Paul Weiland, which appear elsewhere on this page. They represent one point of view a per fectly legitimate one in regard to what are the most important benefits. .They also seem to represent a slight change in the all-or-nothing approach of which some conservationists have been accused in the fish vs. dams controversy in past years. Colonel Weil and, it is widely known, is a spokesman for the ardent sportmen's viewpoint. TTHE spring run of chinook salmon in the Rogue in past years represented a valued resource. But it has been a declining one. Last year the run was only about one-third of what it was a de cade and a half earlier. Colonel Weiland's suggestion that the plan of oneration nronosed for Lost Creek is not neces sarily sacred, and his implied recommendation that studies be made to find out, are fair enough. But we still maintain that the Fish and Wild life Service has been less than candid about the Rogue fishery; that it most certainly hasn't done much to improve the declining run even with out dams, and that the amount of foot-dragging and pussy-footing it has engaged m over a period of time stretching back into the early '40s is a heck of a note for a federal agency. Why haven't the necessary studies been made and publicized long since: AND it will take a lot more evidence than "Colonel Weiland has supplied to convince us that 8 per cent of the chinook run, in its present declining stage, is a value which is ot more 1m portance. than the potential benefits recrea tion (including other types, of fishing), irriga tion, power, flood control, and others of i rounded development plan.

It is believed that the an swers to your questions can be obtained from the report by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the Rogue River Basin dated April 1956. 1 have a copy of this report that I will be glad to loan. This re port was made after data was secured in the basin from 1949 to 1955 by specialists trained for that purpose. It is believed that there are no benefits being held up ex cept more water for irriga tion. It is entirely possible that all the irrigation requirements can be met without using wa ter from the main stem of the Rogue river, There is no question, accord ing to all available informa tion on moving salmon up ov er a dam such as Lost Creek, that all of that part of the run would be lost. It may be true Castro's Future in Doubt as Revolutionary Trend Spreads By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor No matter how high Cuba's Fidel Castro may be riding now, there are many who pre dict his coun try will be in volved in vio lent revolu tion before the year is out. What m a n- ner of man is Castro - sav iour, impracti c a 1 idealist, trigger - hap py zealot or tool of commu nism? '. . Whatever he is, few men have so stirred the imagina tions of restless Latin Ameri cans since Simon Bolivar, the South American liberator who was born in Caracas, Venezu ela, in 1783 .and who by the time of his death at the age of 47 was the .liberator-hero of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecua dor, Panama, Peru and Bo- sS5.ii! -Titian r .?-::! Phil N livia. In the seven months since Castro drove former dictator Fulgencio Batista from Cuba, uprisings or threats of upris ings have occurred in the Ca-J ribbean nations of Panama, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Hon duras, Haiti and the Domini can Republic. Have Castro Trademark Two of these, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, are dictator nations especially ear-marked by Castro as next on the liberation schedule. But each uprising has had the Castro trade-mark. In most cases, the uprising has been generated by politi cal exiles of the nation in volved, aided by Cubans and sometimes abetted by training in Cuba's Pinar Del Rio Prov ince, spawning grounds of rev olutions. ' - . - The-magnetism of Castro's leadership already has been demonstrated. One news writ er said of him: , Matter of Fact Joseph Alsop IIP? 2. That undue concern with 8 per cent (or even 10 or 12 per cent) of the chinook runs rep resent a; concern for the greatest good for the greatest number. E.A. t j Rogue Surveys The Rogue River basin has been surveyed by north of the Pacific and East- more official bodies than any other stream in em junction. Orep-nn. Starting in 1939 the Reclamation bureau, at the. request of the State of Oregon, undertook a comprehensive survey of the region, but its recommendations in 1948 for dams in the upper reaches of the river system brought such a storm of protest irom sportsmen mat it nas lam aormanT, ever since. After'severe floods in 1955-56 the Corps of Engineers undertook a survey, reports of which are now being made public and again they have drawn opposition how strong we do not know from the fishing fraternity.

METHOD IN K's MADNESS Washington - Missile power was the topic of the most inter esting suppressed passage in in the ugly in terview Nikita S. Khrushchev a c c o rded to Averell Harri man. : The passage was interest ing, first of all, because Khrushchev so ' i t -ins-oh Biisnn mucn, wanxea to talk about missiles that he introduced the topic himself. He began with the same sort of brutal boast about his me dium range missiles that he made to the West German Socialist editors-"Eight will be enough to destroy Western Germany, six will wipe out France, and so on. The passage was interesting, too, because Khrushchev did not precisely claim that he already - had enough long range missiles to destroy the United States. He boasted, rather, of his long lead in ICBM development. He added, somewhat enigmatically, "If I spend another 30 billion ru bles, I can have enough inter continental missiles for every major city in America. TUT his passage .was inter- esting, above all, because of Khrushchev's reply to Har- riman, when the latter re marked that the Soviet Union would also suffer in an ex change of nuclear weapons, Khrushchev conceded that Russia might not altogether escape the West's retaliation, but he implied that he feared no damage going anywhere near the hideous limits that the Soviet strategists are known to regard as accepta ble. We might lose Leningrad,' he said, significantiy naming the one great city in Russia that is ' hardest to defend against air attack. "But Lenin grad, is not Russia, whereas Paris is France, and London is England." The contrast between Khrushchev's - ways of talk ing about medium range and long range missile power was notable. CONFLICTS arise over the demands for irriga tion water, for power development, flood con trol and preservation of sports fishing for which the Rogue is famed. The bad flood of December, 1955 converted a good many to the need for dams to retain heavy runoff because the flood waters 1760 yards. 3.

Automobile. 2.1 TT SEEMS .to offer partial A confirmation of the Ameri can analysts' estimate -of the present state of the Soviet missile program. But this is largely counter-balanced, in the opinion of the best authori ties here, by Khrushchev's ap parent confidence, or over confidence, in the capacity of his air defense system to par ry an American nuclear strike Only an H-bomb war can show whether Khrushchev is right, or the American air staff is right, about the effec tiveness of the Soviet air de fense. In any case, as the Stra tegic Air Commander, Gen Thomas Power, has wisely said, what Khrushchev thinks we"can do to him matters even more than what we really can do to him. For if he thinks he can - win the world for the loss of only one city, he is likely to take risks that wiU bring on the kind of test one must pray wul never be made. No doubt that . is putting Khrushchev's estimate in an extreme way; but the Ameri can analysts are now agreed that' Khrushchev is rightly or wr o n g 1 y downgrading the Western nuclear deterrent in thoroughly disturbing way, If the deterrent does not de cisively deter, the result must be an arrogant conviction of Soviet military superiority. A conviction of military superi ority is the necessary basis, in turn, for the peculiar tac tics Khrushchev is now using. The tactics are only too clearly defined. Both 4Jle Her riman interview and Khrush chev's more recent Polish speeches were marked by an apparently lunatic alternation of missile-rattling and loud protestations that the Soviet Union would "Never, never, never launch any war." ,'. THE lunacy is only apparent. This is a familiar combina tion, of boasts of strength to inspire fear and protestations of peacefulness to promote wishful thinking. It was just the combination that worked so weU for Adolf Hitler, until the very last round. Former Governor Harriman greatly diluted his published accounts of his Khrusncnev interview, and he deplored Washington's description of this interview as "Hitler-like, for the same reason. He fear ed impairment of his own ability to negotiate with the Kremlin in the future-which is an entirely legitimate reason. It is also true that Knru- schchev does not resemble Hitler, in the sense of posi tively wanting war. But Khruschev's tactics most cer tainly resemble Hitler's tac tics, with the intimidation largely directed, at least for the present, at the western Allies overseas. EquaUy cer tain, the conviction of mili tary superiority already re ferred to is the true basis of these tactics. Yet in these circumstances, nothing whatever is being done to alter - Khrushchev's judgment of the military bal ance. Neville Chamberlain at least launched his famous fake rearmament program, And history and his country- Lmen do not remember Neville Chamberlain with any kind liness. (C) 1959. New York Herald Tribune Inc. Fidel Castro and his 26th of July movement are the flaming symbol of opposition to the regime. The organiza tion is formed of youths of aU kinds. It is a revolutionary movement that calls itself so cialistic. It is also nationalist, which generally in Latin America means anti-Yankee. The program is vague and couched in generalities, but it amounts to a new deal for Cuba, radical, democratic and therefore anti-communistic." Two Years Early That paragraph was phrased nearly two years in advance of Castro's final victory. In one aspect it proved ac curate. In another, at least open to doubt. Castro obviously came to power with -his ultimate ob jectives only vaguely couched in his mind. The result is to day's chaos. - . Laws or decrees have been promulgated at Castro's whim. Each is advertised as for the nation's good, but each has resulted in near or total dislocation of the area af fected. Nearly half of Cuba's two-million-man working, force is alyzed the building field. The alzed the building field. The agrarian reform law brought almost total paralysis to cane, tobacco and rice plantings. And so the list goes Castro's own headstrong na ture has shown in the dismal, rhythmic sound of Cuban fir ing squads before whom near ly 600 already have f aUen, with more promised. First vic tims were alleged Batistaites. To them now are added "counter-revolutionaries" and op ponents of the agrarian reform law. ' Castro's own handpicked president, Manuel Urrutia Lleo, found what could hap pen as result of criticizing the regime. He was dismissed and accused of near-treason be cause he protested the grow ing power of communism in Cuba. that the Pelton Dam operation will work, however it is doubtful that the cost in mon ey and water would justify such a procedure for Lost Creek. No doubt the cost would make the dam other than feasible. The Copper dam regardless of how beneficial could not offset the loss of the spring chinook since spring chinook could never be established in the Applegate. The stream does not have the required characteristics. It must be remembered that the spring chinook salmon run of the Rogue is a resource ana one that we can easily lose and once lost can never be re placed. The Rogue spring chi nook is the only run like it in the world. These fish are known the world over for their qualities over and above other spring chinook salmon runs. When we have lost this re source is soon enough to build a dam on the main stem that might have done away with the resource sooner, . I hope and feel that we can iustifv a dam at Lost Creek " ... . . for all benefits except irriga tion and get Congress to ap propriate the necessary funds, because I feel that we will be able to show that with such an operation we will save the anadromous fish runs of the Rogue.

The cobra brings forth live young, hundreds at a tune, and over-run a given area in a very short time, with their rate of several births a year at this hundreds - at - a - time nace. It Drobably would oe saia that they are not acclimated to this land and therefor could not become a menace here. Then how come they are liv ing in the "Cobra Farms" of Jackson county as well as all over our lands? This business of importing these poisonous and repulsive reptiles, that are foreign to America, has been going on for several year, and is growing, because of patronage of people who so wish to see something new and strange, that they pay the price to look upon some thing more -deadly than our own poisonous snaKes. In Springfield, Mo., in 193.J, some cobras escaped one of these . "Farms" and kept the natives of that section of the THE LABOR DILEMMA , Washington - For the first time in decades the Demo cratic party generally is more ""n afraid of 1 seeming to be afraid of la bor than it is :. o f offending labor. This is the "gut" truth lies all the current Cbn- gre s s i o n a 1 over labor re form bills. In a word, a whole long era of highly simplified political alignments -here were the Democrats plus "La bor" neatly arrayed against th Republicans plus "Busi- ness"-has come to an end, There is, now, widespread Democratic recognition - not just among conservatives and moderates but also among the bulk of the liberals-that the public resolutely demands ac tion against labor excesses. The new and fundamental reality is this: the Democrats now believe that while it sure ly would be dangerous for Congress to enrage labor by punitive legislation, it would be even more dangerous to go home without acting at all. THE Democratic party sim ply cannot afford to have the public think it lacked the courage to act. Men of all fac tions have told this corre spondent as much, and made no bones about it. ' ' In one sense, the Democrats have been delivered from an old bondage to the labor lead- In another sense,, they have inherited almost insolu ble problems as to how ' to conduct themselves m this phase of new freedom - and new risk. For the great mass pf the Democrats' are by no means anti-labor." They are simply no longer automatically "pro- labor." This is mainly because of the disclosures of corrup tion made by the long investi gations of the Senate "rack ets" committee. This body has been under the chairmanship of a Democratic conservative, Sen. John L. McClellan of Ar kansas. But its whole history and tone have been dominated almost as much by its out standing liberal member, Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachur sptts. and his brother, Robert, who is the committee's chief of counsel. state alarmed and on eage for months, until they had captured or kulecL all of the reptiles known to have es ranprl.

We protect our people rrom the evils of imported drugs, and we keep a strict quaran tine for protection against rieadlv disease that might be carried to our people by im migrants to this country. If it is because we- do not wish to deprive our citizens of the thrill of seeing the evil thing that would destroy them, that we allow cobra farms. (The king cobra is supposed to be the onlv snake that will come after you to strike, without provocation), I am satisfied to look at a picture of tnem. Pat Graham 175 Jeanette st., Medford There is an ultra-conserva tive Democratic handful in Congress that would like sun ply to punish labor. There is an ultra-liberal quarter-nana- ful that- almost would go to the point of exempting labor from all laws, including tne traffic laws, if it could. . UT the' great majority of the Democrats really want to deal evenly and rationaUy -to "clean up" but certainly not to destroy labor-not only for urgent political reasons but also for plain reasons of public interest. " Wish is one thing, however, and performance is quite an other. To begin with, labor legislation is immensely com plicated, requiring an expert- ness demanded in. no other field. Too, the Congressional Republicans understandably have no wish to assist in taK ing their Democratic antago nists off the hook. Some of them, at many times and many places in both houses of Congress, are dropping sand in the gears. . ("Why not?" growls a Re publican senator. ''The voters gave the Democrats the. re sponsibility of giying ,'them control of Congress.; Now -let the Democrats keep the re sponsibility.") . Moreover, no domestic issue has-been bedevilled longer by extremism and by stereotypes and stale slogans. While the ultra -conservatives want to make 'labor more or less un constitutional labor itself tends to demand the whole loaf. Labor has largely earned and honorably kept its high place in American society. But rather than helping the temperate Democrats to bring off a reasonable solution, some labor leaders are crying "no" to nearly everything. THEY did exactly this 11 years ago when the Taft Hartley act was being drawn. They alienated the moderates. The only result was to build up rather than to reduce anti labor extremists. It was only the patient and skillful Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio who saved labor from truly vindic tive legislation that passed the House. Labor is risking now a repetition of 1948. Taft's reward was to be un reasonably denounced by la bor leaders who owed him much more than they recog nized until much later. They carr-j too late to understand what this supposed "enemy' had in fact done for them, in a public climate so angry with labor it was ready to throw the baby out along with the bath water. The climate of public opin ion is similar now, by every sign. Again, however, labor leaders are refusing to give effective support to those tem perate men, such as Senator Kennedy, who are earnesUy- and . above aU competently- trying to protect labors ana the public's legitimate inter ests. .

Inc.) tion under the five dam pro gram, since all available wa ter from the river above Lost Creek will be required for keeping the water tempera tures in Lower Rogue low enough so that the down stream migrant salmon and steelhead will not die before they can reach the ocean. - Attached is a- graph, show ing maximal water tempera tures of Rogue and those trib utaries having a flow of at least five cubic feet per sec ond. Those temperatures were taken by Mr. Cole Rivers, fish biologist, Oregon State Game Commission, Sept. 16 to 19, 1958. When one realizes that most of the downstream mi grating salmon and steelhead (young), were still in the river below Grants Pass at this time, they will see the im portance of reducing the wa ter temperatures. Many of us locally want the Lost Creek Dam, provided it will be operated and used only for the following benefits: Flood control, Municipal wa ter, Fishery, Power and Recreation. Under this plan the release of water should be controlled so as to first secure the maxi mum flood control and next the most benefit to the fish ery of the whole river , below the dam. Recommend that study be started at once by you and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Serv ice and the Oregon State Game Commission on the pos sibilities of the dam being op erated for those benefits only. My study indicates that the necessary water could be im pounded even durmg a low water' period such as 1931- 1935 to furnish water about as follows to provide the best habitat for the anadromous " fish: (a) Minimum release - 1,000 cubic feet per second. (b) In July release 300 cfs above intake or normal streamf low. , (c) In August and Septem ber release 600 cfs above nor mal streamf low. (d) First 15 days of October release 450 cfs above normal streamflow. . , The releases above 1000 cfs of course should be reduced when the water is not needed to lower water temperatures in lower Rogue. - - Many of us feel that with out the dam being operated in this manner so as to lower wa ter temperatures in the lower Rogue the high temperatures will in a matter of years do away with all of the spring chinook salmon run and all of the summer run steelhead and the fall run steelhead and most of the faU run salmon and winter run steelhead, since with increased irriga tion from other dams the downstream migrants will be killed. Jn warm waters of low er Rogue except those that reach the ocean before about July 15. Without such an assist to help lower temperatures it may be that the Elk Creek, Lakecreek and Meadows proj ects will be too damaging, be cause of the large increases in high temperature water enter ing the river. It is of course realized mat fishery benefits will have to take up that benefit that could be charged to irrigation. I feel that when a careful check is made of the land that is .worth the price to irrigate that the irrigation job can be done cheaper and as well without the use of any water from the upper Rogue River.
