One of the most readable and authoritative books dealing with Alaska and her fisheries to come off the presses in many years is the recently published North Pacific" by Edward w. Allen, member of the International Fish cries Commission and frequent traveller in Alaska. While the book represents eighteen years of note-taking and research, IA business and pleasure trips to AL aska and five years of writing by the author, it is an Up 10 the minute picture of conditions in the fisheries of the North Pacific. it tells the story of voyage from Seattle along the Alaskan coast as far as Bristol Bay, across the Boring Sea to Kamchatka Bay, down to Japan and across the Pacific back to the United States.
 In dealing with Alaska, MT. AL len abendons the conventional mining and dog team story, and pictures the territory as the bill ion dollar fish storehouse of AL aska. He deals in an authorita- tive manner with the fisheries and stresses the necessity for a scientific rather than a political solution of the problems involv- ed in preserving these valued resources.
 Japanese Fishing Described To Alaskans one of the most interesting sections in the book are the chapters dealing with Japanese fishing. The stralned relationships between Japanese and Russians arising out of the Japanese fishing rights in Russ ian waters are explained, and the danger of conflict pointed out. The Japanese use of floating nets off the Siberian coast resulting In shutting off the supply for RUSS ian canneries is described. MT.

RIGHT TO SEIZE
ARGUED
Senate Committee Counsel
in Appeals Court Opposes
Hearst Plea.

The Senate Lobby Investigating
Committee today questioned, in the
United States Court Of Appeals, the
right Of ANY court in the land" to
enjoin 1t against making use Of mes
sages copied from the files Of tele-
graph companies.
Senators acting under q Senate
resolution are not subject to mjunc-
ton even If Congress had no power to
pass the resolution" declared Cramp'
ton Harris, committee counsel, in op-
posing the appeal by William Ran
dolph Hearst from the dismissal of his
suit to enjoin the committee from
keeping his kilograms, making use OF
them or seizing any more.
Messages Are Copied.
Last Winter agents of the commit
tee, which was headed by Senator
Black, Democrat, of Alabama, went
into the Offices Of the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph Cos. and OBJ
tanned copies Of messages. With
them were representatives Of the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
Shortly thereafter Hearst filed his
Injunction suit, claiming violation OF
the freedom of the press and Of the
fourth and fifth constitutional amend
ments. Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat
dismissed the suit.
Through his attorney. Elisha Han
son, Hearst took a special appeal on
the jurisdictional question, which was
argued today in the Court of Appeals
The courts decision will be rendered
at a later date.
Jurisdiction Question.
IT come to you more in the capacity
of an envoy than lawyer" Harris told
the court. II appear not as ntigant,
but as q representative Of an equal
and coordinate branch Of the Gov
ernment to call attention to that phase
of constitutional law which prohibits
the courts to lay hands on the legis-
lative branch"
Hanson said the sole question was
whether the courts have jurisdiction
ito entertain q suit to enjoin five
men, members Of the United States
Senate, individually or as Senate
committee, from violating the rights
of a citizen as guaranteed by the
Constitution.
In seidng the kilograms, Hanson
contended, the Senate committee vio-
lated the constitutional prohibition

.3-FOOT ALLIGATOR
FOUND IN GARAGE
Reptile Then Vanishes to
Provide Mystery for
Chevy Chase.

The mystery Of Chevy Chase's van
ishing alligator has provoked a lo'
Of questions.
Can alligators in the wild state sur
vive Washington's winters?
The answer seems to be yes. The
Zoo has at least one alligator captured
on q Potomac mud fiat. Too, there
are records of alligators being caught
in Hudson River.
Thus the 3-foot alligator which
George Porter surprised Saturday
night in his garage at 5100 Brockville
road, Chevy Chase. Md, may have
been a wild specimen, although he
probably was an escaped pet.
Porter was as surprised as the
alligator when the headlights of his
car revealed the reptile reared on its
hind legs and tail He summoned
witnesses, then locked the alligator
in the garage. But the captive escaped
during the night.

may have been one which escaped sis
years ago from an orange crate on the
back porch of another neighbor.
That alligator belonged to q small
boy whose family since has left town
A year later, Mrs. Stone was crossing
q creek near Pinehurst Circle at the
foot of Raymond street when, as she
explained today, II looked smack into
the face Of young alligator!" She
did not see the reptile again.
Several days ago w. w. Chambers
the funeral director, gave away three
3-foot alligators which he had brought
home from Miami three years ago
The pets had become something of 9
nuisance and Chambers. through q
newspaper story, offered to give them
to anybody who could provide q good
home.
