Traffic on Richardson High
way nterrupted-Ne-
mana Flooded Again

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June u.s.
Heavy rains and melting glacial ice
has interrupted travel on the Rich
ardson Highway. caused flood con-
ditions at Nenana and speeded the
Black Rapids glacier, after vio-
lent thunder storm. Nearly two
inches of rain has fallen over the
highway section.
The Black Rapids glacier moved
$50 feet in "a hours. OBSERVERS
said the glacier is now within three
fourths of mile of the Black Rapids
roadhouse.
Apprehension is felt regarding the
lakes formed on the glacier. Air
plane pilots said there are large
lakes and if they burst through the
ice of the glacier, floods are most
probable.
The flood waters at Nenana are
now within six inches of the spring
crest. The water covers half of the
town but the business district is
dry.

FISHERMEN WELCOME
PROBE, BRISTOL BAY
Fear Expressed that Japan
csc Planning Expan-
sion Of Activities

SEATTLE, June 25.--Edward w.
Allen. Seattle member of the In
ternational Fisheries Commission
said today that Reputation of the
doctrine of the three-mile limit in
Territorial waters might be neces>
sary to save American fisheries from
foreign encroachment." He said
the threat of invasion did not come
only from the japanese but that
the British had made an effort to
get British ships through the Pam
anna Canal for the purpose of strip
ping North Pacific halibut banks"
There are two answers to the
problem, Allen said. The first, he
said, is program of international
conservation and the second. abar1-
donment of the three-mile limit
rule.
THE three-mile limit was estab-
lished in time in our history when
distance was judged by the maxi
mum range Of any cannon. There
fore, 1t represented the greatest
amount of water that could be de-
Tended from shore. Also 1t was be-
lieved at the time that there was
ian inexhaustible supply of fish In
deep sea waters. But the cannon
has been devised to shoot 10 miles
and 1t has been proven that the
fisheries can be exhausted, SO both
reasons are obsolete" Allen said.
