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.

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.
Oregon State's rebounding
percentage was better than
half 57.5. Californiawasnext
with 52.7, followed by Idaho
51.8, Oregon 51.1, and South
ern Cal 51.1.
SC's Trojans had permitted
opponents 195 field goals in
617 trys for a field goal de
fense percentag of 31.6. UCLA
was second best with 32.5 per
cent. Washington had 33.1,
and Oregon State 34.2.
Stanford's free throw per

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.

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."

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.

day speeches here tonight, a
