Square, Pa. -IUP1I John Barnum, whose name never had been in the golt headlines, led the field going into the second round of the PGA championship today-two strokes ahead of former cham pion Chick Harbert and five in front of favored Arnold Palmer and U. S. Open king Jack Nicklaus. "I'm not too sure I'll slay ahead of them," said the 8 foot, 3 inch 225-pounder from Belmont, Mich., who toured the 7,045-yard Aronimink golf course Thursday in a course record of 66, four under par.

Barnum's Irons Hot Former Masters champions Art Wall and Gary Player former U.S. Open king Tom my Bolt and former PGA title holder Waller Burkemo were among those grouped at 72. While the "name" players did not burn up the course, Barnum did. "My irons were splendid," he said. That they were. He split the pins Willi his short irons and three of his four birdie pulls were from four feet or less. The other was from 25. Harbert, who said he came here "only for Ihe ride," caught fire when he sank a 35 foot shot from a sand trap on Ihe third hole and a 45-foot chip on the fourth. "I realized then I may be here a little longer than I planned," he said. But while Barnum was stealing the headlines, Palmer, the 2-1 favorite, and Nicklaus, the second choice at 3-1, drew the major portion ot the rec ord breaking gallery. Palmer wasn't at ull happy. "My own game wasn't too bad," he said. "But I frit sorry for Dave Marr. After Jack and I putted out, the fans would start running for the next tec, and how could Dave conccn trale with all that scurrying going on." Like Movie House Palmer also complained that his first round was played "like being In a movie house because the press phologra- phrrs slaycd so close lo them, "On the sixth hole." he said, "one of those photographers asked me to move so he could get a shot of Nicklaus' putt.

Rivartid MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Medforb3!kTbibuni SFdDMTS Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss Local residents ought to take a drive out to look at that new park area along the freeway between Gold Hill and Rogue River. It's been reported that there are 5,000 more people going through the valley this year, and it seems opportune that the park was finished in time to ac commodate some of them Certainly there has been a need for more of this type of near-the-frecway resting area that holds more than a couple of picnic tables. Wilh all the prime recreation possi bilities here in southern Ore gon and northern California, it's unfortunate that there are so few spots established for those who wish to camp or picnic. NEW SCENIC AREA The Hells Canyon -Seven Devils scenic area has been established by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Free man in ihe Snake River can yon country of Oregon and Idaho. The new area, aggre gating 127,000 acres on three national forests, includes neus canyon of the Snake river, deepest gorge on the North American continent, and even volcanic peaks, known as the Seven Devils. In hii announcement. Sec retary Freeman pledged thai the area will be managed on a "scenery first" basis. "This country will serve its highest purpose by being made se lectively accessible by roads to that many people cs,n enjoy its breath-taking scenery and by developing campgrounds, picnic spots, and overlooks as needed to enable people to enjoy the area ... As a Scenic Area, recreation and scenery will be considered the prime resources . . ." BIG PLANS Plans call for the construc tion of 53 camp and picnic grounds wilh accommodations for 630 family units. Some will be reached only from the planned 256 miles of foot and horse trails. The heart of the Seven Devils section will be managed for back-country recreation, and about 200 miles of road will be needed to make parts of the area ac cessible to the public. Ob servation poinls are planned at 10 places for canyon and mountain views. Eleven waterfront sites will be de veloped along the Snake River and the lake which will be formed by Ihe impoundment in lower Hells Canyon. Fish ing and hunting, already major recreation uses of the area, will be continued as will grazing and timbering. Logging, the Secretary said, generally will be done before or after the recreation season, wilh slash burned currently and reforestation started promptly. POSITIVE? In order to maintian the semblance of positive think ing it would be appropriate to "Hurrah" the action of the Secretary of Agriculture. The only fly in the ointment is in the contents of the last sen tence. It has been the ex perience of this writer that scenery and logging are in compatible, and that the only people who don't find it so are those who profit from the logging. It appears that there is quite a publicity campaign being conducted that is at tempting to tell the people on all of the fine recreation areas that new roads will opon. but little mention is made of the logging that will accompany the opening of the new areas. It is understand able that some of this logging is necessary, but there is noth- ing positive about this sneaky ! way of trying io get it. ! televised Saturday beginning THE ANGLER'S LOG at 3:30 p.m. and on Sunday That salmon count is slow-, at 1 p.m. on KMED-TV (Chan ly creeping up lo the 311.001V nel 10).

Diamond l.alif Fishins is nlnw ly picking up. The big onei are on thr bollom and wem approachable wilh FKfcW. Evidently there Isn't too much in Ihe way of weeds that interfere with the trolling in the deepest water. Flies are still picking up the little ones. Fish Lake Fishing Is very good. The eastern brook are taking to the satisfaction of many old timers who recall the good old pre-roach days. These line fish are running up to 18 inches, and the rainbow are close behind with 16 inchers fairly common. The resort now boasts of a fine coffee shop that will serve anything from coffee to short order dinners. Howard Prairie The fly fisher man's dream Is realized every day at this lake. The shallow end is producing consistently good fishing for those addicted to fur and feathers. Bait fishermen aren't complaining too much, and the trolling is respectable. Hyatt Lake Best fishing is of the still variety. Early morning and late evening seem to pay off for those who can stick to it. Fish are running from 10 to 18 inches and are taking either light cheese eggs or dark red eggs. From the sound of this one might guess that the fish will take any bait that is fishco consistently. Klamalh Lake Slow for trout. The perch are biting hard and some good sized ones take hold now and then. There isn't any limit on these fish and 13 Inthes ought to provide a fight on light tackle. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER For those diehards who are waiting out the beginning of ihe fall steelhead season there is some diversion available at the mouths of the Rogue and Chetco rivers. It's that or a chance of building up points for an extended hunting or fishing trip.

Coach John Oelkers named has starting lineup for the United States today and in cluded on the list was the slightly ailing 1, 500-meter star, Jim Grelle. There were no surprises in the lineup announced by Coach Oelkers. Grelle has been something of a question mark since in juring a leg during training in - Los Angeles. However, Oelkers believes he will be in tip-top shape to run. Oelkers aligned his sprint ers this wey: 100 meters Roger Sayers and Bob Hayes; 200 meter s Paul Drayton and Sayers; 400 meters-Ulis Williams and Ray Saddler. For the 1,600-meter relay he chose Saddler, Rex Caw ley, Dave Archibald and Wil liams The rest of the starters will be the 1-2 qualifiers from the National AAU meet. Named as standbys, in case they are needed were Dave Weill, dis cus; Pat Traynor, steeple chase; Blaine Lundgren, hurders; and Jay Silvester, shot put. The Russian team was to be announced later today. After that, no changes can be made later than 45 min utes before the start of an event. The long range forecast was for fair weather for the Iwo day dual clave, in which the nations will be clashing for the fourth time.
