The legislation includes two Sen- ate bills and a resolution by Ore gon Democratic Sens Wayne Morse, Richard L. Neuterger and other Congressmen from the Northwest. The first Senate bill would pro hibit licensing any dams on the Salmon river which would further affect fish passage. The other meaMire would require the Interi or Secretary's approval on all li censing of dams. Stepped Up Program The resolution provides for a stepped - up anadromous fish re search program. Albert M. Day. director of the Commission, said the resolution has been generally well accepted. The secretary of the Columbia River Salmon and Tuna Packer Association, James Cellars, told the Commission that the bill in volving the Salmon river was a "dangerous piece of legislation.'' He said "although introduced with good intentions, it is argu mentative of interpretation and of no real purpose and would be open invitation for dam building." Middle Snake Critical Day declared fish migration in the entire Columbia system is most critical in the middle Snake river. Of every 100 fish that pass McNary dam, he said. 40 go on up the Columbia and 54 enter the Snake. Day said upstream migra tions at Oxbow dam still are a problem even though the fish trap there has been fixed and is oper ating. A biologist with the Washington Department of Fisheries. Henry Werxiler, talked on the theme of cooperation between Oregon and Washington fisheries experts, spe cifically in fish counting and fish ladders at projects operated by the Army Corps of Engineers.

Banks has missed only 18 games since he joined the Cubs in 1953. Banks won the National League's Most Valuable Player Award in 1958 when hi batted .313 with 47 homers and 129 runs batted in and obviously will be a strong candidate to win that hon or this year.
