the M.A. Hanna Co., Cleveland,
a firm controlled by former
Treasury Secretary George M.
Humphrey, and with two Cana
dian rnmnanics. They were Fal-
. conbridge Nickel Mines, Ltd., and
International inickci u.

pound , of the. critical metalthat
had been prouuceo. at uie guvcm-ment-owned
Nicaro, Cuba, facili
ties. Industry obtained the govern
ment's metal, for prices ranging
from 52.1 to 59.6 cents. "
William N. Lawrence, an assist

On Code Experts
WASHINGTON (UPI) House
investigators issued a report to
day on the two code experts of
the top-secret National . Security
Agency wno aeiectea to kussii
two years ago, including the fact

photos.
Chairman Francis E. 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

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

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.
Burglars Enter Two
North Umpqua Cabins
Burglaries of two summer cab
ins on the North Umpqua a mile

also found quantities of miscellane
ous food missing.
Entry was made sometime be
tween Aug. 7 and Aug. 11.
In another report to the sheriff's
department, Mrs. Frank Drew, Rt.
4, Box 730, said a sheep had been
butchered on their property.

Klamath Basin Farmer Raps
Bill Giving Ducks Priority
WASHINGTON (UPI)-A Klam
ath Basin farmer said today that
giving ducks priority over farm
ers in the use of basin marsh
lands would not keep the birds
out of farmers' fields in the Cen
tral Valleys of California.
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

well as a fractured arm.
The Gardner's son, Dick, of Wil

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (UPI)
Comedian Eddie Cantor, grief

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

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.

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.

Wide-Area Search In Progress
For Animals Missing On Flight
SUNNYVALE. 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

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."

The balloon, part of a National
Aeronautics :.nd Space Admin
istration experiment, was launched
Thursday from Goose Bay, Labra
dor. 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.
