F ACT FINDING
 IN FISHERIES
 URGED BY JURY
Ketchikan Grand. Jury Wants Thorough Study
 of Alaska Fisheries

The Federal Grand Jury, in it's final report to Judge Justin w. Harding in District Court in Ketchi- kan yesterday, intimated that at least a portion of the current unem- ployment in Southeast Alaska is attributable to illadvised and un- wise fisheries regulations, and sug- gested policies by which this could be remedied, according to advices received here today.
 In it's final report it also urged action by the Alaska Legislature to curb hunting accidents, suggesting criminal prosecution and licensing of hunters.
 Wants Fact Finding
 Pointing to the fact that more than 900 persons had been given assistance in Ketchikan by relief organizations during the past four months, the Grand Jury, in it's re- port to Judge Harding urged that strong recommendations be made to the United States Bureau of Fisheries that fact-finding com mittee be appointed immediately to make a thorough study of the history, regulations and admins tration of the Alaska fisheries
 It further recommended that "all hearings be held each year prior to the making of annual regula- tions and in Alaska communities" :" in order that the views of local interests might be had on this sub ject which is of vital importance to the Territory.
 Cites Hunting Accidents
 The report also urged, fin view of the many hunting accidents" /" that the Alaska Legislature make them punishable offenses but in lesser degree than manslaughter. It recommended, in addition, legisla- tion to license resident hunters, ad- ding that any such license should be merely nominal sum.
 William Falconer, charged with arson for the alleged burning of house under abatement in Ket- chikan, was placed on trial in the District Court there Monday. The case i3 expected to occupy the en- tire week, and all members of the petit jury not engaged in the trial were excused until next Monday morning.
