WaKonians Approve ay IO)am; dDppose Blaiitelt GDeer Season Medford&iTribuni A John Day Dam on the Columbia river was approved and a blanket either sax deer season in eastern Oregon was opposed yesterday by directors of the Oregon division of the Izaak Walton League of Ameri ca in resolutions passed at their quarterly conference at the Jackson hotel here. They also voted to stand be hind Division President Dan P. Allen, Eugene, for taking U. S. Senator Richard Neuberger to task ,for his "inconstistency" in supporting appropriations for a start of Ice Harbor dam on the lower Snake river. Any appropriation for expan sion of a guided missile range at Ft. Sill, Okla.,' which will cut Into the Wichita wildlife reser vation was also opposed by the directors. Some 20 state officers and di rectors gave unanimous support to the John Day proposal on the basis that power is needed and that such a dam will alleviate necessity of dams on other streams which have sports and recreational values. Deer Season 'The either sex deer season resolution passed by t a scant majority of one vote. Those sup porting the issue said they doubt ed the advisability of a blanket order for an area as large as the eastern portion of the state involved. The deer proposal was set up in tentative hunting regu lations made by the State Game commission. The John Day resolution will go to the Oregon congressional delegation and to federal and state agencies concerned and the Ft. Sill stand will be presented to the House appropriations com mittee. The deer matter will be taken before the Game commis sion. Senator Neuberger in a news release from Washington, D. C, last week declared that a letter from Allen was "abusive." The letter matter came up at morn ing discussion at which the Izaak Waltonian opposition to Ice Harbor was reiterated. Allen said that his missive, making clear the position of the league on dams in the Columbia basin, was not intended to be abusive when he wrote it. Directors pas sed a motion expressing confi dence in their president. Waltonians oppose Ice Harbor and three other dams proposed on the lower Snake river be cause they .feel that they are not justified economically and may destroy the fishing industry. Dr. David B. Charlton, Port land, principal participant in the morning discussion of dam is sues, pointed, on the other hand, to the previously mentioned rea sons for support of a John Day project, no matter who builds it. "The John Day dam will have to be built and we might just as well like it," the IWL national executive board member told di retcors. Not Against Dams Charlton declared that Wal tonians are not against all dams, as is sometimes represented. He remarked that Ice Harbor oppo sition "is not just a fisherman's screwy attitude" and said that there are others, including state officials, businessmen and news papermen, who feel that the low er Snake dam proposals are like ly to be more harm than good. It's never been possible to maintain a significant run of sal mon over a dam 100 feet high, Dr. Charlton stated. Losses suf fered in salmon would be signifi cant if four lower Snake dams are built, he maintained, adding the opinion that chances in get ting a run over the dams practi cally would be nil. It is felt, he said, that other dams could be built up the river first. Red Hat Day The directors also heard re ports from sponsors of the new Save Oregon's Salmon initiative and on plans for Red Hat day in Oregdfa on Sept. 23. Committee men spoke on wildilfe, anti litterbug, conservation education and membership projeets of the division. The National Park service re port on recreational resources in the Rogue river basin was also brought to attention of directors. This study was compiled in con nection with the Bureau of Rec lamation's plan for development of water resources of the basin. It is indicated that the bureau plan is no longer under consid eration of the Department of Interior. L. L. Simpson was speaker last night at the dinner which wound up yesterday's day-long meeting. Visiting Waltonians were guests at an outdoormen's breakfast at TouVelle park this morning. Save Oregon's baimon pre sentation was made by Howard Hadley, Albany, state chairman of SOS, Inc., and Bob Urban, Corvallis, SOS secretary. Nets. Seines Unlawful - The proposed initiative, re written since its defeat by voters in 1954, would make it unlawful to take, catch, or fish for salmon or steelhead with nets, seines or any other method except with hook and line in waters of any stream or river which empties into the Pacific ocean in Oregon south of the mouth of the Col umbia river. - Constitutionality of the rriea sure was an issue in the 1954 election. Latest draft of the bill is being passed through channels of state agencies in effort to stop this argument. The proposed measure has been sent around the state to interested parties for their comment and approval, the chairman reported. Hadley termed the SOS prop osition a good one but admitted that it was poorly worded when previously presented to the vo ters. Since defeat of the measure, "influential people" have ap proached him agreeing . that small commercial streams must be closed to commercial netting, Hadley stated. He said that these people feel that taking nets out of streams will be of actual fi nancial benefit to Oregon, that property values will increase in areas involved and that there will not be enough facilities to , take care of sports fishermen. Salmon Runs Figures presented by Urban brought out that less than one third as many salmon were caught in the affected streams in 1952 as were caught 15 years before. He listed an annual aver age catch of 3,719,995 pounds in 1935-1939 compared to 1,233,434 in 1952. Catches for only Sep tember, October and November were considered. Urban mentioned also the de clines on the Rogue and Umpqua rivers before commercial fish ing was halted. He cited the im provement in the Umpqua, say ing it is a proven fact salmon runs have come back in 10 years. The SOS secretary questioned whether a 48-hour closures per week and the fish commission's nuota svstem means much in keeDine salmon runs in the riv ers. He pointed to natural spawning as the apparent an swer in maintaining and increas ing the salmon runs and indica ted propagation of salmon in hatcheries as "nothing more than supplemental." Promote Sportsmanship L. C. (Jack) Binford, Portland Waltonian in outlining the Red Hat Day project, said that people working with the plan are con vinced that it is the answer to public relations between the sportsmen and others. Binford is chairman of Governor Patter son's committee for Red Hat day. He mentioned the nationwide attention, including entry in the Congressional Record, of the pro ject which germinated in the Portland IWL chapter as a gim mick to promote better sports manship practices. ' Hunters will have the oppor tunity to sign pledges and will receive buttons. In the pledge they will vow "to be law abid ing, to respect the rights and property of others and to be careful with fire and firearms." Others here for the committee meeting included William W. Huber, Portland, membership chairman of the divission; Wil liam Niskanen, Bend, wildlife chairman and national board member; Karl Onthank, Eugene, secretary of the division, and Leighton Whitsett, Salem, treasurer.

SETS NEW MARK Oslo U.R) Pentti Karvonen of Finland set a 3,000 meter steeplechase record of 8:45.4 Sunday. July 17, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRTBUNE BUYS Lewistonc, Eugene Split In NW Play By UNITED PRESS Eugene and Lewiston got no where in their battle for the top spot in the Northwest league Friday night. " , Eugene took the seven inning opener 6-3 with a 12-hit attack of two Lewiston hurlers which in cluded homers by Granny. Glad stone and Bob. Thompson. Mac Schmidt of . Lewiston homered in the fourth with one aboard but Frank Chase held on to post his eleventh victory Jim Benton tamed Eugene in the second game scattering sev en hits and fanning six for a 12-2 victory.

The Bears got seven runs in the eighth on seven hits, three Salem errors and one walk. Salem committed seven errors to make things eas ier for the Bearse Friday at the Bislet Olympic Stadium. Karvonen held the former mark of 8:47.8. Change-up And Curve Result In Better Hurling For Buhl By RUSS GREE Philadelphia U.R) A change-up which became a money pitch and a curve ball that rippled through the strike zone are Bob Buhl's two big reasons for his change-about sea son with the Milwaukee Braves. The tweet slinging righthand er has a 7-7 record for the sea son, not gaudy, but a vivid con trast to his 2-7 record of a year ago. But Buhl, whose season has been highlighted by a nine strikeout shutout over Brook lyn, and 12 strikeouts in one game against the Philadelphia Phillies, is satisfied. His 12 strikeouts against the Phils is the Braves best single same ,mark, and his 74 strikeout tr tal is topped only by Gene Conley. . Primarily a fast bailer, Buhl is giving his change-up the big billing in his rejuvention, and has the added comfort that he also is getting his curve ball over. Add these to his live fast one, and he's well equipped. "The ' change-up is the big pitch," Buhl chuckled. "I threw it seven or eight times against the Phils and it got me out of a jam every time. "On top of that, thefe were a couple of times I got behind, and I went for the curve. It zipped in, and believe me, you feel a lot better when you can call on it" Buhl admits his pitching Im proved this year as a result of his lay-off from winter balL Two seasons back, he had a 13-8 rec ord and then last year plummet' ed to a mere two victories.
