When asked by 4 Democrat reporter how long b6 intended tD keep men near the murder scene, he said.

 This stntomont is interpreted to mean that H6ts police will remain on duty iD WOlcOtt until it has been definitely determined whe. ther or not Crow iS dcHd or has eg- cnDed safely from the searched area.

Fish must be caught and pack
ed to supply the market. Who
will do this? Reason tells us
that it will be done by those best
organized to do it, that is, the
packers with their traps, using
more and more traps and less
fishermen, II not in these waters,
then wherever the fish are caught
for we know the market will be
supplied.
This could be done by the pack
ers, with their financial resources
taking out an Injunction against
the elimination of traps.
This leaves it up to us fisher
men to weld ourselves into a
solid united front of all fishermen
to smash this vicious legislation,
before we are driven into misery,
despair, and driven out of ex-

whether his successor, recently
