Ramp at Reedsport Ready for Anglers , Portland-A new boat ramp located at the old ferry slip at the end of Rainbow Plaza street in Reedsport is now ready for use providing addi tional access to angling oppor tunities in the upper portions of Winchester bay and the lower Umpqua river. Boat launching facilities already available to anglers in this area include a second Reeds port ramp and a ramp at Gardiner across the river. The new ferry slip ramp is built of prestressed concrete set on piling. It is 30 feet wide and slopes gently into the Umpqua river. Parking is somewhat limited at the site, but Rainbow Plaza street is available with adequate park ing across the railroad tracks about a block away. Ferry slip access is the re sult of a three-way agreement between the city of Roodsport, Douglas county parks depart ment, and the game commis sion. All three groups cooper ated in the project and pro vided funds for construction. The city of Reedsport let the contract for actual construc tion.

Johansson talked Thurs day with an investigator sent here by the Kefauver committee ' and said after ward: "A thousand times I have been asked about this doping,- and a thousand times I have denied it. It has never been my theory." WIDE ATTENTION Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss Several weeks ago it was reported in this column that there was a move afoot to combine the state fish and game commissions. Objection was made at that time to the tentative plan of making the commission's advisory instead of policymaking, with final power resting with the gov ernor. Last week this column reported on the senate bills that would create a depart ment of natural resources over a division of fish and game. These bills, Nos. 3 and 225, were entered at the re quest of Governor Mark Hat field. They were opposed in this column because of their lack of safeguards against po litical pressure. NO END TO IT Now it just so happens that there is another bill that has been entered in the House of Representatives at the request of the interim committee on natural resources. House bill No. 1271 proposes to set up a department of fish and game, consisting of the fish and game commission and a fish and game director. This bill in tends the amending of two laws thai make the present game commission a politically independent,, policy making body. Every sportsman should be aware of these two laws and the rights they maintain for him. They are Oregon Revised Statute: 496.115 Removal of commision members. The gov ernor may remove any mem ber of the game commission for inefficiency,' neglect of duty or misconduct in office. The governor, shall give the member a copy of the charges against him and an opportun ity of being publicly heard in person, or by counsel, in his own defense, upon not less than IS days notice. If the member is removed, the gov ernor shall file in the office of the Secretary of State a complete' statement of all charges made against the member, and his findings thereon, together with a com plete record of the proceed ings. 496.140 Removal of director. The game commission may re move the game director for cause, and shall give him a copy of the charges against him and an opportunity of be ing publicly heard in person or by counsel in his own de fense, upon not less than 15 days' notice. INSURANCE GONE House Bill No. 1271 niakes it so easy for the governor to remove a commissioner that it would end with the man agement of our fish and game being a pawn in every elec tion. And everyone knows that the pawn is one of the first pieces lost in the game. It doesn't make sense to re place laws such as those men tioned above, when those same laws came only after a long, hard struggle to attain good fish and game manaeement. NOTHING FOR SOMETHING The sections of the new bill that would replace the old laws are: (4) A member of the com mission may not be removed by the governor except for in efficiency, neglect of duly or misconduct in office. Section 7. (1) Subject to the approval of the governor, the commission shall appoint a director who is responsible to the commission for the per formance of the functions of the department. The director shall hold his position at the pleasure of the commission and shall receive such salary as may be fixed by the com mission. ' Although the bills that have been mentioned are intended to combine the fish and game Beach State and Cal Poly-San Diego State. Sacramento State meets Chico State, the Cal Aggies are at Humboldt State and San Francisco State battles Nevada in Far West Confer ence games. Talk that Johansson may have been doped before his bout with Patterson last June 20 was given wide at tention after the Swedish former heavyweight cham pion was interviewed here earlier in the week by UPI sports columnist Oscar Fra ley. "I can't say myself that I actually was doped." Jo hansson told Fraley. "But if you are doped, you feel good. That's why people take dope. Well, I felt good but I felt funny. I felt too good. And Patterson never before knocked out any body with one punch." them is based on the manner in which this intention is to be carried out. The question as to whether or not the com missions should be combined is quite another matter and is not a part of this opposi tion. THE ANGLER'S LOG It would be nice to be able to go fishing and forget about bad legislation, but the weather man has been so overly coopera tive that the fish are nrettv wll scattered and lots of fishing water uui ui snape. more rain is on the way.

Smith River Should be in good shape for fishing if there are any fish to be caught below the dead line. That's the trouble with the last half of February, high water takes the fish past the fisherman. i nt OPTIMIST S CORNER There are worse - things than being cold and wet while sleedhead fishing. One such angler found a small shack with a stove conveni ently stuffed with a card board carton. Deciding to warm up until the rain let up, he tried to light the card board but it was too damp. Closer inspection of the car ton sent him back to his fish ing in a hurry the carton was half-full of dynamite and blasting caps.

Sport Parade Miami-HJPD-A pair of pitch ing comebacks will carry his Chicago White Sox to the American league pennant this season, manager Al Lopez predicted confidently today. One will be by Herb Score, he asserted. And the other will be by Cal McLish. "Don't make any mistake," he said as he competed in the ballplayers golf champion ship. "With the new enlarged schedule it's a cinch that pitching will decide the issue and we've got it." The New York Yankees, Lopez feels, were hurt worse than any other team in the league by drafting of players to stock the two new clubs in what is now a 10-team league and lack of pitching should spell their downfall. "They were hurt worse than anybody," he insisted. "They lost Duke Maas, Bobby Shantz and Eli Grba. Then, too, Gil McDougald retired and they also lost Dale Long and Bob Cerv. They'll really be hurt ing for pitching with 162 games to play." 1960 Team Falters Lopez said that he still feels a keen disappointment over his team's failure to win the flag last season. "In the first half of the sea son, our front line pitching was - bad and the bull pen was good," he groaned. "In the second half, our pitching picked up but the bull pen failed." He looks for a good season out of Early Wynn, he ex plained. "Early had a poor first half of the season, but in the sec ond half he was about as good a pitcher as there was in the league. I'm not worried about him." But it is evident that he is counting heavily on McLish and Score, the fireball pitcher who has been ineffective after almost losing his sight sev eral seasons ago when he was struck by a ball off the bat of McDougald. "McLish two years ago beat the Yankees six to one," he enthused. "He beat Detroit, four games to two, and he beat us, four games to one. That's 14-4 against first divi sion clubs.

Expects Comeback As for Score, Lopez says that he "saw signs" last year that "he might be coming all the way back." "This year I think he'll make it," Lopez mused. "He could really be a big guy for us." In addition, Lopez is count ing on Bob Shaw, Billy Pierce, Frank Bauman, Juan Pizzaro and Russ Kemmerer. Wharton Nabs Lead By HAL WOOD Tucson, Ariz. -(UPD- Practice makes perfect - and as long as the wind blows, you have to go for the boys from Texas in the $20,000 Tucson Open golf tournament. - The "big blow" came up Thursday and sent a sand storm swirling over the El Rio Country club course. The re sult, naturally was. that a boy from Texas-slender young Frank Wharton, playing out of Dallas-took over the first day lead with a six-under-par 64. Today, some of the boys who had to play in the wind Thursday drew an early start and may have some better scores. Among these is de fending champion Don Janu ary, who had a first round 72 -11 strokes more than he took in the calm weather on Wed nesday when he shot a 61 in the pro-amateur event. Jay Hebert was in second place with a 65 on nines of 33-32. Tied for third were five longshots, Dave Marr, Sun City, Ariz., Bob Shields, Quin cy. 111., Tom Talkington, Ypsi lanti, Mich., Buddy Sullivan, Yuba City, Calif., and Harold Kneeze, Aiken, S. C.

HURRY IN THIS . 1 GN POMTliC Maryland Wins Over Blue Devils By MARTIN LADER United Press International Duke, bombarded from all sides, is caught in a three-way trap today while Cincinnati appears to have left all its troubles behind. The Blue Devils, who only few days ago were riding high atop the Atlantic Coast conference s t a n d i n gs and were boasting one of the fin est sophomores in college bas ketball-Art Heyman-are now without both following a 76-71 upset defeat at the hands of Maryland Thursday night. Heyman was the first to go the victim of an ACC suspen sion for his part in a free-for- all when Duke played North Carolina Feb. 4. Taking the court without its top scorer, Duke fell before the spirit, hustle and sharp shooting of the Terrapins. Lose Two Straight The defeat was the second straight for the Blue Devils and dropped them behind North Carolina and Wake For est in the ACC race. Cincinnati, which couldn t set organized at the begin- nine of the season, won its 13th consecutive game wun a 67-64 decision over Wichita Thursday night and stretched its Missouri Valley comer- ence lead to a full game over second-place Bradley. Bradley, the only team witn fair chance of overhauling Cincinnati, took an easy 90-74 decision from Houston in a non-conference clash. A near-riot disrupted the Missouri Valley Conference tilt between Drake and Tulsa at Des Moines. The estimated 3.500 fans became so uncon trollable that officials were forced to stop the game to al. low Drake coach Maurice John to ask the crowd for order. The off icials had threat ened, to forfeit the game to Tulsa if the fans continued to litter the floor. Drake event ually won the game, 88-84.

Hurry I WEEKEND -- DRIVE High Jump Stars Meet New York 4UPII Put aside your rockets, men. Instead of shooting for the moon we'll be satisfied with a winning high jump of a little more than seven feet tonight when John Thomas and Russia's record - breaking Valeri Bru mel renew their international duel at Madison Square Gar den. That'll be the feeling in the crowd of 15,000 as the United States and Russia resume the track version of their cold war in tonight's New York Athletic Club indoor track meet. Thomas, the 19 -year -old Boston University student who holds the outdoor (7 feet 3 inches) and indoor (7-3) world records, attempts to make amends for his third- place finish in the Olympics last summer behind the So viets' Robert Shavlakadze and Brumel. Since then Brumel, 18, has gone even higher with a 7-4 Va indoor jump recently from a dirt takeoff track in Lenin grad, breaking both of Thomas' marks.
