The last report from the Fish

In five transects (areas) the
broods averaged just over four

River 40. Klamath River 120 and
the Klamath Marsh 51 for a total
Of 236 broods.
Compared with last year this is
gain of 30 broods.
Going down the line we find
that Spring Lake is up by eight
broods, Alkali Lake is up by nine.
Sprague River is down by 37,
Klamath River is down by 189

may have effected the figure ma

Lots of tin cans, beer cans,

I remember from my youth that
we always had a supply of lard
pails around. They were, useful for
a wide variety of things. You
could pick blackberries in them

Now that we have entered the

Benjamin Franklin is said to
have been one of the leading man
ufacturers of playing cards in the
18th century. In fact, he used
some of his own playing cards as
insulation in the electrical fric
tion machine which he built in
1731.
Americans play a variety of
card games. The Association of
American Playing Card Manulac
turers estimates they play at leas:
200 dilferent games and that bridge

and poker in popularity.
In Europe Rex Bridge Is becom

Rummy?). Top Swedish bridge
players who originated the new
version say it will replace con
ventional Contract entirely. These
players have re-ranked the cards,
placing the king at the top and th.
ace as the lowest. It doesn't seem
to be catching on in this country,
according to all reports.
A group of Stanford University
students, tired of seeing how many
collegians could jam into a phono
booth, turned to bridge. Forty of
them kept a single bridge gamv
going continuously in relays for
even days. They established what
they believe to be a world's rec
ord for the longest continuous
bridge game. A total of 1M rub
bera was played during the mara

popularity in Klamath Falls.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Con
gress has a wonderful new auto
matic telephone exchange, with
3.444 phones. But an unnerving
discovery has been made. Each
phone has been quietly connected
with just about every city and
most towns in the country.
This communications nrfvanrp
took place without ceremony on
April 14 when direct distance dial
ing began locally.
The first phone hill since then
has not come in. House and Sen
ate officials, on the basis of cer
tain unfortunate experiences

tor a shock.
Meanwhile, in a move born
more of desperation than-hope

makers special supplements to the

subscribers. Members can bring

But it is figured that the lonire

thousands of helpers, to learn of
the new do-it-yourself long dis

Until the advent of direct dis

in the process, made a note on

Most members still are niakine

that all they need do is dial 9.

phone to be called. This kind of
call winds up charged to Capital

Nobody can say.

But even before direct distance
dialing. Roberts said, somebody
was always free-loading on the
congressional phones. For the last
year or so direct dialing was pos
sible to points in the nearby area,
like Baltimore.
The monthly toll for unaccounted
calls under this system sometimes
has run into several hundreds of
dollars.
Lately Roberts has balked at pay
inS tbe bill. He didn't say specifi
cally why. Other sources said one

Poor Poor Man s Philosopher, in
the person of one of America's
foremost architects.
Edward Durrell Stone came to
fame from Fayettoville, Ark.,

Ozarks." In appearance, manner

bassies, industrial plants, private
homes and other structures. His
new medical center for Stanford
University opens next fall. With
linancier Robert Dowling, he is
currently working on a replanning
project lor downtown Akron, Ohio.
Architects generally have pro
nounced views on subjects not
closely related to cantilevers and
free-flowing living space. Here is
Edward Stone on some aspects of
the American scene:
The American Male "I think
woman's job is to rehabilitate
not only the physical appearance
of this country, but the male him
self. She must get him out of a
hula shirt and into a dinner jack
et. At present, while she may be
wearing a lovely, diaphanous
frock, he looks like an unmade
bed or a one-man slum.
titles "Politicians aiwavs

is elected to office, grass wil.

years of Western culture and re
maining content to copy the next-
door neighbor's glass bui.ding,
house, chair, drapery and poodle-

can readily determine whether
ou are modern or not. If you pre
fer a bent chrome chair to a
rocker, or a high-powered car to
horse-drawn carnage, you need
therapy."
The Countryside "Someone
has said that in this era ol pros
perity and overabundance, we
seem to be able to afford every
thing but beauty."
Highways "All hishwavs
hould be free of billboards and
hamburger joints. All should be
tree-lined. Recently, a high offi
cial of the automobile industry
recommended that all trees should
be cut down along the highways
menace to motorists. Per
haps the industry could eliminate
four feet of vulgarity from the
length of the car and better spend
the money creating destinations
lor motorists.
The American Home "Twenty
ears ago we had living rooim
of 20 by 30 feet. Now you can
nly tell a room from a closet
hy the hook strip on the wall."
American Customs "The cur
rent rage for informality in Amer
ican life is a lame excuse for laii
less. It is obviously easier to feed
he children hamburgers in the
back yard than it is lo hav them
sit at a dinner table. This all
stems from California which, by
the way, Fred Allen said was a
fine place if you were an orange.'
Creativeness "If you are jeal
ous ot your ideas, it is a sign
you have too few.
Out-of-doors "Long ago. the
government made the farmer
realize it is unprofitable to plow
land down the hill and let it wash
away. Laws protect our forests.
But I know of no laws that pre
vent us from despoiling our beau
tiful physical heritage. We do ev
erything rapidly in this country
and I think that in 30 or 40 yean
we have converted it from the
most beautiful country to one of
the ugliest.
the American Woman H. L.
Mencken said no man should ever
make an important decision with
out first consulting his wife sim
ply because she is a creature ol
superior intelligence. There is
nothing more terrifying to the
male than a woman with a worth
while cause."
Character Always keep a
few character defects handy. Peo
ple love to talk about your frail
ties. If you must be noble, keep
it to yourself.

New Bishop
Faces Fight
MEDFORD (AP) A move t
locate a Methodist bishop at Se
attle appeared Saturday to face
tough opposition in the Oregon
Methodist Conference in session
her.
The conference was asked Fri
day to memorialize the denom
i nation i General Conference for
a resident bishop at Seattle with
charge over most of Washington
and the Alaska Conference.
This would take the area from
the jurisdiction of Bishop A. Ray
mond Grant of Portland, leaving
him with episcopal charge over
the Idaho and Oregon Conferences
and Southwestern Washington.
George Atkinson of ban Fran
cisco, chairman ol tne Western
Jurisdictional Conference Study
Commission, proposed the memor
ial.
"This is not a personal slam at
the present incumbent," said At
kinson. We believe the job is
too large for one bishop."
The Methodist Lhurcn s West
ern jurisaic.ion presently hat
bishops at Denver, Los Angeles,
San Francisco and Portland.
The move already has been re
jected by both the Idaho and
Alaska Conferences. Bishop Grant
also has urged caution on any
move lo divide the area.

Looking for Clues:
Cuba's Caribbean neighbors
view with considerable suspicion
Prime Minister Fidel Castro's re
cent disavowal of any intent to
meddle in the internal affairs of
other nations. They believe it was
dictated more by practical politics
than by conviction and that Cas
tro realized he would have to se
cure his revolution at home be
fore exporting it to Hait, Nicara
gua or Guatamala. They believe
his decision also was prompted by
the quick action of the Organiza
tion o (American States in curb
ing the attempted invasion o!
Panama from Cuba. However,
they say it is a breathing spell
only and that the Caribbean will
continue to be a powder keg so
long as the crusade-minded Cuban
government offers haven to revo
lulionaries.
Shakeup?
Poland's Premier Josef Cyran-
kiewicz is the subject of this pop
ular story: "Poland would have
been sure of a gold medal in the
last Olympics if we had entered
Cyrankiewicz for the water
events. He can swim in any wa
ters." Nonetheless, reports persist
in Warsaw that Cyrankiewicz is
on his way out and that he prob
ably will be succeeded by Foreign
Minister Adam Rapacki.
London diplomats returning
Irom Warsaw say that while th
Polish1 press speaks less frequent
ly these days of a separate Polish
road to socialism, there is no sicn
mat Wladislaw Gomulka, first
secretary of the Communist Par
ty, is returning four-square to the
Moscow line.
A hitherto unpublished story
about Gomulka is of a clash re
ported to have taken place last
year between Gomulka and East
German Communist leader Walter
t.'lbricht during the latter 's visit
to Moscow. Ulbricht planned a
life-breathing speech attacking
the United States. Gomulka asked
him to tone it down, an when
Ulbnchl refused, the speech was
cancelled despite the fact radio
and TV time had been cleared
and crowd of 2,500 wailed.
Outer Space:
American experts were much lm.
pressed with Japanese know-how
in the missile field and say Japan
has the technical ability to place
a satellite in orbit in about two
years if the government were to
make the money available. So
lar. the government has shown no
interest.
Olympics:
Now that Nationalist China hai
been expelled from the Interna
tional Olympics Committee, Red
China Is expected to make a bid
lo compete in the games. The
Reds are pursuing a slate sports
program that rivals the Soviet
Union's for developing Olympic
caliber athletes. Radio Peiping
said last week that 70.000 Chinese
primary and high school students
are attending TOO "spare-tinn
sports schools." The youngsters
get training in football, basket
ball, track and field, gymnastics,
swimming, skating and table tennis.
