(JFi The stato game commission sustained to day Its provlous action opening tho mule deer reserve In Lake and Klam ath counties for hunting during the season of Sept. 20-Oct. 25. The commission's stand was review ed upon a vote to reconsider after a petition carrying several hundred sig nature's was received from Klamath Falls. On the recommendation of two game experts, Stanley O. Jcwett of the U. S. biological survey, nd Ar thur Einarson of Oregon State col lege, the commission decided to go ahead with its original plan. Jewett and Einarson said that hunting In the preserve would scatter the bands of deer and relieve concentration on winter feeding grounds in the lava beds of northern California. Fear was expressed that unless something was done to relieve the concentration there might be a rep etition of the crisis confronting thn commission In the Murderer's creek area of Orant county, where thou sands of deer face starvation for lack of winter feed. The commission said the action was effective only for this year and that If the condition did not recur It would close the preserve in sub sequent years. PORTLAND, Aug. 13.-(AP)-De hunters who shoot every time the brush wiggles may be eliminated from Oregon forests If the game commission's contemplated bill t poesed by the legislature. The proposed law would perma nently revoke the license of any , n,.nrf a,iitv of manslaughter or of wounding a fellow hunter by careless use of firearms. backWmi Closing time for Too Late to Clas sic; Ads Is 1:30 p. m.
