INFORMATION PLEASE
By Charles V. 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.

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.

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

acted on the bill.

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.

Enemy bombers theoretically

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
