CONSERVATION IF

 FAVOR FOREIGNERS
INTERNATIONAL TREATY OR OPEN FISHING YEAR-ROUND
 IS ADVOCATED

KETCHIKAN, Aug, 18, (P)-- Fear that the conservation meas ures affecting halibut in interna- tional waters of the North Pacific may rebound to the benefit of foreign fishermen atTthe expense of American fishermen who dis covered the banks and built up the industry, will be expressed in the Chronicle tomorrow by Cap tain Jacob Engdal, president of the Fishing Vessels Owners Asso- citation and master of the schoon- CT Eagle.
 He says he will present his views at the International Fish cries Commission hearing at Seat tie this month.
 This month the banks were closed to Americans and during the Japanese or others, engaged the winter months he would have in international waters. He recOm- mends either an international treaty or a year-round open sea- son at West Cape and Cape St- Elias allowing bigger boats to get the benefit of the winter prices and better shipping conditions.
 Tn the latter case he would ask for closing the breeding and nur- sery grounds at Cape Addington, Massett and parts of Hecate Straits as we'll as half of Cook Inlet.
 Fish competition with Japanese and others in the industry direct ly affects 5000 men and capital representing an investment of $4,000,0OO.
