Angler Loses
Life in River
Near Kaskela
.' . ' . .
Donald Edward Livingston, 19,
- Portland youth, lost his life in the
I Deschutes river near Kaskella
Sunday morning, apparently in
an attempt to free his fishing
tackle, hooked on rocks invthe tur
bulent river. vi
With Irving Cantonine and Rob
ert O. Croskey, also of Portland,
the youths made camp on the Des
chutes Saturday morning, oppo
site Kaskela. The young fisher
men were joined that evening by
Edward, L. Livingston, father of
Donald, and L. G. Evers, both of
Portland.
Failed to Return
Early Sunday morning, Donald
started upstream to do some fish
ing. When he failed to return in
the late morning Croskey fol
lowed the youth's trail, and sev
eral miles above camp found Don
ald's clothing and his pole on the
bank. It is believed that he took
off his clothes to get out into the
water when his tackle caught. It
is surmised that the angler slip
ped into a hole and was swept
downstream.
State police, with Ned Green
representing the local office; Jef
ferson county officials, and
searchers from ' the Warm
Springs reservation, assisted in
grappling operations Sunday, and
worked until dark last Tiight. The

ed to make it plain that the
administration is ready to
abandon its opposition to the
injunctive provision in an ef
fort to win support in the cru
cial test vote expected tomor
row on Taft-Hartley repeal.
Labor Opposed
It was the biggest concession
the administration has made in
the bitter house fight, and one
which seemed certain to provoke
angry reaction from organized la
bor. CIO and AFL leaders have
attacked the injunctive provisions
of the Taft-Hartley law as one of
the main reasons why then want
it wiped off the statute books.
Rayburn did not say whether
President Truman had approved
hib statement. But it was assumed
that the president had given it his
okay in the hope that it would
pull his repeal bill out of the fire.
Rayburn was one of the con
gressional "big four" who called
at the White House this morning
for their regular legislative strat
egy conference with the presi

Francis J. Meyers, Pa., and House
democratic leader John W. Mc
Cormack of Massachusetts sat in
on the conference. They let Ray

Vote Tomorrow
Rayburn said he informed Tru
man he thought the house would
reject the proposed Wood bill
sponsored by a coalition of repub
licans and southern democrats as
a substitute for the administra
tion repealer.
The Wood bill is expected to
come to a vote tomorrow. The
Leslnskl bill, which is backed by
the administration, will not bo
considered unless the Wood meas

As the Leslnskl bill now stands,
a 30-day cooling off period would
be provided in strikes affecting

would be nothing hut a presiden

The Wood bill would continue
the 80-day cooling off period of
the Taft-Hartley act, backed up
by authority for the president to
seek an anti-strike Injunction.

Marionforks
Hatchery Bids
Called May 16
Portland. May 2 (IB The U. S.
army corps of engineers will in
vite bids May lb for construction
of a salmon hatchery at Marion
f orks on the north bantiam river,
approximately 18 miles above the
Detroit damsite.
The bids will be opened at 2
p.m. June 7, with the award going
as a whole to one bidder. Com
pletion time will be 220 calendar
days.
John Veatch, chairman of the
Oregon fish commission, said the
Marlon Forks hatchery will be a
distributing station to supply oth
er streams in Oregon.
. The Marlon Forks site was
selected, Veatch said, because of
its good supply of water of the
right temperature for hatching.
The Marlon Forks site is near
the confluence of Minto. Puzzle
and Marion creeks and the north
Santiam on state highway No. 222
about 15 miles west of Mt. Jef
ferson.
Alove Dam Site
Proposed work provided In the
bids will include clearing' and
grading, constructing rea ring
bonds, a hatchery building with
tin ice plant and a refrigeration
system, three residences with ga-
jages, power plant, diycrsional
channel, roads, walks, water,
sewer and electrical systems.
; Designs for the hatchery were
developed by the corps of en
gineers in cooperation with the
Oregon state fish commission and
the U. S. fish and wildlife service.
, Like the Metolius hatchery near
Camp Sherman, the Marion Forks
fnatchery will be a"bovefl not- be
low, a proposed damsite. The
Northwest Power Supply com
pany has applied to construct a
150 foot dam at Pelton, on the
Deschutes river, below the Meto
lius. At a hearing on the Pelton dam
application before the state hydro
electric commission,' Veatch
threatened to resort to court ac
tion to prevent construction of the
dam.
Veatch said construction of Pel
ton dam would render the $70,000
Metolius hatchery virtually use
less because the hatchery was
designed primarily to supply fish
to the Deschutes and Metolius
rivers. He claimed it would be
impossible for the power company
to comply with a law making it
mandatory to build a new hatch
ery below the dam because there
were no suitable hatchery loca
tions downstream.
Paid by Government
' Veatch said this situation did
not apply on the north Santiam
because the Marion Forks hatch
ery was to be used to supply fish
to other streams. Also, he said
the fish commission would not
have a case against the Detroit
dam because operating costs of
the Marlon Forks hatchery were
to be paid by the federal govern
ment and not the state of Oregon.
Col. O. E. Walsh, district en
gineer of the army engineers,
aid the corps originally wanted
the north Santiam hatchery to be
located below the Detroit dam
"but the fish commission insisted
it be above the dam to get the
right water temperature.
The Detroit dam will be 339 feet
high compared to the 150-foot
height of the proposed Pelton
dam.

On Blockade
Slated Soon
London, May 2 IP) The American-soviet
talks on the Berlin
blockade will be expanded soon to
Include Great Britain and France,
reliable sources reported today.
Dr. Philip Jessup of the United
States was understood to have
told Jacob Malik of Russia last
week that the western powers
were agreed that the preliminary
discussions should be converted to
four-power talks as soon as pos
sible. A foreign office spokesman
said he believed the appropriate
time for the changeover would be
when the discussion of dates for
lifting the blockade and conven
ing the council of foreign minis
ters begin "in hard terms." f
man of France said he thought a
.f oreign Minister rtooeri ocnu-
date for the big four council meet-
ing, Russia's prerequisite for lift
ing the blockade of Berlin, would
rbe set tins week.
Schuman said he hoped the
meeting would be held in Paris,
adding: "That is our wish, and it
has been proposed by others out
side France." He did not say who
the others were.
The actual date for the council
meeting has been the subject of
wide speculation. The best Infor
mation available here Indicated it
might be held late this month, if
the preliminary talks mature
along the expected lines.
BLOCKADE FAILURE
Washington, May 2 (U'l Gov
ernment foreign affairs .experts
expressed the belief today that
Russia wants to call off the Berlin
blockade merely because it is a
failure and not because of any de
sire to promote peace.
They said the success of the air
lift and the west's counter-block
ade has convinced the Soviets that
their own blockade is costing
them more than it is worth.
These experts, whose job Is to
analyze Moscow's confusing dip
lomatic strategy, warned that the
lifting of the blockade "would not
mean that, the Kremlin wants
peace."
the Russians are realists.
said one official. "They will dis
card any plan that Is not success
ful. But in the act of discarding it,
they will attempt to gain political
advantage."
He pointed out that Russian
propaganda, beamed to Germany,
now is stressing that the Soviet
Union Is willing to end the block
ade to prevent a war which "ag
gressive western circles" are plot
ting. rills week may show whether
Russia and the western powers
can get together on a formula for
ending the blockade. U. S. Ambas
sadorial -Largo Philip G. Jessup
and Soviet envoy Jacob Malik are
expected to resume their discus
sions.
However, there was some ques
tion in diplomatic circles as to
Just how much further the two
could go by themselves.

cials agreed, would lie a meeting
or representatives of the United

German questions.
