Warning Issued on Fish From Great Lakes Hatfield Defends Choice of Nov. 11 To Open Session PORTLAND (UPI) - Gov. Mark Hatfield, returning from speaking engagements in Arizona and California, said Fri day he was surprised at criti cism of opening Oregon's special legislative session on Veteran's Day, Nov. 11. "There wasn't any vacation taken on the battlefront," h e remarked at Portland Interna tional Airport after arriving from San Francisco. Hatfield said he expects a S io 10 day legislative session, based on discussions with the presiding officers of the two legislative bodies. "If the legislators restrict themselves to the single issue of carrying out the people's will as expressed in the tax referen dum, there is no reason why they can't complete the session in that time," he remarked. In San Francisco Friday tht governor told the Common wealth Club he believes former vice president Richard A. Nix on is an "active" candidate for the presidential nomination in 1064. "Nixon is on the track and running fast," Hatfield said. He said he believes the 1060 Republican standard bearer's name will be entered in the New Hampshire primary next spring. He also said he thought that primary would be a wide open race with each potential GOP candidate drawing support.

BUCKHORN United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) The nation's housewives were urged today to destroy all smoked fish known to have been caught or processed in the Great Lakes area. Commissioner George P. Lar rick of the Food & Drug Ad ministration (FDA) ordered the emergency measures into effect Friday night in a move to stem new outbreaks of the deadly type-E botulism poisoning. Larrick said the "destroy" order was aimed at smoked fish products that are "pack aged in sealed plastic wrappers and those that are sold in bulk without any package." Canned fish products are not involved, he said. Study Recent Deaths Larrick issued the order aft er receiving a report from FDA scientists and from an advisory panel of experts who made an independent study of seven re cent deaths traced to botu lism-E and stemming from smoked whitefish processed by the H. J. Hornbos & Bros. lo. at Grand Haven, Mich.

In a notice to wholesalers, retailers and processors, the FDA urged that all supplies of smoked fish products made from Great Lakes fish or proc esscd in the area also should be destroyed. Larrick said that some of the fish could be retained if it could be established with cer tainty that: The fish was heated imme diately after it was packaged in a manner that would assure a temperature of at least 180 degrees for at least 30 minutes in the coldest part of the fish. The fish was frozen imme diately after packaging and has since been maintained continu ously in a frozen condition.
