Stanton Did you ever see a man's face junt after he had caught a nice big- salmon? He glows all over with satisfaction, You can tell by his expression that he is proud and happy, that for the moment he is at peace with the world. That's one reason why Salmon Harbor at the mouth of the Umpqua Kiver is destined to become one of the out standing sports fisheries on the Pacific Coast. Anyone, with a little perseverance, will catch a salmon at Salmon Harbor. He will experience that feeling of contentment and inner gratification that comes from hook ing, fighting and landing a big fish. He will return to Salmon Harbor to repeat his experience and will tell or bring friends. While attending the Salmon Harbor dedication last Sat urday, I took some time, following the ceremonies, to stroll along the floating docks. I made it a point, as do so many others, to greet incoming boats. I took special note of the expressions on the faces of successful anglers, the way in which they demonstrated pride as they were compliment ed, the friendliness they exuded to all who gathered around to admire and envy. . In an office or at other work, these same people might be irritable, taciturn, nervous, tired. But for the moment they were relaxed, happy and friendly.- They might still be tired, but it was a different kind of tiredness. Covernor No Exception Governor Paul Patterson was a successful attorney in his home town. He has a brilliant career as a mem ber of the Oregon Legislature. He has been a' good gover nor and is recognized nationally as one of the best state executives in the Nation, But Gov. Patterson also is a fisherman. At Salmon Harbor Saturday he succeeded in landing a 20-pound Chi nook as well as a smajler silverside. His face, as he ex hibited his catch to the crowd and held it up for photog raphers, showed that same glow, that marks every success ful angler. Gov. Patterson has many achievements for his record. He has handled important legal matters with success. He has been victorious in numerous legislative battles. He has promote! some excellent administrative programs. But I'm willing to wager that his professional, legislative and executive achievements failed individually and collectively to give him as much pure, downright pleasure and inner satisfaction as landing that 20-pound chinook salmon last Saturday. He obviously meant It when he said that it was "one of the outstanding days"; experienced since he became gov ernor. ; 1 ' ' 1 f Coast Playground Expanding There is something about a successful fishing excur sion that a person never forgets. Psychologists tell us that our delight in catching fish or shooting game is a hangover from the days of our cave men ancestors; that it is the instinct from centuries ago asserting itself. It is that and more too a love of Nature and of the Outdoors, and an opportunity to enjoy God's creation. The salmon fishery of the Oregon coastline is changing with great rapidity from that of an exclusive food fishery to a recreational fishery. At Salmon Harbor one sees more than 400 sports boits, ranging from tiny punts to costly yachts. Charter bouts are filled for nearly every trip. A family from central Ore gon has a trim little fishing boat at Salmon Harbor and flies over each weekend to fish the bay. A person can go to the market and buy fresh fish for a few cents per pound. The fish he takes at the coast will cost him dollars per pound. Is it worth it? Ask yourself that question the next time you look into the face of the angler who has just brought in a big sal mon. You'll get your answer. We Doubt if He Hooks Very, Many Fish I j I Harry Bridges Again Denies Red Membership Appropriations Committee Recommends $212 Billion For Military Installations WASHINGTON Wl The House Appropriations Committee Tuesday recommended a J2.471.745.ooo con struction program at Army, Navy Air f orce installation! miring toe next 12 months. Projects for which money was proposed in a supplemental appro priation bill totaled $553,880,000 for the Army, $1)06,479.700 for the Na vy, and $1,311,385,000 for the Air Force. Many of the projects included in the money bill were authorized by Congress only Monday with the final passage of the military public works authorization bill. Other funds are for continued work on projects previously authorized. me commuuee denied lunas lor a number of projects, including two million dollars for planning work on a new drydock at the PuKi't Sound Naval Shipyard. Bremerton, Wash. The big drydock would have enabled the yard to handle the repair of Forrsstal class carriers. Also eliminated was money for a theater at Ft. Lewis, Wash. To finance tihe program, the committee allotted $1,395,879,000 in new cash, plus transfers of $48.1,. 812,000 from other military funds. The financing, together with carry over money, is 13 per cent less than the total construction pro gram approved, which the commit tee said would allow for usual variations in a construction pro gram of this size. The committee's1 recommenda tions for specific projects included: Army Madigan Army Hospital, Wash ington, $333,000; Camp Hanford, Wash., $167,000; Ft. Lewis, Wash.., $14,940,000.

In The Day's News (Continued from Page One) problem of surplus disposal, has approved a bill giving to the sec retary of agriculture more author ity to accept foreign currencies or barter deals in disposing of sur plus larm products. The bill ups the limit on such transactions from seven hundred million dollars worth to one and a half billion dollars worth. Again, you see. the committee has in mind the thought of get- ling more of our surplus farm crops consumed abroad. That brings up a recent protest by Hcpresentative Walter Norblad of Oregon s r irst congressional dis trict, tie says our army and navy are using Danish and Australian butter. He wants that practice stopped aW American surplus but ter used instead. This is Norblad's second orotest.

He also said he was never a member of any organization ad- Appellate Court Refuses Sheppard New Jury Trial CLEVELAND I A three-judge appellate court Tuesday' reluscd Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, ,31, a new trial. Sheppard had appealed for a retrial on grounds that his original 10-week trial was replete with legal errors. The Cleveland osteopath was convicted last December of sec ond degree murder in the bludgeon death of his wife, Marilyn, July 4, 1954. , "The defendant in this case nas been afforded a fair trial by an impartial jury, and in this court's opinion substantial justice has been done," the appellate court ruling said. The action ruled groundless a contention by the osteopath's at torneys that there were 37 assign ments of error in his long trial. The three judges, Lee E. Skeel, Julius M. Kovachy and Joy Se" Hurd, indicated they would not rule until next week on a second mo tion by Sheppard for a new trial. The second motion is based on defense claims of "newly dis covered evidence" which centers on testimony by Dr. Paul L. Kirk, professor of criminalistics at the University of California, Berkeley, Calif. Should the Court of Appeals hold against Sheppard on this sec ond and final motion, he would be removed from Cuyahoga County jail to Ohio Penitentiary to begin serving the life term to which he was sentenced. land.

(J3ruce (lioAA a t In the world of highway, when you slart by-passing the by-passes you're in trouble. And that, appar ently, is about lo happen. The Wall Street Journal, in a roundup look at the nation's traffic tangles, found that situation just one of many oddities as cities across the land strive desperately to cope with their problems. The avalanche of vehicles is snowing them under. In half a year there will be 60 million cars and trucks on the road, virtually dou ble the number a decade ago. By 1965, say the experts, the total will pass 80 million vehicles the magnitude of the traffic prob lem. President Eisenhower's pro posal for a 101 billion dollar high way program, by far the costliest yet suggested", shows recognition of the difficulties ahead. But all the evidence at hand in dicates that neither the federal government nor the states and cit ies are planning with sufficient vi sion and scope to surmount the problem in the for :seeable future. The truth is painful: We are swamped by the swelling flood of traffic. And the tide of cars is rising so swiftly and so high that we are likely to slay swamped unless we Beyond thai, we'll begin lo talk in; get some plans that fit the size of When it is reduced to Its funda mentals, the situation is absurdly simple. The surplus butter is own ed by the federal government. The federal government employs the army and the navy. Because of the nature of military service, it em ploys them on the same basis that hired hands used to be em ployed on farms so much per month and "found." Ordinary com mon sense dictates that when the federal government owns good food for which there is no market it should feed this good food to its employees instead of going out and BUYING MORE FOOD from somebody else. Especially since the federal government faces al ways the possibility that because of lack of storage, or because of spoilage, it may have to THROW AWAY the food it already owns. Such a practice violates all the principles of sound business. Any private person who followed it in his own business would need to have his head examined. MARY VILLE, Tenn. t There is a new kind of "hill billy." Here in the Great Smokies heart of Old Hillbillyland the mountain people have found a new wav of life that enables them to keep their ancient freedom while escap ing me poverty oi me past. The fictional hillbilly has become part of American folklore. Ha is a ahiflless figure in overalls who runs through the hills barefooted, a guitar slung over his shoulder, an old hog rifle in one hand, a jug of moonshine in the other. But your real mountaineer isn't that kind of man at all. The popular idea of a hillbilly tickles his sense of humor. Some times he doesn't mind playing up tu this role a bit for the tourists, but he doesn't relish having a "flatland furriner" call him a "hillbilly." He prefers to be known as a Southern Highlander, a hills man or mountain man. The mountain men. marvelously quick lo learn new skills, now come down Into the valleys to work in the factories but most still cling stubbornly to their homes in the hills. Some drive up to SO miles to their jobs. When Uie quitting whistle blows, they climb into their cars and drive bark to the mountains, and till then- hillside patches. They like the factory money, but they don't want to come down and live in tht cities. They don't like city air. Typical of these mountaineers Is Robert Clark, a 43-year-old black mith in Uie ALCOA aluminum plant here. Each day he drives ten miles to work from his 12-acr mountain farm where he lives with his wife and six children. Clark raisei much of hie own the problem. The answer clearly belongs., in the realm of staggering billions. Anything less won't buy us much space on Uie highways. And space means lives. terms of 100 million. The highways we have, even most of the ones we're planning, won't be able to take the load. They're already saturated with traffic in many, many instances. Two-lane roads have a safe, com fortable load limit of around 5000 cars a day. But many bear far greater burdens, sometimes six times that many Even fabulous new expressways are smothered in traffic.

WHAT TO DO WITH IT is a grow ingly acute problem. Common sense tells us all that the tiling to do with it is to get it consumed. The only way to get it consumed is to dispose of it at a price that consumers will be will ing to pay. Wheat is presently our most troublesome surplus. We have more of it stored up than we know what to do with. And a NEW crop of it is now being harvested. We've run out of storage space for it on land, and are slashing it awav ON THE WATER in surplus ships. Here in Southern Oregon and Far Northern California, where we produce comparatively little wheat but a LOT of livestock, we think we know what ought to be done with the wheat surplus. It should be disposed of at prices competi tive with corn and other feed grains. We could then feed the surplus wheat to our livestock, thus help ing to get the wheat consumed. The West consumes more meat tfcsn it produces. Thus we would be putting the surplus wheat to a sound, economic use. Rut that's business. Politics is something else again. Coos And Curry Hydroelectric Dam Turned Down SALEM Ufi The State Hydro electric Commission Tuesday re jected the application of the Coos Curry Electric Cooperative, Inc., to build a hvdroelectric dam on the Illinois River at the Bald Mountain site- The commission, headed by George W. Joseph, Portland, de clared that estimates of the stream flow at the site indicate that the plant would be idle for several months during each year. The project was estimated to cost $25,500,000. The commission said that the estimated cost of its power, 6.48 mills per kilowatt hour, would not be competitive with the cost of other nower in the region. The Illinois River would be Im paired as a fishing stream by the new dam, the commission added. However. Stale Engineer Lewis Stanley added, "the effect on the fish was onlv one of several factors leading to the denial of the appli cation." The commission concluded, "the expenditure of $1,200,000 in prelim inary work toward determining its engineering and economic feasibil ity is not in the best interest of the applicant, the investors and the power consumers." A hearing was held on the pro posal at Coquille, Nov. 22, 1954. vocating the violent overthrow of the government. These are the same answers he gave to questions on June 20 when the government called him as a surprise witness at Uie apening of the trial. Under defense questioning Monday Bridges told his early life in Australia, going to sea at the age of 15, entering the United Slates in 1920, and conditions on the waterfront that led to the or ganizaUon of the International Longshoremen's and Warehouse men's Union of which he is presi dent. Bridges said he joined the In ternational Workers of the World (1WW) strike. He said he was then a member of the AFL Sailors Un ion of the Paefic and joined the IWW because the strike was peter ing out because of what many sea men thought was "corrupt union leadership." Dismissal Danlad Bridges conceded the IWW was a radical organization and he quit after "just a few 'months." He said he objected particularly to IWW policies of undercutting pay rates to get its men aboard ship. Bridges said he became a San Russians Give Stand On German Reunification MOSCOW I The Soviet Union declared Tuesday night it has al ways supported the reunification of Germany, but said that this question is now overshadowed by West Germany's inclusion in the NATO. The Soviet statement on Ger man reunification, a problem cer tain to come up in the Big Four summit conference opening in Ge neva next Monday, was issued through Tass, the official news agency. Premier Nikoali Bulganin told Western reporters last Saturday such a statement on the subject would be coming within a few days. Tass recalled Western charges that the Soviet Union had lost in terest in German unity and said these were not accurate. It said the Soviet Union placed "the question of the reunifi cation of Germany in the first place" among world problems.
