WHALING INDUSTRY
FIGHTING FOR LIFE
Has Enough Life Left In II
To Maintain Something
of Lobby
By CHARLES P.i STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, August L.
A mariner sat in. tile shrouds one
night.
The wind was piping free
Now dimmed, now bright
Was the moonlight pale.
And the phosphor cleaned in the
wake of the whale,
AS he floundered in the sea.
Shades of Moby Dick!-from which
classic work of fiction by Herman
Melville the above lines are a quo
tatiOn. s"
Who'd have imagined that the
American whaling industry had
enough life in it to have formid-
able lobby operating in its behalf in
congress? I'd have supposed it was
as extinct as the we'll known dOdO.
Well, so it was, from about 1850
until quite recently, according to a
"news release" the other day by the
American Whaling Information SER
vice, run by the Western Operating
corporation which operates on
whales, now mainly to be found in
Antarctic waters, having been pref
ty we'll run out of the northern seas
by harpooners of hard onto a CEN
tury ago.
Around seven years back, how
ever, an American Whaling company
was organized by descendants Of
these earlier -catchers. 1t
developed into the Western Operat-
ing corporation, which was doing
right well until lately. Today con-
gress threatens to throw a fatal
crimp into it. By this time, though,
it's formidable enough to put up a
fight for its life-to conduct an in
formation service, to appeal to the
electorate to write to Washington's
lawmakers, to serve banquets to
Washington neWspapermen. And it
puts out a good line of publicity.
It's romatic and Moby Dicky-ish
and patriotic.
Times Have Changed
In the initial half of the 18OOs
1t seems that a whaling ships job
was, first to catch a whale, then to
moor him alongside, try out his oil
and fat and whalebone, take on
board and cast adrift what was left
of him.
AT present, like many other things,
this program has been specialized.
The craft that does the reclamation
work simply is "a factory. It's accom-
panied by fleet of what are known
as killers The killers croak the
whales, tow 'em to the mother craft
and the latter extracts their Gin
nardS.'
Accordingly the new whaling
pioneers bought, as a mother YES
sci, former U. S. navy auxiliary
called the Ulysses, transformed it
into an up-to-date tanker, and sup
plemented it with a flock of for
being entirely out of the business
OF providing the killer" type of
whale hunters.
1t manned its "killers" mostly with
NOrWegians. 1t had to. NO American
whale killers remained on earth.
1t took what it could get If quail
fled Americans will apply for the
Jobs the company will take 'em.
The "killer" ships are foreign
made, too. The company regrets this,
but it costs so much more to build
'em in American than in foreign
