The commercial fishing si son on the Columbia river west of Cascade Locks may be ex tended by two days, provided that the opening of the fall sea son is delayed by two days, the attorney general's office ruled today for the Oregon Fish com mission. The Washington state bureau of fisheries requested the Ore gon fish commission to extend the spring season, which Is due to close today. The fall season is scheduled to open September 10. The attorney general's letter to the fish commission said: "The authority of the fish commission to extend the spring season for commercial fishing in the Columbia river for any per iod of time is conditioned upon the opening of the fall season being postponed the same num ber of days that the spring sea son Is extended. "This constitutes a limitation upon the power of the commis sion. The compact between the states of Oregon and Washing ton does not authorize the Ore gon Fish commission to disre gard the statutory provisions re lating to the extension of the commercial fishing season." j (rueful jatfet Vtftinl Ubeve) U "y-rrT-y; Ni.wrl'w'''T'''TT"t''' VV 1 t 5 ' ' I i- w. . , A l,$ ' i ADMIRALTY is. r ii'jjLr t solomon is.

Olson and Warren Win in California (By the Associated Prejs) Two primary opponents who waged a heated battle for Cali fornia's gubernatorial nomination were assured today of a return match in the fall elections. The republican nomination went over whelmingly to Earl Warren a Vitamin Rule More Liberal Washington, August 26 -Lib eralization of the restrictions go verning the use of vitamin A in feeds was announced by the di rector general for operations to day in a revision of limitation order L-40. The order as amended April 10 placed a maximum of 1000 on the number of vitamin A units which were permitted to be in corporated per pound of feed except for turkey and poultry breeding feeds, which were at lowed 2000 units per pound. The amended order announc ed today permits an additional 1000 units per pound In each ca tegory. . Health supplies branch offi cials explained that the supply of vitamin A oils is sufficient to permit this liberalization. A fur ther reason for the change lies in the fact that stocks of certain feeds in some sections of the country are low in vitamin A content this year, and need re inforcement. Another change made by the amended order exempts from the restrictions persons who mix feeds for their own poultry or animals. It has been found ad ministratively inadvisable to en force the restrictions of the or der on farmers who prepare their own feeds. Thereapeutic treatment of poultry and ani mals will also be facilitated by this exemption. $600,000 in Highway Bids Coming Up The state highway commis sion will consider bids for road projects totaling approximately $600,000 at a meeting to be held In Portland Thursday, R.

Olson a dogged race for the dem ocratic nomination in yester day's primary. Running on both tickets, Warren polled an aggre gate of nearly twice as many bal lots as Olsen who sought only the democratic nomination, Warren polled 178,619 votes In 7,750 out of 14,438 precincts in the democratic race for gov ernor while Olson got 226,545. On the republican ticket Warren drew 225,375 votes in 7,453 pre cincts. In one of South Carolina's closest primary contests, Sena tor Burnet R. Maybank, an ad ministration supporter, held i relatively close lead over Eugene S. Blcase, who campaigned as a champion of "white suprem acy," for the democratic nomina tion for U. S. senator. Mississippi's primary gave James O. Eastland, lawyer and planter, a 10,000 vote margin over his nearest opponent in the contest for the democratic sena torial nomination. His opponent in a primary run-off three weeks hence will be either Senator Wall Doxey or Rep. Ross Collins who were in a close battle for runner-up hon ors on the basis of unofficial and incomplete returns. The California primary re sults were termed by Warren "eloquent evidence that the peo ple " will not stand for an other four years of Olsonlsm." Olson asserted that conclusions based upon the ballot totals would be misleading and pre dicted a democratic victory in the election. Five congressmen whose vot ing records on defense and for eign policy drew campaign fire from opponents, took wide leads In their own party contests for rcnominations. They Included Representatives Tom Rolph, Hnrry L, Englebrighl, Albert Cnrter and Richard J. Welch, republicans, and John M. Tolan, democrat.

Today in the far southwestern Pacific among the Solomon is lands American and Japanese forces are locked in a great sea and air conflict which may go far towards determining wheth er. those stars and stripes shall continue to promise liberty. A Japanese victory might take the Nipponese a long way to wards achievement of their an nounced ambition of dictating peace in Washington. That would moan the transfer to our America of the torture chamber, the wholesale murders and rap ings, and. the insufferable mili taristic repression which exceeds even Hitlerism in its brutal ar rogance. This is indeed a fateful mo ment for us and our allies. Not only is the wheel of fortune whirring in the Orient, but over in the milling Russian theatre Herr Hitler Is throwing into the decisive battle of the Caucacus every ounce of striking power he possesses in an effort to make a kill. The position of the red armies is one of dire peril, though it isn't by any means hopeless. Hitler Main Concern In perhaps eight weeks or so that wheel of fortune will stop spinning and the little ball will drop to tell us what our luck may be. Our great concern, of course, is Hitler. He must be stopped before snow flies. If we can keep him away from fresh ! resources, and preserve the red fighting machine from destruc tion, then we shall have our grasp on sure victory, for we can handle the Japs once we have stopped Hitler. I Still, the Japanese and the ! Germans can't be considered as ! separate units at this juncture. The battle of the Caucasus and the battle of the Solomons are interlocked in their effect. We haven't yet enough facts about the engagement in the Pa cific to say that it will have de cisive effects. We don't know the size of the forces engaged, and that is essential to our calcula tions. However, from the meager in formation at hand it would ap pear that the Nipponese are gambling with a large section of their grand fleet. It also would seem that we have inflicted con siderable losses on the enemy, but there's no word of what our A . f 1 ' MaNMt) ItttlllllKWI A mtKtt tt im emit g? i liner Gripsholm plowed into the own losses if any have been If the Japs are risking a great naval fleet, besides air power, then we have in the conflict all the elements for a decision which may be a sure guide to the out come of the war with Japan. We appear to have the advantage of being able to meet the Jap anese warships with land-based bombers, and that (n itself might spell disaster for the Mikado's forces. If we can inflict on the Jap anese now a further heavy naval loss, without ourselves suffer ing severely, then we probably shall have settled the supremacy of the Pacific in our favor.
