Mon., Oct 3, 1960 EXCELLENT ADVICE By Charles V. Stanton ' Ancriprn anrl hunter should be concernine themselves with the importance of access to hunting and fishing lands and waters. :The growing problem of access was one of the major points of discussion at nearly air late regional, national and international conventions of fish and game commis sioners, it is reported. John Amacher of Winchester, a member of the Oregon Stale Game Commission, is one of those who has long recognized the need for. preservation of recreational areas and the need for enlargement of facilities for public recre ational use. He has served as chairman of the Douglas County Park Commission since the inception of that or ganization because of his belief. J. H. (Rip) Van Winkle, Oregon City, chairman of the . Game- Commission, is another who has expressed his con cern. - , The problem of access, says Van Winkle, has never amounted to much in the western states until recently. Now it is difficult to get people to realize that recreational . facilities are shrinking at a rapid pace, while demand for ; recreational facilities is increasing in proportion to the ' boom in population, plus an increase in leisure time, plus better roads, plus better methods of transportation, plus higher income, etc. Conditions Changing Van Winkle, I presume, had reference to the fact that until Jale years any man could go almost anywhere in Ure. gon. Few farmers fenced their lands. The average hunt er was conscious of the fact he was on private land. He would take great pains to avoid damage to the other man's property. "No Trespass" signs were rarities. Any man who put up signs to keep people off his land was considered a bit "teched." Only "cranks" prohibited hunting or fishing. But that was when population was sparse. That was when honesty was a virtue. A man would lose his right hand rather than take something that wasn t his. , A man s word was as good as a million dollar bond.. A man respect ed the property rights of another, and was willing to de fend those rights. But those days, it seems, are "gone forever." New people moved into the area. Many of those people came from states where hunting and fishing were virtually un known pleasures. They went a little "nuts," to use a com. mon expression. In any group of people there are a certain number of "bad apples" Although the "bad apples" perhaps are in no greater percentage today than they once were, the fact that . we have more people increases the number, If not vne percentage, or hoodlums and vandals. y Thus conditions have changed. ' . " ' More Facilities Needed! Because some people have sticky fingers, because they haven't yet overcome their childish psychology of wanting to wreck and destroy, because they have no respect for the rights of others, we find that a gopd many property owners have found it advisable to prevent all trespass. Too, where open lands once might be used by only one or two Hunters, we find that today s population results in open lands being invaded by "armies." A vicious cycle is created. Overcrowding on private land means an increasing amount of private land being withdrawn from entry which, in turn) overcrowds what's left. The same is true of water used by the angler. Fishing water because of settlement, industrial use, exhaustion be cause of irrigation, pollution, and other factors becomes less each year. At the same time, more people go fishing. One method of increasing facility for fishermen is through impoundments. The Oregon Game Commission is seeking to obtain better utilization of our lakes and is en couraging, and sponsoring, man-made impoundments. But every time a lake is created through impound ment, as well as on our natural lakes, competition springs up with the water skier, the boating enthusiast. Water sports is as important recreationally as fishing. Yet we find a vigorous competition growing up between the two sports. And the Game Commission is in the middle. That lovers of all outdoor sports give more thoughts to facilities and access to facilities as suggested by the Game Commission is an excellent piece of advice. Of all the questions that face us at this moment in history (and their number is legion) I think we can all agree that tbis one looms largest in the mtjls of the people of the United Slates: How STHON'G are we? Are we strong enough to deter Russia from attacking us? I don't know. You don't know. So let's turn to General Nathan ll". Twining, who will retire tomor- TUW Higlll HI Liiaillliau vi uic tfuuu Chiefs of Staff. Before that, be was Air Force chief of staff. If anybody in America knows how strong we are in relation to our enemy, it is General Twejing. Speaking night before last it a dinner of the National Security In dustrial Association in Washington, he said: The United States can now de stroy Russia, and China, too, if we are attacked, and the commun ist leaders KNOW it." He added: "They know that even if they launched a surorise attack they would bring down DESTKUCTlUN on their own heads. fit all nor wpnnnni which does Russia presently fear most? Seeking n answer, let's turn to the Inter-Parliamentary Union, an organization in which many Asiatic Bookmaker Crackdown Begun By Government nations are represented, which opened Its, annual conference in Tokyo. in a special message to ine in ter-Parliamentary Union, Soviet Premier Khrushchev charged that tne U.S. government Dy sending atomic and hydrogen bombers through the world's air space cre ates an appalling danger for every one." The .Soviet delegate, Justas Paletskis, who read the message, added that "the American bases overseas are nothing but bleeding wounus on earw wnicn may cause war." Turning to the Japanese, he said: "Do you want this planet turned into anotner Hiroshima Dy a Hand ful of saber-rattling adventurers?" Why this bitterness about our bases that surround Russia? The answer is quite plain. Russia FEARS them. There are hundreds of them. Rus sia knows that if she launches an attack against us, bombers from these bases will DESTROY her. There are so many of them Unit she knows she can't destroy them all at one fell blow. Russia KNOWS we are strong. We mustn't, of course, permit ourselves to tall into the delusion that we are strong enough and don't need to do anything more. That would be fatal. But let's not get scared out of our boots. That, too, could be fatal. WASHINGTON (AP) The Internal Revenue Service Wednes day aimed a nationwide crack down at suspected bookmakers and lottery operators.

Thir t:A are expected to con ceMrafe " the anti-West o flen se that Soviet Premier MUj Khrushchev is waging in the unuea auw. Macmillan would fly to Washing, ton from the U.N. headquarters in New York Saturday afternoon visit with Eisenhower Sunday morning and return to New York late Sunday. He will be accompanied here by his foreign minister, Lord Home, and the permanent head of tie British Foreign Office, Frederick Hoyer Millar. James Marlow Ike Says No Meet With K Unless He Mends Manners WASHINGTON (AP) Youj can't abuse people and get away with it. That in effect is what President Eisenhower Sunday night told Premier Khrushchev in rejecting a summit meeting unless the Rus sian mends his manners. The President's language was a little more diplomatic than that but only slightly so. Since Khrushchev acts like a mama's boy a mean temper when he can't have his way his performance now should be rather memorable. For almost three yean Khru schev has talked of a summit meeting. In that time he has threatened, bullied, wheedled, in sulted, rattled rockets. He got a summit meeting brief ly in Paris in the spring but wrecked it over the 172 spy plane, insulted Eisenhower, and soon be gan talking of a summit again. Apparently too impatient to wait for Eisenhower's successor, the Russian came over here and put on the worst public performance of his career. This included threatening to re fuse disarmament unless his plan to revise really to wreck the United Nations was adopted. He insulted the Western powers: heckled British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan who was ad dressing the United Nations; and said he wouldn't meet with Ei senhower unless the President apologized for the U2. At no time did he say he want ed to see Eisenhower. But he left the door wide open. It was Eisen hower who slammed it almost shut in his face Sunday night. The President, in a letter to five neutral nations which wanted Ei senhower and Khrushchev to get together, recalled Khrushchev's various threats and intimidations. He said there could be no sum mit unless the American and Rus sian foreign ministers met first and paved the way for "some prospect of fruitful results" in other words, determined that Khrushchev really would mean business if and when he came face to face with Eisenhower. This is exactly the kind of ar rangement Khrushchev rejected long ago. He contended foreign ministers take up time, settle nothing. So Eisenhower both rebuked and rebuffed the Russian. in his letter to the neutrals he said: "I would not wish to partici pate in a mere gesture which, in present circumstances, might con vey a thoroughly misleading and unfortunate impression to the peo ples of the world." Because Khrushchev's desire for a summit meeting goes back over three years, his tactics in trying to get one may have been forgotten. From the beginning he has tried to bully his way into a meeting. He began by threatening to shut West Berlin off from the West. He reached his abusive peak in his speech to the United Nations Sept. 2.1. This increased tensions so much no doubt deliberately that the five neutrals thought they might restore peace by getting Ei- sennower and Khrushchev together. But if Eisenhower had agreed. he would have been yielding to tne deliDerate Dad conduct of. the Soviet premier. He chose not to, and his letter to the neutrals. aimed at Khrushchev, was a les son in manners.

Reader Opinions Smith Chairmen Charge Demo Smear Campaign To The Editor: Last Tuesday, the 27th, the Dem ocrat armada arrived in Rose burst with all guns firing aalvos of mud and brickbats. Both writers of this letter are making their debut in "letter to the editor" columns and both were prompted by unrealistic charges made by the Democratic candi dates against Elmo Smith. Re publican candidate for senator. first, tnanes u. roricr, candi date for representative, crossed his campaign lines by criticizing Smitb. It is, of course, true to torm for rorter to cross all sorts of lines, including the State De partment, good taste, and ethics, but bis reterence to Elmo Smith as a pygmy, leads us to feel that this was a new low in a record already too shabby to defend. Maurine Neuberger has repeat edly made her typical, general sounding smear accusations against Smith throughout the fall cam paign. In Douglas County, she stated that Smith is against fed eral spending, opposes the Sand Dunes National Seashore, and is therefore against highways, for est Service and welfare. There is only one fact apparent In these assertions. Maurine Neu berger is perfectly aware that Elmo Smith is not or has never been against such national insti unions, she is resorting to lies in order to present Smith as an ogre to the people of this state. Well-known for her unrealistic issues, purported to help the "com mon man", la creation of social Isttc Democrat dialectics.) Mrs. Neuberger continues to cas tigate the administration and the Hepubliran party for alleged fail ure to promote housing, highways. schools, and welfare, and anything else tne government could con ceivably control. The tmth is, Elmo Smith Is on record as having said. "The need for coastal highways Is greater at this time than the need for na tional parks. Better highways will stimulate Industry and a thriving economy in Oregon's coastal re gions. and encourage larger tourist trade." Klmo Smith fully realizes the tax burden, and has said, "I have a record of demanding full value tor the taxpayers dollar. I be lieve taxes ran be reduced through sound spending." Maurine Neuberger Is on record ' as saying in reference to taxation, I "I am not Interested in saving paper clips." She charges the Republican party and Elmo Smith as anti-labor, against working men, and against the state of Oregon. We defy her to prove it. We are determined that when Maurine Neuberger and company enter Douglas Countv with no ser ious issue but character defama tion that they will be answeredl Mrs. Jay Golden Bill Slrader Douglas County chairmen Elmo Smith for senator Cong. Porter Replies To Tugman's Criticism To The Editor: I see by your letters column Sept. 29, 1960 that Bill Tugman, my old friend, is going after me hammer and tongs on behalf of my Republican opponent. He says he doesn't, however, question my pa triotism and for that I suppose I should be duly grateful. Bill says criticism is all right, but a pox on my "mischievous med dling" such as suing the secretary of state to permit me to go to China, an action that now awaits the consideration of the Supreme Court. Bill doesn't discuss mv widely-stated belief that a member of Congress has a duty to inform himself first hand, where possible, so that his decisions can he based firmly on the best facts. No other reasons for my actions exist. Bill's partisanship causes him to lose whatever objectivity he did once possess with respect to poli tics. I did say that some tnot all) American investors in Cuba did not deserve reparations because they had greedily exploited the Cuban people, hand in hand with dictators like Batista, and had received many times their investments back in profits. Bill says he Isn't going to ques tion my patriotism but he goes right ahead to accuse me of ap peasement and apologizing "for what we are" and of not having a "positive faith in American princi ples." He offers no evidence for such slurs. I believe that it should be plain to anv f a i r minded reader that Bill Is work ing hard for the Republican candi date and with no concern for facts or the real issues. I suggest that he might do mv opponent more good If he helped him produce that "positive pro gram which he promised the vot ers earlier this year but which has never been presented. Charles O.
