Stanford Savant
 Is Here to Study
 Salmon SpoiIage
Check of Waste in Canning Industry Sought by
 Scientists

Arriving here from Stanford Uni versity to study the causes of spoil age in the salmon canning indus .-,, pr. Paul Beard has commenced investigation in Juneau of various salmon bacteria in an effort to dis cover the relation of the bacteria to the rate of spoilage.
 Dr Beard, who with his wife, is stopping at the Gastineau Hotel has been sent to Alaska by the Ma tional Gamers Association. and is continuing research work this veal on the salmon study project in itiated last year in Oregon anc wasnlngton.
 Already certain discoveries have lern made, Dr Beard stated today which will greatly influence the sal mon industry in Alaska However, these findings are as yet in too early a stage to be definitely an- nouneed.
 Upon completion of work with bacteria cultures on which he is working in the Territorial De- partment of Health laboratory, Dr. Beard is to leave Saturday on the Mount Mckinley for Prince Will liam Sound and Cook Inlet to make tests on salmon from different AL askan areas. The cultures are to be developed on ice in order to test the rate of increase at the tenn perature most commonly used for the fish in canneries
 Great waste in the salmon can- ming industry occurs between the time the fish is caught and the time it is canned. Dr, Beard stated in the laboratory this morning. Through studying the various tacteria, we believe it will be pos siole to materially check the amount Of spoilage."
 Associate professor of Sanitary science at Stanford, Dr. Beard ex- poets his assistant, pr. Jane E. Tnow to arrive in Juneau on July IT to proceed with the work he has started here. He will return
