U.s.. TakesPossessio
OF 200 Fishing Boats
Off West Coast
Inspection Bureau Offers
Evidence Of Fraudulent
Documentution
BY OLIVER MCKEE.

On evidence presented by the
Bureau of Marine Inspection and
Navigation, Federal authorities have
obtained the forfeiture, because of
fraudulent Recommendation, OF ap-
proximately 200 fishing vessels oper-
ating of the California coast, most
of them owned and manned by
Japanese. A drive OF many months
is nearing completion.
The Navy has long looked with
suspicion on the japanese fishing
fleet in Pacific waters. During
battle maneuyers one or more of
these craft have often been observed
in the area of fleet operations.
The law requires that documented
vessels must be wholly owned by
citizens of the United States. An
investigation by the Coast Guard
intelligence service revealed wide
spread fraudulent Recommendation.
The bureau, charged with the duty
of enforcing the navigation laws,
laid the evidence before the Depart
ment of Justice.
Legal action for the Federal Gov
eminent has been in the hands Of
Ben Harrison, United States attor-
ney at Los Angeles. AS a result Of
his efforts, it was said at the bureau,
the ownership of these vessels has
been placed in the hands of United
States citizens, as required by law.
In many instances the investigation
disclosed that fishing vessels had
Japanese or other foreign owner
ship, which was concealed by false
Recommendation that made it appear
that they were owned by American
citizens.
Investigations Continued.
Through the Coast Guard intelli-
gence, the bureau is continuing its
investigation Of the Recommendation
of fishing vessels in other areas,
notably the Gulf Coast. Although
its primary concern is the enforce
ment of the navigation laws, this
investigation is of Importance to the
Army and Navy. Fishing vessels,
outwardly engaged in a peaceful
business, have long been recognized
as a possible instrument of espion-
age by foreign agents.
The first step toward eliminating
this danger is the enforcement of
the law requiring that these fishing
vessels be owned by United States
citizens. The fishing feet based on
California now has virtually clean
bill of health. according to bureau
officials. Investigations so far have
revealed no evidence of widespread
fraudulent Recommendation in other
areas.
Anti-Espionage Move.
In another move to prevent pos
sible espionage by foreign agents,
the administration has issued an
executive order prohibiting fishing
and other vessels from anchoring in
areas off the Pacific Coast where the
fleet is engaged in maneuvers. Under
this order the Navy has the au-
thority to move vessels thus an
chored to other areas.
Under the present law there is no
restriction on the employment of
Japanese or other foreigners on
American fishing vessels, except as
masters or watch officers. Legisla-
ton is pending in Congress to re-
quire 100 per cent American crews
on all ships. including fishing YES
sells.

between her cage and Dopey's. The
keepers offered her fruit to desist.
From time to time, Susie would
quit work long enough to sidle over
to the keepers. She stretched the
bar out toward them while reaching
for the fruit. Then she grabbed the
fruit and snatched the bar away.
This went on for some time. When
Susie returned to work on his door,
Dopey retreated to the far corner
Of his cage.
Susie, growing bored with the
game, at length handed over the
steel, as much as to say, "Oh, so this
is what you wanted"
In the next cage, Dopey, for all
his long red beard, looked as happy
as kid over the outcome.

ever. to stand between Susie and her

position to one which Is based at

Triangle Declared Vulnerable.
Our well-known defense triangle
in the Pacific is anchored at the
Panama Canal at one end and
Alaska at the other, with Hawaii in
the middle Each OF the three
points must have adequate defensive
works if the triangle is to be main
tanned. But up to the present mo-
ment little has been done in Alaska
and, therefore, the triangle is vul-
nerable, and dangerously vulnerable,
at that point"
The mission of the air force in
Alaska. according to Maj. Gen.
Henry H. Arnold. chief of the Army
Air Corps, would be first, to pro-
vide for the defense Of the coast
line, or anything approaching the
coast line; and, second, being in a
! position where they could be called
upon by the Navy to 90 out and re-
inforce the Navy in any action they
might have in the North Pacific. In
the third place, it will provide "a
connecting link between the Army
and the Navy in the area between
the United States and Hawaii and
Alaska"
1t would be the duty of the
Alaskan air force to conduct ocean
patrols to the greatest possible ex-
tent, Army leaders pointed out. The
sphere of influence for the Army
would be over an area up to 800 or
1000 miles at sea. This would not
duplicate the work of the Navy, but
would be carried on in connection
with the Army's particular mission
of defending the Alaskan coast.
The mission of naval aviation in
Alaska would be the conducting Of
patrols and supporting operations
for naval forces at sea.
The Civil Aeronautics Board has
undertaken an extensive program of
construction of emergency fields and
radio facilities in Alaska. While
these fields and aids are needed ur-
gently for civil aviation in the Ter
ritory, which probably is more de-
pendent upon air transportation
than any other area on earth, they
also are important adjuncts to mill
tary training and operations.
Radio Range Stations Proposed.
1t has been proposed, for example,
to establish c. A. B. radio range sta
lions out the Aleutians between An
chorage and Unalaska. at Kodiak,
Chignik and Unalaska. Although
there is scarcely enough civil air
travel now or in prospect at any
time in the near future to justify
such aids on these lonely, forbid
ding islands, they would be of very
great military value.
The urgency of all of the proposed
Alaskan defense measures, involving
the co-ordinated efforts of the Army,
Navy and Civil Aeronautics Board,
was stressed by Delegate Dimond in
recent testimony before a congress
sional committee.
1--WE have all too long assumed
that if Japan were hostile to us,
Soviet Russia would be friendly, or
vice versa" Mr.. Dimond said. More
and more, the development in the
struggle for world power has indi-
Gated that all of the totalitarian ma
tons will probably eventually, and
soon, form q solid bloc against all
of the rest of the world. We are
confronted with not only the pos
sibility, but the probability, Of an out
right alliance between Soviet Russia
and Japan. In such an event, could
there be any doubt of not only the
ACCESSIBILITY, but the instant need, Of
having adequate defense works in
Alaskan"
