The speaker was Dan W. Shausten, a representative of Salmon for All, Inc. His talk was given before a forum lunch eon arranged by the B e n d Chamber of Commerce. He accused proponents of the initiative of being vague about the effect of the measure should it be approved and charged them with circulating informa tion based largely on appeals to voters' emotions. Shausten noted that the only remaining commercial fishing permitted in the state is along a 135-mile stretch of the lower Columbia, and this "last rem nant," he said, would be wiped out under provisions of the in itiative proposal. Shausten denied that over fishing on the part of the com mercial fishing industry had de pleted salmon and steelhead Salinger bid legality eyed in California SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - Former White House Press Sec retary Pierre Salinger began his quest for a U. S. Senate seat to day under a shadow of doubt over the legality of his candi dacy. The cigar-chomping Salinger - submitted hi aetnlimthm papera in his native San francisco just two hours before the filing deadline Friday and then told a news conference his candidacy was a self-inspired "draft." "I could tell you that I have succumbed to the urging of my many friends," Salinger said with a smile. "But the truth is that this candidacy is a genuine draft a draft inspired by the candidate himself." Throws Out Challtnga Salinger also challenged his two principal Democratic oppo nents in the June primary to a debate. They are ailing incum bent Sen. Clair Engle and state Controller Alan wanston. The legal doubts over Salin ger's candidacy center on wnetner ne can meet me qual ifications set down on the fed eral and state constitution. Al though a native of California, Salinger last registered to vote in Virginia. The U. S. constitution requires only that a candidate for the Senate be an "inhabitant" of the state from which he is elect ed. State law requires the can didate be registered with his party for three months but does not specity mat sucn registra tion be in California. Decision Delayed A determination will not be made on the legal points until Salinger's nomination papers are forwarded to the secretary of state for certification. The state attorney general's office refused to comment on the is - sue. HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? There's only one sure way to determine how much insurance you need.

He noted official opposition to the initia tive by the State Fish Commis sion and recalled that testimony by that agency had emphasized availability of spawning areas as the key factor in the declin ing fish population. Factors Lilted Other factors listed by the speaker as having affected fish runs were dams, timber activ ity, water pollution, and in gen eral, "the encroachment of civ ilization." Shausten said the salmon in dustry feels it has many friends among sportsmen and takes the position that those who are pro moting the initiative measure represent "a relatively small minority of emotional people." He said that the industry he represents, last year had a wholesale value to the state of $5.2 million and employed 650 commercial fishermen and 1200 cannery employes. This indus try, he contended, would be lost to the state if voters approve the initiative measure. Move to Washington As a final point, Shausten said that should Oregon deny the Co lumbia to commercial fisher men, the industry will likely move over to Washington, where there is no such legislation. Therefore, he said, the measure would in the en ., result in no lessening of commercial activity on the Columbia, but would, in stead, bring loss of a major in dustry to the state. Jim Griggs, district fishery biologist for the State Game Commission, rose following Shausten's presentation to offer a partial rebuttal to several points made Dy tne speaiter. Among these were the position taken fey the Ssmte Oafnereoemj mission on the initiative mea sure and the question of wheth er spawning areas would oe overcrowded If commercial fish ing were prohibited, Prior to Shausten s talk, Chamber President R. G. Mc- Fariand introduced area politi cal candidates who had been In vited to attend the forum ses sion. These included Charles L.

Shepard, Gerald Mc Cann and Harry Skjersaa, coun ty commission; ana rorresi Scholes, county sheriff. Efforf made to free barge BANDON, Ore. (UPI) -Ef forts to free a lumber barge from its second perch on a Co quille River jetty were sched uled to continue near here to day. The 300-foot barge was pulled free of the south jetty at the mouth of the river Friday by the tug Salvage Chief from As toria, but it drifted across the bay and ran aground on the north jetty. The Salvage Chief had worked the craft loose after the chains were cut and one-third of its cargo of 4-million board feet of lumber was dumped to lighten lit. U.S. quizzes 2 defecting Cuban fliers MIAMI (UPI) - Authorities planned extensive questioning today of two Cuban air force pilots who commandeered a Russian-made helicopter, shot its pilot dead, and flew to the United States. The two defectors were brought here Friday night from Key West, along with the heli copter's 17-year-old gunner who asked to be returned to Cuba. The body of the pilot was tak en to a Key West funeral home. Cuban exiles here hailed the defection as the "most signifi cant" since the United States and Cuba broke diplomatic re lations in 1961 because it in volved the first active military men to flee from Fidel Castro's regime in that time. Could Have Impact Exile leaders felt the "psy chological impact" of the de fection upon Castro's armed forces could be "tremendous." The olive drab helicopter. blood-spattered inside and out and marked with bullet holes, flew into Key West Friday af ternoon. Startled bystanders saw the Negro gunner tumble from his compartment in the lower part of the aircraft and start to flee, apparently not sure what the men above planned for him. He stopped when he saw authori ties chasing him. The pilot of the Russian ma chine, who police investigators saw aiea instantly from tne blast of a "burp" pistol that left seven bullet holes in his bodv. was identified as Jose Arcadia Qarcw Hla body was slumped in the pilot's compart ment. The other three men were identified as Guillermo Santos, 20, the dead man's co pilot, gunner Sergio Rogue, 17, and Andres Izaguirre, 20, another pilot who dashed from bushes and jumped aboard the 'copter as the machine began lifting off from its base near Havana. Izaguirre and Santos, who was supposed to be flying a routine patrol mission in the helicopter, asked the 34-year-old Garcia, a former Castro guer rilla fighter, to fly to Florida. When he refused, the men tried to relieve him of an automatic pistol. Upon arrival, the defectors immediately asked U.S. author ities for asylum and were brought here after preliminary questioning in Key West. Mon roe County Sheriff Henry Has- kins said after hearing their story that no homicide charges would be filed against them. Vote on support bill next week i i r seems doubttui WASHINGTON (UPD-Dem- ocratic leaders apparently have given up hope of getting a House vote, next week on a Senate-passed price support bill for cotton and wheat. Also set aside for the time being is a related bill to ex pand nationwide an expenmen tal plan now in effect in 43 communities under which the needy can buy at a discount food 8 tamps that can be spent like cash in grocery stores. Failure of weekend negotia tions looking toward prompt action on one or both bills ap parently meant the House will start a 10-day Eastern recess Thursday without having acted on either measure.

William H. Ayres, it- Ohio, who was inducted into the Army as a private during World War II, said the Clay case suggests that it is time lo review the testing procedures for Army inductees. "Had I flunked math, I still could have peeled potatoes for the first two months of my Army service which I did," Ayres said. "Anybody that can throw a punch like Cassius ought to be able to throw a knife around a potatoe." Rep. Cornelius E. Gallagher, D-N.J.. said Clay should feel Insulted at having flunked. Gal lagher suggested that Clay ask for a waiver and the Congress man offered to "intercede" for Clay to obtain the waiver.
