12 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford". Oreqsn, Friday, Novtmfeir 7. 1958 Is That The jack salmon of the Pa cific Coast, as Mojo Lampe, of Everett, Wash., pointed out in a recent letter, is probably the most mysterious of the mysterious almon tribe. It is a small salmon, a verg ing two pounds and rarely exceeding six, is a superb fighter for the angler using light tackle, and almost all of them are males. Why the jack, more com monly known as the grilse, is almost invariably a male is that for some mysterious rea son some male salmon become sexually mature far earlier than others. When that matur ity arrives, the salmon heads for his native stream. Examples of this advanced maturity occur among sock eye, king, coho or dog salmon. The king salmon, for example, spawns in its fourth to seventh years, chiefly the fourth for the female. The male, how ever, may not go to the spawn ing beds until the seventh or eighth year when he has at tained a weight of 60 or 70 pounds. But some king males mature in their second or third years, and those are the jacks or grilses of that species. For years if was believed that jacks were stunted fish, but scale studies of ages show they are not. A king jack will weigh ounce for ounce with a a normal King maie oi me same age, the only detectible difference being sexual ma- SPECIALIZING IN: Speedometer Service Cables & Casing Drive Joints (any ratio) Complete Auto electric parts & repairs Electric Supply Go. 243 N.

Not Due to Diet So far as can be determin ed, the difference is not due to diet but to an unknown factor. Whatever it is, it must be a powerful one to bring a fish to maturity two or three times faster than anoth er of the same species. The jack's spawning run be gins later in the year, but that is the only difference I can find between him and a nor mal salmon. Life evidently be gins the same for the jack as for others. When the eggs hatch out in early spring, the tiny salmon spends the first six weeks or so living on the yolk. When that is gone and he has begun eating tiny or ganisms, he may start out immediately for the sea or de cide to spend a year in fresh water. Unless he is a dog salmon or humpback they leave immediately. Those of the kings, cohoes or sockeyes that spend a year in fresh water seem to survive better when they reach the sea, but they apparently do not grow so fast. But that is no clue to the mystery of the jack. There are both big and little king jacks, and age stud ies show they could have spent one or two years in the sea.

Premier Amintore Fanfani instructed the Italian am bassador in London to convey the protest to the Foreign Office. The move followed a storm of indignation by the Italian press and patriotic or ganizations over Montgom ery's remarks. Text Not Announced The text of the Italian pro test was not announced im mediately. But in a simultaneous cable to the Italian Veterans Asso ciation, Fanfani lashed out bitterly at "the opposing com mander who repeats insults pronounced in past years by the leaders of world Commu nism." In his cable, Fanfani noted that he planned to go to Egypt shortly to inaugurate a memorial to Italian soldiers killed in the Battle of El Ala- mein on the North 'African front - the battle in which Montgomery said the Italians did not "fight hard." Rome -(UPD- Vincenzo Capu- to, president of the Italian Na tionalist Association, chal lenged British Field Marshal Montgomery to a duel, saying the Britisher had "defamed" Italian troops. In London, Montgomery re plied he would have nothing to do with it. He said he did not own a pistol and that duel ing was not allowed in Eng land. Caputo's association has no known members and he is considered a publicity seeker here.

Weapons Due For Tunisia Paris - (UPD - The United States and Britain are prepar ing to ship "light and med ium" weapons to Tunisia to strengthen the hand of pro- Western President H a b i b Bourguiba, diplomatic sources said today. They said France has of fered no objection to the ship ment. Although the weapons were not described in detail, the term "light and medium" might cover all such equip ment as small arms, heavy machine guns and perhaps light artillery. Unconfirmed reports said the weapons, believed to be in quantities sufficient to equip "a few battalions" of Tunisian troops, would be shipped with in a few weeks. French approval of the ship ment provided a sharp con trast to the uproar here last year when it was learned that 500 U. S. rifles and 420 Brit ish submachine guns had been shipped to the Tunisians. - Salem Man Held In Hunting Death Dallas, Ore (UPD David Michael McGee, 36, Salem, was arrested Thursday on a warrant charging manslaugh ter in the hunting death last Oct. 21 of Amnon S. Grice. Grice was a former presi dent of the Oregon Farmers Union. District Attorney Walter Foster of Polk county issued the warrant for McGee's ar rest following a report from the state police crime labora tory in Salem that indicated Grice had been shot with Mc Gee's .35 caliber rifle. At first, police thought Grice had been killed with his own gun while hunting with seven other farmers near his Orchard Heights home. McGee was arraigned be fore Justice of the Peace Dar rell J. Williams. Bail was set at $5,000. Palestine Refugees Debated by UN United Nations, N.Y.-OJPD-The United Nations launches debate on the future of about 900,000 Palestine Arab refu gees today. Leslie J. Carver, acting di rector of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was scheduled to report to the U.N. special political commit tee on his group"s operations in Palestine. Carver has pleaded for $37,500,000 for its 1959 opera tions contending that work for the refugees is "essential ly a matter of peace and order for the Near East and for the world." Dr. Orval Eaton, O.D. announces the opening of his NEW OFFICE in the Oakdale Professional Bldg. for the practice of OPTOMETRY 403 S. Oakdale Phone SP 2-2060 Democrats Call For Probe of General Motors Washington-ZUPD-Democrats on the Senate anti-monopoly subcommittee have called for a federal investigation to de termine whether the courts should be asked to break up General Motors Corp. But a Republican subcom mittee member promptly charged the Democratic ma jority with "unwarranted ef frontery" and ' "sly insinua tions" against the giant car manufacturing firm. The Democrats led by sub committee Chairman E s t e s Kefauver (D-Tenn.) late Thursday issued a 183-page report urging the Justice De partment to conduct "a thor ough examination of monop oly aspects of the automobile industry." The report' said the subcom mittee's own hearings showed "little doubt that the hard core of the monopoly problem in the automobile industry is in the concentration of pro duction and power held by GM." Attack on Monopoly Asserting that information from its own hearings and elsewhere might open the way to a new overall attack on monopoly, the majority said its comment was "parti cularly applicable to GM and may apply also to Ford and Chrysler." The report was signed by Kefauver and Sens. Thomas C. Hennings Jr. (D-Mo.), Jo seph C. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) and John A. Carroll (D-Colo.). Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R- 111.) fired off a sharply-word ed 101-page dissent charging that the majority report clear ly was written by the subcom mittee staff and largely re flected the views of staff economist John M. Blair. Dirksen, who may be Sen ate GOP leader in the next Congress, said the report is "so handicapped by errors both as to facts and conclu sions as to impeach its credi bility and eliminate its use fulness." ilia Forest Roads Said Blocked Pendleton-(UPD-Forest serv ice officials warned hunters in eastern Oregon and south west Washington today that roads in almost all sections of the Umatilla forest are blocked due to wind, rain and downed trees. Officials said the condition is expected to last through Saturday in most areas, and warned elk hunters and other sportsmen in" higher eleva tions to make preparations to leave the area in the event of a snowfall. Walla Walla district ranger Homer Oft said trees have been blown down in the main trunk roads in the main areas of the forest in southeast Washington. Roads in an area north of Tollgate in the Blue Mountains also were reported blocked. Television Quiz Producer Arrested New York-(UPD-District At torney Frank Hogan announc ed today the arrest of Albert Freedman, producer of the TV quiz show "Twenty-One" on two charges of perjury. In a grand jury indictment handed up today it was charg ed that Freedman, 36, "know ingly lied when he appeared before the grand jury to an swer questions as to whether he supplied questions and an swers to 21 contestants before they appeared on the pro gram. Hogan said the grand jury charged Freedman "in fact, revealed questions and an swers to contestants prior to their appearances." Hogan did not say how many con testants were involved. Freedman faces a possible 10 years in jail and $10,000 fine if convicted of the charges. MERGER PLANNED NNew York (UPD- The di rectors of General Telephone Corp. and Sylvania Electric Products Thursday announced plans to merge into a firm to be known as General Tele phone and Electronics Corp. Tax Forms Due For Mailing Washington - (UPD -The In ternal Revenue Service will start mailing out a record 60 million individual income tax returns shortly after Christ mas. Persons who did not file last year and who don't get forms in the mail may obtain them from post offices, banks and local internal revenue of fices. Officials said the service held off mailing out the re turns until after Christmas so they would not swell the normally heavy Christmas time burden on the post of fice. The most important change in this years tax filing pro cedure is that the short, punch card return may be used by taxpayers who earn up to $10, 000 a year. Previously the punch card could be filed only by those making up to $5,000. On the long return, the well known form 1040, the service has dropped the controversial expenses account line 6 A, which set off a storm of pro test when it was announced last year. Russia Stages Atomic Tests, President Says Washington iUPD President Eisenhower announced today that Russia has staged two atomic weapons tests since East-West test ban negotia tions started Oct. 31. He said this country and Great Britain will continue their test suspension for the time being but warned that the Soviet action "relieves the United States of any obliga tion" to do so. The President said that if the Russians did not stop their weapons experiments, the U.S. "will be obliged to reconsider" the test suspen sion which Britain and this country put into effect when the Geneva talks began. Small Yield Weapons The Atomic Energy Com mission said the Russians staged test explosions of rela tively small yield weapons Nov. 1 and Nov. 3 at its south ern Russian test site. Previ ously the AEC had reported 14 Soviet explosions at the test site north of the Arctic Circle. The President recalled that on Aug. 22 he proposed that the East and West suspend tests for a year from the day negotiations for a permanent ban got under way. Britain agreed. But the Russians, while agreeing to start negotiations, claimed the right to continue testing until they had explod ed as many weapons as the U.S. and United Kingdom had fired since the last Soviet test series which ended March 22. The Russians accordingly resumed testing Sept. 30, after a suspension of six months, and have not yet stopped. Californian Killed In Upset of Truck Macdoel. Calif. - (UPD - Louis M. Luzzi, 20, of Mac doel, was killed instantly Thursday when his flatbed truck, loaded with Christmas trees, went out of control and overturned on him. The California Highway Patrol said Luzzi was driving rlown Haight Mountain from Tenant, Calif., when he lost control of the truck.
