Oregon Delegation Supporting
Fishery Research Crash Program
By A. 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.

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.

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.
