Solon Describes
orts Bill as
'Unwarranted'
Washington -(UPD- Sen. 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."

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.

Last Saturday's opening of
the high lakes was one to
write home about, If your
hands weren t too frostbitten
to hold a pen! 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.

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.
