2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Wed., Sept. 21, 1955 Wilsonville Site Recommended For Mental Hospital SALEM m Tho Stale Board of Control got the official recom mendation from its advisory com mittee Tuesday that a site north of Wilsonville would he best for the new state mental hospital. The committee earlier had made public its preference for that rite of 401 acres costing $226,790, fol lowed by one of 445 acres west of Wilsonville and another of M2 acres three miles south of Hills bo ro. The board will make soil tests and check on water supply before buying a site. The committee rec ommended, too, that it get a prop erty appraisal before final deci sion. The hospital ultimately will cost 15 million dollars with the first unit to cost 6 million. The advisory committee said Hi first choice is the best location be cause of its speedy access to down town Portland. It pointed out that the tract is level, and that it would be out of the range of any H-bomb that micht be dropped on Portland. The committee, headed by Fred erick Greenwood, Portland, said price was not much of a factor in picking the sites. Several sites near Hillsboro were eliminated be cause they would be in the flight pattern of jet planes which would use the proposed Navy airfield at Hillsboro.

Stream Altered To Make Trout Fishing Easier FRASER, Colo. liH They have changed the course of the Rocky Mountain stream where President Eisenhower fishes here to make it easier to catch trout. The President and his host, Den ver investment banker Aksel Niel sen, stood on the bank of St. Louis Creek Tuesday afternoon and help ed supervise a bulldozer and a stream shovel in the operation. The swift-flowing creek, which meanders through Nielsen's ranch, is being tapped to increase the supply of water to Denver, 70 miles to the southeast. The water will he piped over the Continental Divide to the eastern slope. Murray Snyder, assistant White House press secretary, told news men the President and Nielsen who have been fishing for trout here since 1940 have been plan ning for years how to alter the course of the stream to improve the catch. They decided to go ahead, Snyder said, when it be came apparent that the Denver wa ter diversion project might lower the stream level to such an extent as to spoil the fishing next year. So they had a new channel cut with the purpose of slowing down the flow, and in doing that created a few deep pools where trout like to lurk.

The blaze broke out only two hours after another fire in a bath house on the Coney Island board walk seven blocks away. The co incidence aroused suspicions of au thorities.

Eden, fully recovered from a re cent attack of influenza, drove up to Ix)ndon from his country home to preside over the meeting. The Cabinet met in the midst of the most serious newspaper attacks made on the Foreign Office in re cent years for its handling of the case of Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess, British diplomats who fled to the Communist East in 1951 after serving as longtime Rus sian spies. For four years the Foreign Of fice, under both Labor and Con servative governments, main tained tight secrecy over details of the men's defection. This was broken only last week-end when former Russian spy Vladimir Pet rov disclosed they were Soviet agents for a long time. The Foreign Office then con firmed Petrov's disclosures and said Burgess and Maclean were under investigation when they fled. Spurred by angry newspaper criticism, the government prom ised an official white paoer this week giving full detailt of tht case.
