Washington, D. C, June 3.
Wholesale changes In the handl
ing of the salmon and steelhead
runs in the Willamette river and
its tributaries will be necessary
with proposed high dams In the
North and South Santiam, the
McKenzie and the Middle Fork
of the Willamette, and when the
Willamette Valley project event
ually installs power plants below
these dams "it should be recog
nized that the ultimate project
would cause the preservation of
the runs of salmon and steelhead
to be a highly expensive and per
haps hazardous undertaking
Also, It would remove much of
the trout rearing and fishing
areas on the three streams af
fected." Such Is the summary of a re
port just complete by Joseph A.
Craig, associate aquatic biologist
of the U. S. bureau of fisheries.
The report is enough to inflame
sportsmen, commercial fisher
men and anti-stream pollution
advocates into a controversy.
rR. CRAIG says the artificial!
U nrnnasation program of the
Oregon State Fish Commission
Is fairly successful. The commis
sion has egg-taking stations and
hatcheries on the streams in
volved. The three dams will be
too high for fish ladders and
mechanical lifts will be too cost
ly. The stations of the state
commission arc all located above
the proposed dams and these
must all be relocated down
stream, below the dams.
There is a responsibility of
the federal government to assist
In the artificial propagation con
ducted by the state and, if the
ntnte should relinquish its activ
ity, there is an obligation for the
federal government to take over
nri maintain the stations and
hatcheries inasmuch as the Wil
lamette project, a government
undertaking, is Interfering with
the migratory fish.
SuffBestion is made in the re-
nnrt that the Oregon State Fish
Commission, the United States
army engineers in charge of the
nrol'eft: the U. S. bureau of fish
eries have a conference on the
problem.
BUT there will be a substantial
loss to SDort fishing, aside
from what happens to the com
mercial fish. The dams will in-

45 Killed, 149 Hurt,
'Dud' Lights Within
6 Feet of Wm. Bullitt
Br tha Associated Press
A roaring swarm of between 250 and 300 German warplanes
aombed the Paris area today, killing 45, wounded 149, setting
great fires and smashing buildings in an hour-long raid.
The high-flying Nazi raiders let go approximately 1.050 bombs.
A "dud" struck within six feet of U. S. Ambassador William C.
Bullitt.
Four schools in Paris and four ,
others in the suburbs were hit,
with casualties, it was officially
announced.
An American was reported
among those killed. 1
British Return Visit
Simultaneously the British air
ministry reported formations of j
British bombers attacked enemy

objectives in northwest Ger

tack signalled the opening phase
of warfare such as France has
never known. '
While Paris dispatches said
the bombs fell in the heart of i
the French capital as well as on
the outskirts, Berlin reported
that the German raid centered j
on the Paris airdrome and other
military targets in the Paris 1
region. 1
It was the first air-raid alarm '
since May 21
Streets were ripped up and
littered with twisted steel, bro- j
ken tiles, stones and rubble.
Suburbs Fired
Great columns of black smoke
rose from outlying districts
where the main force of the
German attack apparently was
ieit. The crash of bombs was
heard all over the capital, sud
denly roused to alarm from the
lethargy of a bright June day.
Anti-aircraft batteries and
machineguns on rooftops blazed
away at the sky raiders, and
French fighting planes roared
into the air in droves to meet
the invaders.
Red Cross and police cars
dashed through the streets as
civilians scurried to air raid
shelters. Explosions rattled win
dows in the heart of the city, but
there was no immediate estimate
of the damage. The all-clear
signal was not given until an
hour later.
Capture of 330.000 British
and French prisoners in the
bloody battle of Flanders was
icported by the German high
command, which said Nazi
troops closing in on the allies'

seized the strongly-fortified city
of Gergues, only five miles
away.

Growers League and Cham
ber of Commerce Will Get
Data From Other Areas
Formed for the primary pur
pose of keeping growers inform
ed to avert selling at lower
prices than necessary, the Bart
lett pear committee of the Fruit
Growers League announced
after Its first meeting today that
the "general feeling relative to
the Bartlett deal is on the opti
mistic side."
Simultaneously the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce
announced it was organizing a
committee to work with cherry
growers so that they would not
be persuaded to sell at prices
lower than those being paid else
where.
To Keep Clot Touch
After the pear committee
meeting. Dr. George B. Dean
chairman, said the committee
would keep in close touch with
all the other west coast districts
and exchange with them in
formation regarding tht size of
crops and prices. This Inform a-
tlon will be passed on here to
all Bartlett growers. Dr. Dean
related, adding that a bulletin
board containing this Informa
tion would be set up at the
chamber of commerce and perti
nent facts posted daily.
California, and Yakima, Wash.,
growers are organized, Wenat
chee growers are organizing and
Hood River Bartletts are In
strong hands. Dr. Dean asserted
in emphasizing the need of grow
ers working In close association.
Advis Waiting
"We urge all Medford growers
to wait until prices are set In
the Santa Clara district and to
visit the chamber of commerce
to get up-to-the-minute informa
tion before selling," Dr. Dean
said after the committee meet
ing. "All districts are urging
growers to refuse open-price con
tracts." Present estimates, Dr. Dean
stated, put the crop for the en
tire west coast at 86 per cent of
last year's production.
As an example of what can
be accomplished through an in
telligent, united attitude, ur.
Dean said that the Santa Clara
district apricot crop was 30 per
cent of last year's output and
that canners were buying the
apricots at $60 to $70 ton as
against $32.50 a year ago. In the
same district, he continued, can
ners are offering 7V4 cent! for
Royal Anne cherries while the
grower! are asking o cents.
The Sacramento district is
planning on shipping Bartletts
to the fresh fruit markets, rather
than dealing with canneries be
cause of the short crop of pears
and also the short crop of com
peting southern peaches, Dr.
Dean asserted.
Serving on the committee with
Dr. Dean are Charles A. Wing
and Moor Hamilton.
