Game commissioners take locals' 'strong suggestions' By Web Ruble Bulletin Staff Writer Over 400 persons, mostly resi dents of Central Oregon, were on hand to meet the Oregon State Game Commission at the Bend High School auditorium last night, when the body held its last in a series of hearings all over the state on fish and game prob lems. It lasted for three hours and fifteen minutes, and it was quite a meeting. Dozens of individuals came be fore the commission to make sug gestions, recommendations and enter complaints. A good share of the statements were made by area residents of long-standing. Many of their comments were quite pointed, recommending clo sure of the doe deer hunting sea son in Central Oregon. "Our deer herds here in Cen tral Oregon are almost down to nothing," seemed to be the battle cry of those opposing the Game Commission's stand on doe hunt- ing. I Nothing was accomplished last ' night. The hearing wasn't suppos ed to finish anything. A formal (regulatory) hearing in Portland May 24 will be the final tribunal on hunting and fish matters. By state law, this final hearing must be conducted between May 15 and August 15. Bag limits and game regulations will be set at the fi nal commission meeting July 7. Chairman Rollin Bowles and all of the commissioners were pres ent. They included: Joseph Smith, Klamath Falls; Tallant Gree nough, Coquille; Wayne Phillips, BIG NEWS FROM SAMBO'S! 0W 24 HOURS ENJOY OUR SERVICE ANYTIME!

S. 97 S. 382-0808 Baker, and John Amachcr, Win chester. Bowles presided and elaborated from time to time, but the others had few comments to make. I M. Mathisen, game commission area supervisor in Bend, was also present to answer questions. Apparently the most volatile group favoring closure of the doe season in Central Oregon (and even all of Eastern Oregon from the Cascades to Idaho) were some rural and community residents in the Alfalfa area. Oscar Lang of Madras led off the parade of appearing person ages. He said that there is only about 20 per cent of the "original herd" remaining in Jefferson Juvenile group to meet here The Oregon Juvenile Council will hold its state convention September 25, 26 and 27 in Bend. An attendance of some 450 per- sons is expected. The invitation was extended by a Bend delegation at the spring conference this week in Klamath Falls. County Judge D. L. Pen hollow and James Fowler and Mrs. Ann Pettit, counsellors at Bend Junior High School, attend ed. Membership in the organization is made up of adults working with young people in various fields. School advisers, juvenile court workers, and employes of health, welfare and mental health depart ments are included. OPEN ! County. He quite pointedly said, ' cut out the doe season. Francis N. Stokesberry of the Deschutes County Sportsmen s As sociation, followed Lang and said, "We're not really worried. . .but concerned. . .there is a serious problem concerning our deer herds in this area." G. W. McCann, Bend, chairman of the locally - organized Oregon Fish and Game Council, got a round of applause when he offered "some statistics" on the local doer population. He said, "there is a count decrease except in the Oehoco unit which does show an increase." McCann then asked how the count is made. According to Bowles, only the deer that are actually seen are counted. Mc Cann s suggestion set the over riding general mood for the meet ing. He pointed out that there is a definite overkill of does and fawns, and suggested curtailment of the doe season. Al Ross of Bend spoke of a two fold problem. He cited that there has been a lack of consideration by hunters. He said he has seen shot, crippled does lying around left by hunters. One person, an engineering stu dent at Central Oregon College, nearly rose the commission's ire when he appeared. He said, "I'm calling you all a bunch of liars. I don't see how anybody can sit here and swallow this stuff that there isn't any depletion of deer herds. It doesn't take an expert to see what's happening." He suggested shutting the whole state down for a lengthy period, "and when you do open it up, don't open it up all at once for a slaughter," he added. Chairman Bowles suggested the student get together with Mathi sen and other local game people and help them in their count, if he thinks the commission is lying. Others appeared on behalf of a certain farming element which claims that there still are plenty of deer as evidenced by the way their crops are eaten up. One ar dent supporter of this belief was a resident farmer in the Sisters area. One person, Forbes Rogers, Bend, suggested that the doe sea son should be opened the second weekend of the hunting season, not the first as last year. Britton offers innocence plea KLAMATH FALLS (UPI) Klamath County Sheriff Murray Britton Thursday pleaded innocent to a charge of allowing a prison er to escape from custody. Circuit Judge Donald Piper set July 22 as the opening day of trial on the charge. Britton is free on $1,000 bail and continues to perform his duties.

(UPI) - Gene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb, 290- pound tackle of the Pittsburgh Steelers pro football team, died suddenly today and a preliminary autopsy report said "there is a certain suspicion of narcotics in this case." Lipscomb, 31, was found fully clothed and unconscious on the kitchen floor of a friend's apart ment An ambulance took him to Lutheran Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. A preliminary autopsy on the body of the famed football star, noted for his huge size and strength, was made by Dr. Rudi ger Breitenacker, assistant city examiner. We are checking a makeshift syringe found near the body for possible traces of narcotics," ur. Breitenacker said. Preliminary Autopsy Dr. Breitenacker said the pre liminary autopsy did not disclose the cause of death "at this time." The assistant medical examiner said a report on the syringe might be made later in the day but that it would not be known until next week whether narcotics were present in the or gans of Lipscomb's body. Claude (Buddy) Young, one time star football player and a friend of Lipscomb, said today he could not believe narcotics were involved in the death of "Big Dad dy." "I have never known 'Big Dad dy' to take any kind of dope," said Young. ' He wouion t do n. Lipscomb was found on the Iloor of a house belonging to Timothy Black, 25. Take Girls Horn Police said Black told them he and Lioscomb took two girls to a party Thursday night. Later they took the girls to tneir nome ana, after leaving them, went to Black's house. Black said he stop ped at a local lunchroom to eat while Lipscomb went ahead to the house. Black told police he found Lipscomb unconscious when he arrived. The body was then taken to the city morgue for an autupsy. Po lice said they had no idea what was the cause of death and de clined to speculate. A spokesman for Lutheran Hos pital said Lipscomb arrived at the emergency entrance at 7:55 a.m. Police said Lipscomb was un conscious and breathing heavily when the ambulance arrived at the house but he apparently died en route to the hospital. The 6-fcot-6 Lipscomb, wnose playing weight was 283 pounds, achieved all-pro distinction in the National Football League without ever having played college foot ball. A native of Detroit, the huge tackle learned to play the high powered kind of game favored by the pros while serving in the Marines. Signs With Rams He signed with the Los Angeles Rams for the 1953 season and for three years was known as little more than a routine lineman in the NFL. But in 1956 he was traded to Baltimore and it was with the Colts that he blossomed into one of the most feared linemen in the league. Gifted with amazing agility for a man his size, "Big Daddy" was one of the key factors behind the Colts' championship drives in 1958 and 1959. He later was traded to the Steelers and after two mediocre seasons, he regained his peak form last fall when Pittsburgh be came a championship contender.

He said tourism would become Oregon's second largest Industry this year, behind timber, but ahead of agriculture. The $35,000 study would be fi nanced by the highway fund, not the general fund. Cook said the committee would include four rep resentatives, three senators, and four lay persons named by the governor. He said tourists spent more than $400 million in the state last year. Cook said the committee could review work now being done to stimulate tourist business, become familiar with federal programs, focus public attention on the im portance of tourism and suggest ways to Improve utilization of the state's attractions. "This could be a significant step toward increasing payrolls, improving the economy, and keep ing Oregon the way we want it," he said. Sen.

(UPI) Presi dent Kennedy welcomed Canadian Prime Minister Lester B.

Kennedy greeted Pearson at this Air Force base before flying by helicopter with him to the Presi dent's home at Hyannis Port, Mass., about 18 miles away, for information discussions today and Saturday. The President said the United States and Canada "share mora than geography." They also have) a common history and a common commitment to freedom and "hope for the future," he said. Pearson, in reply, said he was sure he and Kennedy would hold their discussions "in the frank and friendly way which charao , terizes the relations between peo ple who speak the same language I even when they differ as they I are bound to differ from time hi time." Strainad Relations It was the hope of American and Canadian officials that this meeting would heal the strain in rrelationships between their two nations which came to a climax in statements by former Prima Minister John Diefenbaker. These statements were part of the cam paign preceding the April 8 elec tion in which Pearson toppled Diefenbaker from office. Neither Kennedy nor Pearson made any mention of specific is sues such as the question of nuclear arms for Canadian forces in their airport statements. There have been reports from Ottawa that Pearson was expect ed to commit his country to ac ceptance of nuclear arms for its air division in Europe and air components of the North Ameri can Defense Command on this continent. But there are still other issues to be resolved. Kennedy summed these up at his news conference Wednesday by saying: I think the central objective Is to go over all the areas which involve the common interests of our country defense, trade, the various matters of concern and distribution of natural resources, the flow of investment and all the rest. . . As close neighbors, we have whole spectrum of Interests and problems in common, and I'm looking forward to going over them all with the prime minister.
