' By BILL JENKINS
About every so often I have to
sit' down and explain patiently to
my friends that the reason I
sound so foggy on the phone In the
evening is that 1 have generally
just gotten out of bed.
I'm beginning to think that al
mot everyone in the world except
myself can get along on about two
hours sleep per night. It would
seem so If you were to believe
what vou hear at any rate.
Me, I guess I'm still a growing
boy or something. Ten hours is
the minimum and twelve or uur
teen is s much better figure.
It wasn't always so. In my
younger and better days I was
frequently out on the tiles 'til the
dawn s early light. Thought noui.
inf of doing a day's work after
a night out, either. But It's all
different now. Fill me with good
food and I'm ready to crawl be
tween the sheets.
So that's why I sound like I do
I'm not mad. Just sleepy.
The Oregon Press Photographers
Association is on the hunt for
pretty girl again for their annual
contest. The usual rules win apply,
of course. The young lady muat
be unmarried and never nave
been wed In the past between
11 and 36 yeara of age and be pos
sessed of those physical attributes
which lead to admiration and
whistles In men.
While It may make me out a
traitor to the Industry and bring
down the wrath of the OPPA on
my poor little head I must come
out In the open and say "nuts."
I, for one, am getting a trifle fed
tip with the Idea that every eon-
test must have a pretty girl in It
somewhere, mat every product
most be advertised by a picture of
a tnrilllng-type babe and that ev
ery group must, at one time or
another, sponsor a beauty contest.
This Is not a sign of poor sports
manship on my part, nor does It
show In any way that I am op
posed to pretty girls. Far from
It. I love 'em. If it weren't for
the fact that I have to work for
a living, plus the fact that the
police frown on It, I should like
nothing better than to station my
aelf on a convenient comer and
watch legions of lovely lasses loiter
No, Tm opposed to these beauty
contests on perlectly logical and
reasonable grounds. In the first
place I don't think It's fair to
limit the age the way almost all
of them do. Some of the loveliest
women I know are well alona to
ward the point where they stop
having birthdays. Nor do I think
It rair to limit H to single girls
tmiy. ino Mrs. America contest
doesn t. Again, some of the love.
Heat women in the world are mar
ried.

Reid Impoundment was Intended
as an evaluation or one typical
area, and as a basis for future stU'
dies. The Reld area was selected
because it contained a variety of
habitat types which could be com
oared for breeding efficiency.
The study, additionally, revealed
that soil salinity seriously effects
the growth of plants In the area
plants uaed by ducks for food. The
salt comes Irom suo-suriace ma
rine shale. It carries to the sur.
face in the water table, which is
now higher than occurred natural
ly before the Impoundments were
constructed. Accumulating on the
surface, the salt causes detrimen
lal changes in vegetation. Soli sur
veys can be utilized to eliminate
saline areas in future development,
Keith points Out.
Keith found that early grazing
after impoundments were created
was beneficial to the extent that
It prevented development of cat
tall shorelines, but may reduce
nesting cover on some adjacent
prairie lands. Muskrats eat bull'
rushes planted for emergency cov
er, and other plant species must
be used Instead. Predatlon on
nests and nesting females Is al
ways a problem, with 66 per cent
of the nests and i t per cent
of the nesting- females falling to
predators. Skunks caused more
than half the damage to nests,
and weasels probably took the nest
ing females is Keiths opinion.
Alec (s'uiiiiieKM
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK Alee Ouln-
ness, regarded by many as one
of the finest actors alive, regards
his success with retrained en
thusiasm.
"It's practically all due to lack
of food and plenty of disappoint
ments." he said wryly. "Believe
me, they can be real Incentives."
Critics praise Ouinncss for his
chameleon-like ability to play any
role. Perhaps no actor since the
late Lon Chaney has used so many
disguises.
Alec s roles have ranscd from
the third murderer In "Macbeth"
to Hamlet. In "Kind Heart and
Coronets" he played eight differ
ent characters. In his latest film,
The Prisoner," he portrays a
cardinal, who tights the brain
washing of a totalitarian govern
ment.
I like .variety in life as well
In the theater," he said. "1

aanger or uiat, I make a dash In

Republican would-be presidents to
get into the state primaries too
to give voters a wide choice.
He no doubt meant this as en.
couragement to all of his party's
presidential hopefuls to get active
but It may have had the effect of
chilling their blood. In almost any
state primary against Elsenhower
they'd almost certainly lose.
Newsmen who went to his news
conference yesterday were not
surprised when he left them still
guessing on whether he'll run
again. He said he hasn't decided
and won t for a while.
It was last summer weeks be
fore his heart attack Sept. 24
mat Eisenhower began raising
questions about his health when
asked about seeking a second
term.
In August he spoke about the
eroding effect of the presidency on
the man in the White House and
said, when he had no reason to
expect a heart attack, that the
state of his health would be a ma
jor factor in his decision on run
ning.
That concern about his health
appeared in statements he has
made since then. He has noted
that no man has reached 70 In
the presidency. He'd be 70 three
months before the end of s sec
ond term.
He has said the presidency Is
more wearing than any military
assignment he ever had. He told
newsmen Jan. 9 he would have to
be careful to avoid fatlaue. He has
emphasized his decision would be
Dased on what Is good for the
country.
Along that line he has said It
is a "very critical thing to chanire
governments in this country at a
time that It is unexpected." a
statement which could only mean
it is critical if a president dies in
office or, for health reasons, can't
carry on with his Job.
would be better to open the con'
test to all comers.
If you are looking for more than
beauty you'll never find It through
a oeauiy contest despite their
jeeoie attempts at "requiring"
charm, personality and talent.
When they get the rules down to
something like reasonable then I'll
go along. But not until then.
Shucks, why waste all that time
looking over ten or twelve finalists
in a contest when the beaches are
full of beauties all summer long?
Ducks Unlimited
By KEN McLEOD
Tn the KlamaUi Basin there are
quite a number of members of the
organization called Ducks Unlimit
ed, dedicated to the preservation
of waterfowl on the North Amerl
can continent. While their Interest
centers upon the migratory gnme
birds, all other birds that depend
upon marshland habitat benefit by
the work of the organization. Duck's
Unllmtted'a program to Improve
Canadian duck breeding grounds
has demonstrated Uiat wetland res
toration can be an Imporiant fac
tor In producing more ducks.
Lloyd Keith, a University of Wis
consin wildlife biologist, is the first
scientist to make an Intensive stu
dy of duck breeding on a DU Im
poundment. The study area he se
lected was located In the short
grass plains of southern Alber
ta, known as the Will J. Reld pro
ject in honor of a past president
of DU. DU completed engineering
work on the area In 104 a mri n,.
aubsequent natural development of
umn orrening area was the
chief point in Keith's study,

trlbuted by DU and the R. How-
ara wcoster Foundation. Montreal
through the Delta Waterfowl Re
search Station. During the period
of study, Keith was a graduate
student at the University of Alber
ta, and since that time has moved
to, Ihe University of Wisconsin to
tudy for his doctorate.
The DU program. Keith states,
consists primarily of reflooding old
lakes and marshes that had for
merly been drained for farming
and proved unsuccessful. This
work requires impoundments bv
building dams and dikes, and sta
bilizing water levels on existing
lakes and marshes which are sub
ject to drought and flooding.

The week's good and bad news
on the International balance sheet:
THE GOOD
1. Egypt, land of the Pharaohs.
entered a new period in Its 7,000
year history. Smiling, dynamic
President-Premier Carnal Abdel
Nasser proclaimed a new constitu
tion. Under it, the infant Egyptian
republlo will get Its first represent
ative parliamentary government.
After the overthrow of King Far
ouk, the ruling army chieftains an
nounced a three-year period of
transition, mis period ended Mon
day, and the army made good on
iia promise 10 start tne country
on Its way to full rule by the
people.
J. Soviet Russia announced that
it would formally hand over its
navai Dase or rorkkala to Finland
next Thursday. After World War
II, Russia compelled Finland to
"lease" the south coast base to it
for 60 years. The Kremlin an
nounced last September that It
would give up Porkkala. 39 years
ancaa or time. After next Thurs.
day, the people whom me Russians
evicted from their homes in me
area will be tree to return.
3. Hope rose for a friendly set
tlement of me dangerous Cyprus
dispute. Greece demands that Brit
ain surrender me east Mediter
ranean island, which has become
the most Important Allied military
base in (he Middle East. Advices
from London indicate that Greece,
and Cyprus Greek nationalists,
may agree to wider home rule for
the island, with a promise of the
right of self-determination some
time in me future.
THE BAD .
1. The newly-elected French par
liament met in Paris in an atmos
phere of dissension which fore
boded months of recurrent cabinet
crises. Formation of a strong ma
jority government seemed impos
sible. Whichever bloc forms a cab
inet will be at the mercy of me
Communists, who hold 160 seats In
the 626-sent national assembly, and
the followers of anti-tax leader
Pierre Poujade, who hold 53.
3. The Soviet Russian govern
ment indicated that It planned a
big campaign of Communist pene
tration In Latin America. Premier
Nikolai A. Bulganln-sald In a ques-tlon-and-answer
interview that the
Kremlin Is ready to enter diplo
matic and economic relations with
all of the 20 Latin American re
publics. At present only three of
them maintain diplomatic relations
with Russia Argentina. Mexico
and Uruguay. Officials in Wash
ington had expected the move.
They regard it as an open chal
lenge, especially in the economic
field, to the United States.
3. Communist East Oermany an
nounced me estsDiishment of
National People's Army." Its
basis will be the present highly
militarized "Barracks People's Po
lice." The new Red army will be
coordinated with the Russian and
Russian-satellite armies under So
viet Marshal Ivan Koniev. Its for
mation Is Russia's retort to the
aiming of West Germany of the
side of the United States and its
allies of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. It Is expected that
more than 300.000 East German
youths will be drafted to Join me
120.000-man "People s Police" In
the new antl-AUled army.
