Game Officials
Make Plans for
Post-War Work :
By Earl W. Hall ' '
(United Pre Surf Correspondent)
Portland, Ore., March 14 UP)
Post-war plans of the Oregon
state fish and game commission
are mainly directed toward re
turning the commission's proper
ties to their pre-war condition In
anticipation of a boom In outdoor
activities after the war, Frank B.
Wire, state game supervisor, de
clared in Portland today.
"A very heavy take" is expected
after the war, the commission
believes, making it necessary to
restock many areas in Oregon
with fish. Game has been pros
pering, Wire said, and has even
increased in some parts" of the
state since the war began.
"We have had to hold open sea
son on elk in some areas, because
they had increased to the point
that their concentration on state
properties became a detriment to
themselves as well as to grazing
lands," commented the game su
pervisor. -
Shortages Handicap
The usual wartime shortages
of men and materials have af
fected the state's fish and game
situation considerably. Hatchery
fish numbers have had to be re
duced considerably because of
lack of food and manpower. Wo
men are doing the work per
formed previously by men, Wire
explained. Feed for game has
been scarce also. .
"We hope to bring our hatch
eries up to date and to construct
additional ones as soon as it be
comes possible for us to do so,"
was the expression of Wire re
garding post-war plans of the flsji
commission.
Included in the post-war pro
rram are:
1. Completion of one of the 16
existing fish hatcneries, reDuna
ing another entirely, repairing
two more; one new hatchery prob
ablv will be built.
2. Renlacement of all pens at
the Pendleton game farm, repalr-

Mercy Shooting
Study Is Made
Headquarters, U. S. 14th Air
Force, China, March 14 (IB
Questioned concerning the court
martial acquittal of a 14th air
force lieutenant colonel charged
with the mercy shooting of a
doomed crew member caught in
the flaming wreckage of a bomb
er, Lt. Gen. Claire Chennault in
dicated today that in his 27 years
of flying he had never experi
enced a similar case.
The 14th air force chief, while
expressing regrets for the inci
dent, made it plain that the death
of this sergeant gunner in a B-25
at the Chihkiang base was one of
those rare, unfortunate incidents
which sometimes occur when
crews are operating under high
tension.
All staff officers concerned
with the court martial stated that
proceedings against the colonel,
who has been respected through
out this theater for consideration
of his men, were handled in strict
ly military fashion. No effort was
made to disguise the facts or in
fluence the decision of the court
martial board.
Backed By Crew
Further evidence indicates that
no officer or enlisted man present
at the scene of the bomber crash
objected to the colonel firing at
the doomed sergeant whose legs

lou're rolling along through mountainous west
ern country. Suddenly your train stops. Ahead
a signal light has turned red; The "talking
fence" has flashed its warning to the engineer.
Technically known as the "slide detector fence",
it is erected parallel to Union Pacific tracks
as a protection against falling rocks, trees or
other possible obstructions. Any such object
striking the fence breaks an electrical con
tact, "setting up" signals miles down the
track to warn trains approaching in either
direction. A trainman must then make a thor
ough inspection before trains can proceed.
Union Pacific uses every possible precaution
to safeguard its passengers and freight . ; :
troops and war materials . . . transported over
its Strategic Middle Route uniting the East with
the Pacific Coasf.
The "talking fence" is but one of the many safety
devices developed by our nation's railroads.
Such improvements result from enterprise and
initiative; characteristic American traits that built
the Union Pacific . . . that built Your America,
land of equal opportunity for all.
