Warne has bowed out as director ot the state Fish and Game De partment to become head of an other touchy state agency agri culture. Gov. Edmund G. Brown appoint ed Walter T. Shannon, longtime deputy of the agency, to head the F&G Department in its fights with various groups. There are many people who think Brown made a mistake when he ' took Warne away from the sportsmen and gave him to the farmers: As an example, Sports Editor Paul ' Zimmerman wrote in the Los Angeles Times: "There ace a lot of folks in California who think presidential candidacy-mind ed Gov. Pat Brown booted one . . . "Bill was only well started on the reorganizational program, and doing a terrific job of it too, when the governor chose to switch horses in the middle of the trout stream." Others called it such things as a "big blow to sportsmen . . ." Why? Warne was appointed in April by Governor Brown to replace Seth Gordon and right away he really took over. He used a soft, but firm, louch. One worker put' it this way: "Warne's moving in was like putting the head on a headless octopus. Right away he called to gether top officials ot the depart ment for a get-acquarnted pep talk. Warne said Brown asked him to "do a job" in directing the de partment and he added: I intend to carry out Governor Brown's in structions." . And then he walked in where most angels fear to tred. He admitted California's deer herd was in trouble but at al most the same time said he fa vored strongly "either sex" deer hunts despite opposition in some quarters. Then when hunting take liit the second highest in history, he pointed out that the best take was in counties where either sex hunts were held in 1956. He pushed for uniformity of hunting regulations and got it. The F&G Commission went along with h'is recommendation for a state wide 10-trout limit. He announced scientists had completed the first phase of a study into the private life of the king salmon inconclusively. But he said that some day it may be possible to improve salmon fish ing. He started a reorganization within the department and the word went out that once a deci sion was made everyone in the agency was bound by it. No more sniping frorfi the precincts. In a-column-written for United Press International, he said frank-1 ly that "our toughest problems are in the line ot 'people manage- ment.' " He said that "too few people actually understand fish and game management." He led a battle to make pollu tion, litterbugs and firebugs a triple target of the department. And he said the programs were bringing forth results. He toured the state, stumping for Fish and Game with sports groups, legislators, and farm ers. He rejected outright a propos al of the $100,000 Booz, Allen and Hamilton report that the state should rely heavily on "jacks of all trades. He established a "Warne" plan for the wildlife conservation board to make certain that the board's $750,000 a year is spent in an orderly manner. Within the department, he opened his correspondence to the top brass and instituted twice a month sessions of the principal of ficers. When it came time for Warne to move out of Fish and Game, he recommended Shannon highly and led Governor Brown to say that Shannon will "give continuity to the fine programs now in opera tion in the department." Shannon has been operating in a top level within the agency since he became deputy director in 1952. And he has been with the depart ment since 1!)3G. . hi V (G)ASTRONAUT What looks at first glance like a cap tured Gulliver from another planet is really something much less menacing.

Brucellosis Rule Tightens Revised regulations governing the brucellosis and tuberculosis testing program in Oregon were announced this week by the state department of agriculture. Revi sions were hammered out in - ses sions of the official state bruccl losis advisory committee and the voluntary brucellosis committee with department officials. They arc geared to the modified certified status the state now holds. One of the major changes relates to the handling of cattle held in herds quarantined for brucellosis At present, some 220 herds are under quarantine of the 34,785 herds on department records. Henceforth, to remove any am mal from a quarantined herd, per mission must first be obtained from the state department of agri culture, one of its assistant state veterinarians or from federal vet erinarians in the field. "Painful experience and expen sive futile prosecutions under the old system with its numerous ex ceptions leads us to adopt the new and tighter program, which will apply to fewer and fewer herds as time goes on, says Dr. M.R Woulfe, assistant state veterinar ian. Another important change pro hibits the home slaughter of Bang's reactors. Such reactors must now be slaughter plants under either state, municipal or federal meat inspection. This means protection for consumers everywhere and eliminates the cost of sending state ; officials Ho farms to supervise the slaughter of reactors. It will also take the confusion out of indem nity payments. Owners will re ceive indemnity when animals are slaughtered at licensed plants. A third major change requires th at all . cattle the brucellosis or tuberculosis status ofwhich can not be readily determined will be tested at the first auction yard they enter. These same animals will require a second test on the ranch or farm of destination in not less than 30 days after the first test. i WELL-KNIT PERFORMERS "Sock" performance is prom ised by garb of Budapest danc ers, who wear elaborately knit stockings when performing their Hungarian folk routines.
