DR.. Edwin Cooper is Pho.
in fisheries biology who works for
Michigan.s Institute for Fisheries
Research. He bosses trout re-
search on the Pigeon River. He
reigns as absolute monarch on
about five miles of this stream
set apart as experimental water.
Anglers must have permits TO fish
there and must report back TO
Cooper who measures and weighs
each fish, keeps record of when.
how and on what they we're
caught, how long the angler fish
ed; the weather. barometer read
ing. stream conditions and various
moon phases are also tabulated.
Coopers project was primarily
set up to answer important Ques-
tons about the rate Of trout
growth. spawning success. popu-
lation. survival of legal sized
planted trout. and what happens
to those that don't get fooled by
the hook.
But Byron Dalrymple. sports
nan-turned writer. tells me that
while all this was going on. SO
many side lights turned up that
the project ran Off on several
interesting tangentS There's the
barometer matter. for instance.
Cooper has facts and figures
taken from thousands Of CORE
lated day-to-day records. The
anglers who fished when the baro-
meter was down caught Just as
many trout as the fellow who
fished when the barometer was
up Likewise. those on the stream
when the barometer was falling
were just as successful as those
who fished when t was rising
Only on one point could the baro-
meter fishermen score. When the
barometer was steady. either low
or high. fishermen made better
catches than when it was moving
in either direction. But only a
little better.
But here's the shocker Cooper's
statistics prove without question
that it is know how. the expert
ness. that produces most fish in
the creel. He says:
We tried stocking certain sec
tons periodically during the sea l.
son SO heavily that we actually
doubled. temporarily, the trout
population. We found later that
the same fishermen who had
previously gotten skunked but
anne back for more. still got
xunked The experts. however
caught many more fish
Thus. fishing ability is what

planting does not. according tc

the fellow who. because Of his
ability. has it pretty good already
! Here's another bit OF informa
ton turned up by Cooper: i
turned out during the first sea
son that the number OF fishermen
who had fished with worms anc
the number who had fished with
flies were very near Identical
Not only did each group take the
anne number. but the take per
fishing hour was almost the same
So was the number in each grour

To Have Friends

If YOU seek for friends on life's highway.
You should be friend to all each day,
When YOU meet a man a girl Or boy
Into whose hearts you might bring Joy,
With words of praise YOU should speak out
And let folks hear you all round about
IF a lot Of friends you wish to find,
You should greet all folks with a friendly mlnd'
And to all YOU meet along the way,
With smiling face, some kind words say
If you're sincere and kind and true
Folks of like nature will seek for YOU.
1t costs but little some praise to give
But it gaddens the hearts Of all who live.
And often a man with pleasure will smile
When you show him by praise that he's worthwhile
For words of praise for job we'll done
Brings glow of pride to everyone.
Make it practice wherever you go
With word or deed, to some Kindness show.
For the Bible teaches, all we'll know
That each reap the things VIC SOW
Be friend to all in all YOU do
And the friends you seek Will come to YOU.

FWS To Determine Depth or Lakes

Juneau-The Fish and Wild life Service will begin using a fathometerd to determine the depths of game fish lakes in Alaska, Clarence Rhode direc- tor, reports.
 This probably will be the first air-borne fathometer in Alaska, Rhode said. The in- strument, which weighs 15 pounds, will be installed in a Grumman Goose and will be transferable to other planes.
 Cost of the fathometer is less than $500 and Rhode said it should pay for itself in a week" by eliminating the necessity for sounding. A plane need only taxi across a lake and a contour of the bot tom is drawn on a graph.
 A record of the depth of lakes is valuable in planning stocking programs and related work, Rhode said.

The Shoot-to-kill behavior of

Back in June, 1851, two Amer
lean jets lost their way on a

an American and a Norwegian
were questioned for a few days
by Czech authorities and then
released. Their planes also were

Abe Board Seeks
To Act on Charges
OF Bottle RefiIIinq

Acting on orders of Commits
Sioner Renah F. Camalier, the
Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today asked the Alcohol
and Tax Division of the Internal
Revenue Bureau to send to it all
cases involving refilling of whisky
bottles with another brand.
Chairman Allan w. Payne Of
the ABC Board today sent a
letter to Dwight E. Davis. head
of the Tobacco and Alcohol Unit,
asking that all cases be sent to
them for possible action for vio-
lating the ABC regulations.
Wants Policy Changed.
Mr.. Payne said in his letter
the policy of the Federal Gov
eminent in reporting only second
offenders ought to be changed.
Federal agents said the policy Of
sending first offenders before the
board has been under considera-
ton for some time, but that no
decision had been reached. Com
missioner Camalier, in his letter
to Chairman Payne, asked him
to contact the proper officials
and report to the Commits
Sioners.
The Commissioners learned
about the situation last week
when James L. and Eleutherios
Perrus asked them to reverse the
ABC Board which had revoked
their liquor license at the Elite
Restaurant, 5000 block of Geor-
gia avenue NV.
Say Charge Was Admitted.
At the hearing Federal officers
testified they had detected re-
filling in checking the stock and
said the cafe officers had ad-
mitted filling some bottles.
Yesterday the Commissioners
reversed the ABC Board. They
said the board was correct in
finding the restaurant guilty, but
that the penalty was too severe.
At the suggestion of Commits
sioner F. Joseph Donohue they
decided to reduce the penalty to
a suspension for 80 days with
the proviso that the Perris' sell
the restaurant within 80 days,
and if unable to do so the revo-
cation would stand.

BY the Assoeioted Press

A House committee search for
politics in the Internal Revenue
Bureau swung toward Louisville
today.
Investigators summoned r. A.
Beman, former assistant district
supervisor of the Alcohol Tax
Division at Louisville. The in
quiry into reports of political in
fluences in administration of al
cohol tax affairs so far had been
confined to operations in the
deep South.
Before going into the Louis
vile situation, the House Ways
and Means investigating subcom-
mittee called Lewis w. West, in
veStigator in charge assigned to
South Carolina.
Alcohol Tax Agent George H.
Whisenhunt Of Florence, S. c..
testified yesterday that several
years ago he had the backing of
the entire South Carolina con-
gressional delegation for promo
ton to the post of investigator in
charge for South Carolina, but
that eventually Mr.. West got the
job.
Charged Conspiracy"
A revenue agent since 1898, Mr..
Whisenhunt ascribed his repeat
ed difficulties in the service to
criminal discrimination against
me-" political retaliation and a
conspiracy" by his superiors to
get him out of the service.
Testimony and documents in
Dictated that Mr.. Whisenhunt
three times was in danger of los
ing his job and drew on political
influence to help him. He denied
soliciting help from politicians.
The subcommittee introduced
a memorandum written in July,
1850, by Alcohol Tax Chief
Dwight E. Avis to former Deputy
Commissioner Carroll Mealey, re-
porting on Mr.. Whisenhunt's
service record.
Activities Criticized.
Mr., Avis reported that MIR.
Whisenhunt had been mixed up
in partisan Democratic politics

made contributions to the Re-
publican Party as well. The

From Truman Policy

pressing the hope that President
Eisenhower will seek Arab
friendship, Premier Maj. Gen.
Mohammed Naguib told an in
terviewer last night that Amer
ica's Middle East policy under
President Truman was near
sighted.
In a separate conference with
other newsmen, the Egyptian
leader also accused Britain of
already violating the recent
Egyptian-British accord to let
the neighboring Sudan choose
it's own political future.
Gen. Naguib in an interview
with the Egyptian News Agency
described the Truman policy in
the Middle East as one of naked
support to Israel and imperial
ISM" of doing the bidding of
Britain, Israel or France"
In his charges concerning the
Sudan, Gen. Naguib accused
British administrative officials
in the upper Nile territory of
''ill-treating" the people, of at
tempting to delay promised cleo
tions and of running counter to
the agreements terms"

u. 5. Officials Taking
Serious View Of Red
Attack on Two JETS
By the Associated Press

United States officials, in both
State and Defense Departments,
were reported inclined today to
take the firmest of attitudes to-
ward Czechoslovakia over the
shooting down of an American
plane by Czech pilots.
Informed sources said, how
ever, that no consideration is
being given now to breaking dip
lomatic relations with Prague.
The feeling is that this would
accomplish nothing.
More probable lines of action
appeared to be:
l. Demands on the Czechs for
both an apology and cash indem-
nifty for the loss of the plane.
2. Instructions for American
pilots in West Germany to shoot
back, in event of another such
incident, and to take action to
force down any Czech planes
crossing the frontier.
Made Strong Protest.
The State Department made
public the protest which Am
bassador George Wadsworth de-
livered to the Czech Foreign Of
flee. The brief note set forth
the United States contentious as
to the place of the incident, well
inside of Western Germany.
Information about the incident
yesterday, in which two
Czech MIG-15s shot down an
American Thunderjet, was still
being gathered for study by the
State and Defense Departments.
At the moment there seemed
to be a tendency to regard the
clash as an isolated incident,
caused by trigger-happy Com
munist pilots.
If, however, later informa ton
indicates the attack was DELHI
crate, possible retaliatory steps
will come under serious consid-
Grafton.
Breaking diplomatic relations
would be considered only as a
last resort
Keeps Listening Posts.
Since the war ended the
United States has maintained
diplomatic posts behind the Iron
Curtain despite extreme provo
cations which in times past
would have led to breaks. The
reasoning behind this is that
such diplomatic missions serve
as listening posts within the
Communist world.
The United States contention
that Czech planes violated West
ern Germany's territory places
this incident in a different cat
egory from some earlier clashes
with the Communists over at
tacks on United States aircraft.
In the most recent similar in
cident, Hungarian fighters shot
down an American Air Force
cargo plane on November 10,
1851 The United States plane
had wandered off its scheduled
route and came down on Hun
garian territory.
The United States paid a
fine" of $123 SOS for the release
of five American airmen. To this
day the Hungarians have ig-
nored demands for $98,779 to
pay for the cost of the plane.
