Gill Disease
May Clean Out
Eastern Brook

A number of fishermen have be-
come alarmed over the finding of
dead fish on some local streams and
the catching of others that were APP
parently infected with some disease.
Samples of trout caught in Parmen-
ter creek were taken to K. M Boyes
by Glen Leckrone, and he in turn
took them to George Ripley at the
state fish hatchery for his expert
opinion.
Ripley states that the fish are
suffering from gill disease. This
ailment seems to be confined to
Eastern Brook and does not bother
other species. 1t develops in the
Eastern Brook during periods Of
low water, such as prevailed last
fall, says Ripley. The Eastern
Brook has tendency to favor the
area just above the bottom oil
streams and this tendency is mag
nified by low water; also by deer
freezing of the water, which wa:
prevalent last winter. Under such
conditions, the trout inhabit water
that is heavy with silt at the bot
tom OF the streams, ana the gill
become diseased by this silt. II
the weakened condition that fol
lows, they become heavily infected
with teaches and many of them die
Mr.. Ripley says the disease viii
probably kill off most Of the East
ern Brook in local waters. This i
not to be greatly regretted, he says
as he and many other sportsmel
now believe it was mistake to in
troduce the Eastern Brook into tn
streams of this district. He furthe
says the gill disease is found no
only in the Libby district but ais
in the Eureka area.

Must Not Fish
Within 300 Feet
Below Dam

Now that the fishing season
is about to open, fishermen
should take notice of a small
but important provision OF the
law that they have apparently
forgotten, says Deputy Game
Warden Wiley. That provision
is one that prohibits fishing
within 200 feet below all dams.
Wiley says he has found b
number Of people violating that
rule and when accostcd they In
variably plead complete ignor-
ance Of that particular provi-
sion OF the law. Therefore he
has requested that this notice
be given to the public.
Remember-the law prohib-
its fishing within distance of
800 feet below = dam.

Gen. McNarney Calls
u. 5. Troops Superior
To World War AEF
Men Now on Moneuvers
Considered Ready for

Py the Associated Press

WITH THE U. s. ARMY ON
CALIFORNIA DESERT MANEU-
VERS, Oct. 3.-American soldiers
now in training on the California
desert and other maneuver areas
will be ready for offensive action in
1943, 1t. Gen. Joseph T. McNarney,
Army deputy chief of staff, said to-
day.
Gen. McNarney, in the desert to
observe the war games being con-
Quoted by Maj. Gen. Alvin C. Gill
lem, jr., said that 10 months after
Pearl Harbor, three times as many
soldiers are overseas as were sent
across during the first 10 months Of
the World War.
Tactical units now overseas, he
added, are completely equipped and
efficiently trained and "in general
have had IL months of rigorous
training"
Comparing troops that make up
the most powerful Army built by the
United States with those which
composed the AEF of a quarter
century ago, Gen. McNarney said ::
THE contrast between American
troops now in task forces and those
sent to France in 1918 Is tre-
mendous. Not only have the men
now overseas received basic train
ing, but also operational training"
He said the War Department be-
lieved IL months of strenuous train
ing of troops is necessary before they
are considered ready for combat.

I'D Rather Be Right
Reaction to Secrecy Of Presidents Tour
Declared Shocking Display Of Disuniyy

That is obviously an intemperate
statement.
1t is all unnecessary, and I find
it rather frightening. For Thurs
days mess went so deep that it is
now idle to try to figure out the
rights and wrongs of its detail; for
men of good will but one task looms
out of that day, and that is to beat
back down the path to unity again,
just as fast and as hard as we can
make it.
Speak for U. S. or Be Silent.
I say when you speak about
Thursdays unhandsome events,
speak for America, or keep your
peace. What happened to US? How
did that veneer crack, so that sud-
denly ancient bitterness was re-
lighted, and there was Congress at
tacking the President, the President
attacking the press, the press pro-
testing and attacking the President
and the President attacking Con-
gress, all in a miserable rondelay
that was q true vacation from the
war, and with some of the figures
wrong, to make it worse.
One newspaper, I will not men,
ton its name because I am sure
it is ashamed of 1t by now, even
stopped SO low as to quibble about
the work-time lost when the Presi-
dent goes through factory. Speak
for America is the only answer that
can be made to such an attack.
We must begin to pick up the
pieces of Thursday at once, on the
basis of common agreement that
perhaps a censorship mistake was
made, but it wasn't that impor-
tant; and we must hide from our
children the knowledge that we so
eagerly embraced a furlough from
our crisis, and seized chance to
belabor each other, almost forget
ting Hitler, who had made an ex-
ceptionally ominous speech the
day before.
1t just wasn't that important.
And there is a way of discussing
mistakes without falling on them
with that special glee which almost
shows gratitude that they have
been made, to give us this sweet
chance to relive the furies of 1887
I say that censorship is of some
moment, and the Presidents
charges were of some moment, but
the biggest news story of Thursday
was that on that day we staged a
shocking demonstration of disunity
If we are not careful with this, our
republic, that is what the history
books may remember when the
Presidents tour is forgotten.

This Changing World
Turks Held Unlikely to Go Over to Axis
Despite Trade Agreement With Berlin

Our own needs, coupled with our
commitments to Russia and Brit
ain, are such that we can spare
only a small amount of equip
ment Tor the friendly Turks.
The fact that deal has been
concluded between Ankara and
Berlin on a strictly quid pro quo
basis appears to most of our
officials as a logical and neces-
sary thing.
President Inonu and Premier
Saracoglu have played cagey
game with the Axis since the
outbreak of the war. At one time,
after the fall OF France, it ap-
peared the Nazis might turn
toward Turkey in order to clean
up the Near Eastern situation.
At that time Germany and Rus
sia were still on speaking terms
and a deal for the partition Of
this republic in Asia Minor might
have been reached.
Unlikely to Join Axis.
The Turks played their cards
carefully, and without embrace
ing the Axis cause they managed
to keep their country out of war
by granting concessions to the
Germans. The Germans have
always had a soft spot in their
hearts for the Turks, whom they
hoped to draw eventually into
their sphere by playing up CEN
turies-old suspicious and fears of
the Turks about the Russians.
Berlin is said to have received
some encouragement from An
kara and for a while Franz Won
Papen, the Nazi Ambassador,
thought he had Turkey in his
pocket.
1t is difficult to say whether
this was based on fact. But the
entry Of the United States into
the war radically changed the
situation and today, according to

It Is a sort of vacation from the
war to lather up into a rage about
the secrecy surrounding the Presi-
dents tour. Let's come to order.
After all, this is not criminal trial;
the President has not been caught
stealing chicken. One wonders
about the hot angers lying just be-
low the surface of American life,
when Representative Taber can dash
to the floor of the House on the
Presidents return and call the tour
secret political campaign trip. We
did not look good.
We looked pretty bad in Washing
ton the day the President came
back. 1t was an afternoon given
over to mysterious discontents.
There were those few Representa-
tives "a handful out of hundreds,
however)) clamoring: This tour
was politics!" There was the Presi-
dent, giving the press and radio a
sensationally vague scolding, for
telling the people things which are
not so. What things! Which
writer's? He would not say.
There was the press, itself, rather
blue, and full of pains because it
had not been allowed to print a
word about the presidential tour,
not even in cities in which the
President had spoken to audiences
OF thousands. 1t had to play dumb,
beWildering its readers, or filling
them with sinister thoughts about
political suppression of the story of
the grand tour. In this unhappy
atmosphere there then occurred the
lowest moment of all the movements
of this singularly unbuttoned day.
Mutually Unhappy Mood.
The President said war plants
were working at 81 or 95 per cent
OF efficiency. But a month ago he
had scolded us for producing at only
half our capacity. A reporter re-
minded him that Donald Nelson
had revealed a IA per cent drop be-
low schedule in August. The Presi-
dent appeared surprised, and the
press conference went on, in as mu-
tually unhappy mood as has come
to us since Pearl Harbor.
Back in a thousand cities, mean
while, editorialists, good men and
true, were unlimtering for harsh
attacks on censorship. The New
York Herald Tribune came out fat
footedly in an editorial specially
displayed with the declaration that
the suppression of the Presidents
trip had done more to undermine
our confidence than could the
gravest disaster or any enemy act"

As the situation grows more
strained for the Allies in the Near
East the news that Turkey and
Germany have signed a $13,00O,-
900 trade agreement, under which
Turkish chromium will be ex-
changed for German war ma
terials, is received with anxiety
IN offlcial Washington quarters.
Closer analysis of the agree
ment moderates concern, how
ever, and in spite Of it there is
no likelihood of the Turks hop
Kping on the Axis band wagon.
The Germans are short of
chromium, which is essential in
the manufacture of many war
materials. On their side the
Turks are short of heavy war ma
terial. The transaction was con-
cluded some time ago and pro-
vided that the Turks would start
shipping that raw material either
at the end of 1912 or 1943. 1t ap-
pears however, that not single

all available accounts, the pros
pect of Turkey being coerced into
the Axis system is extremely
remote.
The Turks are suspicious peo-
pie. They distrust most nations
with whom they have dealings
because they fear they all want
something, either concessions to
exploit the country's wealth or
strategic territories.
The one exception is America,
which the Turkish republic feels
has always dealt fairly and with
out any desire to obtain economic
or territorial advantage. They
desire to stick with the United
States as long as humanity pos
sible.

MiI|ion-Man Waste
In War Liquor Trade

Powerful Trust Swoys
Nation, She Declares,
Calling on U. S. to Act

BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 3.-The
president of the Womans Christian
Temperance Union called on the
Government today to look at the
statistics of waste in the liquor
trade"
More than 100000 men could be
made available for essential swar
work from the ranks of the liquor
and beer industries, according to
their own figures, Mrs. Ida B. Wise
Smith of Evanston, ILL.,, national
president Of the union, declared.
"The automobile industry, the re-
frigerator industry, and many others
have been put out of activity be-
cause their facilities and manpower
have been converted to war pro-
duction," she asserted. This is no
time for the Nation to be swayed by
the powerful liquor trust"
(The War Production Board
yesterday ordered all distilleries
still making whisky, gin and
other liquors to stop their manu-
facture by next Thursday and
convert to industrial alcohol,
needed in explosives, synthetic
rubber and other war items. Ex-
cept for a possible vacation" OF
two months a year for making
whisky, the plants will have to
devote their full time to this war
work. About half the industry
previously had been converted for
industrial alcohol)
Mrs. Smith, who announced a cam =
paign for wartime prohibition when
convention sessions of the union
opened yesterday, said action should
be taken at once to put employees of
the alcoholic beverage, syndicate to
work producing, instead of destroy
ing, the country's resources"
Quoting what she said We're brew
ers' figures, the temperance leader
asserted that 2,875, 900 900 pounds of
food produce are used annually in
making beer and 370,000,00O feet of
timber in making beer barrels.
Also used annually, Mrs. Smith
declared, are 40,360 railroad cars to
ship untitled barrels and glassware
10000 tons of steel in beer kegs and
many tons" of coal. She added that
990,179 persons were employed in the
distribution and sale of alcoholic
beverages, 45,790 by breweries alone
