Three other schools shared remaining statistical leads. Oregon was tops in field goal percentage and rebounding, Stanford in free throws and Southern California in field defense. In nine PCC games played through last Saturday, Idaho had scored 242 field goals and 154 free throws for a total of 638 points an average of 70.9 a game. UCLA was second in total scoring with 65.5, followed by SC, 65.1; Oregon State, bz.a; Oregon 61.2; Stanford, 55.7; Blue Devils Take Over Lead in ACC By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer Harold Bradley of Duke, like Frank McGuire of North Carolina, is a "Yankee" bas ketball coach who believes in blending homegrown talent , with northern imports. And that's probably the big gest reason why the Blue Devils were sitting on top of the tough Atlantic Coast con ference today boldly daring such top-ranked powers as Maryland, North Carolina State and McGuire's defend ing champion Tarheels to knock them off their perch. Led by Paul Schmidt of Johnstown, Pa., Bob Vernon of Riverside, N.J., and Bucky Allen of Durham, N.C., Duke raced to a 65-48 victory over North Carolina State Tuesday night on the Wolfpack court It was the Blue Devils' eighth straight victory and moved them into the ACC lead with an 8-2 record while the Wolf- pack dropped into second place with a 9-3 mark. Bradley, who coached at little Hartwick college in One onta, N.Y., before taking over at Duke eight years ago, promised before the start of the current season that the Blue Devils would be "great ly improved." It appeared! Bradley's prediction would backfire on him when Duke lost five of its first 10 games, but then the Blue Devils started to roll. North Carolina remained In the ACC chase by rallying for a 73-66 triumph over Virginia. The Cavaliers held a 66-65 lead with about two minutes remaining but the- McGuire men then ran off eight straight points to win going away. Pete Brennan led the Tarheels with 23 points. Washington State 55.2; Wash ington, 53.6, and California 53.3. In total defense, California has allowed opponents but 48.3 points in eight confer ence games, compared to 56.1 for Oregon State, 56.3 for Washington, 62.0 for Southern California. 62.1 for Stanford and 62.1 for UCLA. Beavers Head The statistics disclosed Ore gon State had made 38.9 per cent of 532 field goal attempts to 36.9 for Idaho. 36.4 for Southern Cal and 36.2 for Stanford.

Bruno Slime on Columbia Draws Complaints Portland (IT) Commer cial fishermen on the Colum bia river complained today of heavy dark slime which nhey said has bothered them since opening of the , Febru ary season. Complaints have been fil ed with the Oregon Sanitary Commission and the U. S. Public Health Service. Sanitary engineers said that most of the slimy growth ap pears to be originating on the Washington side of the river. However, John Wilson, biolo gist of the Public Health ser vice, said he would hesitate to pinpoint source of the slime. He said a bacterial or ganism called Sphaerotilus exists in the cleanest of water and becomes a nuisance when it contacts acid. He said that so far as has been determined it is not poisonous to fish. Fishermen complain because it clogs their gear. i Five Persons Die As Bomber Rams Concrete Building Rapid City, S. D. (IP) Five persons were Killed ana six others injured late Tuesday when a B52 jet bomber ram med through a concrete build ing while landing in a snow squall at Ellsworth Air Force Base. Killed were two of the eight airmen aboard the demolish ed $8 million plane and all three men in the small instru ment landing building. The survivors were treated for minor injuries. Snapped Power Lin Witnesses said the giant plane, the nation's costliest bomber, hit and snapped a power line as it lumbered in through the snow for a landing- It skidded 50 yards down the runway, smashed through the 10-by-l 0-foot building sending concrete blocks fly ing over the airfield, and then plowed another 100 yards be fore stopping.' Six crewmen leaped from the bomber seconds before it burst into flame. It was not known if the dead airmen were killed on impact or trap ped and burned to death in the fire. Didn't See Plana The two airmen and one civilian inside the landing building "probably never knew what hit them because there were no windows in the building, just solid concrete," an Air Force spokesman said. The dead plane crewmen were 1st Lt. Kenneth B. Kaep Dler. Milwaukee, Wis., and Capt.' John O. Connell, Chat tanooga, Tenn. The victims in side the building were Glen M. Allen. Rapid City: Airman 1C James E. Ferrell, Willis- ton, S.D., and Airman 1C Ronald R. Mitchell, Canton, Ohio. Cause of the crash was not immediately known. A base spokesman said tne snow was not a factor. Michiean ranks first in the nation in the production of red tart cherries, cucumber pickles, red clover seed and gladiola bulbs. Green Cedar SlifflttOOD HAND PICKED BIG DOUBLE LOAD flp0 EAGLE FUEL CO. Union Heating Oils Phone TA 6-4081 The session is set for 1 p.m. and is tentatively scheduled for the first floor conference room of the county courthouse annex. Waltonians at their Mon day session at the Jackson hotel held general discussion concerning subjects listed on the committee agenda and heard reports from Charles Shepard and Cole - Rivers, state game commission field agents, and Carl Schuppenies, bureau of reclamation resi dent engineer. Members of the Jackson chapter were informed that the interim committee, in studying the wishes of the people, seeks to determine if the fish commission and game commission' should be com bined in one authority, to de termine if laws and regula tions are adequate for use of fish resources and to deter mine how game birds and big game can be increased for the best interests of the state and how they can be con- erved . No Stand Yet The legislators also will in quire on the general topic of subjects of local and state in terest." No " formal action on the foregoing issues was taken by Waltonians Monday. Deci sion on what stands the chap ter will take and what recom mendations it will make, if any, will be decided at its regular meeting on Monday, March 10. An informal show of hands at the meeting in dicated that members present were either opposed or un decided on the matter of merg ing the two commissions. Discussion brought out that the game authority and the fish commission represent conflicting philosophies, one commercial and the other re creational." Opinion also was expressed that spotsmen's money (which supports the game commission) should be used for sportsman purposes and that utilizing such funds to aid commercial fishing in terests would not be an equit able break. It was acknowl edged that merger of the two administrative agencies might be all right if equitable use of funds is obtained. However, it was also ventured that use of funds to provide more fish for commercial interests pos sible could mean more fish for sportmen. Need of having a "firm law" proposed before a defi nite stand can be made was suggested. Desire was expres sed for knowledge on how consolidation would be work ed out. Fear of too much pow er m two few hands was men tioned. California has com bined commission while Washington still has two, ; it was reported. ! Enforcement Change On the matter of adequate regulations it was suggested that enforcement of game laws should be turned back to the game commission. It was charged that the state police do not have the time or manpower for game enforce ment for the money put into it. Reciprocal hunting and fishing agreements with bord ering states were proposed. Need for more and stronger laws was stressed with the matter of pollution cited as an example. Along with discussion on increase and conservation of game, Earl Knight, the chap ter's vice president for wild life, read a tentative resolu tion for protection and ex pansion of winter feeding grounds for deer. The pro posal would have the game commission purchase feeding grounds which are in private ownership and would have grazing permits abolished for these areas which are held by the forest service and bureau land management. There was not discussion or vote on this resolution. A law making all wild animals game animals was suggested. Depends on Weather Schupenies told Waltonians that the concrete structure for housing turbine screens at Savage Rapids dam is com plete but that screen guides yet muste installed. Screens were due to arrive this week. The engineer said that high water stymies installation of the guides and that whether screens will be in operation for this season depends on the weather during the next six weeks. He stated that, if the coffer dam has been low ered by the high water, it may have to be built up. Purpose of the screens is to prevent damage and de struction to downstream mi grating fish. Waltonians work ed hard to secure the secreen ing. Rivers reported a Rogue five chinook salmon count of 19,000 at Gold Ray dam for 1957. It was short of what was anticipated. He said he looks for a larger run of around 24,000 in 1958 but he warn ed that effects of 1955 Rogue flooding will be felt in 1959. To Study Louvre Effect It is hoped to find out this year how good a job louvres at the Ideal Cement plant diversion near Gold Hill are doing in turning migrating fish away from the turbines, Rivers said. He reported that the louvres seem to be doing a good job. The fish biologist termed fish mortality at Gold Ray shocking. Rivers stated that the commission is in the process of negotiating with California Oregon Power com pany for some method of pro tecting fish. The biologist reported Butte Halls natchery trout in ex cellent shape and .foresaw. greater per cent of return to fishermen by the delayed opening of trout season on the Rogue this spring. Rivers told Waltonians that the j fisheries division plans to start with trout in Howard prairie, reservoir. Spiny ray fish will be planted if trout don't succeed. It is planned to rehabilitate Hyatt lake when that reservoir is drawn down in 1 9 5 9 for installation of screens. The lake, now stunt ed with crappies, will be planted with blue gill and bass. Rivers said that a com plete kill is hoped for when Fish lake is treated again. The rehabilitation is tenta tively slated for this fall. Shepard reported that the spring breeding population of pheasants rn this area, is run ning about the same as last year. The number is a little under last year but distribu tion is better, he said. Hunt ing prospects still depends on the effect of spring weather on. nesting and the hatch. The field man said that quail seem to be snapping back to an almost all-time high. Spring breeding popula tion count has been 40 to 45 birds per 100 habitant acres. The count was down to 17 last year compared to the all time peak of 44 in 1955. Shepard reported deer in good condition. He reported ample crossings for ' deer along the migratory route in the area of the Talent project canals but pointed the need of proper protection a g a i nst deer losses in the canals. Shepard also outlined work being done at the game com mission management area on Rogue river.

Art Too Abstract For Portland Use Portland (IP) Port of Portland commissioners, who commissioned modern artist Louis Brunce to sketch a pos sible mural for the new air terminal here, decided against it Tuesday. Commissioners agreed that the painting was artistic but decided it was a little too ab stract for the lobby of the air terminal. Artist Brunce said he tried to create a mural which would, be as modern in con cept as air travel and the building itself . . . incorpor ating a sense of space and movement. Commissioner Luke Rob erts said he felt it was a fine piece of art but added: "If you don't think the public will accept this then we have to go to cows, or horses, or timber, or mountains, or air planes, something they can recognize."

More than 700 research industry and governments Seafon Expects Pleasant Valley Study Approval Portland (IP) Interior Secretary Fred Seaton says he is confident Congress will approve $196,000 for a feasi bility study of a proposed high dam at the Pleasant Val ley site on the Snake river. The Federal Power Commis sion recently turned down a private license for a lower Pleasant Valley project and a Mountain Sheep dam. It reco mended a high Nez Perce dam. Neuberger Dam Vetoed Seaton, who flew here Tuesday night, did not sup port a bill by Sen. Richard Neuberger (D-Ore.) which would require the secretary of interior's satisfaction that such a project as Nez Perce have adequate fish protection. He said such a bill would have the effect of making the Fed eral Power Commission, which he called an "independ ent agency," subservient to the secretary of interior. Seaton said he believed an Interior Department bill could accomplish the same object ive. He said this bill "would let the department satisfy it self on wildlife matters in early planning stages rather than coming into the project after plans were completed." Must Be Solved in Region Seaton said that many prob1 lems facing development of a suggested regional power cor poration would have to be solved in this region. He said these include such as the pre ference clause, proposed method of financing, and the question of whether there should be a five-year wait be fore existing government fa cilities are turned over to a corporation. Seaton said he was opti mistic that the Alaska state hood bill would pass this ses sion of Congress. He was to give two Lincoln day speeches here tonight, a S3-a-Dlate talk at the Colum bia Athletic club at the Colum- plate talk at the Multnomah hotel. HOSPITAL CASE 1-aHillar Mirh.
