The stream clearance work opened up more than 70 miles of ad ditional spawning territory for salmon, steelhead, and trout. . In addition to the log jams removed, eight old beaver dams were cleared so fish could pass, a rock falls which held up migrating fish was blasted out, an old mill dam which completely blocked fish migrations was removed, and two stream channels choked with large boulders were cleared. Excellent cooperation was received from the lumber in dustry and other agencies, the commission said, in keeping or clearing streams of log jams and other debris to allow mi grating fish free access to the spawing grounds. Without such cooperation, the excel lent headway made in stream improvement work would not have been possible. Mention Given Mentioning out just a few, the commission pointed out the clearance work of the Gil more brothers, contractors for Pope and Talbot Lumber com pany, who removed a tremen dous log jam almost one fourth mile in length from the Molalla river. The Harris Lumber company in the same vicinity removed several log jams and debris from Milk creek, tributary of the Molal la. Along the coast, Georgia Pacific sent a crew into Mill creek, tributary of the Siletz, and cleared all jams and de bris so steelhead and silver salmon could reach upstream spawning gravel. Most of the stream improve ment work took place on spawning tributaries of costal streams although some work was required in Hood River and Clackamas counties. On several coastal streams the fish commission and game commission collaborated in re moving fish stopping block ades. Probably the largest job completed during the year by the game commission was the removal of 53 log jams from Elk, Peterson and Sleezer creeks, important spawning tributaries of the Smith river in Douglas county.

The House anti-trust sub committee approved a "middle-of-the-road" bill to place business aspects of pro fesisonal baseball, football, basketball and hockey under anti-trust regulations. But the members, all law yers, differed sharply over the exact language of the bill. They argued about two key words "reasonably neces sary" and their effects. Members said that whether the words remain in the bill would make a vast difference in the results the legislation would have on the sports world. Heated Debate Likely It looked like a cinch that the language would provoke heated debate when the bill comes up against its next hurdle on Capitol Hill, the House judiciary committee, i The measure stems from a legal turmoil over whether pro sports are subject to the Baseballers Will Pick All-Stars By UNITED PRESS Major league ball players reacted favorably today to a new all-star vote plan that puts them on the spot and the fans in the role of "sec-ond-guessers." Gabe Paul, general man ager of the Cincinnati Red legs, predicted the 'vote even tually "will be returned to the fans" but others were unanimously in favor of Com missioner Ford Frick's deci sion. Frick announced Thurs day that the 1958 all-star teams will be picked by a poll of managers, coaches and players because of the "farce" created in last year's fan bal loting. "It's my opinion, after the new plan receives a thorough trial, the results will require the devising of a method to return the selections to the fans," said Paul. "I'm sorry to see the game taken away from the fans ... it belongs to them. , Praise Quickly Bobby Bragan, manager of the Cleveland Indians, and Pittsburgh Pirate manager Danny Murtaugh, were quick with praise. "It's a good system," Bra gan said flatly. "If anybody can make a just selection for a valid All-Star team it should be done that way. I think the public would probably recog nize the quality will be there." "It'll result in stronger line-ups," commented Mur taugh. "The National League, always wants to win that game real bad. That's why the players will vote for the strongest possible team to rep resent them." Red Skelton's Son Returns To Hospital Los Angeles (IP) Red haired Richard Skelton, leu kemia stricken son of come dian Red Skelton, was back in the UCLA Medical center today for treatment. The boy's famous father, who suffered a nearly fatal asthmatic attack Dec. 30. said Thursday Richard had" suf fered a relapse but was ex pected ta be released from the hospital next week. "His right leg and knee have been affected by the dis ease," said the elder Skelton. "His right foot is terribly dis colored, as if from a bruise." Richard was stricken with leukemia two years ago and has been in and out of the UCLA hospital several times since. He went to Europe last summer with his family. SAVE Necessary1 Anti-Trust same anti-trust laws which an- ply to big business. In 1953 the Supreme Court ruled that baseball was exempt from the laws. But last year it held that football came under the stat utes, and implied that hockey and basketball did, too. After long hearings on the matter last year, the House judiciary subcommittee Thursday came up with a bill aimed at straightening out the situation. It would make anti-trust laws apply to commercial as pects of professional baseball, football, basketball and hockey for example, owner ship of parks, or interest in several teams in the same league. Bill Makes Exceptions But the bill would specific ally exempt activities which are "reasonably necessary" to the equalization of teams in a league, the guarantee of terri torial franchises and the pre servation of public confidence in the honesty of sports con tests. Here is where the argu ment arises: Whether to re quire sports to show that these activities are "reason ably necessary" to the three aims. As stated in the bill, or simply "relating to" them, as proposed in an amendment by Rep. Kenneth B. Keating (R N.Y.). Rep. Emanuel Celler (D N.Y.), chairman of both the subcommittee and the full Judiciary Committee, said the exemption as drawn was aimed at permitting sports to continue their player reserve clauses, player drafts, farm systems, and other activities which might otherwise be ruled "trade restraints." "But Keating, senior Re publican on the subcommittee and the full committee, served notice he will try to change the words reasonably neces sary" when the Judiciary Committee takes up the bill later. If the phrase is left in, Keat ing said, it would "invite" players and others to file law suits to challenge every sports agreement or practice as not! being "reasonably necessary."
