FIFTY MILES DEAD
FISH LINE 0RE60N
BEACH;JS PUZZLE
NEWPORT, Ore., June' 12ttB—
A narrow belt of fish, victims of a
puzzling tragedy, runs along the
beaoh in a nearly unbroken line for
fifty miles.
From Newport’s south Jetty, look
ing south, a dark path some three
feet wide can be seen stretching out
(or seven or eight miles. Reports
from south of there tell of its con
tinuance all the way to Heceta
Head, 50 miles from here.
The fish, identified as hake, a
variety of codfish, lie ten or so to
every two feet.
They rushed — or were washed—
out on the sand over the weekend,
first appearing at the southern edge
of the line. By yesterday the strip
reached here and reduction com
panies, taking them away at the rate
of 25 tons a day, joined gardeners
in search of fertilizer, and thous
ands of crying seagulls.
A popular theory is that they pur
sued sipelt tuns into shallow water
and when gorged could not fight out
past the breakers.

Wedemeyer
Testifying
Second Day
(Continued from Page One'
and Foreign Relations committee—
Senator McMahon tried to get in
formation from him about wealthy
Chine < who are reputed to have
large fortunes cached in this coun
try and other western nations.
Wedomeyer said he had heard
“rumors” but gave McMahon nc
names. He suggested the senator
might go to the U. S. Tr^sury De
partment for information.
Give Russia Warning
Wedemeyer also said today he be
lieves (he time is coming when this
country ‘will just have to draw a
line” and tell Russia "just what is
coming."
“And it ought to be done in the
United Nations, and we ought tc
have the military means, and 1
again say predominately air (power)
to carry out our plans,” Wedemeyer
said.
Leading up to these statements,
he had said he was concerned that
the United States may not be able
to meet its commitments “if we
continue to pour our effort into
Korea." He had said yesterday he
believed U. S. troops should be “pull
ed from Korea.”
The Army officer further said;
1. He favors rearming the Jap
anese, "but with reservations.” He
explained: "I would not give them i
far-reaching offensive capability “
2. This country "should do every
thing possible” to disrupt Russia’s
efforts "to establish a sound econ
omy in any area of the world that
she is trying to control or that she
does control." He said he would seek
to deny Russia rubber and oil.
Use Air Operations
As to fighting Russia, Wedemeyer
said he “would take areas from
which I could conduct effective air
operations.”
He said that at present he fore
sees “no decisive Allied victory" in
Korea and believes the present “un
fortunate situation” may go on for
months.
And the effort put into Korea,
Wedemeyer said, may leave this
country unable “to fulfill commit
ments of much greater importance
to us from a security viewpoint and
from an economic viewpoint later
on.”
He had spoken earlier of the com
mitments already made in Europe
and said "we may have to make
commitments elsewhere.”
Wedemeyer also testified that in
his'opinion, there would never have
been a war in Korea if a UN trus
teeship over Manchuria had been
established as he recommended in
1947. Wedemeyer called Manchuria
now a “Satellite of the Soviet.”

Rep. Leonard Irving ID-Mo) yes
terday was reelected president and
