SATURDAY, JULY 21,
PASSES AWAY
Los Angeles, July 21 (IF) William
Hickman Pickens, whose promo
tional efforts sent a parade of fam
ous figures from Henry Ford to
Suzanne Lenglen across the inter
national horizon for almost two
score years, was dead today.
Blood poisoning, indirectly result
ing from his last and perhaps fin
ancially most successful venture
the 500-mile road stock car race
here last winter took his life yes
terday. Pickens name was associated
with many of the pioneers of auto
mobile racing, balloon flying, air
plane stunting, foot races and pro
fessional football and tennis. He
was born In Birmingham, Ala., 60
years ago.
In the late '90s he started pro
moting bicycle races after beginning
his career as a competitor in the
sport. By 1000 he had jumped to
horseless carriages and soon be
came associated with a daring
young "speed maniac," Henry Ford,
whose famous motor Buggy "D!
sputtered and back-fired around
many a fair grounds horse-racing
track.
As the industry grew other fam
ous pilots raced under his wing
and passed on to undying fame,
Including Eddie Rickenbacker, Louis
Chevrolet and Barney Oldtleld.
Keeping abreast of the times
or a little ahead Pickens turned
to the air in 1907 by staging the
first international Gordon Bennett
race at Chicago. When asked years
later how he made out financially
Bill laughed and said:
"Well, sir, It was a great artistic
success
Balloons and autombiles weren't
fast enough, so three years later
he stepped Into aviation, sponsor
ing Lincoln Beachy, one of the
ereat early pilots. He staged an
Airplane-automobile race and put
on an air circus one of the first
which he billed as "three miles
long and a mile high."
When the World war started In
1914. Pickens did much to make
the United States government air
conscious, staging a night "snam
raid on Washington, D. O, which
had officials agog the next day
when they found the city strewn
with sand bags tagged tnus:
"This is what would happen if
an enemy were to bomb Washing
ton."
Soon thereafter the United States
boueht its first airplanes for de
fensive purposes, only to learn later
that the rickety crates the fliers
had used could not get off the
ground burdened with the sand
bags. Instead, plckens had raced
through the streets in the early
hours of morning, hurling them
from his automobile.
Pickens lost Beachy when the
famous flier fell to his death while
stunting over San Francisco bay
in 1915. Soon, however, he dug up
a young daredevil from Texas,
Ormer Locklear.
"Can you change from one plane
to another in miaairv asKea cm,
"Sure." said Locklear, so he did,
and the world marveled.
Pickens promoted one of the first
women fliers and is credited in
some courses with starting the first
air mail bv having one of his Barn
storming planes carrying a mail
pouch from one city to another,

FORMAL REPORT
Praise for the work of Gene Simp.
son, superintendent of state game
farms, and outspoken criticism of
nepotism which allegedly exists in
the state game commission was ex
pressed today In a formal report of
Willamette valley sportsmen.
A committee, appointed last Wed.
nesday night by sportsmen of Mar
ion, Benton, Polk and Linn counties,
urged that "nepotism In all its forms
should at once be discontinued per
manently." At Wednesday's meeting 70 sports.
men declared that the commission
was attempting to elevate Marion
Corrigan, son of Matt corrlgan,
commission chairman, to Simpson's
post. Marlon Corrlgan is employed
by the commission at the Eugene
hatchery. Recently he was sent on
a tour of northern California game
larms.
"We deplore the present discord
and partiality shown in the man
agement of the state game depart
ment and the apparent desire on the
Behalf of the commission to disre
gard the valuable services of Gene
Simpson," the report concluded.
Members of the committee making
the report included Van Welder,

KEYNOTE TALK
AT SILVERTON
SUverton, July 21 "We as citi
zens are Oregon's Recreational Op
portunities" was the Inspiring theme
thought of George L. Rauch's well
received talk at the banquet of the
opening session of the state con
vention . of the Izaak Walton
leaguers of America Friday night
at the Trinity church social rooms.
The well known attorney told
how we could spiritualize our scen
ery opportunities, the glory of
which we fall to appreciate because
of being so familiar with them, and
let the -tourist know of the varie
ties of out door beauties at hand
in the Oregon country. Rauch
listed the recreational opportuni
ties of the entire state. He sug
gested a tourist temporary license
fee of $1 rather than the $28 privi
lege tax for the tourist to fish and
hunt for a day or two. With
500,000 tourists in 1933, averaging
nine and one-tenth days stay with
an expenditure of $4 per day each,
and compared the small numVr
purchasing foreign license, he ar
gued that we needed a less expens
ive inducement to trekkers to leave
more money in our state. Mt. Hood
travel was induced by proper ex
ploitation and has paid well in re
turn, he stated.
L. McDougal was toastmaster.
The delegation sang "America." J.
C. Hassenstab at the xylophone
with Miss Anna Drcller accompany
ing, and John Overlund, baritone
soloist, accompanyied by Ernest
Byberg at the piano, furnished the
musical numbers. Mayor E. W
Garver welcomed the visiting dele
gation of around 125 members and
John B. Ebinger of Tillamook, state
president of the Izaak Walton lea
gue of America, responded. Each
guest present introduced himself to
the banquet group.
The nine state directors as mem
bers of the executive committee
held a session following the ban
quet to line up some necessary
legislation for the three days of
work and play.
Convention committee members
who made their officials reports at
today's forenoon session at the arm
ory included: finance, Ira F. Gab
rlelson, Frank B. Wire and Stanley
Jewett; credentials, W. c. Foster,
T. E. Roberts and M. E. Cornett
resolutions, Judge Harry H. Belt,
Arthur I. Moulton and Dr. P. A.
Loar; constitution and by-laws,
Chester E. McCarty, M. W. Skip-
worth and Ben F. Igo. A number
of distant guests arrived by air
plane in time for the banquet.
The public will be welcomed to

est to all citizens of Oregon who
