A FISHERMAN'S FACE
Charles V. 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.

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.

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

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

The federal government has a
vast amount of taxpayers' money
tied up in surplus farm products.
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."

MOSCOW I The Soviet Union
declared Tuesday night it has al

question is now overshadowed by
West Germany's inclusion in the
NATO.
The Soviet statement on Ger

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

these were not accurate.
It said the Soviet Union placed
"the question of the reunifi

place" among world problems.
