Walter of the committee on Un-American Activities condemned what he said were "deplorable" security procedures of the agency. He said the agency did not turn up "startling facts" about the men until after the defection. They are Bernon F. Mitchell, 33, and William H. Martin, 31, who went to the Soviet Union in 1960. Walter Bald the NSA did not know previously that Martin was '-sexually abnormal," that Mitch ell had posed for nude photo graphs, and that Martin had associated- with Communist Party members during an assignment at the University of Illinois in 1959. Winding up a two-year investi gation of the defection. Walter's committee said It was "amazed and shocked" by NSA's security practices. Walter said both NSA and the Defense Department were first "reluctant to cooperate with the committee" in its investiga tion. By the summer of 1961, how ever, defense and NSA officials were cooperating whole-heartedly and rapidly instituting "important changes in the agency," waiter said, the committee report shows that their efforts were enormous." The report went Into detail on the background of Mitchell and Martin, who were hired as math ematicians by ' the cryptologlcal agency July 8, 1957.

The newsboys are all carriers for The News-Review. They won the fish ing trip as part of a circulation contest. Each carrier Salmon Harbor Has Busy Day; 488 Craft Out Harry Ludwlg, manager of Salmon Harbor, must have had the feeling every deep sea fish erman in the world had come to the harbor. Sunday morning's rush was so great, he had to call for police reinforcements to han dle traffic. He said every launching ramp, moorage and parking space was filled. And tho fishing gave him no help. It was tremendous. Those on skiffs caught their limits in half an hour, and charter boat fishermen were back in half the regular four-hour charter. The great rush of fishermen was the result of one of the best weeks of fishing this year at Salmon Harbor. It didn't take long for the word to reach the state's fishermen. With the harbor full, the Iaunchings spilled over from launching sites along the Ump qua River. The Umpqua River Lifeboat Station of the U. S. Coast Guard counted 488 craft crossing the bar, including 375 small skiffs. Salmon Harbor reported 262 small craft Iaunch ings, In addition to permanent moorages. - Saturday 220 boats were launched from the harbor ramps. Today skiffs were re turning early with limits, and in the first charter trips this morning, 14 boats were hack by 8 a.m. Normally they return at 10 a.m. - The Game Commission in a pot check of anglers Sunday checked 619 anglers who had a total of 978 salmon.

Lester Cushman, vice president of the Tulelake Irrigation District, disputed claims that giving first priority to agriculture in the Tule lake. Lower Klamath and Upper Klamath National Wildlife refuges would result in greater depreda tion of rice crops in California. Cushman made the statement Victims Of Auto Mishap Return To Winston The Richard Gardner family of Winston arrived back home Sun day after being involved in a head on collision near Seligman, Ariz., Aug. 5, according to Phebe Mc Guire, correspondent. In Mercy Hospital, after making the trip in a body cast put on es pecially for the trip is Wilma Gard ner, 17, who suffered a fractured pelvis in the accident.

Comedian Eddie Cantor Much Improved Today BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (UPI) Comedian Eddie Cantor, grief stricken by the death of his wife, is much improved today, accord ing to his physician. Canton collapsed upon hearing of tho death of his wife, Ida, Aug. 8 and was in a state of shock witli a nurse constantly in atten dance. He has been under treat ment a number of years for a heart ailment. He was allowed out of bed Sun day for the first time. "His heart is doing all right now," explained the physician, "but he is very sad and depressed and will have to continue rest ing." Smoker Gets Blame Members of the South Douglas crew of the Douglas Forest Pro tective Association Sunday fought a 14-acre grass fire lvi miles northeast of Myrtle Creek on Bil ger Creek. No damage was done by the fire which is reported to have been started by a smoker. Firemen were alerted at 4:47 p.m. Good Friends Mildred Wilson had to sign up a certain number of new subscribers to earn the trip. The group returned with two less than its legal limit and hod a whale oops, a "salmon" of a good time, (News-Review Photo). before the House reclamation sub committee which is holding hear ings on a Senate-passed bill to make waterfowl management the primary concern in the area with agricultural use second. The legislation was designed to end a dispute going back some 20 years between farmers and federal agencies seeking to con serve wildfowl which use the lakes as a stopping point in their migrations along the Pacific Fly way. Cushman said the proposed leg islation would not solve the con troversy but instead would cause "further conflicts between federal agencies and local governments in the basin. He charged that statements on crop depredation had been "com pletely misleading" in suggesting the birds would descend on fields to the south. "The intensified irrigated agri culture that prevails in our dis trict is not a detriment but rather a distinct benefit to waterfowl, because crop residue provides abundant fall and spring feed," he said. Cushman was accompanied by Alvin Landis, an attorney, and Forrest Cooper, counsel for the district. Landis told the committee that the proposed legislation raised "serious legal and equitable prob lems" and would "seriously im pair" the economy of the area without helping improve the waterfowl habitat.

Calif. (UPI) -A wide-area search was in progress today for two monkeys and four hamsters, last over nortneastern Manitoba when the giant research balloon from which they were suspended in capsules drifted away from its tracking plane. Brad Evans, iniormation direc tor of the Ames Research Cen ter, which directed the experi ment to test radiation effects on the animals, said planes were searching a wide area for the four capsules which contained the animals and other experiments. Atty. General Puts $60,000 Value On Missing Property SALEM (UPI)-Attv. Gen. Rob- ert Y. Thornton said today that his estimate of $60,000 as the value of missing property at Camp Withycombe came from a person close to the situation who wishes to remain anonymous. Thornton, the Democratic can didate for governor, said he was told the value of the property was ten times the $6,000 figure which had been quoted earlier. Thornton said again today he saw no reason for continued se crecy in the case. Gov. Mark Hatfield has appoint ed three retired Army officers as a board of inquiry to look into the situation and report its findings. ine attorney general said that after the Clackamas County grand jury has failed to come up with any indictments in the case the public should be made aware of the facts of the situation "without having it screened and strained through." He also argued that Hatfield, as commander in chief of the guard, should take the responsi bility for informing the public himself. Thornton said Hatfield was evading his responsibilities and declared the action was similar to the situation after a grand jury investigation criticized MacLaren school and the Board of Control sent to Washington, D.C., for a representative of the children's bureau to tell him how to run the probe."

It became lost in a storm sometime Saturday night, Evans said. He said a broad search would have to be conducted because of uncertainty about where the cap sules came flown. Canadians liv ing in the area, about 1,900 miles from the launch site, were alerted to be on the lookout for the red and white parachute or the cap sules. The balloon, which floated across the continent at an altitude of 135,000 feet, was equipped to drop its capsules automatically by parachute when It got below 30,- 000 feet. "We assume it is down," said Evans. "There has been no furth er contact." He said the capsule containing (he animals was equipped with enough food to sustain the Rhesus monkeys and hamsters for 70 hours. The experiment was designed to study radiation effects on the ani mals during high-altitude flights, as preparation for manned flights to the moon. Radiation measuring equipment and instruments to ob serve the animals' reactions were also contained in the capsules. The balloon flight was the third of a projected series of four high- altitude cruises across Canada. The first resulted in the death of the monkeys and hamsters aboard when the cooling system failed, while in the second flight the monkeys survived but the hamsters perished.
