No. 144
Hatfield had asked Game
Commission Chairman J. W.
Smith if the commission favored
closing the waters.
Smith evaded answering.
Biologist Opposed
Earlier fish commission biolo
gist Dr. Don Chapman had clos
ed his testimony by stating he
recommended keeping the state's
waterways open to commercial
fishing.
Chapman's comments were
joyfully received by two bus
loads of commercial fishermen
from Astoria who were among
the 200 who attended the meet
ing.
Chapman said closure of the
Columbia to commercial fishing
would mean the fish would be
caught elsewhere, there would
be a substantial increase in
spawning, and an increased
death rate among juvenile fish.
He said an increase in the
spawn would not necessarily in
crease the fish harvest substan
tially because of the condition
of the spawning grounds.
Hatfield told Smith, "I think
it's time you rcstudy the individ
ual agency positions and respon
sibilities, there is a great in
terest in this issue. I want an
answer from the game com
mission." Meanwhile, an appeal was
filed in the Oregon Supreme
Court Wednesday protesting
Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton's
ballot title for the proposal to
close inland waters.
The appeal was filed by Wil
liam E. Westerholm, secretary
of the Columbia River Fisher
man's Protective Union, James
C. Cellars, secretary of the Co
lumbia River Salmon and Tuna
Packers Assn., and by the as
sociation. The title reads: "Purpose:
Prohibits commercial fishing for
salmon and stcclhead in all Ore
gon inland waters, including
boundary rivers. Prohibits all
commercial dealings in fish
taker illegally."
The appeal asks that the last
sentence read: "Prohibits a 1 1
commercial dealings in such
fish taken in prohibited areas."

Yank Student Says
Russians All Over
The Place in Cuba
Russians Live in
Own Walled City
New York (UPD Rus
sians are "all over the place"
in Castro's Cuba, an American
student just back from there
reported today. They avoid the
use of uniforms, he added.
Dick Riemann, 27, of Yonkers,
N. Y., en route to a San Fran
cisco Bay area teaching job,
said the Russians traveled in
groups and did not mingle with
Cubans.
He said they lived in a "wall
ed city" of their own in Regla,
a fishing village across the bay
from Havana, and had thcinl
own house of pleasure. The
fortified area in which they live
is off-limits to all but a hand
ful of Cubans with special pass
es, he reported.
Spenl Seven Weeks
Riemann was one of 59 Ameri
can students who spent seven
weeks in Cuba as Castro regime
guests. He said he "volun
teered" for the trip "because I
knew the type of group that
was going and wanted to lend
some balance to it."
Also, Riemann said, "I thought
the Kennedy administration was
downgrading Cuba which, in my
opinion, is our No. 1 problem
... I feel integration comes aft
er our national security . . ."
City Fortified
Under Fidel Castro, Havana
has become a fortified citv, Rie
mann said. He said rapid fire
antiaircraft batteries dotted the
capital and were even installed
atop Havana s hotels.
The food in Cuba "is nothing
short of abominable," Riemann
said. "It has no taste at all."
He said this was true even
though the students, as Ameri
can guests, got special rations.
"When the Cubans are down
to rationing rice and beans,
their basic staples, you can im
agine the shape they're in," he
said.
Legislature Cost
May Be $1.8 Million
Salem (UPD The 52nd leg
islative assembly has already
cost the taxpayers $1,314,827,
and the total is expected to top
$1.8 million before the end of
the biennium.
If a special session is hold
this fall, the total could go even
higher.
Tue 1061-6.') legislature cost
$1,267,323, and the 1959-61 legis
lature s operating expenses to
taled $959,209 about half the
cost of the 1963-65 legislature.
Higher pay for lawmakers en
acted earlier this year accounts
for most of the increase.
Legislators formerly were
paid $1,200 a biennium, plus
certain expenses. The 1963 leg
islature raised the scale to
$6,000 a biennium and expenses
of $20 daily for a maximum of
120 days each session.
If a special session is called,
the $20 daily expense allotment
will be authorized again.

Three Birmingham
Closed Following Bombing
By United Press International
The Birmingham, Ala., school
board today closed three deseg
reualcd public schools at the re
quest of Gov. George Wallace.
The action came about five
hours after 1,000 Negroes, en
raged by the bombing of a
Negro attorney's home, rioted
in Birmingham streets, leaving
one man dead and at least 19
persons injured.
None Seriously Injured
The rioting occurred about
seven blocks irom tne oray

two Negroes attended Wednes
day. The explosion shook up,
but did not seriously injure, the
family of civil rights'lawyer Ar

Wallace said early today that
the Birmingham education
board had "acceded" to his re
quest that the three schools he
closed temporarily. He said the
board also joined a petition
filed by six persons to stay the
federal court integration order.
Wallace, who had dispatched
200 state troopers to Birming
ham Tuesday and then decided
not to block school integration,
called the violence a "tragic
thing." Sources in the capital
at Montgomery said 600 Nation
al Guardsmen had been put on
standby alert in Birmingham.
Birmingham police refused an
offer of help from the troopers
and brought the situation under
control nfter two hours of bat

Opposition From
Both Sides Greets
Senator's Idea
Pact Declared
Peril To Peace
Washington - (UPD Sen.
Burry Goldwatcr (R-Arir.) pro
posed today that the nuclear
test ban treaty be conditioned
on removal of all Russian troops
and missiles from Cuba. The
suggestion for a reservation to
the pact was greeted with a
wave of opposition from both
Democrats and Republicans.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield, a staunch trea
ty advocate, said Goldwater'S
proposal would mean "a iiiis
chievous toying with the health
and the hopes of the people of
the United States."
Said Peril to Peace
Goldwater, the current Repub
lican presidential front - runner,
told the Senate that without his
Cuban reservation, the treaty
"is a potential peril to peace
rather than a step toward it." '
His proposal would postpone ef
fectiveness of the pact barring
all but underground tests until
Russia had removed all Soviet
missiles, warheads, and mili
tary and technical personnel
from Cuba, with verification by
inspection.
Goldwater's speech outlining
his proposal brought critical re
action from several Republicans
as well as Democrats.
Sen. Gordon Allot (R-Colo.),
suggested that the "psychologi
cal moment for such action
passed when the treaty was
signed at Moscow.
Would Require Renegotiation
Sens. Jacob K. Javits and
Kenneth B. Keating (both R-
N.Y.), said they favored ratify
ing the treaty as it stands be
cause any reservation would re
quire renegotiation. And, Keat
ing said, "This might well result
in defeat of this treaty."
Mansfield and Javits both
pointed out that a U.S. reserva
tion such as Goldwater propos
ed, would probably bring on
reservations by Russia and pos
sibly others of the 80-odd other
signatory countries. And then,
thev said, "we will be back
where we started from with
each half urging the disappear
ance of the other even though
nuclear disaster will provide
for the extinction of both."
Said Ill-Considered
Senate Democratic Whip Hu
bert H. Humphrey (Minn.),
called the Goldwater proposal
"ill-timed, unconsidered and il
logical." He added that it did
not represent "constructive pol
icy, but rather partisan mis
chief.
Goldwater contended in reply
to both sides of the aisle that
"no damage" would be done in
his opinion if the treaty had to
be renegotiated.

A member of the Jackson

staff reported that eight cars
which had been outside the

District Attorney Alan B. '
Holmes had written the county
court recommending it write the

the violation of regulations.
Until the new law became ef
fective the state did not have
the power lo revoke wrecking

explained, although it could re
fuse to renew a wrecking yard
license.

charges that the area outside
the main fenced yard section
of the yard in question is larg

and contains more wrecked ve
hicles than permitted by law.
