiate a greatly expanded research program expected to in volve three million dollars a ye ir for three years. Officials told a reporter Saturday that one person to handle collec tion of the statistics will be added at several places, including As toria, Ore. One additional person to handle fishery education and market de velopment activities, which include promotion of fish and fish products for school lunch programs, will be aaaea ai Seattle. Officials outlined. special projects in the expanded fishery program, including a $234,000 offshore inves tigation of Albacore tuna in the Pacific Ocean. The study will try to establish where the white-meated fish,vmost precious of the tunas, spawn and spend their early years. Only ma ture fish usually are taken off California, Washington and Oregon. WCTU Head Assails Beer's Alcohol Content . LEXINGTON, Ky. Ul -Elizabeth A. Smart, legislative director of Ihe Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Monday accused the brew ing industry of fostering mislead ing advertising. She said Americans spurred on Dy Drewers' advertising now con sume more alcohol in beer than they drink in so-called "hard liquor." Miss Smart told the 80th anniversary convention of the temperance union that facts refute the myth promoted -by the beer industry that beer is not intoxicating. She said one of the "unsocial things that brewers' advertising has done," is not mentioning the alcoholic content in beer. As a result," she said, we now have a growing number of women beer alcoholics." "It is time we ended the brewer created illusion that beer is not an alcoholic beverage, since a bot tle of 3.2 beer contains about as much alcohol as a shot of whis key," the legislative director said.

L Powtrf Licensed Lady Furwral Director IL.i iwani'V' i ' itl One-Time Isle Of American Friendship Now No. 1 Critic By WILTON WYNN BEIRUT, Lebanon (1 Once an island of American friendship in a hostile Arab world, Saudi Arabia is fast becoming this region s No. 1 critic of the United States. In the past year, the Saudis have expelled America's Point Four pro gram, have publicly rejected America's offer of military aid, and have signed the famous "Ona sis deal" discriminating against imorii-nn tankers. And in Arab League circles, the Saudis have urged Arab states to follow a neu-. tralist policy in the cold war. j This is a far cry from the days : when the late King Ibn saua duui his country's foreign polity on the basis of American friendship and was willing to give Amerca bases on any strip of his desert sands. Among the reasons, qualified ob servers here list the following as important: 1 American indifference during the Saudi dispute with Britain oyer J dispute looked like a little thing to outsiders, but it became the big international issue to the Saudis. They expected American diplomat ic support and were embittered when they failed to get it. 2. American military aid for Iraq. The hashemite royal family of Iraq and the house of Saud have had a long family feud, dating back to the 20s when Ibn Saud drove the Hashemites out of the Hejaz in Arabia. The Saudis con sider aid to Iraq as aid to their enemy. ; 3. America's attitude toward Pal estine. This has made a particu larly strong impression on Prince Feisal, brother of King Saud and foreign minister. Prince Feisal led Arab delegations to the United-Nations during the crucial days of 1946 and 1947, when the United States backed the General Assem bly decision to create the state of Israel. It was the Arabs' most crushing diplomatic defeat. 4. A group of anti-Western ad visers around King Saud. This group includes such Arab nation alists as Rashid Ali -Gailani, an Iraqi exile who led a pro-Axis re bellion in Baghdad during World War II. Rashid AH has devoted his life to fighting foreign influence in the Arab word. His influence reportedly has grown sincethe death of Ibn Saud.

Durward Oweni Paid Advartlaemartt Industry Accepts Radiant Glassheat When wintry winds hit central New York State this year, Con tinental Radiant Glassheat will take over the heating job that coal has had for more than 100 years at Norwich Industrie.-, Inc., in Nor wich, New York. The newly in stalled heating system will cut the company's heating bill by thou, sands of dollars and give more healthful, less troublesome heat too. - The building in' which Norwich Industries has been making ham mers since 1831 has been heated by steam from two 150-hp. boilers, W. E. Curran, Norwich president, thought about replacing them with an oil burner which would have cost about S25.000. Then he found that for less than a fourth of this cost he could have a complete Continental Radiant Glassheat sys tem installed, which would be maintenance free and many thou sands of dollars cheaper to per ate. Continental Radiant Glass Heat ing is a truly radiant type of heat. The heart of the panel is the glass plate, onto the back of which has been fused an aluminum grid which becomes an integral part of the glass. Therefore, the longer the Glassheat operates, the more permantly fused does the cle ment become. . This is because the element used . by Con tinental Glassheat will last for ever and will not deteriorate with age. Most all elements of the other types, such as Nichrome wire and others, deteriorate with age they oxidize and gradually lose their efficiency. You've probably been exposed to radiant heating mai.y times without recognizing it as Such. Can you recall perspiring in your over coat on a sunny but cold day? That was solar radiant heating. If you walked around the corner into the shade, it was so cold that you forgot all about shedding the coat. Like Continental's glass panels the sun's rays warmed you and the other objects they struck. Continental Radiant Glassheat is the only fully automatic heat ing system which has the Good Housekeeping' Seal of Approval. The panels have been tested and approved by FHA, the Electrie Testing Laboratories and many leading electrical utility firms throughout the country. Headquar ters for Continental Glassheat in the Roseburg area are located at Lansing-Oliver, 847 South Steph ens, Roseburg, Ph. 3-6002. (Adv.)
