E1AAh OQOO VI bAAC oSobCo eAAS WAAANA ing up a five weeks inspection, first hand study, and observation tour of the fisheries and sealing areas of Alaska, United States Com missioner of Fisheries Frank T. Bell, announced upon his arrival here on the U.SB.F. motorship Brant that after his studies, obser- vations and talks with hundreds of fishermen, and members of the fishing industry in Alaska, no dras- tic change in the fishing regulations for next year would be made, but that a few adjustments might be made in some localities.
 ''The constant and, consistent in- crease in sa m 0 n packs, graphi- cally and factually demonstrates that the policy of conservation used by the Bureau of Fisheries is work ing, and insuring perpetuation and growth of Alaska's biggest in- dustry," MT. Bell said today
 "The run in Cook Inlet, and the south side of the Peninsula was big, and a good run and pack was experienced in Bristol Bay, even though it fell somewhat short of the record run in 1884 the Com missioner continued Practically all the other districts have had and are now experiencing normal run, with result that much Alaska la Dor has been employed in the fish ing industry this year and the fish ermen have made good money"
 Commissioner Bell pointed out that no labor trouble was exper- fenced in the industry in Alaska this year and feels sure that the entire season will wind up as prosperous one to practically all those engaged in the industry.

 "The marked and substantial inn provement in gen eral business throughout the United States under the New Deal and President RooSe- velt's administration has stabilized market conditions throughout bus mess, including the salmon indus try, and these benefits have na- turally in the economic process been passed along to every Alas kan engaged in the salmon indus try, in increased wages. This, cou- pied with good runs of fish, has added much to the prosperity of individual workers in the Territory and to the general welfare of the Territory.
 Gold Policy
 Tn addition to the improved con- ditions in the fishing industry, I always like to remind Alaskans that the Administrations gold policy which has increased the price of gold to point where the mining industry has been so re-vitalized in Alaska developing new mines, and increasing production in regular operating mines. increasing employ ment and creating new wealth is proving one of the greatest boons this great Territory has ever been afforded by any Administration.
 Tn commenting on the political situation, Commissioner Bell en- Enthusiastically stated that from his many conversations with Alaskans in all walks of life throughout the Territory he felt sure that the Ter ritory would go strongly Democrat ic in the elections this fall and that Delegate Anthony j. Dimond would be returned to Congress by huge majority.
 Dimond Is Praised
 The Commissioner whose many years in Washington, D. C., both as secretary of former Senator 0. c. Dill, and head of the Bureau of Fisheries, has made him thoroughly familiar with heavy duties, difficult ties and responsibilities that fall upon Delegate to Congress from Alaska, expressed glowing praise of Delegate Dimond's work and ef- fectiveness, both in Congress and in the many administrative offices through which MT Dimond works to aid Alaska.
 Tony Dimond is one of the most faithful workers in Congress that I have ever seen during my many years in the Capitol" the Com missioner continues. Because much of my work in the Bureau of Fish cries deals with Alaska, have been
