Sanctuaries HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Witfnesday. October 5. 1961 PAGES- For Salmon Proposed By JACK HEWTXS SEATTLE i AP) - Sports, com mercial and Indian fishing inter ests in the Pacific Northwest are urging the federal government to set up salmon sanctuaries similar to the wilderness areas defined by Congress for wildlife protection and recreational use. "It is an approach to the prob lem of saving the salmon which will not cost millions of dollars to finance." Joseph T. Mijieh, Seat tle attorney, said Tuesday. He estimated that federal and state agencies have spent upwards of $200 million in the attempt to minimize the effect of dams on migrating fish. Both Mijieh and Edward M. Mains, assistant state fisheries director, urged this approach at the fisheries hearing here Oct. 12 ' of the Senate Interstate and For eign Commerce Committee. Mijieh appeared in behalf of the ; Washington State Sportsmen's ' Council. Oregon Wildlife Federa '. lion. Fishermen's Cooperative As ! sociation. Northwest Fisheries As I sociation. Alaska Fishermen's Un ion, Pacific Fish Conservation League and the Makah Indian ; Tribe. Speaking for the State Depart ment of Fisheries, Mains urged that all remaining tributaries of the Columbia River be set aside as sanctuaries. He said the millions spent on fish passage facilities at Columbia ' River dams "will be wasted un- less the fish have some place to " go to spawn." "If primitive areas are good for forests and lands, they are equal '. ly good for water and fish," . Mijieh said in his statement, which became part of the com mittee records. "Despite the - half century of concentration on setting aside rec reational wilderness areas there has been no parallel attention to the need of the fishery resources for similar protection." The attorney called attention to the action by Washington State, through legislation and initiative. establishing a fish sanctuary of most of the Columbia s tributaries downstream from McNary Dam and prohibiting new dams higher than 25 feet. He cited the unsuccessful bill by Senator Church, D-Idaho. which would have made the Salmon Riv er a fish sanctuary, as "extreme ly farsighted." Mijieh, quoting the Idaho Fish and Game Department, said some 200.000 migrant fish soawn annually in the Salmon River, including 136.000 spring chi nook salmon. "Authority over the waters that produce our salmon and trout largely rests with the federal gov ernment," said the Mijieh statement. He predicted that in another year almost the entire upper Snake River run of migrant fish will have been destroyed by the complex of dams in Hell's Canyon area, arguing that conventional fish passage devices promise only partial safeguards. "One new approach is available to Congress which will not require millions of dollars to. tinance, Miiich said. "It is the legislative reservation of waters and watersheds for the purpose of insuring a future supply of natural, unspoiled, spawning grounds for the production of ana dromous i migrant' fish." Pravda Head Challenged NEW YORK iAP The editor of the New York Post challenged the editor of Moscow's Commu nist party organ Pravda today to print the American's ideas about the Soviet's latest atomic explo sion. James A. Wechsler. the New York editor, offered in return to "make available the same amount of space to you (or any rejoinder i you care to make." Pravda carlir had accepted Wechsler's challenge to publish the New Yorker's views on Presi dent Kennedy. In that article. Wechsler had said the President had no illusion that any nation could win an atomic war but that Kennedy would not allow the I'nited States to accept defeat. In the article he offered today. Wechsler said that "no 'super bomb' can chance the fundamcn-j tal (act of our time that no na tion can hope to achieve real 'victory' in an atomic war." He also wrote that Khrushchev once said that those "who are first to violate the nuclear test ban will cover lherrelves with shame, they will be branded by all the peoples of the world.'
