Hearing on ISilD To Outlaw FdsDh ieirboes iraws r: Big Crowd
IE
Derby Sponsors
Challenge Claim
Of Destruction
By BILL FORCE
United Press Correspondent
Salem U.R) An attempt , to
outlaw the big business of fish
derbies in Oregon attracted a
capacity crowd to a statehouse
hearing room here last night, in
cluding members of the fisher
ies committees of the Washing
ton Legislature.
Spokesmen from half a dozen
Oregon communities which each
year sponsor well-patronized
fish contests known as derbies
appeared before the House Fish
and Game Committee to oppose
a bill that would outlaw such
competition as destructive of
fish.
Proponents Challenged
They challenged proponents
of the measure to prove that
derbies had any effect on fish
resources and they contended
the number of fish taken in the
contests was insignificant in
comparison with the numbers of
the same species of fish taken by
. the ton by commercial fisher
men. Rep. Robert Elfstrom (R-
Salem), who sponsored the bill
along with Rep. John Amacher
(R-Roseburg), said the measure
was a conservation move to re
lieve the mounting pressure on
available fish supplies. He said
the numbers of fishermen were
increasing annually without the
added incentive of competition
end prizes. His position was
supported officially by both the
state fish and game commis
sions. Would Support Bill
Geprge Fulton-of the . Astoria
Regatta Association, sponsor of
the famed Astoria salmon derby,
declared his organization would
support the bill if it were not
made effective until a similar
prohibition was passed by the
state of Washington. A ban in
Oregon would be meaningless
on the Columbia, he said, unless
1 Washington derbies were also
stopped.
C. B. McCorkle of the Port
land Fishing and Hunting News
told the committee that if there
was any real danger to conser
vation of fish resources, the fish
and game commissions would
have shortened fishing seasons
and reduced limits. On the con
trary," he said, limits of steel
head and salmon actually had
been increased.
Washington visitors gave no
indication what move Washing
ton.. might make regarding
derbies but promised close co
operation. Vrv

cate renewal between Medford
and Klamath Falls are slated to
be brought before the Civil
Aeronautics Board on March 1,
it was . announced yesterday in
Klamath Falls.
K. C. Jones, special assistant
to the UAL .president, met
Wednesday with Klamath Falls
city and chamber of commerce
officials to outline his firm's
plans. Jones said the traffic
available at Klamath Falls is
not sufficient to economically
sustain two airlines and there
fore the company will apply to
the CAB for elimination of
Klamath Falls from its certifi
cate of convenience and neces
sity. Jones declared that an im
portant factor in UAL's decision
to request elimination of the
Klamath Falls stop , was denial
by the CAB of United's request
to operate over a route between
Klamath Falls and Medford.
The route was given to West
Coast Airlines and United
planes do not operate between
the two cities.
He added that, in United's
opinion, if West Coast were al
lowed to become the sole car
rier of traffic at Klamath Falls,
it could result in greater fre
quency of service on more
economical operation by the
local service carrier.
United will present, simul
taneously with its request for
withdrawal from Klamath Falls,
a motion to consolidate that re
quest for hearing with the cur
rent West Coast Airlines re
newal case, already before the
CAB.
Both the city of Klamath
West Coast for renewal on a
permanent or further tempor
ary basis of its certificate of
public convenience and neces
sity. "
If West Coast's . request is
granted, it will continue traffic
between Medford and Klamath
Falls. Some arrangements would
be made for service between
Klamath Falls and Bend, Red
mond and Portland, and it is
also expected that an attempt
will be made by Klamath Falls
city officials to bring South
West Airlines to Klamath Falls
for traffic between that city
and California points. '
