The occasion was the 50th anniversary of the found ing of the big reserve. I don't know who got the word to the birds but they were there in force. The waters of the lake on the reserve side were literally black with birds. Bands of pintails got up that blackened the sky. It was a hunter's sort of day too. A little on the chilly side and a blustering wind booming in Irom the south, bringing an occasional spit of rain with it. The hunters were there, too, spread out in a regular pattern along the edge of the posted land, waiting patiently for one of the unwary birds to poke a wing over the line. I wouldn't begin to csti mate how many were there. But they all seemed to have at least a few feathers scattered around It caused me to wonder, watch ing those immense bands of birds in one three thousand acre field Jean estimated there were three quarters of a million birds what the country must have been like before the white man came and loused everything up with improve ments. I have read in the journ als of early day travelers about ouch bands of birds but it is some times hard to picture them in the mind's eye. But that difficulty wasn't present on Saturday. Fre niont himself couldn't have seen any more birds. Of course he had one edge. He could shoot at 'cm if he wanted to. Sunday's spit of rain and snow was a shot in the arm to the hunt Ing fraternity. If you didn't think so you should have been out along some of the back roads. The traf lie was terrific. So many cars went by with gun muzzles slicking out the windows it looked like an armed uprising. I was wisllully anxious to go out and take a crack at the last day of grouse season but was al raid to step into the brush lor fear of being taken for a deor and shot down. Quite a few or the lads filled up, loo. Speaking of hunting reminds me that the elves have been at it again. The public shooting area on Shoal water Bay has been heavily posted wilh No Trespassing signs. This seems to occur with monot onous regularity the past couple of years. Doesn't mean a thing, either. Go ahead and hunt. Political Inline By WARREN ROGERS JR. Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON IAP) - Vice President Nixon has taken over direction of the Republican par ty's campaign and, one way or another, it should have profound edect on his personal political lu ture. Nixon could have held alonl and quietly husbanded his strength for the presidential race in 10. In- slead. he chose to pitch in with exertions matching in licqucniy and vehemence his campaign e( forts in l!!4 when, as now, he was not a candidate. The tide seems lo be running rfgainst the Republicans. Demo crats confidently predict big gains in both House and Senate and even control of California, second only to New York in political inipor tance. A Democratic landslide despite Nixon's clloils might tarnish his prospects in 10. By closely iden tilyuig himself with the 11158 cam paign, he has taken the risk of being so deeply snowed under that he might not be able to dig him self out in time lor the Repuhli can presidential nomination two years hence. On the oilier hand, he might he belter olf if he can demonstrate enough political dynamism to nar row the margin of deicat if not stave It olf entirely. In that case he might emerge as the rallying point lor a revitalized GOP drie In I960. Nixon's determination to make fight of it got him involved Inst week In a curious kind ol public debate with the titular head ol the party. President Eisenhower. In the upshot both Eisenhower and his chief Cabinet ollieer. Secre tary of Stale Dulles, backtracked and Nixon had his way. Nixon's campaign otaUiry was slingingly sharp. He accused the Truman administration ol being spendthrift and yet miserly with defense funds, lie said it spent more on peanuts than on mis lies." When the Democrats published manifesto critical ol Kisenhow er foreign policy, Nixon fired hack that "the Achcson foreign pniicv resulted in war and the tisenhow er-Dullcs policy resulted in peace." In Ihe wake of this, Eisenhower and Dulles told their news con ferences they hoped foreign policy would be kept out of Ihe cam paign. They appeared to frown on Nixon's slashing statements. But, alter the vice president had a number of telephone conversa tions with Washington, they an nounced full support for him, Eisenhower sent Nixon a tele gram saying no one could outdo Nixon when it came to defending the administration against Demo cratic attacks on its foreign pol icy. Eisenhower generally has let Nixon do the campaign talking about domestic affairs, and the telegram seemed to give him a go-ahcad in lull. (veiling Awiiy By HAL BOYLE ABOARD THE S.S. BRAS1L AT SEA (AP) You don't have to ride a rocket into outer space today to "get away from it all." You can do it more comlortably and successfully by taking a cruise. The tc'nsions of ordinary lile ashore begin to disappear as soon as the ship pulls away from the pier. You fret briefly over wheth er you brought the right kind of clothes. You arc a bit uneasy over whether you'll get a good seat in the dining room, or a deck chair in the right location. But in another day all these minor doubts disappear. You lind out that as long as you dress sensibly and don't try In storm the dining room in a Bikini, it makes little real difference what you wear or where you sit. The sea breeze is like a bene diction, cleansing your mind and soul of its accumulated land- grime and pettiness of thought and aclion. The endless immensity of wave and sky has a curious double of feet on you. It sobers you with a realization of how small a thing man is physically in comparison with the giant forces of nature At the same time it litis you spir itually, and you sense that some wonderful way you are an eternal part of something larger lhan yourself. It is as if the sea had become a church. The modern oceangoing liner is like a floating city deliberately de signed to make everyone happy. This new 25 million dollar Moore Mct'ormack vessel, the largest ever built for the South American trade, is a good exam ple of why hundreds of thousands if travelers still prefer to sail the ocean rather than skip over it by plane. They cling lo Ihe theory that the real enjoyment of a jour ney lies in the going not just Hie getting there. So this Iwoblock-long vessel was designed to wall out worries and wall in as many comlorls as possible. The Brasil is a minia ture metropolis, air conditioned throughout so you can pick your own climate. It has ail-outside cabins with piped in music. It has a library, a movie with ihe latest Hollywood lilms, a gymnasium, a card room, a night club, a beauty parlor, a barber shop, a hospital and rooms in which you can learn the cha cha or study a foreign language. It carries two ministers. There is something to appeal lo all members of Ihe family. There arc two swimming pools, one lor adults, one lor children. The kids have a special playroom and a wired in play space on deck with s slide and sand box. The teen igers also have their own enter tainment room, equipped with a juke box and a soda fountain. room that pleasantly sur prised many ot the grownup pas sengers is a liar lounge in which a rye and water costs 20 cents, bourbon on the rocks 25 cents, scotch and soda 30 cents. Import ed beer costs 30 cents a bottle. 'Everybody is drinking as if nc were afraid it awould go out of style," said one wag, pointing out that it was inevitable since a chocolate nut sundae cost 35 cents and nobody can afford ice cream." But after becoming convinced the ship wouldn't run dry, even the serious drinkers have settled down to their normal intake. Southward we plough under se rene skies by day, through trop ical waters phosphorescent by night. Nobody troubles about the hydrogen bomb, there are no po litical speeches lo listen .to, and who misses television when he can look up at the stars? There is a phone in the room, hut it doesn't ring. There are no traffic jams, no parking problems, no trains to catch, and to the best of my knowledge no one aboard ship has been hit by a taxicab. Peace in a wide, wide sea it's wonderful. Sometimes I wonder how life is going with all the poor folks tied to the land. But don't call to tell me call you. I'll Columbus By NELSON REED No one can travel a bit in the Mediterranean and Carribean coun tries and not he impressed by old Christopher Columbus. Somewhat in reverse, we first came across him in his magnificent tomb in the beautiful Cathedral of Seville. There his true remains, you arc assured, rest in an intricately carved massive bronze casket car ried by four heroic bronze figures who represent the four ruling houses of Spain in his day. It was made by a famous Cuban sculptor and presented to Spain by the Cuban government. Then we got back to almost the beginning of his travels at Las Pal mas in the Canary Islands which are in the Atlantic olf Africa. There he went ashore lor lood and fresh water before setting out on his journey into the unknown searching for a water route to the Indies. Next we ran across his tracks in St. Croix1 in Ihe Virgin Islands where he stopped to get fresh wa ter which he was desperately in need of. In his four trips of ex ploration he seems to have Inuched most of the Caribbean Islands. When you fly over the crystal clear water or sail a boat around some of the islands, you marvel al how Columbus could possibly have avoided all the coral reefs whose jagged edges chew up wooden ships like a buzz saw Then you remember that he first arrived in October, the peak ot the hurri cane season about which he knew nothing. In fact he never knew where he was and felt sure that these West Indian Islands were Ihe fabulous spice islands of the Indies. On one ot Ins voyages he thought tor a time that he was going to discover Japan. What drove him on to surmount the endless hard- hips? First of all, greed. As he ex plored island after island, he ex pected to lind great hoards of gold. All he found wore1 friendly naked Indians who told him what he wanted lo hear, with whom ne traded worlhlcss glass heads lor what little gold or jewels they had. nd all Ihe lime he worried on the one hand how he could make Christians of Ihem, and on 'he other what wonderful docile slaves Ihey would make. "Why Spaniards could settle here and live like kincs and never turn a hand And finally we ran across his remains again in Ciudad Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. "The one and only true burial place of the great man," we were told. The tomb in Seville was a "phony" we were assured. And if you are important people you can come and see for yourself on the one day each year, Colum bus Day, when three high digni taries of the church and state, with three different keys unlock the cas ket, and there to the utter conster nation of Seville are some 26 bones of the great man, including a piece of his skull and part of his shin bone. We were convinced, at least un til we deparlcd from the Dominican Republic. One docs not debate such matters in Trujillo land even if one has been to Seville. Ilescue I nil Klamath Falls tTo the Editor) Could the recent tragedy of the Upper Klamath Lake have been avoided? A question that will nev er be answered. It is possible that these lives could have been saved if the family and friends who tried to get help had known owners of cabin cruisers and big runabouts. About one year ago I had a sim ilar experience. One Saturday night during the duck hunting season my phone rang at 9 o'clock. It was my aunt informing me that my uncle and two friends hadn't re turned from a duck hunting trip on the Klamath Lake. I then learned that the state police and sheriff's office are not equipped (o attempt rescue operations on the Upper Klamath Lake. Knowing a few boat owners myself, I was able to get Will Wood and Dr. Hugh Currin to take me out. They were very anxious to help and I under stand that they have donated their services and equipment many times. My wife and family of the other lost friends tried all night to locate other boats to enter into the search. Fortunately, this had a happy ending. All lost persons were found safe. 1 know most owners of boats which are equipped to go out on search parties would be more than glad to do so if only called. My purpose in writing this letter is to compile a master list of boat owners who would be willing to enter into a search on the Upper Mamatn Lake wncn ine emergen cy arises. And the emergency will arise more frequently as we are getting more boats on the lake each year. I intend lo make copies of this master list and distribute them to four or five interested people in Klamath Falls. I will then inform Ihe state police, sher iff's office, cily police, Herald and News, and radio stations of the names and phone numbers of the parties who have the list. These agencies will then know who to call when the emergency arises. The Klamath Air Search and Res cue Unit will have their next meet ing November 12 al which time they will investigate the possibilily of integrating a water rescue serv ice in their unit. If you will please send or phone the following information, we can get a temporary water rescue serv ice organized immediately: (1) In board or outboard cruiser: i2 in board or outboard runabout; (31 horsepower and length: 141 win ter time: Dry docked or mooraged; 151 night equipment and 16) busi ness and home phone.
