Senator Clark (D-Mo) put in that
the statement contained an impli

and noted there had "been much

he intended rfo such implication

During the early hours of the

out a substitute for the pending
amendment of Senator Ellender

that the bill contains no addition

Language acceptable to Ellen

self offered the substitute on the
floor.
It specified that nothing in
the bill should be eonstraed as

use of American land and naval
forces, except as that use might
relate) t manufacturing or

The time had come for action he
said. The senate had been de

he thought, , it might encourage

Previously, Carol had been rep
resented as seeking permission to

From Lisbon, Carol telephoned
proprietors of his hotel here to

"paid in full."
Carol and Mme. Lupescu eluded
their guards Monday and escaped
by automobile over the border to

was a separate osteopathic board;
Dr. Hosch and Dr. C. T. Hockett
(R-Wallowa) said their objection
Was not to a separate board but
to granting osteopaths the right
to practice surgery if they were
to be examined only by such a
board. . .. j . "
Rep. Phil. Brady (D-MulL) in
terjected a charge that in every
rib : operation the patient . is a
"human guinea pig," and -. Rep.
Bull closed with, the statement
that half of all surgical operations
arn unnecessary. The two physi
cians had insisted that they meant
no fundamental criticism of os
teopaths and Dr. Hosch said "they
did a thorough job in their line"
but sought now to practice sur
gery which they had originally
condemned.
The steethead bill as It stands
will ban mse of set nets In all
coastal streams but the Colum
bia, create a shorter and vir
tually uniform drift net season
which will end In most In
stance November 30, and close
several .streams and bays to any
type of net fishing.
The amendments offered by the
house fisheries committee, reject
ed after half a day's debate,
would have restored set nets but
prevented their use on Saturdays
and Sundays and for the period
of June 1 to October 15; forbid
den their-use between 8 a.m. and
3 p. m.; would have lengthened
the commercial season and al
lowed some elasticity for differ
ing runs in individual streams;
and would have established
"sanctuary lines" on each coast
stream, above which, for the pro
tection of spawning food fish, an
glers would have been prevented
from taking steelhead and sal
mon.
Rep. Donald Heisler (R-Was
co), chairman of the committee,
insisted that these amendments
would have benefitted sportsmen
more than the original provisions
of the bill. Rep. Erling Brauti
(D-Tillamook) cited figures indi
cating that salmon runs had been
increased in many coastal streams
through artificial propagation fi
nanced by commercial fisher
men's poundage fees, whereas the
salmon run in the Rogue dropped
off when commercial fishing
and a r t i f i c i a 1 propagation
ceased. -r
Defending the original bill, Rep.
Kenneth S. Martin (R -Josephine)
said it was "purely a con
servative measure" and predicted
that need for strict conservation
would be amply demonstrated if
federal, dams kill the Columbia
river salmon run. He averred that
the proposed "sanctuary lines'
could not be intelligently mapped
by "snap judgment" but should
await information developed by
biological survey studies now pro
ceeding.
The argument that commercial
fishermen would be deprived of
an occupation was stressed by
several speakers and Rep. Man
ley J. Wilson (D-Clatsop) said
the situation would solve itself
because commercial - ' fishermen
are mostly elderly men and that
restrictions' will discourage
younger men from taking up this
occupation.
