John Marshall Butler (R-Md.) de clared today the pending base ball bill would be "harmful to the sport, perhaps fatal." He pledged to oppose it "at every stage of the legislative proces." Butler Is a member of the Senate judiciary committee which currently is studying the measure offered by Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.). In a statement, Butler said the measure was "unwarrant ed" and would attempt to tell the major leagues ' how to op erate their business." He said he was sure it would, in the long run, destroy baseball's basic strenglh-a minor league complex to develop major league players. Butler said the bill seemed to be designed "to an amaz ingly transparent degree, to aid a specific group - the or ganizers of the proposed Con tinental league." SLPdDninrs Eisenhower Appeals For Chilean Relief Washington (UPD President Eisenhower, asserting that suf fering among disaster victims in Chile is "almost beyond comprehension," appealed to all Americans today to con tribute generously for their relief. He said In a special state ment issued by the White House that it will take years to overcome" the loss of life and material wealth from earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that have made a shambles of the South Ameri can nation. The White House an nounced that 10 American helicopters were being sent from Panama today to help In evacuation work along the Chilean coast. Automobile Exhaust Study Bill Passed Washington -(UPD - The Sen ate has passed and sent to the White House a bill directing the government to make a study of the effect of automo bile exhaust on the public health. The measure requires the surgeon general to submit a report to Congress on the study within two years.

A positive way of looking at it would be to consider it a training to ac- climating period for those who would like to take up winter steelheadlng. Or for those who think survival training Is Important it was a good opportunity to find out how long it takes for numb ness to become painful. Satur day was an experience for everyone, no matter what his reaction. AN EXPLANATION A comment was made in last week's column regard ing the wastefulness of the present method of putting hatchery - raised trout into streams. There are many fisher men unacquainted with the research and sta tistics supporting this point of view and they defend hatchery planting without realizing that their license dollar could be spent on values which give a greater return to them. AN EXPERIMENT The most quoted work is the result of an experiment conducted in Canada several years ago. A section of trout stream was fenced off and all fishlife removed from it. Then 200 legal-sized hatchery fish were placed in the closed area and left for a year. There was no fishing allowed and all fac tors were controlled except those occurring naturally. At the end of a year the area was cleaned out and result in a total of 3 survivors! The stream was stocked for a second time with 200 wild fish. They were left for a year and it was attempted to main tain the same conditions as existed for the hatchery fish. At the end of a year the fenced-off area yielded a to tal of 197 fish! MORE FIGURES! Similar research on sur vival that has been conduct ed by biologists in the Unit ed States indicates that less than 10 per cent of hatchery plants survive the first win ter in a stream. Results var ied from 0 to 10 per cent. In sharp contrast to these figures are those studies concerned with the survi val of hatchery fish when planted in a lake or reser voir. Depending on the slse of the fish when they were planted, from 50 to 90 per per cent managed to sur vive the first winter. STREAM MANAGEMENT It is the consensus of most biologists that proper stream management could provide sufficient populations of wild fish for stream fishermen. The root of the problem is tied in with watershed protection that maintains clean, cold wa ter for the trout in their spawning areas. This is a dif ficult factor to control and is the basis for present hatchery methods. So long as we allow logging right down to the stream bed we are going to have to provide people with the questionable sport of catching hatchery-raised fish that cost more than they are worth. Hatchery methods can be Improved, but until we learn to manuge the land and water we are treating the symptom Instead of the cause of the problem. SALMON COMINGI Some of the boards are being taken up already in the middle section of the Rogue down by Galice. The word from the man who knows is that the best sal mon fishing for the middle section is yet to come. OeU Beach reports indicate that one of the best runs In years and the cannery fig ures seem to prove It. By the first of May 1,313 sal mon were processed and the 10 year average is 1,310. When one considers that the past seven years didn't produce anywhere near this number, it's easy to assume a bit of optimism. THE ANGLER'S LOG Lakes and reservoirs in the Rogue river drainage have the same bag limit applied to them as is applied to streams. This means only two fish over 20 inches may be taken per day. Good management prac tices would indicate that this should be changed to five fish over 12 inches. The larger fish should be caught out of a lake since they are cannibalistic and prey on the smaller fish. Diamond Lake- Opening day provided limits for most of the fishermen willing to face the storm. The fish are just starting their spawning cycle and few dark fish were caught. Any type of lure seemed to work. The camp ground is clear of snow. Fuh Lake -Is very good. Lots of limit catches averag nig 13 to 14 Inches. Deep troll ing is catching the larger fish. Still fishing Is good. Howard Prairie-Reports of good catches continue to come in. Bank fishing off the quar ry is producing. Use single eggs. Klamath Lake - Very few fishermen but only one party skunked since opening day. FF&W are catching 3 to 5 pound fish. Estimated to be the best fishing in years. Lake of the Woods-Excel lent fishing with no water skiers yet. Trolling a frog or yellow flatfish is producing fish up to 21 inches. Some luck has been had casting small wobblers from an an chored boat. Squaw Lakes-Trolling and still fishing is still paying off. FF & flatflish (frog) is best bet. Willow Creek -Not many fishermen but the fishing is good. Still fishing cluster eggs and trolling wooly worms or black gnats are producing limits. Rogue River-Salmon fish ing has produced a lot of fish the past week. Cluster eggs or spoons seem to do the Job. AH indications point to a good season and a run of over 20, 000 fish. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER All streams in the Rogue river drainage will open to morrow. Thursday's paper had a run down on where the Game commission plant ed about 35,000 fish. Per plexed fathers ought to try their youngsters on these in nocents and build up the confidence of the kids. Those with confidence might try the lakesi there are plenty of fish left since last week end. GOOD LUCK1 By MTI COLEMAM UalM Plan International The Davids beat the Coll aths last night and drew up the Pacific Coast league race a notch tighter. Fifth place Salt Lake rose up and belted pace-setting Tacoma, 11-7, San Diego kayoed second-running Sacra mento, 5-2, Vancouver, sneaked by Portland In 10 in nings, 4-3, and Seattle took a twin-bill from Spokane the number three team, 3-2 and 2-1. The "wrong-way" victories did not change the positions of the first three teams in the standings but from fourth place to seventh there was a mass shuffle. Seattle and Vancouver both advanced, the Rainier going from sixth to fourth and the Mountles from sev enth to sixth, while Portland nose dived from fourth to seventh. Salt Lake held pat at fifth and San Diego stayed in the cellar, but both were within shouting distance of the first division. Change Foes The teams change oppon ents tonight. Tacoma goes home to host San Diego, Van couver moves into Seattle, Salt Lake meets Sacramento 'Fleet of Flowers' Set at Depoe Bay Depoe Bay-WPH-The annual "Fleet of Flowers," a Memo rial Day observance to pay tribute to those lost at sea, will be held here Monday and thousands of persons are ex pected to attend. FINANCIER DIES New York-WPB-Wall Street financier W. Thorn Kissel, 74, died Thursday in his home where his wife, Frances, 84, died Wednesday.

Willamette ROTC To Be Elective Salem - WPD - Starting next year, Air Force reserve offi cer training for Willamette University freshmen and sophomore men students will no longer be required. The Willamette faculty, backed by the university's executive committee and trus tees board, made the decision Thursday. Since 1951, the ROTC train ing has been mandatory at Willamette for lower class, men. School officials said the decision to make it elective rather than mandatory fol lowed a deep study of major subject requirements of stu dents in the lower division. Willamette has only the one ROTC program. Titan in Another Successful Test Cape Canaveral. Fla.-flJPD-The Air Force's Titan inter continental ballistic missile made a 5,000 mile flight in its sixth straight successful flight today. But a simultan eous test of the new Midas II missile-detecting sattelite had to be called off. The Air Force said prelimi nary data indicated the Titan met its two basic objectives accuracy of its guidance sys tem and performance of a new Avco-built nose cone, the Mark IV. But a "bonus" test-io see whether the 2Vi-ton spy-in-the-sky Midas could detect the firing, was called off because of technical troubles in the satellite. "It's a great catch," SAYS MR. SMOOTH TO MR.
