ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribun Washington Correspondent Washington - (Special) -Oregon's entire congressional delegation is supporting the proposal for a "crash pro gram" of fish ery research to solve the fish vs. dams conflict before anymore dams are built on the middle SnakeTiver. Rep. Al Ull man, whose a. Bobt. smith c o ngressional district borders the middle Snake, said he plans to in troduce a resolution very simi lar to the one sponsored in the Senate by seven North west senators authorizing the crash program and calling for a delay of up to five years in further dam construction in that area. Ullman, an early Hells Can- ft & f. ' yon dam leader, said his reso lution will go one step farther than the one drafted by Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D Wash.) so as to cover the Hells Canyon site, where Idaho Power Co. has a license to build a low dam. Magnuson's resolution cov ers that stretch of the Snake river from mile 180, which is between the points where the Clearwater and Salmon join the Snake, and mile 245, which is just below Hells Can yon. It covers sites of the pro posed projects at Nez Perce, high and low Mountain Sheep and Pleasant Valley on the Snake, and lower Canyon and all other sites on the Salmon river. It does not cover the Clearwater river sites of Penny Cliffs and Bruces Eddy. Application Pending , The resolution would call on the Federal Power Com mission not to . issue licenses for construction of dams of any type on this stretch of Small Worlds Around Us ' By Lynn M. Watkins . We Don't Appreciate The Value of Tongues Speaking of tongues, and we 'have to when we give voice to the spoken language, we often fail to appreciate Just how valuable these mus cular movable organs are to living animals. There are of course tongues for various purposes, design ed to make a way of life a little easier for the owners who probably never give the tongue any credit at alL The tongue of the chameleon, as well as that of the members of the woodpecker family of birds, is shaped ;and designed something like the pictured version of the "devil's pitch fork" or his tail inasmuch as it is , sharply pointed and equipped with a barb. Once an insect is impaled it cannot wriggle free. Cuplike Tongue , -The dog and cat have tongues that form a cup cap able' of scooping water. The ant eater has a tongue like a.; long flexible rubber tube covered with a sticky sub stance. It comes, in ' handy when the animal threads it down ' into the twists and turns of an ant funnel. The disturbed insects adhere to the tongue's surface and are pulled from the ground and eaten. t The frogs and toads have front-hinged tongues affixed to the fore part of the inside of the lower jaw giving an added reach; handy in snaring , a fly that stupidly thinks he is far enough away from the frog to be safe. The serpent's tongue is forked, its end branching out into two sec tions. The butterfly carries its tongue under its head coiled up like the hairspring of a watch. The giraffe can run its tongue out to a considerable distance, wrap it around a branch or a clump of leaves and pull them into its mouth. Coxy Spot The human tongue occupies a cozy place on the floor of the mouth and assists in talk ing, tasting and exploring the seemingly huge space where a tooth has been removed. It also comes in handy to put in one's cheek when we hear something we can't believe. When we eat, the tongue is constantly pushing food from one side of the mouth to the other. Being highly movable It very cleverly gets out of the "ay, just before we bite 'down. The human tougue also can distinguish the individual taste of several hundred dif ferent flavors. Someone ap parently, who didn't know what he was talking about said a pleasant taste or flavor "tickles the palate " The guy was off base a country-mile. The palate is the- bony roof of the mouth, it can't do any tasting at all, so whatever has been '.tickling or. . pleasing your palate'.' certainly was not a pleasant taste. Pretty 'important, in more ways than tasting and speak ing, is the very movable or gan that living creatures car ry in their mouths and that serves so many purposes aside from speaking. . (Released by The Register & Tribune Syndicate, 1959) Divorce Rate Up 24 Per Cent ' Portland -UPJ- The number of 1 marriages and divorces rose sharply in Oregon dur ing the first three months of 1959, according to the state board of health. The board said there were 1851 marriages and 1571 di vorces. The marriage rate went-up 11 per cent and the divorce rate rose 24 per cent. The ratio figures out to about 85 divorces for every 100 marriages, a new seven year record. Tonbridge, England-4DPB(DP&-Judd School Headmaster F. H. Taylor advised a male teach ers' meeting Friday . that schoolboys consider whippings part of the game. He said the boys would be "dreadfully dis appointed" if their pranks failed to bring punishment. the river. Pacific Northwest Power Co. has an application pending at the FPA for dams at high Mountain Sheep and Lower Canyon sites. Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton wants to finish studies of a dam at Pleasant Valley site. "The only sound solution is- a fish study and a temporary holdup of any licensing of any projects," Congressman Ull man said. "There is no ques tion but what fish are becom ing the determining factor. We are right on the verge of solving the fish problem. If we had a few million dollars, I think it can be done.' Ullman praised the work Portland General Electric Co. has done at Pelton dam on the Deschutes, and added that Idaho Power has done "a poor job at its Brownlee dam on the Snake. Reps Edith Green said she hoped the research could be done rapidly so that delay in building new dams would not adversely affect the North west's need for more power. Acceptable Statement "But I do agree that there should be an opportunity for the fish problem to be settled, in order to discourage any moves toward inadequate dams, on the specious grounds that the second best is good enough because the very best is 'controversial. For ' these reasons I feel that S. Con. Res. 35 is, as written, an acceptable statement of policy under present conditions," she said. Rep. Walter Norblad, not ing that he represents the fish ing center of Astoria, said he feels "it is of paramount im portance to preserve our sal mon runs and to carry out an extensive research program. I feel that the Magnuson reso lution is basically a good ap proach but I am not satisfied whether the five year waiting period of "no new starts' is necessary to solve this prob- leml Further research and studies should be made in the matter without a definite time limitation." Rep. Charles O. Porter said he agrees with the approach of the Magnuson resolution but hopes the crash program will bring a solution sooner than five years. " Must Wait "But if it is necessary to wait five years to resolve the conflict, then we must wait," he added. Porter said he wanted it understood he would not feel "bound by this resolution in connection with any migra tory fish problem except that which exists on the middle Snake." He was referring to the Rogue river, where he said "a completely different ap proach may be indicated." . The congressman hopes to get congressional authoriza tion for some new dams in the Rogue river basin next year when Congress is expect ed to take tip an omnibus au thorization bill for the Corps of Engineers. The Corrj is now working on a report of possible flood control projects for the Rogue river, but whether it will be ready in time for congressional action next year is uncertain. Announcing . I .
