The Coliseum commission met to day in special sessions which could finally give the Los Angeles Dodgers a big laegue sized place in which to play baseball. The commision's baseball committee will present to a meeting of the other major users of the Coliseum the Los Angeles Rams and USC and UCLA a new proposal given the commission by Dodger President Walter O' Malley Tuesday. Commission Chairman Bur ton W. Chase declared after O'Malley's proposal that "we are much closer than at any time before ... it seems to me you have a plan that would not disrupt the foot ball program in the Coli seum." The proposal, if acceptable to the commission and the other Coliseum users, could result in the Dodgers using the 100,000-seat stadium as a temporaiy home instead of minor league sized Wrigley field.

The match had been billed as the second in a series of eliminations among six con tenders to fill the crown Car men Basilio shed when he be came middleweight champion. But only last Saturday, the NBA gave it the stature of a title semi-final bout, tempor arily by-passing Virgil Akins of St. Louis and George Barnes of Australia, two of the boxers named for the tournament by the World Box ing committee. The NBA action immediate ly drew the wra'th of Julius Helfand, World Boxing com mittee chairman and also head of the New York state athletic commission. Helfand said the NBA was a party to the original agree ment and "no one will be recognized as the new world welterweight champion until the tournament has been com pleted."

Waltonians Support Late Trout Opening Jackson county chapter of the Izaak Walton league went on record Monday in support of the Oregon state game com mission's tentative plan to open trout fishing season for the Rogue river and its tribu taries a month later than usual. A motion passed by mem bers at their monthly meeting commended commissioners for their stand and expressed fa vor of the chapter toward pro posed May 24 opening of Rogue and Umpqua river sys tems and of coastal streams in zone 1. General trout season opening date in Oregon is Ap ril 26, according to tentative rules formulated by the com mission. Final negotiations will be set following a Jan. 24 hear ing in Portland. Commissioners took the ac tion concerning Rogue Ump qua and zone 1 streams to per mit greater downstream mi gration and escapement to the ocean of yearling salmon and steelhead. Staff men proposed the later opening because of the decreasing resources, par ticularly summer-run steel head in the face of increasing angling pressure.

The, senator stressed that only a small group in the legislature has understanding on the conservation matter. He advised Waltonians to make a conscious effort to make peo ple not close to their organiza tion acquainted with it and said that they should have the various legislators attend meetings of the IWL chapters in the state. Kenneth G. Denman, state game commission chairman and member of the Jackson chapter, spoke concerning the history of sportsmen organiza- tions in the county and the work individuals and sports groups have done in preserv ing the Rogue river fishery. His talk was in observance of the '34th anniversary of the IWL. Charter members of the local chapter also were intro duced at the meeting. Talent Project Advocated The fact that Waltonians were among organizations ad vocating the current develop ment known as t h e Talent project during the 1948 hear ings on Rogue basin develop ment was brought out by Den man. The league opposed plan A calling for a high Rogue dam. Denman also praised the work of Col. Paul Weiland, state Waltonian vice president and state director from the local chapter, for his efforts on chapter projects, particu larly his work in getting Sav age Rapids dam screening. The game commissioner, be fore his talk, brought up the issue of late trout season open ing on the Rogue. It was after this report that the chapter took its stand. Lowry indicated that he will "take a long hard look" at Rogue basin development from the angle of the pollution mat ter, weighing the benefits and values of industrial expansion against what detrimental ef fects such development might have on the valley as a place to live.
