Introduction to upper Deschutes area
of Atlantic salmon attracts interest
Visitors to the Wizard Falls hatch-
ery on the Metolius River have been
-- captivated by the beauty of the Atlan
tic salmon of various ages resting in
those man-made pools.
Many anglers have wondered
J where the salmon would be released,
and when they would be eligible for
- the lure of a trout fly.
Now comes the word from Oregon
; State Game Commission personnel in
- Bend that some of the big fellows may
be legal in 1961, in an unfortunately
' " named body of water. This is Mud Lake,
a s h o r t distance to the southeast of
- Elk Lake.
That lake, it will be recalled, was
: treated in September, 1957, to rid the
water of trash fish. In 1958, some
15,000 Atlantic salmon from Wizard
Falls were planted there. Many of those
; were of good size at that time, and
they have grown since.
This year, about 50,000 fingerlings
were planted in Mud Lake. All of these
were also Atlantic salmon, fine, big
game fish somewhat similar to steel
head or trout.
Before the Atlantic salmon were
released in Mud Lake several years
ago, that long, rather shallow body of
water was carefully studied by fish
biologists. It was found that the upper
neck of the lake is cool, fed by chilly
Quinn Creek. The lower part of the
lake is a bit warm, especially in mid
, summer. Deepest pnrt of the lake is
only about 12 feet. It was decided that
the Atlantic salmon, which apparently
' like to cruise in water of changing
tempr ratures, would do well In Mud
Lake.
The aquatic biologists were right.
The Atlantic salmon apparently are
doing well, and biologists nre hoping
that the lake will in time be augmented
, with a natural population.
Long Mud Lake apparently Is to
serve as the "ocean" for the Atlantic
salmon, and it is expected that they
will spawn in cold Quinn River. They
have not yet spawned, but those plant
ed in 1958, after gaining tempting size
at Wizard Falls, are expected to spawn
this year.
Incidentally, Atlantic salmon, un
like the Pacific salmon, do not spawn
and die. In eastern Canada and the
New England region, the salmon go
back to the ocean after spawning, then
return.
Atlantic salmon have been planted
in some other Cascade lakes, but with
out success. One of the unsuccessful
plantings was in Lucky Lake. Some
Atlantic salmon of fair size were plant
ed there but could not be located in
later years.
There was also a small planting in
Davis Lake. Some anglers reported
salmon there later, but the report could
not be verified.
Not until January will the Oregon
State Game Commission and its biolo
gists decide whether Mud Lake can be
opened to anglers in 1961. If the lake
can't be opened next year, certainly it
will be available for salmon anglers In
1962.
But those anglers need not have
rosy dreams of taking out an over
sized creel packed with those fighting
fish, flesh of which becomes appetizing
ly pink when cooked.
Atlantic salmon anglers will face
a most drastic limit at Mud Lake. That
limit may be as low as one legal fish.
But one big troutlike salmon out
of Mud Lake should be enough, if
anglers only realize that underway
there Is an important experiment, the
introduction of Atlantic salmon to the
eastern Cascades of the Deschutes
country.
Winter flirts with Indian summer
There was snow on the Cascade
peaks the other morning.
The old, gray volcanoes, snow
blanketed to the timber line, served
to remind Central Oregonians that
. winter Is in the offing.
But before winter chokes mountain
passes with snow and smooths the
slopes of Bachelor Butte for skiing,
there will be a period of belated Indian
summer weather.
This has happened through the
years, and there is no reason to believe
that the first snow on the Sisters means
Humor from others
A committee of celebrities has been
organized to support Richard Nixon
In the presidential election. Asked who
was to qualify for membership, Herbert
Klein, Nixon's press agent, said:
"Anyone who thinks they are a
celebrity, we will welcome to join."
Though the language of this state-
that winter has arrived.
But Central Oregon irrlgationlsts
sincerely hope that Indian summer
weather will not linger long this late
fall. There is need for snow in the hills,
to fill lakes and reservoirs with melt
water next spring and increase the flow
of the Deschutes.
If the moisture deficiency of the
past two years is to be made up, heavy
snow is needed in the hills.
Winter, flirting with Indian sum
mer, should not dally too long this
autumn.
ment Is muddled, the sense is clear. It
would appear to encompass all baseball
players who have ever demonstrated
razor blades on television. If Mr, Nixon
can collect about 35 million celebrities,
his worries are over. Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Secret state department
letter may be political
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON - The State De
partment is sitting on a letter to
Sen. Kenneth Keating, 'New York
Republican, which would cause
some real fireworks if ever re
leased. So far no one has been
able to pry it loose for under
standable political reasons.
The letter admits that the State
Department "saw very definite
advantages" in going ahead with
the present session of the UN Gen
eral Assembly despite the fact
that the United States would be
engaged In an election campaign.
The' political livnaiiuta behind
the letter is twofold:
1. In the two previous presi
dential elections, 1952 and 195G,
the State Department recommend
ed postponing the UN assembly
for fear foreign policy would get
mixed up in the presidential cam
paign. It wanted to preserve the
bipartisan foreign policy.
2. Vice President Nixon was con
sulted before the decision was
made to proceed with the current
UN session simultaneous with the
election. He concurred.
This cuts the ground out from
under his demand that Kennedy
cut out his attacks on Eisenhow
er and U.S. policy while Khrush
chev is also criticizing the United
States at the United Nations.
Nixon Relished Mr. K's Visit
The State Department's careful
ly guarded letter has another pos
sible significance. Dated August
16, it was written one week alter
President Eisenhower surprised
the world by indicating at a press
conference that he might meet and
talk with Premier Khrushchev if
Mr. K came to New York in Sep
tember. The statement flabbergasted al
most everyone, especially Secre
tary of State Herter who had writ
ten the President a memo in ad
vance of the press conference ad
vising that if Ike did meet Khrush
chev on top of all the recent Mos
cow criticism, it would be inter
preted around the world as a sign
of weakness.
However, Ike had also received
word from Nixon suggesting that
he not close the door to Khrush
chev. Nixon had in mind the pos
sibility that he personally might
participate in the UN debate and
stage another encounter with
Khrushchev. This he knew would
win votes. So, acting on Nixon's
suggestion the President surpris
ingly did not discourage Khrush
chev's visit.
In other words, instead of keep
ing foreign affairs out of politics,
in order to preserve the bipartisan
policy, a deliberate effort was
made to inject foreign affairs into
politics.
It was one week later that As
sistant Secretary of State William
Macomber, Jr., wrote the letter to
Senator Keating. Sen. Lyndon
Johnson, having got wind of the
letter, asked the State Department
for a copy. He was turned down
cold.
However, this column has learn
ed that the Assistant Secretary of
State informed Senator Keating:
"The possibility of postponement
(of the UN session) was carefully
considered early this summer by
the Department in consultation
with Ambassador Lodge (now Nix
on's running mate). Neither the
Department nor Ami) a s s a d o r
Lodge saw any serious risks to
tho United States interests in pro
ceeding on schedule."
The State Department further
stated that it saw "very definite
advantages" for going ahead with
the meeting, but did not explain
what these advantages were.
Note Upon Johnson's insist
ence, Macomber sent him a simi
lar but watered-down letter, ad
mitting that the United States had
postponed the two 1952-1956 ses
sions of the UN assembly during
the 1952 and 1956 elections.
Rep. Iris Blitch, Democrat, the
gentlewoman from Georgia, is not
so gentle when it comes to cutting
the budget on appropriations for
the Women's Bureau. But she has
a unique record for using the tax
payers' money for herself.
Some time ago it was discover
ed that the congresswoman from
Georgia had paid herself $100 a
month rent, from the taxpayers'
till, for office space that didn't
even list the address of her office.
As far as anyone could find out it
didn't exist
About that time Mrs. Blitch, an
alleged Democrat, was selected by
the Republicans to knock $50,000
out of the Women's Bureau ap
propriation to study the increas
ingly acute fRjWm oi older wom
en. On top of this it now develops
that the congresswoman has been
a user of Air Force planes to fly
back to Georgia. Mrs. Blitch is
not on the Armed Services Com
mittee. She has nothing to do with
national defense. But she likes to
ride in military planes anyway.
It doesn't cost her anything. So,
when she wants an Air Force
plane, she has an interesting way
of getting one.
She has Congressman Charles
Buckley, New York Tammany
leader and No. 1 ad.iser to Car
mine De Sapio, call up the Air
Force and get her a plane. In this
way it doesn't appear on Mrs.
Blitch's record.
For instance, Air Force records
note that on August 24 Chairman
Buckley of the Public Works Com
mittee arranged for a special
plane to fly Mrs. Blitch to Georgia
on "official business."
The official business was elec
tion problems in Georgia.
So the taxpayers paid for an
exclusive de luxe airplane trip to
take the gentlelady home in soli
tary, expensive splendor. She was
the only passenger.

To the Editor:
May I reply to points mat you
have raised concerning the rec
ord of the Attorney General's of
fice. The record of wins and loss
es of the Attorney General's office
is actually slightly better than
that of the circuit judges of Ore
gon in cases appealed to the Su
preme Court During the period
since I have been Attorney Gen
eral the Supreme Court has af
firmed approximately 69 per cent
of our cases and modified, or re
versed 31 per cent of them. Dur
ing this same period the Supreme
Court has affirmed the circuit
courts in approximately 63 per
cent of the cases and modified or
reversed 37 per cent of their
cases.
You referred to the Portland
vice probe. The results cannot be
judged only in terms of the num
ber of convictions.
Over a dozen bootleg and gamb
ling joints and bawdy houses were
closed. A vicious call-girl racket
was smashed; a police payoff
system was exposed. The district
attorney was convicted and re
moved from office.
I am glad to have had a part
in the state-wide drive in 1954-1955
that cleaned out a network of
wide-open brothels in 13 Oregon
communities, along with the in
variable narcotics traffic, vener
eal disease and hoodlums that are
associated with red light prac
tices. The City of Bend is to be
congratulated for taking the step
that it did during this same clean
up.
The important thing is that vice
conditions of long standing were
eliminated in the above instances
and that organized vice, gambling
and racketeering were driven out
of our state.
A public official can always de
fend his position if he at least
tries to do his public duty as he
sees it, even though he suffers oc
casional setbacks in the process.
In the words of George Washing
ton, "If to please people we al
low what we ourselves disapprove,
how can we afterward defend our
work?"
Very sincerely youn,
Robert Y. Thornton
