(Served Anytime) at Hie Hotel Medford Dining Room CHILDREN ALWAYS WELCOME Witnesses Oppose Combining Agencies (Continued From Page One) At the conclusion of Fri day night's hearings, Senator Naterlin said in a statement that the state offices of the Isaac Walton league are favor able towards the idea of con solidating many of the agencies dealing with re sources, but the committee was finding that many local officers oppose it. Smith was asked by Rep. Bill Bradley, Gresham, if he knew why Oregon had 125 separate agencies and a state the size of New York has only 29. He replied his chapter does not oppose consolidation of some agencies but does oppose combining the fish and game commissions and also the state water resources board with the state hydroelectric commission. Rep. Pat Metke, Bend, ask ed Grover if he feels the people of Grants Pass are in favor of government economy at the expense of "tempor ary" conflicts in the combin ation of these agencies. Metke pointed out that an estimated Wz million is wasted each year in Oregon's government because of dupli cation of services and effort by the different agencies, a waste that might be prevent ed if an over-all authority would be put in charge of coordinating the various ac tivities of these agencies. No 'False Economy' Grover replied that there is such a thing as "false econ omy" and consolidation might cost the people much more than what it would have by reducing the amount and quality of the services that each agency is now perform ing. Grover also told the. com mission that the local cham ber is opposed to any combi nation of the state water re sources board, the state engi neering department, and the state hydroelectric . commis sion. He said the water re sources board is doing such a fine job it would be risking its efficient operations if it were combined with these groups. G. P. Hilton, chairman of the Grants Pass chamber, agreed with Grover and point ed out to the committee that the state water resources board recently conducted a water study in the Rogue ba sin for only $25,000, and that he feels the cost would be much higher and the study not as good if it had been com bined with other groups with other interests. 'One Umbrella' Kenneth Denman, speaking for the Jackson county chap ter of the Izaac Walton league, said by combining agencies the problems that now exist would not be solved, but "just put under one umbrella." Denman said the chapter would favor a limited depart ment of natural resources if it did not include the fish and game commissions and if it could first be proved to work more efficiently and econom ically than the separate agencies do now. t Rep. F. I. Bristol, Josephine county, told the committee he has found that most of the state's boards, commissions, and agencies are paying their own way" and very often contributing to the sup port of other state functions as well. Concerning the problem that the governor of Oregon has in trying to find good men for appointment to the state's boards and commissions, Bris tol said he sympathized with the governor but nevertheless feels it is part of his job to find men of the necessary talent and experience who will serve well in these ca pacities. Blame Unfortunate He said it is unfortunate that the governor is blamed for any mistakes made by these groups but does not feel that consolidation would be as successful as the pres ent set-up. Rep. Carl Back, Port Or ford, asked several witnesses if they thought fishing on the Rogue river would have been, better protected for both com mercial and sports use, had there been an over-all author ity to coordinate the policies of the various agencies that have tried to preserve fishing on the Rogue. Cole Rivers, who has stud ied the Rogue river for the state, said when fishing de clined on the river and it was closed to commercial fishing ''41. W in 1935, the commercial fish ermen were blamed for the decline and it was expected the number of salmon would increase when they were gone. But, he said, after the com mercial interests left, came the years of a wild scramble for water, for logging, irriga tion and mining, which con tinued to keep the number of fish down through pollution and lack of water. However, Rivers pointed out, there are indications that the fish runs are no longer decreasing in size in the Rogue and at some time in the future might start increas ing again. Even though some fisher men feel that fish in the Rogue are getting harder, to catch, he said it is estimated that it still takes half as long to catch a fish in the Rogue as any other Oregon river. Witnesses Questioned The committee also asked several witnesses about their feelings toward a proposal to create an agency to develop a broad over-all outdoor rec reation plan for the state. Several witnesses felt this is not necessary, because, they said, Josephine county has an extensive parks and recrea tion program which has been built and is run by the county with no state help whatsoever. There are at present no de veloped state parks in the courty, so they are getting along quite wen witnout a state plan, they said. Another witness at the meet ing said it might be good if the state would give more aid to counties that don't have state parks now, but he did not see how over-all planning for future . recreation would do much because it it toohard to tell what people will want in the way of recreation in years to come. Speakers Protest Other speakers protested against a possible combination of state land use agencies say ing they are doing a very ef ficient job at present and com bination would reduce their effectiveness because of di vergent interests and mixed purposes. Frank Price, a farmer at Sunny Valley, told the com mittee that the soil conserva tion committee, which has only two members, would lose its identity if it were com bined with other groups and probably not be able to op erate nearly as cheaply or ef ficiently as it has been. The same views were ex pressed by others concerning the department of geology and mineral industries. A spokesman said he feels this service is best provided and accomplished on a local level to apply to specific conditions, and if it were combined under a central authority it would come to represent other inter ests and would not accomp lish nearly as much as it does now. The committee, which met in Eugene before coming to Grants Pass, will go on to Gold Beach and Coquille for further meetings in this part of the - state. Other members of the com mittee besides Netke, Nater lin, Back and Bradley, are: Senators C. Leth, Salem, and Daniel A. Thiel, Astoria; Rep. Frank Weatherf ord, Olex; Charles Collins. Roseburg and L. C. Binford, Portland. Leth, Thiel and Binford were not present at Friday night's meeting. ' Russians to Visit UO Medical School Portland - (UPD - Four Rus sian scientists in the field of radiation biology will visit the University of Oregon Medical school here next week.
