Terming Mumford a "young priest on a fence," the maga zine, quoted by Radio Moscow, suggested "perhaps Stanley was not a theological faculty but has come here for practice.

Fishermen Rogue Log A petition from J. and S. Tim ber company, Gold Beach, to construct a log dump and a stiff boom 19 miles up the Rogue river from Gold Beach bridge has drawn opposition from state and national fish and wildlife interests. The petition was made early this year to the Army Corps of Engineers district office in Port land. A hearing on the application was held in Gold Beach, Feb. 27. Representatives of the Oregon State Game Commission, Izaak Walton League, and Oregon Wildlife Federation testified against towing and rafting logs on the river. According to the "Sport Fish ing Institute Bulletin," May is sue, they were told that "Only the subject of possible interfer ence with navigation was at is sue, and that the biology of Rogue river salmon and steel head had no bearing." The petition was granted. When the "Bulletin" reached outdoor organizations, protests gathered from those interested in the sport fishing values of the river. Public Hearing Called Last month, the Corps of En gineers called a public hearing on a proposed navigation regu lation governing dumping and rafting of logs. The hearing was held July 30 in Coos Bay. Before the engi neers now was the question of when log rafting and dumping should be allowed. The proposed navigation regulation that had been drawn up would limit . it to a period from Oct. 15 of each year to April 15 of the follow ing year. Fishing interests were dissat isfied. Opposition from the state game commission came in a statement read at the hearing. In part, it said: "The lower Rogue River is one of the most popular and best known salmon angling areas in the state. Approximately 31,500 angler days are spent on this stretch of river each year, and almost 11,000 fish are caught. "The dumping, booming and rafting of logs in the lower Rogue would be detrimental to both the fishery resource and to the small boat navigation neces sary to angling for them. Particularly at median to low flows, logs and log rafts scour gravel bars and riffles in the stream bed. These bars pro duce fish foods necessary for rearing young fish and provide spawning areas lor those fish utilizing the lower mainstem for spawning. This scouring reduces the food production and destroys eggs and young fish in the gravel and is thus detrimental to the fishery resource." Spend $1,300,000 The "Sport Fishing Institute Bulletin," said anglers spend $102 on the average for each salmon they take from the lower Rogue river. "In all it is known that they spent $1,300,000 fish ing for salmon alone on the lower Rogue in a single year." Jackson county voices were added to the growing chorus at the Coos Bay hearing. Hank DeVoss, president of the county chapter, Izaak Walton League, protested "any regulations al lowing the assembly of log rafts and their subsequent floating down the river." DeVoss said, in a statement read in Coos Bay, "Federal nav igational regulations such as pro posed, if put into effect, would rum that economy of the lower Rogue river which depends upon the tourist and sport fisherman. "The logging operations will in a short time change the lower part of this river from a beauti ful fishing and boatmg stream to one where the shores are un sightly, boating dangerous, and fishing neither a pleasure or practicable. "In time, the logging opera tions using the lower Rogue river might result in a ghost town at Gold Beach." Col. Paul H. Weiland, Med ford, sent a letter to the Army Engineers' office, which was read at the hearing. Weiland's Remarks Included in his remarks were the following: "An occasional raft might not cause much trou ble, but it appears there are no regulations contemplated as to how many rafts will be moved in a given period over any cer tain part of the river. Further, there apparently are no regula tions contemplated controlling the size of the rafts. The chances are pretty good that it will not take long until the channel is OAK KNOLL GOLF' COURSE East of Ashland Highway 66 NO monthly dues!

Professional Protest Rafting blocked for all navigation." Other similar statements of protest came before those pres ent at Coos Bay. Included were those from the Oregon Wildlife Federation, the National Wild life Management Institute, and the Wedderburn Resort Owners association. The hearing over, the district office of the Army Engineers sent results and recommenda tions to the Washington, D.C. headquarters. A decision from there is forthcoming. According to CoK Weiland, sport fishing interests do' not ex pect a complete ban on log raft ing, although such would not be undesirable as far as fishermen are concerned. But it is hoped that the Army Engineers will impose "strin gent regulations" strict enough to allow minimum interference, one with the other, between fishing and logging interests. Two Personalities Added to List Subpoenaed in Magazine Trial Hollywood (IPt Orchestra Leader Charlie Barney and Singer Herb Jeffries Saturday weere added to the list of Holly wood personalities subpoenaed in the criminal libel trial of two scandal magazines. Private Detective Fred Otash said he handed the two enter tainers subpoenas on behalf of the defense Friday night in separate nightclubs. The defense seeks to prove the "truth" of scandal stories carried in Con fidential and Whisper maga zines. Otash said he. still had sub poenas for about 18 other film land figures, some of them the "biggest names" in the industry. Meanwhile, the prosecution pre pared to hammer home its con tention of malice in the trial. The former editor, Howard Rushmore, New York, yesterday admitted that he was "proud" he wrote some of the stories on Hollywood stars and declared "I certainly did," when asked if he had ever written any story to injure anyone. Counter-Attack In an attempted counter-attack Defense Attorney Arthur J. Crowley said he had asked Superior Judge t Herbert V. Walker to rule Monday on state ments about stories other than those mentioned in the suit would be admissible as evidence in the case. 7 Crowley has indicated that his defense would center on proving Marines Stage Big Invasion Maneuver Barking Sands, Kauai, T.H. (IF The biggest Marine helicopter invasion maneuver staged by the U.S. Marine Corps got under way here Saturday. A spokesman for the Fleet Ma rine Force, Pacific, reported 12, 000 sailors and Marines were en gaged in the training maneuver. The exercise calls for an in vading force utilizing the latest "atomic tactics." Twenty-two Navy assault ships, including the USS Thetis Bay, the Navy's only helicopter assault carrier, were to partici pate in the exercise. Marines from California's Camp Pendleton and Hawaii's Kaneohe Marine Air statidn were the primary forces to be employed, the spokesman said. Novelly Firm to Enter Plea on Charge Panorama City, Calif. W) The president of a novelty pack aging firm has been ordered to enter a plea in federal court Monday on charges of paying children employees wages in hamburgers and trinkets. The U.S. department of labor Friday charged the firm, which the department said employed 50 children between 9 and 15 years old, with failure to pay $1 an hour minimum wages, falsifying payroll records and shipping goods produced by op pressive child labor across state lines. The federal department said the company set a limit of one hamburger for each child when young employees began to order three or four at a meal.

Refuses Extradition The ex-editor said his "chief source in Hollywood" was Fran cesca de Scaffa, former wife of actor Bruce Cabot. She was in dicted by the grand jury earlier, but refused to be extradited from Mexico City. Rushmore said Miss de Scafa one said she could get stories "even if I have to have an affair with the man involved." He said Confidential Publish er Robert Harrison had once given him a list of sources for stories which included party girl Ronnie Quillan. About Miss Quillan, Rush more said Harrison "told me she was a madam I told Harrison I thought it was highly danger ous to the magazine to use her and we could get in a lot of THIS MONTH ONLY ON ALL FORDS and KVIERCURYS 15,000 Mile Fordomatic and Mercomalic Transmission Service YOU'LL GET BACK THAT HEW CM CRATER Main & Fir Sts.

He said Harrison explained to him that he wanted the magazine to be "unique in the field of journalism to tell the stories that other news papers and magazines would not print." "He (Harrison) said he wanted to expose injustices in govern ment, to expose products harm ful to the public and. to print the antics of well-known people that Hollywood columnists re fuse to print," the ex-editor said. Rushmore said that later Har rison told him "he thought the stories were too tame, and that he needed stories that would make readers whistle and say 'we never knew that before." " Rushmore, who is also an admitted ex-Communist and one time Daily Worker employee, said he was an. investigator for the late Sen.
