(AP) Senator Walsh, democrat, Mas-, saehusetts, announced today that , he had transmitted to the depart j meat of the interior, with a re Quest that, they be investigated, charges made by Mayor Ralph S. Bauer of Lynn, Massachusetts, that national parks of western United States are mismanaged and are not maintained on a parity with the Canadian National Rocky mountain park. Mayor Bauer said that he had visited "with a mind free and .open" the Rocky mountain; Estes. Yellowstone, and Hood National parks In this country in addition - to the" Canadian reservation and found, that the roads (n Canada wrrfl better maintained, while "the nolo resenratlon seemed to tfa run for the people to whom it be longs, rather than for the conces sioners In an effort to Meed the . people of the last dollar possible." Yellowstone Park Rna ,A For Private Interests He asserted that Yellowstone park Is not operated for the cit- lzenn Of the United States, "but is operated entirely, as far as I could see, tor the concessioners who are making millions of dollars, cap italizing the attraction that the almighty has placed there for the benefit of our people, for a per- - sons! profit-to themselves. Senator Walsh Informed Horace M. Albright, director of the Na tional park service, that he be lieved an Investigation into the charges should be made and indi- cated that he might take the mat ter up In the senate. I the first place Mayor Bauer said In this letter to Senator Walsh, the roads In American parks are narrow and not nearly as substantially constructed as those In the Canadian National parks. He added that only a very few short stretches hare been oil ed, with miles and miles afford ing, nothing but dust clouds with the passing of every group of mo tor cars. Concessions Controlled By Two Companies "Yellowstone prk hotel and transportation company really .control all the concessions al though this is not supposed to he the mayor continued. . He asserted that the other con cessions selling supplies to camp ers, erecting camps and otherwise operating in the park were sup posed to be individual concerns, "but the president of the Yellow . stone Park Hotel company orders , his general auditor to check over the books of these concerns every spring, so I take It from that there must be a financial tie up clear down' the line." , He charged also that although $3 motor car admission to Yel lowstone park Is assessed each car. for a road fund, only slight . - . evidence of such work - was seen bynl ajnA that the rangers and other government employes in the park operate in accordance with the wishes of the different hotel and concession managers.

The lad. in his bathing suit was splashing along in the edge of the breakers when he was seen to dive Into the shal low water and bring up a large Chinook salmon which had been driven Into shoal water by the breakers. There was a supreme straggle on the part of both boy and fish, but the boy by bugging the salmon tight against himself succeded finally in landing it high . and dry on the beach sand, after It had repeatedly slipped from his grasp by its struggles. After land ; ing the big fish alone and unaid ed the lad sat down by the side of his floundering catch nearly exhausted and by that time had attracted a . large crowd1 of ad miring spectators about him.

(AP) -The plight of Ray Burraker, the ragged, uneducated, .mountain urchin, who called upon the pres ident of the United States nnaa nonnced and made him the present of a possum, has morel Herbert Hoover to arrange for thearca Uoa of this youngster and his Il literate chums. Ever slaco Ray's visit Mr. Hoo ver has been impressed with the lack of advantages for the children in the section of the Bine Ridge mountains surrounding his fishing camp on the headwaters of the Rapidan river, and today It be came knows that he definitely bad decided to take steps to improve their conditions. The details of what is 'to bo done were worked out at a con ference with Ray's father, known throughout the mountain region as -Pa" Burraker. who called at the camp Sunday at Che president's Meat Have Extended Visit For some time the two, one the chief executive of a mighty na tion, and the other n rustic moun taineer who has eked but a liv ing by hunting and fishing, sat beneath the trees In front of the camp and 'talked and talked. The background 'was the rag ged slopes of tit Blue Ridge; the gurgle of the river, at this point little more than a small stream; a tew tents; and the open sly. At a result t their conversa tion, the president decided per sonally to head a committee to raise funds to build a little school house. Burraker agreed to see his neighbors and get them to join with him In requesting Virginia state authorities to supply a school teacher. None of Neighboring; Children Go to School There are five families living In the vicinity of the fishing camp with about a score of children of school age., Of these five, includ ing Ray. are of the Burraker fam ily. None ever has been to school, nor has fireside education ever taught any of them about the three "R's" of the world beyond their mountain hemes. Burraker told Mr. Hoover he would form a local committee of one member of each household at once and that this group would ask the state for a teacher. Mr. Hoover in turn promised to act as chairman of a national committee to raise funds for the school house. About $1,200 Is expected to pro vide all that will be needed at the start After agreeing upon these details the conference adjourned. The task of educating the moun tain youngsters, however, is look ed upon by those who have visit ed the mountain region as pre senting many difficulties. By WILLIAM R. KTJHNS (Associated Press Feature Writer) NEW TOR K (AP) C O L HuKh L. Cooper of New York, who puts lazy rivers to work, is half finished with his latest engineer ing project, a SlQO.OOO.oee mas terpiece. The Dnieper river has been lafmg its way for centuries across Ukraala to the Black Sea. It has continued to flow in aristocratic ease tor 1,400 miles through a grain raising land dedicated polit ically to the ideas that everybody should work. Near the town of Klchkas, at that point in the Dnieper valley known as the Donets basin. Colon el Cooper is superintending the construction of a dam for the gi gantic hydro-electric plant which the soviet government .says will be the largest In the world. Steam shovels from the united States first started nosing up the rocky soil lor this project two years ago. Today a huge coffer dam of stone, .timber and metal lies athwart the stream and work on the concrete dam will start soon.

For, more than over before, there wiU be evidence to the contrary, and a great deal of that evidence will be right from Marion county. Ever since the gates closed on last year's fair, the boys and sir Is of the 4-H club work have been planning for the bis showing which is to be made this year, ac cording to W. W. Pox, county school supervisor. If enthus iasm and interest count for any thing, exhibits this year will be the biggest and. best since these youthful farmers and home-makers began coming to the fair with their talents and products. The 80 clubs in Marion county include Sewing, which leads the list in point of numbers, cookery, corn, poultry,- sheep, calf, pig, pigeon and rabbit Old Agricnltoral Building Utilized A portion of the old agricultur al building which is being torn down has been salvaged and re modeled for use In 4-H exhibi tions at the fair, according to Mrs. Ella S. Wilson, secretary of the fair board. This will provide roomy accommodations for the en tries to be displayed where all may use them. will start flowing to the industries and farm houses of the surround ing region. Four of the largest hydraulic turbines and generators in the world for the project are being constructed in America. The total cost of the project Including an lmpressiveness assemblage o f American technical and engineer ing talent is expected to exceed 1100,000.000. Several millions will be spent for equipment from the United Btatea consisting of cranes, pneu matic drills, flat cars, steam shov els, pile drivers and derricks. Colonel Cooper's first engineer ing project was a bridge across a creek on his father's farm near Sheldon, Minn. He ran away from home and worked for a half doz en years on various bridge build- ng enterprises. That was years before the age of electricity, when water power was good for turning mill wheels but little else. Niagara Falls, the Tennessee at Muscle Shoals, the ponderous Mis sissippi, the Nile at Assuan and the Susquehanna are some of the moving waters that Colonel Coop er and his engineering staff have tamed and harnessed so that hu man beings might have more time to play. After spending the summer at Columbia university. New York City, William W. Fox, rural school supervisor, was back at work In the office of the county school superintendent Tuesday. Fox toot: advanced instruction In public health education while at Columbia. He arrived in Salem late Saturday after spending some time visiting with . friends and relatives on his way west Fox's first objective this fall will be to get boys and girls' club work under way. in the county. There are 19 of these groups with aoont iovv memoers in tne coun ty and their activities come di rectly under Fox's supervision. Hollywood TDcotec Home of 25c Talkies WED. A THUK3.

Saturday, Sept 18, has been dele gated as "Children's day, when school children from all over Ore gon will coma to Salem at special rates to see the fair, and at this time special 4-H club demonstra tions and parades of prise animals 111 bo put on. Marion Contestants Have Fine Sheep The Marlon county delegation will bo particularly strong in the sheep division, Mr. Fox believes, as some of the members have be longed tor as long as six or seven years, and have become thorough specialists. They know their sheep. The Salem club, the old Waldo Hills Shropshire club, famous throughout the state may furnish the Judging team either for the state fair or tor the Pacific Inter national Livestock show, as it did for the latter last year. Among the members are Don ald and Wallace Doerfter, sons of Frank Doerfler, and Donald Shel ton, of Marlon. The latter will also exhibit goats and poultry. The boys, however, will not take oft all the honors, as there are several girls who plan to bring prise-winning' exhibits to the fair. Hilda Bahnsen, Salem, and Helen May Thompson, McClay, are of this number. Sheep dns Cains Members Steadily Not only the old timers but the newcomers as wen help to furnish the sheep club with its strength, declared Mr. Fox. The Silverton club. Is showing' a great deal of in terest and includes such members aa Kenneth and Frederick. Dahl, both second rear members, and Harland and Howard Lowe. How ard was high scorer at the Paclf io International for two years in succession and is therefore Inelig ible tor competition thij year. He was also a member of the cham pionship judging team. Henry Torvend is the leader of the Sil verton club. There are also a number of demonstration teams being plan ned, with the Mt Angel clubs showing the most promising pros pects. Wood burn made a large en rollment last year and will place many exhibits this year, especially In the field of home economics. The rabbit clubs of Woodburn and Anmsrllle are very active. A new club In the Howell Prai rie district, led by George CHne, called the North Howell Corn club is also very strong. Although young, Cline is Its only experien ced member, the results are al ready exceptional, and Jt Is ex pected that this elub will bring back the honors which Marlon county formerly won in this field. Outstanding elubs and members from all over thd county will be asked to exhibit at the state fair. Mr. Fox said, and an unusual showing is expected. ..in a .i "The Q 1979.

Probably two days will be re quired to get It oft the valley where it crashed, they estimated. The shuttle was held at Elko, Nev., all last night on its return trip to New York after reports had been received et bad weather east of that point It flew above the airport there until morning and then proceeded eastward, dodging a rainstorm west of Salt Lake City. Then, flying In sun- shins, the fuel flow stopped and brought the plane down. There was no chance for a safe landing. Captain Eaker said, after his return here, as the mountain ous country, afforded no level space to bring the plane down. Captain Saker was enthusiastic in his praise of the plane and its engine which he said "never missed a beat" tor more than 100 hours of flying. NEW YORK, Sept I. (AP) H. J.

Eaker and Lieut Bernard Thompson, announced tonight aft er receipt of news of the fliers forced landing near Salt Lale City, the attempt would be aban doned for the present A damson said ' the flight had contributed much to knowledge regarding refuelling of heavy car go planes in the air, adding-that the successful landing in the rough country where Eaker and Thompson were forced down "is a credit to their airmanship."
