Fanfare I Jack Morris, according to couple of other sports col umnists in the state, is now property of the New Minne sota Vikings of the National Football league. Details of the shift of the former Medford high athletic great from the Pittsburgh Steelers have been missed here or just were not on the Mail Tribune's news service ,wire over the week end. Mor ris, who was a football and . trackman at University of Oregon after finishing Med ford high, apparently was tak en in the draft set up for the new club. He has played most of his pro ball with the Los Angeles Rams. ' With the move, Jack joins two other ex-Oregon stars, ! Norm Van Brocklin, who will be coach, and George Shaw, ; Quarterback.

HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE By United Press International ; The "hottest stick" and the "best clove" in the National Hockey league are making Toronto's dream of its first NHL championship in 12 : years seem closer and closer to reality. Frank Mahovlich, "T h e Stick," and Johnny Bower, "The Glove," came through with the pressure on again Thursday night as the Maple Leafs whipped the Detroit Red Wings, 5-0, and remained tied with the Montreal Ca nadiens for first place. The Canadiens ripped the New York Rangers, 7-5, with a flurry of five second - period goals. Ron Murphy's second goal of the game enabled the Chi cago Black Hawks to gain a 2-2 tie with the Boston Bruins in a game marked by 23 pen alties.

Chrysler To Stop Claims For Valiant Washington -fflPH- Chrysler Corp. has agreed to stop ad vertising that its compact car, the Valiant, gets 30 miles to the gallon. The Federal Trade Com mission announced Thursday that Chrysler had signed a stipulation barring it from making this and other adver tising claims for the 1960 model Valiant. "The Valiants entered in the Mobil Gas Economy Run did not obtain substantially greater gasoline mileage" than Ford Falcon and Chevrolet Corvair entered in the test, the FTC said. In fact, it said the Valiant exceeded the av erage gasoline mileage of its nearest competitor by only 1.27 of a mile per gallon of gas. While the commission con siders the advertising in ques tion false and misleading, the stipulation does not constitute an admission by Chrysler that it violated the law.

TORNADO DRAWS RAVES Bob Quinney and Dick Ragsdale of the Medford High school basketball team draw raves in Bill Mulflur's Prep-o sitions in the Oregon Journal, Mulflur quotes two coaches, who came out of the second meeting between Klamath Falls and Medford last Satur day but "don't want to be identified as they still have games with the teams volved." It was the opinion of the two coaches that Quinney may be the best in "the state. "He drives the baseline, moves through the lane, hooks and drives off the post, tips well .as anyone . . ." Mulflur was told. It was mentioned that the man-to-man defense battle at Klamath was Quinney's favor, regardless of whether Bruce Brickner or Gary Patske was guarding him. The coaches informed the Journal man that one of the finest shows in prep basket ball is to watch Ragsdale of the Tornado and Wally Palm berg working against each other, both being well-coor dinated and pictures to watch, BACKERS NEEDED Eugene Active club, which has sponsored the state all star baseball games for three years, has declined to con tinue with the series because of loss of more than $1,000 two years ago and $500 last year, according to Bruce Engel in his Portland Ore gonian Prep Patter. Inclement w e a t li e r was blamed for the financial set back in last year's three-game series. Coaches around the state reportedly regard the star games as being a good thing for high school ball and would not like to see them discon tinued. There are interests at Eugene, principally . Mel Krause, North Eugene high coach, and Hugh Luby, gen eral manager of the Emeralds baseball club,, trying to line up all-star backers for this summer. Feeling has been ex pressed that the games should be staged later in the summer to avoid the chance of rain. One of the troubles over past seasons, as we see, it has been lack of publicity, at least outside of the immediate Eugene area. COACHES IN CANADA Don Fair in his Northwest Notes in the Oregonian men tions that Bob Hamilton, one time Medford high hoop men tor is coaching in Canada. His team is the Lethbridge, Alia., Chinooks.

St. Bonaventure Thumps Bradley Quintet 75-61 By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International St. Bonaventure formally accepted a bid to the NCAA basketball tournament today, aiming specifically for another crack at top -ranked Ohio State after handing second ranked Bradley its first defeat of the season. The third - ranked Bonnies from Olean, N.Y., officially became the first entry in the 24-team NCAA field by ac cepting an at-iarge berth less than 24 hours after wallop ing Bradley, 75-61, at Madison Multnomah Urged As Food Test Area Portland - HIPD - The Ore gon Public Welfare Commis sion Thursday asked the state's congressional delega tion to urge that Multnomah county be made one of the test areas for a federal food stamp plan for distribution of surplus foods. The commission made the request after President Ken nedy announced the food stamp plan would be tested in four Eastern areas and one area yet to be selected. The request was made in a telegram from Jeanne Jewett, state welfare administrator. The Oregon Independent Retail Grocers Association also urged the congressional delegation Thursday to look into the immediate establish ment of a federal surplus food distribution program in Oregon, OLYMPIC CHAMP HERE Rafer Johnson, above, Olym pic champion and world rec ord holder in the decathlon, will address a youth leader ship dinner this evening at First Presbyterian church, sponsored by the Presbyte rian Youth fellowship. The dinner is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. On Saturday at 7:30 a.m. Johnson will speak at a break fast at Rogue Valley Country club for businessmen, stu dents and others. Woods, Water, Wildlife ' By Hank DeVoss The game commission has answered the mumur of pub lic opinion to such a degree that it's a safe bet that the only unhappy people are those who asked for the deadline chanee on the Applegate river. Everything is rosy, so rosy that if one had a suspicious mind he might suspect that the game commission is pub licly preparing for the coming battle to merge the fish and game commissions. CHANGE AND NO CHANGE The early opening of April 22 is scheduled for the upper Umqua river and the Rogue above Laurelhurst bridge as well as Big Butte creek. Bait fishing will be the method, among several others, still sanctioned for Diamond lake. The Applegate river is still open to winter steelhead fish ing up to the mouth of the Little Applegate river. And the Hellsgate deadline re mains for another year as the uooer limit to winter steel- head fishing on the Rogue river. A TOUCHY ISSUE : The house bill that initiated John Dellenback to the trials of a state legislature, No. 122B, has much more to commend itself to local public interest than the manner of its spon sorship. The original purpose of the bill was to allow the game commission to use some of the waters of Big Butte creek for fisheries manage ment. Since the city of Med ford had exclusive rights to the waters for municipal pur poses, a change of the original law was necessary, to allow the game commission to build a streamside rearing pond in the drainage area. FINAGLING Somewhere between t h e time that the game commis sion submitted the wording of the bill that would enable their use of the water and the deliverance of the bill to com mittee, there was a quick change of the bill. Perhaps the word finagle is a poor choice, but the fact remains that the change of the bill was very much like a slick card trick. Square Garden Thursday night. St. Bonaventure, which ap peared in the NIT for the past four seasons but never before has played in the NCAA, has won 16 of its 17 games this season. The only blemish on the Bonnies' slate is an 84-82 defeat at the hands of the Buckeyes in the Holiday Bas ketball festival finals on New Year's Eve. The "rematch" between St. Bonaventure and Ohio State, which has won all 15 of its games so far, hinges on the Buckeyes winning the Big Ten title, which they appear likely of doing, and both teams advancing past the NCAA regionals. Gold Reserves in Britain Increase London -(UPIU British gold reserves rose by $14 million in January, indicating a fall ing off in the rate of "hot money" influx from the United States, the Daily Tele graph said today. The Telegraph said that gold reserves rose to $31 billion. "While the inflow of hot money has dried up, no re verse movement on any scale has developed," it said. "Nor is there any reason why it should just yet, while short term interest rates are high in relation to New York and Frankfurt." On the market, gold closed at the equivalent of $35.25-35 as against $35.30-40 overnight. L MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORDvVTsrBUNK SIPdDMTS Theatre Television Of Ring Title Bout Will Be Seen Here The third world heavy weight title boxing bout be tween Floyd Patterson and Ingemar Johansson will be shown on closed circuit television at the Craterian theatre, Robert Corbin, man ager here for Oregon Cali fornia Theatres, has an nounced. The bout is scheduled for Monday, March 13. at Miami, Fla. It will be at 7:30 p.m. (PST). There will be no free home TV. This will be the fifth live theatre television showing of boxing at the Craterian. Both previous Patterson Johansson bouts were pre sented as were two matches This fact, coupled to another dealing with the speed with which the bill got through committee and was on the floor under conditions that guaranteed its passage, leads one to wonder if anyone was supposed to notice the change before its passage. NO LIMITATION The changed wording amend ing the original law reads as follows: 'provided that the City of Medford, under such condition as it may prescribe, may permit other parties to impound and use the waters of Big Butte creek for other purposes until such time as the City of Medford, in its discretion, determines that the waters so utilized by other parties are needed for munici pal purposes.' The difficulty with this 'other parties' bit is that there is no limitation to what kind of use or how much use of the precious waters of Big Butte. This creek is one of the best salmon and steelhead spawning tributaries left, and to pass a law at this time that would not spell out some man ner of limitation' could doom the creek to bone dry extinc tion. There are enough people stealing water from our fish ery resource without giving it away for y the same purpose. Who is the originator of this finagling? Is it the some one who is taking the blame? If it is an houest mistake, the quickest way to rectify it will be to return the bill to its original intent. THE ANGLER'S LOG Those anglers who had their fishing day spoiled last Sun day on the Rogue have the Kiewit Construction company to thank for it. According to the latest word from the man who knows, if the muck from their gravel washing opera tion fouls things up again, irate complaints from those affected will change the time table of operations. There is a law protecting the people and their water, and it can be en forced if enough pressure is applied. Applegate River Is high and muddy with more rain forecast. If things don't Ret too much wet ter a well-soaked gob of crrs might do the job by Saturday afternoon. That Is if the winter run is in. Illinois River Has been going up and down like a yo-yo. II might be flshable by Saturday. A lot de pends on how much rain falls be tween now and then. The fish are there. Gob eggs are best bet. Klamath River Has had the least amount of rain and might be in flshable condition. Things were quite slow last week end, trn fish that were caught were small and dark Rogue River Has nan a lot oi mud thrown in it and might be fishable sometime next week. Those umtcen fish have gone on upriver and a fresh batch should be show ing up when the water clears. They might be bigger too. Smith River Reports say that the river has been quite high up to the trees In J. Smith State Park. It clears fast and should be avail able sometime this weekend, I hope. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNKR One of the greatest problems we havi. to face is the crowing lack of enough water. It is a problem that ran he solved II we are willing 10 work for the solution. A worth while conservation project for this area would be to see Mat ine county gives the local watermaster enrugh help so that he can prop erly carry out his duties. There are quite a number of landowners without water rights that are taking water from adjacent streams because no one stops them. They can be stopped now, but it might be more difficult later I GOOD I.UCK!

JFK's Message Receives Praise Moscow - (UPI) The Soviet magazine New Times Thurs day praised President Ken nedy's State of the Union mes sage and commented favor ably on other actions of the new administration. In an editorial, it saw the message as an intention to improve the international atmosphere and Soviet Amer ican relations. It also approved Secretary of State Dean Rusks state ment that the President has not ruled out a meeting with Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Kennedy's order from banning generals and admirals from making "inflammatory" speeches.

Role ol Social Worker Reviewed Role of the psychiatric so cial worker in "helping people figure their own way out of things," was brought out by Thomas Goff, psychiatric so cial worker for the Southern Oregon Family and Child Guidance clinic Wednesday in a talk to Medford Kiwanians at their noon luncheon at Rogue Valley Country club Goff declared that there Is no such thing as perfect ad justment or perfect happiness and spoke of the task of the psychiatric worker in helping people alleviate their burdens. The guidance man pointed to the social changes resulting from developments in com munication and from mobility of people, from industrializa tion and movement of people to larger towns away from the close security of family groups. On the matter of delinquen cy increase, Goff asked the question, "Is there?" and re marked, "It is a statistical thing." Doug Philips, program ad vertising chairman for the Kl wanis Kapcrs, reported $4,870 realized so far of the $6,000 goal. Kiwanians will have their wives as guests at the Feb. 8 meeting. It will be a Valen tine luncheon. Federal Aid for Airpor Awaits Program Renewa Airport Manager Gil Gut - jah said this week that Med - ford's application for federal funds to assist in extending the main runway at the city's municipal airport will have to await renewal of the fed eral airport aid program. Gutjahr said the 'ederal Arcutics admin istration (V.4..4.) rai out of airport aid in 10, and noted that it will take an act of Con gress to refinance the pro gram. He declined to gue.aj on just how soon such ;t:tiu can be ctpected. He pointed out that the Eisenhower admin istration asked Congress for a $40 mil lion appropriation for airport assistance for the 1062 fiscal year. Sen. Mike Monroney (D-Okla.), however, recently introduced a bill asking for $100 million for the year. Commenting on this Gut jahr said: "If the legislation that Monroney has introduced is passed, then our chance of getting aid will be greater than if the past administra tion's budget is adopted." However, there is a great demand for federal airport aid, Gutjahr pointed out .Of the 3,579 publicly owned air ports in the United States, 1,464 of them, including Med ford, are planning projects costing $1 billion. Of this, slightly less than half may be asked of the federal govern ment. The city submitted an ap plication for federal partici pation in a $1 V4 million run way extension project in 1950, but the FAA never acknowledged the application as received. Since then the aid program has expired, and the city will have to renew its application if and wncn the program is continued. Gutjahr said an extension of the airport's 5,417-foot run way is necessary if the airport is to be able to serve large commercial aircraft. He said it is proposed to extend the runway for another 3,750 feet, making a total runway length of 9,167 feet. The estimated cost of ex tending the runway, and re locating such facilities as landing lights, is $1V4 mil lion. Judging from past aid programs, Gutjahr believes the government could allo cate about $800,000 of the cost. However, he pointed out, the government will decline to furnish even that amount until it has been assured that the city can raise the rest of the money itself. This could be done by bond issue. Any state participation In the project would be neglig ible, he said, unless the State Aeronautics board changes its TO VISIT GUINEA Moscow -(UPU- Soviet Presi dent Leonid Brezhnev will visit the African nation of Guinea within the next two weeks, the Soviet Tass news agency announced Thursday night.
