Stanton Douglas County ia rolling out the carpet for Governor i'nul l'uttcrson when he visits Salmon Harbor July 9. It in not a red carpet. It is a black one. But in preparation lor the visit of the Governor, together with an anticipated throiiK of visitors, the county is paving street approaches to Salmon Harbor together with a strip along the drive facing the new parking area built recently. The Governor will lie the honored guest at a dedication program to be held at Salmon Harbor Saturday. This pro gram will celebrate the opening of new facilities at the sen sational fishing resort; Hundreds of visitors are anticipat ed for the festivities. ! The Lower Umpqua Chamber of Commerce has in vited many; of the state's notables to be present. It has arranged for an early morning fishing excursion for eVH desiring to try their luck. The dedication program will be held in the late morning, followed by a luncheon for in vited guests. Anticipating a large crowd for this event, and realizing the need for improved traffic facilities to serve the thou sands of anglers who .visit Salmon Harbor annually, the county court has authorized the paving of a loop road, per mitting better access, and also is surfacing a strip along ' the edge of the parking area. Many Improvements Mada The County Court and Port of Umpqua recently author ized expenditure of ?65,00U for dredging a larger moorage basin. Materials dredged to create tne nasin were usea to build a larger parking area, as parking of automobiles has been one of the big problems at the resort. The money advanced by the court and port district will eventually be recovered from revenues. Salmon Harbor, located at Winchester Bay, at the mouth of the Umpqua River is a unique fishing resort. Its fame has been spreading rapidly. In addition to a large number of Oregon anglers who find recreation there each year, it is attracting more and more out-of-state sportsmen annually. From June through September Salmon Harbor is crowded with sports fishermen, who thrill to the sport they find there. They never know what they will catch, but thev know it will be big. Salmon, both chinooks and silvers, predominate the catch but the angler may tangle with a striped bass, black bass, ling cod, flounder, halibut, sand shark, or some other species. In any case it will be a big fish. Elaborate plans have been developed for improvement of the resort. Engineers were employed a couple of years ago to make Up a master plan. All improvements havt been made to be incorporated into the development scheme. Much money already has been expended. fcv- ery dollar spent in improving facilities at Salmon Harbor has been more than justified by the increased tax valua tion of the area, plus revenues received from managed op eration. Commercial Aspect Viewed But Salmon Harbor's potential so far has only been scratched. It could become the principal headquarters on the Oregon Coast, south of Astoria, for the commercial off shore fleet. It is the nearest port to the chief salmon and tuna banks fished commercially. Commercial operators could save time and money in running to and from fishing grounds if they could berth at Salmon Harbor. But before the commercial fleet can be fully accommodated the moor age basin must be greatly enlarged, more floats provided, and better facilities for moorage and service established. It is hoped that federal funds eventually will be obtain able to aid in the further development of facilities. The job is too big for the county and port district to tackle at one time. If the program is left entirely to local inter ests, it will take many years to carry out all provisions of the master plan. v'fV Mux :-r r Ex-President Shows Desire To See Policies Returned NKW YORK .Ti She home trying to make good is just a young girl far irom in a strange country. And Dilys Lay has made good on the roughest street in America Broadway. But not in the way she wanted to. "AIL my life I've wanted to be glamorous and languid and above all to be laken seriously," sighed the Welsh lass. "And what do people call me? Cute well, if it's eule they want jne to be, it's cute I'll be. But I'd like just once to lie taken seriously. Kven my friends eall me Dilly!"

But the hard eyed little actress, who had appeared in 10 plays he fore mining here, is now 21 and would like the world tn realize that she is more than just a madcap. "In Kngland it is wonderful and important day the day a Rirl turns 21," she said "You are Riven a key to the house. You are a woman at last at last. "You are free to marry anyone, even without your parents' con sent. Not that I would ever con sider doing that myself. 1 don't think I could bring myself to do It even if I were 25." Dilys wanted her mother, a for mer actress who became an ac countant, lo accompany her here, but mother turned her down. "Mum told me I was on my own " she said. "She doesn't want lo try to live her own career over in her children s lives, and sh stage mother, always hovering over her darling." So Dilys and Julia Andrews, the pale and lovely ingenue of "The Hoy Friend," moved into an Fast Side apartment logelher.

ROBERT SMITH Nawi-Review Corratpondtnt WASHINGTON (Special) When former president Herbert Hoover bowed out of government service once again last week, he made it clear to newsmen covering his farewell news conference that he remains determined at 80 years of age to see a return to some of the policies that prevailed in washing ton, D.C., during bis own adminis tration of the government 25 years ago. And it was plain that he had singled out electric power policy for special personal attention uur- in? his duties as head of the com mission on government reorganiia tion which ended two years work June 30. The Hoover Commission had saved for Its final report to Con gress the set of recommendations on water resources and power, which in a word recommended that the federal government turn back to local governments and pri vate utilities the further develop ment of water resources of the Pacific Northwest and the nation. Hoover himself read a lengthy prepared statement to reporters hefore ooening the conference to questions and It was spiced with criticism of government otuciais who favor federal power develop ment. "At the Washington level the use of water is more a political, ideological and emotional problem than it is an engineering prob lem," cracked the pink-cheeked Republican. "The voices of the 11 engineers and three governors or former governors on our task force (on water and power) and the two engineers on the commission get drowned out in this clatter. I sug gest that the urgent need for de- velonment of our water waources requires more cement and less ide ology and less emotion." Hoover conceded that this task force had come up with some ideas that were too 'drastic for the commission as a whole, particular ly in recommending the sale or lease of federal power dams to lo cal interests. The commission rec ommended that public corpora tions be established in all the coun try's major river basins to take over the financing and further de velopment of the Columbia, the Missouri and other rivers. Because the commission's re port was somewhat vague about what would happen under this pro posal to existing, operating feder al rfamt this renorler asked the I former president what he had in I power development will decline toward the low station it held be fore the public power "revolution" of his successor, Franklin O. Roosevelt. In The Day's News (Continued from Page One) on the morning after the Fourth of July the total of traffic accidents. This year, the total was the big gest in history a grim 393. We,ll, there are more people. And more cars. Reckless driving? 1 suppose so. But lot's not forget that over the holiday weekend 239 people died by drowning. The number of deaths due to falling off stepladders and slipping in bathtubs hasn't yet been computed. These modern days are supposed to be dangerous days. I wonder. There are more accidents, of course. But there are more peo ple. And Our communications facilities are fabulously more complete and perfect now than in the olden, gold en days. Maybe we just HEAR MOlth about the accidents. Speaking of modern news The stock market continues its upward swing. The mid-day Wall Mreet report says gains during the morning hours ran to between four and five points. Is that good news? Or is it bad news? Is it the beginning of another in flationary boom? Or is the mechanical revolution just beginning to click? Well, you can't stop people from hoping. Maybe we are approaching the lime when our conquest of the ma chine will be so complete that in comes can keep on going up on technological improvement and prices can keep coming down for the same reason. That would be wonderful. It COULD happen. Let's close on a more serious note. Senator Lyndon Johnson of Tex as, who is the Democratic leader in the senate, suffered a heart at tack on Saturday nisht and is now in Bethesda naval hospital in the Congress Chat By HARRIS ELLSWORTH, M.

"The federal government would have to remain in control of the dam because of the obligation to irrigation flood control and navi gation," explained Hoover. II? added thai his recommendation was "purelv a managerial propo sal" designed to have "the states on. His condition, unchaneed since yesterday, is desenbed as serious. He is only 46. Senator Johnson shows every rather than a mere politician of;me(,t ,ne J10!?1 f"r low rent hotis- tne type that counts the votes fust Early this year the President sent a message to Congress sug gesting the enactment of a high way program. The essence of his idea was that a very large con struction and reconstruction pro gram be undertaken and complet ed reasonably soon. It was to be fi nanced by the sale of bonds by a government corporation payable over a long period of years. Money to pay off the bonds was calcu lated to come from the Federal gas tax which would increase m volume as the highways were im proved and greater traffic devel oped on them. The Congress is. however, con trolled by the opposition political party. A heavy majority ol all committees is likewise held by the Democrats. Under other circum stances the opposition would more or less ignore the President s pro gram as the second session of the 80th Congress failed to act on Tru man's legislative requests in 1948. However President Eisenhower is a popular president. There is peace and prosperity now. His admin istration has generated great pub lic confidence. The opposition does not fly in the face of those facts. hut it does not want to enact Republican program. This situ tion presents the Democrats in Congress with a difficult practical political problem So the "President's Highway Bill" is being revised in commit tee. When finally passed it seems certain that it will bear little sim ilarity to the President's proposal other than the title. The current House version, although it has not yet been formally reported by the committee, amounts to nine more than a long term authorization for highway appropriations to be made as they are at present. Rev enue will be provided by an In crease in the gasoline tax, an ad ditional tax on diesel fuel, and a heavy tax on truck tires and re treads. The proposed tire and rub her tax on trucks will, by the way. hit our logging industry very hard, I am told it could amount to as much as $1,000 per truck. This legislation will be carefully label ed as the President's bill even though it is not at all the olan proposed by President Eisenhow er. That, you see, is the wsv the opposition solves the political problem outlined in the previous paragraph. The same story is being reoeal ed on the Housing Bill. The Pres ident asked Congress to renew por tions of the present Housing Act which expire at the end of July. He asked also for continuance of the authorization passed last year for the construction of 70.000 pub lic housing units during the next two years. He made it clear that the purpose of this request is to To judge from the tone and con tent of the Moscow declaration India's Prime Minister Nehru sign ed with Soviet Premier Bulganin, it is really the United States and its Western friends that have been making trouble all these postwar years. The two leaders propose a bau on nuclear weapons and reduction of conventional armaments. They agree that recent Soviet disarm ament proposals are a substantial contribution to peace. They mention enecuve international control." Nehru and Bulganin champion Red China's bid for entry into the u.n. Ana they favor handing For mosa over to the Communist Chinese. They also reaffirm the principles or international co-existence draft ed by Nehru and Chinese Premier Chou En-lai at Bandung, Indones ia. At that conference in May, Neh ru showed that he has deliberately blinded himself to the truth of Rus sian and Chinese history, especial ly of the last decade. One of the principles of coexis tence he now espouses with Bul ganin is noninterference in the in ternal affairs of other nations. An other is mutual respect for the ter ritory of other countries. A third Is nonaggression. The undisputed fads of history are that Russia has subjugated, either by military threat or sub versive coup the satellite coun tries of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria. Only Marshal Tito's defiance, sup ported by a tough army, keeps Yugoslavia out of that category. Across the globe, the Red Chi nese, those kindly chaps, have managed and powered an effort to subdue all Korea, and have lent vital aid and guidance to a sim ilar drive against Indo-China. ', What Russia and China want, obviously, is noninterference after the facts of their conquests. By signing declarations with Bulganin and Chou, Nehru makes himself a party to this international plun der and seeks to put over it the cloak of decency. It is his most immoral performance in a long catalogue of shameful actions in the name of peace and justice. These same Red Chinese Nehru would permit to seize Formosa. Any rational solution of the For mosan problem will ultimately give it to the Formosans, not the conquering Chinese, And its de fense rightly belongs in the hands of those who would keep it free. As for the nuclear weapon ban, Nehru might remember that one could have been had long ago but for the stubbornness of the Rus sians. The proposals they now mane are only a rough approach to plans long advanced by the United States. Where was Nehru's praise for America when these first were offered? By this declaration at Moscow, Nehru appears to say he is now in league with the true peace-mak ers, tne communists in Russia and it is only the terrible war mongers of the West who prevent a grand accord which would make the world safe from war. The world truly hungers for peace. But we must hope that there are enough wise people in the world to recognize fraud when they see it and to demand the gen uine substance of peace not the propaganda variety the Russians celebrate and Nehru applauds. PICKER SHORTAGE SALEM m The shortage ol fruit pickers was aggravated W(d nesday as cherry growers began calling for harvesters. There still is a shortage of straw berry pickers, too, even though 20,000 of them ave now working. Employment officials said that part of the shortage was caused by lack of migratory workers, who stayed in California because of late harvests there. "" "- ml Reader Says COP Hot Sure Of Morse Defeat ROSEBURG (To The Editor) Now who's trying political chi chanery? . Your "Counting Chckens" ed itorial is typical. Trying to dupe the unsuspecting? It is possible you may be suc cessful in egging some naive Dem ocrat, with Eisenhower leanings, into believing he should oppose Morse in the primaries. What an opportunity that would be for some more of those "abusive criti cisms." Your aim to split the Democrat ic party, and your daily sniping at Morse, proves the Republican party isn't sure it can win. Even Governor Patterson isn't announc ing himself as a candidate until you editors soften up the opposi tion. L. W.
