Fishing's S Tops
In Strip Pits


KANSAS CITY - (P) - For a
fairly short drive and long day
of fishing. Kansas City anglers
take TO the strip pits. But every
one is welcome.
These abandoned surface coal
mining operations. filled with rain
water. can be found anywhere
south of here in both Missouri and
Kansas. All you need is state
license.
Fishermen generally have free
access to the pits. although the
coal companies still own them.
They find this good public rela-
tions. Many stock their own pits.
They offer only one word of
caution. Don't fish the strip pits
unless you can swim. They are
down. The banks are steep and
covered with loose shale. One mis-
step will send an unwary sports
man rolling downhill into the
brink.
Practically all fish native to
both states inhabit the pits.
According to Jack Reese, whose
firm is a titleholder to several of
the spots. bass have been taken
weighing s pounds. crappie 2
pounds. channel cat pounds and
bluegills 115 pounds"
These are good-sized fish in any
mans league
AS for kids, right now we need
more of Them" Reese says. They
can use pole and line to catch
sunfish. We have too many sun
fish. Bass fishermen throw back
the little ones, but kids keep them.
They get "A big kick out of catch
ing them

Senate Group
 Revises Alaska's Mental Health Bill

WASHINGTON, R-A Senate Insular Affairs subcommittee met today to strip controversy from the Alaska Mental Health Bill.
 The committee met this after noon but chairman Jackson (D- Wash) said earlier it was likely that proposed revisions in proce- dures for commitment of Alaska's mentally ill would be removed from the bill.
 In lieu of these, the territory's legislature would be given author ity to enact whatever commit ment procedures it might desire.
 "The people in Alaska should know what procedures are best adapted to Alaska" Jackson said. q think they ought to decide" :"
 Such a solution would remove the major source of controversy from the bill but leave intact the authorization for $1212 million in cash grants and one million acres of public land with which to aid the territory in assuming the fi- nancial burden of the program.
 Committee action would mark another step in the progress of the bill, which has been controversial since it passed the House with lit tie opposition.
 President Eisenhower supported the bill in his State of the Union message and it has the support of all of the government agencies concerned.

Stevenson Calls On US. to Cancel H-BOmb Tests

WASHINGTON, R- Adlai E. Stevenson Saturday proposed the United States call off all further tests of the H-bomb and urge other nations to follow suit.
 Saying he sees little sense in developing ever more destructive weapons, Stevenson suggested a halt to H-bomb tests begin with cancellation of the Pacific test scheduled next month.
 Of course, l would call upon other nations to follow our lead" he said, "and if they don't and persist in further tests we will know about it and we can re- consider our policy"
 His reference to other nations obviously was aimed at Russia, which recently has tested nuc- clear weapons in Siberia. There have been reports Britain will explode one next year.
 Stevenson also proposed both the United States and Russia channel future foreign economic aid through the United Nations If Russia refused to go along, its intentions would become clearer to other nations, he said.
 Under Eisenhower, he said, US policy is rigid, unimaginative and fails to take advantage O1 new opportunities" He said the administration has Host the moral initiative" abroad and the mar ginal superiority over Russia" in armamentS.

Alaska Control of Wildlife
 Resources Seen As Threat To Washington Fishermen

WASHINGTON, R- Proposals to give Alaska control over it's wildlife resources have drawn op- opposition from Rep. Jack West land R-Wash), who sees in them a "threat to the commercial fish ing industry" of his home state.
 Westland, a member of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, said hundreds of Washington State residents are employed in the Alaska fishing industry now regulated by the federal government.
 q would not want to see this multi million dollar resource turned over to a governmental body representing only small portion of those whose lives are vitally affected" the congress- man said.
 "Alaska's territorial govern ment has shown a marked tend ency to favor residents, and incl dents in the past have revealed that when given a chance they try to freeze out non resident business"

Apparently Drunk Is
 Enough, Says Hartman

ALBANY, NY, R-Gov. Aver ell Hartman has vetoed a bill which, in effect, would have pro hibited bartenders from refusing to serve alcoholic beverages to persons they considered "appar- ently" intoxicated.
 The law now in effect says that bartenders must not-and need not-serve drinks to persons "ac- tually or apparently" intoxicated.
 The bill the governor vetoed would have changed the word "or" to land"
 The assemblyman who spon- sored the bill said some persons had complained they had been de nied service because of physical characteristic such as a florid complexion.
