Stanton Previously in this column I mentioned the arrest of people for fishing from "floatinK devices" in Lemolo Res ervoir, an action that now is a crime hut one that will he perfectly lepal within a few more weeks. I'm sure that neither the Game Commission nor any of the law enforcement agencies want to make unnecessary arrests. I'm sure they prefer that people know the law and ahide thereby. People, however, could easily he Riven a little help in knowing the law. I am thinking particularly of the regulation restricting the "nursery" section of the North Umpqua River, between Rock Creek and Soda Springs, to artificial fly. A few days npo, while returninpr from a fishini? excur sion to the Steamboat area (no fish), I stopped at one of the roadside resorts. The people there were laujihinR about the siRht of an out-of-state tourist blithely fishiiiR the river, in view of the highway, with spinning tackle and flashing lure. He was in strict violation of regulations. No one, I learned upon questioning those who saw the occurrence, told the violator he was breaking the law. "There wasn't a Rame warden around, so why shouldn't he have his fun. He wasn't hurting anything. If an officer had come around, we'd have got him (the fisherman) fast," said one of the observers. Better Posting Needed The attitude as expressed by that observer, and doubt less shared by others, indicates one reason we have trou ble with the enforcement of game and traffic laws. Peo ple feel it is no crime to violate regulatory laws, as dis tinguished from moral or criminal laws, if one can avoid de tection. It is adjudged a criminal act if one steals, dam ages property, injures another, or commits other such acts falling within the criminal code. But no one feels himself to be a criminal if he catches more fish than the law al lows, shoots a deer out of season, or breaks the traffic laws, providing he doesn't Ret catiRht. And so, the out-of-state tourist was left to his fun. He probably departed with no thought or knowledge that he had broken the law. T doubt that he would have been arrested. Our law enforcement officers are usually lenient with out-of-state visitors who plainly are in violation because of unfamiliar- ity with the law. The incident, it seems to me, indicates the need of bet ter posting of angling rules on that section of the river limited to fly fishing. Ilecauso of the changes made by road construction, the stranger has little reason to suspect that the use of flashing lures is prohibited. A few signs are posted at camp grounds, it is true, but the man traveling along the road, which borders the river, And who needs only to step out of his car and work down a rock fill to the water, is not apt to see a notice of the fishing prohibition. Erect Modern Sign I would like to suggest to the Game Commission that it dip into its emergency fund and authorize Jim Vaughn, our regional game supervisor, to have built a modern type of signboard to be erected at the fishing boundary. It should, in my opinion, be one of those signs engraved on wood, as is done by the Forest Service, and should be set up on the road right-of-way where it can be seen by every person traveling the road. And it should be big enough to compel attention not a little notice visible only if one looks for it. Our Highway Commission has done a remarkably fine job in designating our highways. Tourists passing over our roads speak very highly of the fine directional signs, cau tionary notices and traffic aids. Why shouldn't the Game Commission be equally helpful to the out-of-state visitor? Why not some attractive signs advertising good fishing spots, pointing out access ways, telling of off-highway fish ing attractions, urging the visitor to try his luck on our lakes and streams? I'll bet nothing would create more good will for the Game Commission and tha State of Oregon, at the same time adding greatly to tourist income, than a little such information courteously and conspicuously displayed. County's Utility Tax Ratio Shows Drop To 30 Per Cent a MARYVILI.E, Tenn. Ufl Hunt ing out and restoring antique aulos has become the hobby of thousands of Americans who seek to revive the windblown joys of the days when motoring was young. Charles and Kenneth Coulter, brothers who operate a florist bus iness here, have traveled more than 10,000 miles in the past few years to build up one of the largest collections of old model Fords in the South. Each old car has some tale to tell. . .sometimes funny. . .some times one of heartbreak. . .some times just downright eerie. For example, there was one car Ihe brothers didn't get to buy for an unusual reason. Learning that a lady in a small town had a 1922 Ford, Charlie went to see her about it. She willingly led him out to her barn and showed him the cobweb-covered vehicle, but balked at selling. "But rats are already nesting in the upholstery," pointed out Coulter. "Soon they'll destroy it completely." "Oh, that's all right." replied the aging lady, confidently. "Dad dy will fix it when he comes back. He'd never forgive me if I sold his car while he was away." Charlie silently closed the barn door and left the car and faithful daughter. "I happened lo know," he re called, "that her father had been dead 15 years." Charlie, whose arm was shat tered by a Japanese dum-dum bullet after 119 days of combat in the Pacific, became interested in vintage vehicles after his relurn from World War II. lie and Ken neth, his younger brother, now have more lhan 20. They include 7 T-model Fords and 3 A-models, a loi-year-old, horse-drawn, glass paneled funeral coarji, and a 1918 Lincoln which they bought be cause President Eisenhower rode in it during his first campaign. Their goal is to obtain an open air version of each T-model Fliv ver turned out tjy Henry Ford be tween 1908 and 1927. "During that period he built 15, 007,033 cars," said Charlie. "A survey a few years ago showed only about 6.000 were left Now there are even fewer." The brothers at first were able to buy the old cars as junk. Now they pay from $100 to $500 up, depending on its condition, may spend $2,000 more restoring it. One of their best bargains was a fully restored 1909 model T which the Ford factory sold when new for $850. They paid $950 for it. Behind the rusting hulk of a car in the Coulter yard waiting to be restored lies a pathetic story. A farmer who never learned to drive himself bought the car in 1927 to surprise his young daugh ter. A few months later she fell ill and died. The father refused to sell the car, saying, "I couldn't stand io see a stranger drive that car past this road. Everytime he did I'd think of my daughter." He put the car in a shed. Snow collapsed its roof, and over the years the rain did its work. When Charlie learned about the car and told the farmer he wanted to re store it, the old man would take only $20 for it. "When I started to haul it away, he broke into tears," said Charlie. "I offered to let him have it back, but he shook his head and said, 'No, take it. But when you get it fixed, won't you drive it back here and take me for just one ride in it like my daughter did'?" Charlie usually likes to take his lime restoring his old cars. This is one he wants to get back on Ihe road as soon as possible to make an old man happy.

WASHINGTON (NEA) In the past three years, 32,059 U.S. servicemen on duly overseas com mitted crimes which were subject to trial in civil courts of Ihe coun tries where they were stationed. Recent hearings before Senate Armed Services Committee show ed these cases were disposed of as lollows: Jurisdiction waived by foreign courts and cases returned to U.S. military authorities for handling 21.807. Cases pending as of Dec. 1, IStoB 898. Cases brought to trial before ' foreign courts 9.354. Of this last milliner, those ac quitted numbered 928. Given suspended sentences by foreign judges 425. Fined or reprimanded by foreign judges were 7.096. Convicted and sentenced tj for eign prison terms 305. The amazing thing about these 32,000 cases is that over 99 per cent of them never attracted any at tention outside ' the local areas where Ihe crimes were commit ted. These figures do not include court martial cases. They cover onlv offenses committed by armed service personnel while off duty and outside militarv reservations, j CONSIDERING THAT : veral million uniformed Americans had i shore leave or served overseas in the last three years, the figures I do not reveal a high crime rate. I They don't make big news. ! Hut then along came Ihe case c.f iM Sgt. Hubert R. Reynolds, arquit ; ted nn Formosa by a I'.S. court i martial after shooting a nativ: I Peeping Tom. And Ihis is lopped by the case 'of Army Specialist William S. i Gu ard, who accidentally killed a Japanese woman on a I'.S. shoot ing range, the lulled Males lias now acquiesced to Japan's demand that Guard be tried in a Japanese civil court instead of by court mar tial, as I'.S. Army authorities had demanded. AT THE ROOT of this problem ', are the so-called "status of forces" ! treaties providing for the trial uy native courts in crimes committed i j while not on duly and away from i the post. In 1 9.)2 the United states gave Japan Ihe same status of forces agreement given to Norlh Atlantic Treaty countries. The U.S. now has ,25 such agreements, j In about 40 other countries where I the U.S. has .Military Assistance Advisory Groups MAAG there I are special agreements giving i training personnel diplomatic stat us which exempts Ihem from the jurisdiction of native courts. The United States was in the process of negotiating a status of forces treaty with Formosa when the Reynolds case arose. Had it been in effect the case of Sergeant Reynolds might have been as rou tine as those in the figures given above. BUT EVER SINCE Ihe status of forces treaty was ratified by llu Senate, an organization called De fenders of the American Const itution, Inc., has been trying lo i jhave it repealed. The organization lis headed by l.t. Gen. P. A. Deli iValle and Brie. Gen. Merntt B. i Curtis, both retired Marines. Thev publish a four-page month-1 Iv leaflet called "Task Force " i i which crusades for restoring con-1 :stilutional rights to the U.S. armed; : forces overseas. In the most recent ; i issue Rep. Frank T. Bow ( R- Ohio) i has the lead article asking for repeal of the status of forces treaty. j In view of the Reynolds case. I ithe chances of repeal would seem' to be slim. But Ihe real test will be how the Girard case works out in Japan. Lookingglass Church Plans July 27 Picnic The Lookingglass Community Church will hold a picnic at Ump qua Park the evening of July 27.

Plans Unveiled For Oil Pipeline SA FRANCISCO IM Plans lo construct a 330 million dollar pipeline from Alberta Province in Canada to the San Francisco Bay area were announced Friday by the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. The 1.300-mile pipeline would start operating in 1960. First de liveries would be 400 million cubic feet daily. Half of the supply to be piped in from Canada has been offered to Southern California Utilities, said Norman R. Sutherland, president of PG&E. The Canadian imports would augment supplies piped in from gas fields in Texas and New Mex ico. The Canadian pipeline would be financed by public offering of "securities in substantial States and Canada, Sutherland said. The pipeline, requiring about 550.000 tons of steel pipe, would cross several mountain ranges running across British Columbia. Idaho, Washington and Oregon. It would be linked with PG&E's clis Iributing system at Antioch, Calif. Community News Items 1 Miss Sue Mauri of Portland spent last weekend in Roseburg as the houseguest at the O. R.

Irrigation Benefit Lacked For Dam, Says Secretary WASHINGTON Wl - Secretary of the Interior Seaton Friday termed introduction of a bill to authorize construction of a fed eral Hells Canyon dam by t h e Army Engineers as an admission that the project does not include irrigation benefits. The bill was introduced in Con gress in a form requiring it to be referred to the House Public Works Committee after the origi nal Hells Canyon bill, calling for construction by the Reclamation Bureau, ran into difficulties in the House Interior Committee. Asked for comment at his news conference Friday, Seaton said the action proves that there "aren't any irrigation benefits in reference to Hells Canyon." "For the record," he said, "there never has been any recla mation in Hells Canyon, and now even the proponents admit it." The federal dam would be built in the Idaho-Oregon stretch of the Snake River and would flood the sites of dams Idaho Power Co. has been licensed to build. The original Hells Canyon bill has been passed by the Senate, but a House Interior subcommittee turned it down. The full House Interior Committee has not yet acted on the bill. , Mr. and Mrs. Los Newport and children, Bruce and Susan, enjoyed the Fourth of July holiday at Umpqua Beach.

LANSING & OLIVER OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK UNTIL 6 P.M. 1561 S. E. Stephens IF YOUR COPY OF THE NEWS-REVIEW HAS NOT ARRIVED BY 6:15 P.M. Imaginary Nuclear Destruction Hurled On More Than 100 Cities A general reduction of about 5 per cent in 1957 assicned utility assessment ratios for Oregon coun ties is shown in a report from the Oregon State Tax Commission. Not nil counties vter'o reduced in the new figure; 11 showed an in crease over Kt.'rfi assigned ratios of from one to three ratio points, while five counties stayed t h e same. Twenty counties showed de creases ranging from nine points in Gilliam County, six points m Jefferson County and five in Mak er, down lo a one point drop in a number of counties. County Shows Reduction Douglas County incurred a .two point reduction in ratio Iriini 32 per cent in 1956 to 30 per cent ,n l'J.i7. The county-posted ratio in Houghs County is unchanged from t'.l.Mi to 1057, holding at 25 per cent. In general, I ho 1957 utility ai sessment ratios announced by the tax commission indicate "a den ude easing" nf the sharp reduc tions experienced during two pre ceding years. Reduction will con tinue however, the commission syas, until "Hie level of locally lissessed property Is reached." The reduction will continue as In the past, but it will be spread out over several years. If previous commission policy had been followed, full equaliza tion would have been reached in a single step this year, the com mission advises. But a substitute plan was actuated. Plan Approved The plan was embodied in House ..limit Resolution -H. It was pro I posed and approved by the Ore- gon House of llcprescntatucs. but in the closing days of Ihe legis lative session, the proposal failed ilo clear the Senate. However, since jlhen. approval of the policy con jtained m t he resolution was obtain cd Ironi those in a position to ad ' vise the commission, according lo j the commission report. The basic mirnose of Ihe new iplan Is lo slow Hie reduction so that a minimum of "unanticipated economic hardships" will result. There is no contention that the equalization should not be made. but the Commission feels that it should be conducted over a lonyier period of time to allow a minimum disruption of the taxing processes. To cany out tins policy, the Commission this year made ad justments in Ihe relationship of ; earn ot the counties so that they will be Ihe same amount out of jlme with locally assessed property. In subsequent years the plan is in reduce the ratios by a definite j amount each year. This jear the ; ratios are approximately 120 per 1 cent more than other classes of j property. Each year herealtcr the assigned ratio will be reduced by 4 Per cent so that next year the ' calculation will be on the basis of j 115 per cent of the posted ratio, un jless there are other factors that ' affect the figure. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Enemy bombers theoretically struck from the north I'rulay to unleash an imaginary torrent of nuclear death and destruction up on more than 100 American cities. Il was only a lest to determine how well civil defense and gov ernment awucios could cope with the real Ihmg. The "suprise attack" was map ped to pose the greatest problems of any exercise jet for all branch es of the Civil Defense Organiza tion and federal agencies having essentia! wartime functions. Fourth Exercise II was Ihe lourlh annual nation wide leder.il civil defense training exercise and was carried out und er the name of "Operation Alert 1957." Willi a 8 a m. PST signal that make-believe enemy b o m b e r s were approaching the C n 1 1 e d States trom the north, a vast pro gram was figuratively thrown into effect across the nation to coordi nate relief, reconstruction and ci vilian inohilialion to meet the emergency. President Eisenhower, who the oretically already had issued a proclamation designating an "un limited stale of national emei gency and threat of invasion." flew wuh key aides by helicopter for a hideaway ' White House' al a secret location. Defenses Alerted T h e siqqHtsed proclamation aleried military and civilian de fenses, and created a top level home front war agency lo super vise price, wage, rationing, prior ilj and manpower controls It was called the "Office of Emergency Resources " Ihe first phase of lha test was 'for checking on how well civil de fense workers can tabulate and ! assess the devastation from nucle ar bombs and missiles, as well as provide the greatest safety for citizens I In following days, other of f i .cials will work on problems of ! operations from emergency reloca tion centers. In Ibis test, however, no cas 'uallv estimates were to be made public as in the past, on the j ground that they would be mis ' leading. (lenerally. the public did not participate except in a few places like New York City and other population centers. New Yorkers Take Cover I In New York City, air raid ! sirens sounded. People on the streels and in some buildings itn I mediately were directed lo air raid shelters. The "take cover'' operation in , New York proceeded quickly and I effectively. In Ihe Rockefeller Center area the streels were empty before the signal ended. Ten persons were arrested in Manhattan, al Chrystie and Stan j ton Streets, for refusing to go to a I shelter. Thev termed Ihe alert "a 'deliberate campaign of psychology i cat preparation for w ar " They were charged with misdemeanors, i Some of Ihe group had been ar rested at CI) tests two tunes prev iously for Ihe same offense.
