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.

Quinney's favor, regardless of
whether Bruce Brickner or

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.

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.

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

Role ol Social
Worker Reviewed
Role of the psychiatric so

figure their own way out of
things," was brought out by
Thomas Goff, psychiatric so
cial worker for the Southern

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."

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

He cautioned, however, that

on the city raising the rest
