They contrast Capital's re quest for a $12.9 million handout from Uncle Sam with the Chicago & North West ern's spending of $42 million of Its own money on new pas senger equipment including air - conditioned double - deck commuter cars. In a speech to a real estate group at Tarrytown, N.Y., Vice-President Ernest Nickcr son of the New York Central lashed out at Capital Airlines' subsidy request.

Illustrate Rail Automation Richter Illustrated his talk with some eye-opening photo slides showing the rapid de velopment of railroad auto mation, the many new varie ties of piggy back and contain er freight handling, new ma chines for laying track, build ing, inspecting and repairing cars, inspecting and repair ing bridges and even automa tic spray machines for killing weeds along the r:ght of way. Perhaps the most telling picture, although not the most dramatic, showed a stretch of former double track line, where one track had been tak en up and its space used for new signal equipment.

The program on the Rogue Is one of the few forward- looking fish programs in the country, according to Cole Rivers, fishery agent for the fish and game commission, who outlined the plan at Monday's Medford Chamber of C o m m erc rntindtable luncheon at the Jackson ho tel. The boom which Rivers re ferred to, are the years Just ahead for the Rogue valley when the population and tourists will increase consid erably. Rivers said that the Rogue Is already much over-adver tized as to the number of fish j and ease of fishing here, and! this will increase, attracting still more prospective anglers who envision easy catches. Fishermen can no longer catch a strelhead with every three or four casts as they could do some 15 or 20 yoRrs ago for several reasons, Riv ers said. Watershed Changed One of these is that the watershed has changed. An other, there are less fish. And a third, there are many more fishermen. Rivers stressed the fact that the number of anglers has increased consid erably and said it means that the fish must he spread among more persons, rednc- j ing the size of the individual catches. One of the three points in the planning program is-lo try and keep fishermen from fishing in those areas where fish should be receiving the best protection to ensure their growth and propoga tion. These areas are gener ally located on the upper Rogue, and, unfortunately, are near the heaviest popula tion centers, he said. The eommission plans to encour age fishermen to fish on 1 lie mid and downstream portions of the Rogue and Its tribu taries. Another plan Is to raise aalmon and steclhead in spe cially provided "rearing" res ervoirs. Hardier Fish Rlverj said the purpose n( these wiil be to raise stronger and hardier fish. Fish raised in hatcheries, he said, are not as hardy and resistant to dis ease and parasites s nature developed fish, nor do they successfully propogate In as groat a numbers. ItOls not that hatcheries are a total failure, he cau tioned, but they are not do ing the job i'dc should bt which must be faced if the present level of fishing is to be retained on the Rogue. These include water short ages during a critical period in the development of spring fish, harm to watersheds through careless logging and road-building methods, and doing, even thouuh the com- others. These can be worked mission is constantly under out through orderly planning nressure to develop more fish and development, he said. hatcheries. It has been found, he said that trout become a much hardier fish when raised in the semi-wild conditions of reservoirs as opposed to hatchery pools. The same thing will be tried and should prove successful, with salmon and steelhead as well, he said. One of these rearing res ervoirs might be the 7H-acre old Medco logging pond be tween Prospect and Butte Falls. Although much exper imenting has yet to be done. he noted, it is hoped that up to 700, U00 salmon and or steelhead could be raised there each year. Key Streams A third part of the pro gram is to develop key fishing streams which would help keep the pressure off down stream fish. The commission has found that some streams have a higher return of stock' fish than others. For instance, he said, the return of legal-size fish stneked in tile Rogue near Grants Pass, is only 10 or 15 per cent which means that each fish caught there costs the stale $2. However, there are other areas which have returns of up to 80 per cent, and these will be concentrated on in orner to develop more fish for the entire Rogue There are other problems In answer to a question, Rivers said the pollution problem in the RoRue is not yet great but is a potential threat. The only pollution of lasting duration now comes from Bear creek, he said. The valley is fortunate to have steep stream grading which helps to disperse what pollu tion that does enter the streams, he added. Rivers said there is a size able run of shad in the Rogue and has been since 1888, al though they are very diffi cult to catch. It is interesting to note, he said, that the shad on the Rogue go as far upstream as Rainey Falls, which is one of the highest points that shad have gone on any river. In Rivers' opinion, there is no reason why Rogue river fishing is going to have to take a back seat to future water development as long as it is part of an orderly de velopment of all of the Rogue's resources. dining traffic as one might imagine On the contrary, Richter said the single track remain ing carries a- lot more traffic than the double track used to; it does this by means of new automatic control systems em ploying radio, television, com puters and electronic switch ing devices - all known to railroad men as "CTC." The building and mainten of double-track lines always has been burdensome. Much of the country never could af ford it, and the single track line used to slow the railroad down enormously compared with the two-way highway. Even limited passenger trains had to be sidetracked and delayed because two trains couldn't go in opposite directions at once anywhere near. Licking that one-track prob lem shows the railroad men are anything but backward. Richter went on to say the railroads are reemerging as the mass producers of trans portation. He admitted they j are largely being driven out of the passenger business but he said their freight tonnage Is growing again steadily -piggy back tonnage jumped way over 100 per cent in the first quarter of this year, for example. "Without mass transporta tion such as only the railroads really can provide, our mass production industries are use less, he said. So Richter sees the railroads coming back as a growth in dustry with a big potential to investors. But like Nickerson, he said the railroads are entitled to a much better attitude from government and the public on taxes, and to an end of dis crimination in favor of their competitors.

Ev eryone but Joan agreed it would be better at Helen's home. Joan finally refused to come to the party. I could recite a hundred in cidents like that. I think Joan's childish. Joan R. - I don't think it's childish to have a mind of your own and be willing to put up a fight for what you think is right. In the particular incident Peter relates, for example, I had very good reasons for wanting to entertain the fam ily at my house. I know Helen likes to show off with her new home and expensive kitchen. But I am a better cook and entertain in a nicer way. Why should everyone go to her home Just because fht has more money? Peter always finds fault with me for being stubborn, but in the end he sees I am right. He admits his sister is a show-off, but thinks it's O.K. to give in to her. Why isn't it just as right to give in to me? I don't get it. e e The Council: Stubborn indi- he misused union funds.

They fear that change or flexibility will expose them in all their weakness. They use their rigidity as a kind of fortress to protect them selves from those they see as bigger and stronger. In the incident cited, we gather their was a family dis cussion as to the best place to hold the party. The family agreed that for this occasion his $50,000-a-year post. Court- warm and kindly, she would have gone to the party and chosen another occasion to en tertain the family at her home. Joan's sense of competetive ness with her sister-in-law re veals much about her real character. She has a strong feeling of inadequacy and must continually bolster her- Helen's home was best. Joan I self by telling herself she is felt so slighted by what she took as a snub she was unable to put a good face on the mat ter. This is, indeed, childish. Helen's underlying purpose in having the family at her home may well have been to "show off," but Juan shows she was at least as eager to show off. This is not true gen erosity and Joan revealed her own meanness and pettiness of spirit by withholding her presence. It was the one way she could call attention to her self. If her motives had been "right" about various things or has more skill than others. The woman who is sure of herself is also capable of ap preciating another point of view and the abilities of oth ers. Joan must be a rather un happy woman. She should strive for a broader point of view. A fair appreciation of others may help her gain a little more confidence in her self. (Copyright 1960.
