Reporter Skips Press Table Gossip Session To Pen Book May Bird Hunters Find Poor Fall Gunning PORTLAND VPI Upland bird hunters may find only fair gun ning this fall in many parts of Oregon despite the high carry-( over of adiiU birds this spring, the State Game Commission said today. The Commission said the opti mistic outlook during its spring breeding survey had turned to one of concent" following incom plete brood counts in several key upland bird areas. Field reports indicaied nesting conditions in eastern Oregon have been the poorest in years, and brood counts on pheasants, quail and partridge appear to be con siderably below the counts of last year. Production in the Willam ette valley and in Jackson and Klamath counties seems to be about normal. In Umatilla county, pheasant production appears to be critical, the Commission said, with rcMrts showing only., 4C per cent of the hens with urooils. It also noted that these broods are small, aver aeing only three chicks per brood. Last year during the mid July counts, 81 per cent of the hens were with broods w hich averaged 5.7 chicks per brood. Valley quail and Hunga-ian par tridge production in Umatilla county is also low, and the chukar partridge observed to dale show only 17 per cent of the hens with broods compared to 80 per cent last year. Pheasant production appears to be low in Malheur county with in complete returns showing 55 per cent of the hens having broods averaging 4.6 chicks per brood compared to 7t per cent average or 7 chicks last year. Other upland, bird species in Malheur county show poor production, particular ly chukars and sage grouse. ' The statewide inventory of up land game bird production was1 expected to be completed today to provide the latest information for a Friday 14 hearing when the sea sons and bag limits for 1959 will be set. Pittsburgh Nabs 34-20 Victory r United Press International The Pittsburgh Steelers. pack ing a goal-line punch, are set to renew the 1958 surge that made them the hottest team in the Na tional Football League at the tail end of the season. Pittsburgh opened its exhibition swing Tuesday night by scoring four touchdowns from inside the 10-yard line, two with less than two minutes remaining, to defeat the Cleveland Browns, 34-20. The Steelers, undefeated in their final seven games last sea son, broke the game apart when halfback Ray Mathews cut over from right guard from the eight yard line to put Pittsburgh in front, 27-20. With six seconds to go, linebacker Vic Lasse inter cepted Kim Ninoski's pass and ran to the one, where rookie half back Jim Smith scored. Jim Krutko, former West Vir ginia star, went over from the two in the first period to open the scoring. Cleveland tied it at 7-7 on Jimmy Brown's 74-yard run and went ahead, 10-7, on a 37 ya'd field goal by Lou Groza. Bobby Layne culminated a 75- yard march with a touchdown sneak from the one-yard line to make it 14-10 at the half, but Brown sent Cleveland ahead again with a seven-yard plunge in the third period. Tom Miner found the range with a 23-yard field goal to tie the game and put Pittsburgh ahead 20-17 with one from the 14 at the start of the final period. Groza retaliated with a 21-yard boot which set the stage for Ma thews' game winning score and coach Buddy Parker's first vic tory over Cleveland as a Stecler coach. The game was the first of five exhibitions to be ' played this week.

He is a member of the nights of Columbus. Gooding and his wife, Jill, have By FRANK ELEAZER I UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON ( ITI' Although there is nothing in the Guild con-, tract to actually require it. every self-respecting congressional cor respondent is expected to spend some part of each working duy acting wise at the table reserved for the press in the senators' dining room. There he will exchange lofty thoughts with his peers and other wise manifest his grasp of the legislative lowdown. Later it is considered appropriate to transfer these intellectual exercises to the National Press Club, where "what really happened'' is generally di vulged not later than midnight. Now it comes out through what one sneaky fellow has been doing for most of the past 15 years. In clear violation of the unwritten rules of reportorial conduct, Allen Drury, former United Press In ternational reporter and since 1954 Senate correspondent of the New York Times, has been keeping his mouth shut and his eyes and ears open, acting on his occasional stops at the press table as if all he knew was what he wrote for the papers. Nights he mostly went home. Drury Wrote Book Instead of regaling us with his findings, Drury saw fit to jot down what he learned on wads charitable assumption he was en- him to review il. hall mark of congressional re porters. We were left to the a son, David and a daughter. Laura. They will make their home at 1308 4th street. gaged merely in preparing his ex clusives for Monday. The results of this eccentric behavior were published Monday by Doubled ay 4 Co. in the form of a novel called "Advise and Consent." It is probably 4ue big jiest, fattest volume since "Cone With the Wind," and the critics seem almost as happy with it. I'm no critic, but 1 Sat up with i advance copy for aeverul nights, until my arms were para lyzed, and I am as astounded nt what Allen Drury has perceived through the years as at his ability to tell us about it. I just never figured Drury as the gossipy type. But it s all right there In the book and for $5.75 you get 816 powerful page -of fiction built around a consider able body of truth about the way things sometimes are done here. Critics Are Favorable - As the title suggests, the story is about a Controversial nomina tion to the office of Secretary of State, and what this does to the Senate. Although the book hits the stores in the wake of Lewis L Strauss' rejection by the Senate as Secretary of Commerce, ft was conceived and mostly finished be fore President Eisenhower even thought of naming Strauss to this post, Strauss in .fact is one of several people in official Washing- of the yellow paper that is the-) mg who will not be able to find themselves in the book anywhere Another figure suggested no where in the book, as far as I could see, is Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy ID-Minn.l and the Washington Post-Times Herald got McCarthy in Sunday's paper called It a fine novel, and went to some lengths, 1 thuiiclit, to point out that a novel, alter all, is all it is. Mary McGory. a reviewer for the Washington Star, gave Drury's book a rave notice. Tom Donnelly of the Washington Daily News call ed it "the best novel about Wash ington anyone has written." al though, as befits a story about the Senate, a little too windy. The Book of the Month Club selected "Advise and Consent" for August. The Reader's Digest Con densed Book Club has picked it for October. It's being published also in England. Both Hollywood and Broadway are nibbling. l-or this, Drury passed up his chance to luminesce at the press table. It's hard to figure some people.
