New Seining Vessels
 Arrive In Wrangell

Their new masts glistening iD the sunlight, two new fifty-fOot fishing vessels of unusual design arrived in Wrangell this week from Seattle on their maiden voyage to the North.
 One vessel, the Andrea, Henry Roaming, Captain, is designed for seining, gill netting and halibut long-lining. Roaming conceived the idea for the tripIe-type boat while fishing here for number of years. Before he always had to use two boats. A large one for purse seining and a smaller one for gill netting. After considerable thought he work ed out the idea of combining the features of the boats and making one uue the work of the two and be adaptable for triple-fishing.
 The ship was built from Ronning's s specifications at the Olson and Sunde Marine Ways in Lake Union and was launched last week. Roaming went south some time ago to supervise the building.
 The other boat, the Tiny Boy, Henry Bowman captain, is designed for seining and can also be used for halibut fishing. She was build from Bowman's specifications and like the Andrea was built by Olson and Sun de. Bowman supervised the finish ing touches of the boat which is 50 feet long 12 foot beam and powered with an S5 H. P. Cooper Bessner engine.

 West of Egegik a vessel was sight ed about fifteen miles off shore and we headed in that direction. Upon flying over this vessel we found it to be a four-masted codfish schoon- CT, which we took to be the Amer ican vessel Sophia Christensen.
 After passing over this vessel we sighted four vessels lying at anchor about twenty-eight miles off shore from a point fifteen miles south west of the mouth of the Ugashtk River, in approximately latitude 57 degrees 45 feet north and longitude 158 degrees 46 feet west.
 We flew over these vessels and found them to be Japanese vessels, one large mother ship, and three smaller auxiliary vessels. The 3 ves- sels were anchored about three hull dred yards apart and about one quarter of a mile from the mother ship. All of the vessels were painted a battleship grey.
 The mother ship was the Taiyo Maru, a steam vessel of the freight CT type of five or six thousand gross tons. It had two masts and a cruis- CT stern. A considerable quantity of steam was being continuously emit

portant bearing on the situation which
has been fostering for years:
l. Conclusion Of the japanese anti

last November:
2. The recent executions of high

The Soviet press considers the anti
Komintern agreement is only dis
guised military pact between Japan
and Germany. The agreement pledged
mutual aid to combat the Komintern

The signing of the accord strained
relations between Moscow and Toxic

OF the important Siberian fishing
treaty between the two countries. A
new agreement was reached only
after weeks of critical negotiations.
The execution of the Soviet Army
leaders on charges Of treasonable con-

power was considered here to have
strengthened the japanese position.
Litvinoff's hand was believed to have
been correspondingly weakened in his
negotiations with Shigemitsu.

that the Russian position in the Far

LONDON. July britain looked
enxiously to Rome and Berlin to-day
for the means Of plugging the gaping
hole in the Spanish non-intervention
system left by withdrawal OF Italian
and German warShips from the penin-
sular patrol.
Already rebuffed by the two powers
on proposal that French and British
warships extend their patrol zones to
cover the Spanish government water
front against shipments of men and
munitions, Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden said he understood they have
been asked to prepare alternative pro-
posals.

He told the House OF Commons YES.
terday I'VE should know in the next
few days whether the gap would be
closed. For it to remain open-along
with the now unpatrolled Portuguese
frontier-would mean virtual collapse
