ALLEN REPLIES TO PROTESTS ON
 HALIBUT CHANGE
New Regulations Prompt ed by Serious Violations
 Says Commission Sety.

Another side exists to the argu- ment over the new halibut fishing regulation which requires a boat to clear for only one area each trip, according to telegram received by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce from Edward w. Allen, Secretary of the Intentional Fisheries Com mission.
 Last week the Chamber protested the new regulation. which has been condemned by fishermen and boat owners.
 Aliens message said the commits sion is giving careful consideration to such complaints but that thor ough investigation as we'll as open discussion with members of the fish ing fleet were had before regulations were changed and much factual background exists, including such serious law violations in this area as have threatened continuation Of the halibut supply, for the change. These facts probably have not been brought to your attention. In the meantime, the regulations are leg ally in effect and should be ob- served
 The Chamber also received tele- gram from Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond saying he is doing everything possible to secure a change of regu- lations so as to restore those ef- fective last year.

Facilities the Problem,
"The problem is new plants, new
machinery, special tools required by
the new plants, the necessary per-
