 Administrator

NEW YORK, June 22.-Prohibi- ton Administrator Maurice Camp bell believes Prohibition has saved Americans billions of dollars for merly spent for liquor.
 Addressing the N atiopal Sales Manager Club, Campbell said he based his average on the yearly of prewar days with no for increased consump- ton or increased prices. He said that on this basis $35,919, 100000 would have been spent on liquor during the last 10 years but for Prohibit ton. Before Prohibition, Campbell said, 10 per cent of incomes was spent for liquor.

He said further that although the salmon packing from the Pacific and Alaska wat CTS was still the most conspicuous single element, the fish output of Nev England and haddock fisher ies bre probably the greatest out put. The Western salmon fishing season is under way now. Alaska turned over 5,OO0,000 cases last year."
 Henry O'Malley, head of the Gov ernment fish cultural establish ments expects to stay on the fish, ing grounds all summer. OMalley believes the Alaska catch will be stabilized around 4,5O0,0oo cases yearly.
