WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - No
body knows yet just what will
happen to c. I. o. President Phil
Murray's plan for putting airolane
production on a 500-a-day basis by
converting idle plants of cars no
longer manufactured, but it's at
least a cinch that the motion won't
die for want of a second.
1t has aroused intense interest in

most certainly be given a thorough
study.
Weeks ago. when the whole study
existed largely in the head OF
Walter Reuther, of the United Auto
Workers. it was brought to Sidney
Hillman's attemption informally He
talked it over in detail with Assist
ant Secretary of War Patterson,
who agreed with him that the study
should be completed, put into writ
ing and submitted as rapidly as
possible.
Naturally, it's expected the pro-
iect will draw heavy opposition,
especially from the established avi-
alton industry. In labor circles in
Washington the proposal is looked
on as the answer to Defense Com
mission KnudSen's demand for a
speed-up, and there1l be a fine

One reason is that there is no need
for them to hurry to get through.
The presidential convention won't
take place this year until late July

is that the shadow of the momentous

and the session is cinch to be one
of the most acrimonious and poi-

There will be fierce fighting over
the Wagner labor and wage-hour
acts, over Secretary Wallace's de-
mand for some form of processing
tax to finance the $500, 100000 farm
parity payments, over Cordell Hull's
reciprocal trade treaties and above
all over the slashed budget.
It's on this last issue that you will
see party lines crumble and the
boys, despite. all their brave econo-
my talk and other lofty sentiments,
rally together to save their pork.

The background of the story briefly is this: From the time when the first wandering fisher man discovered that seal skins and oil brought big profits, it was open season on theSa bark ing dogs of the briny deep. Seals are easily caught and killed. Flowing into the herd at sea, a fleet of small boats can slaughter th-m by the hundreds. (ThiS is called pelagic or surface sealing).
 On land, they can be herded like cattle away from the wa ter's edge and killed with clubs. An idea of how simple it is may be understood from the fact that the Pribilof herd, estimated to contain 2,5OO,O00 seals in the 1880s, numbered approximately 125,000 in 1911.
 The story of the Coast Guard cutter services heroic efforts to save the herd against the depre- dationS of renegade American, Canadian and Japanese sealers would fill a volume.
 On more than one occasion, the Coast Guards zeal in seizing for eign boats precipitated interna- tional incidents, but it wasn't un til 1911 that all the nations in- Volved got together and worked out a plan.

BERING SEA SEALING PROBLEM BREAKS OUT TREATY ABROGATED
By Jack Stinnett

WASHINGTON - The Boring Sea sealing problem is in again.
 This 70-year itch which has kept the State Department, the Bureau of Fisheries and the U. s. Coast Guard scratching heads since post-Civil War days has broken out again. It's all because Japan has announced that she wants no further part of that treaty which for 29 years has reg ulated sealing and prevented complete extinction of the great seal herds of the north Pacific.
 Russian and Great Britain are also parties to the treaty, but Japanese abrogation of it pro- bably will have little affect on them. It may have considerable effect on the United States.
 Just why the Japanese sudden ly decided to abrogate a treaty which has proved so workable for nearly 30 years is something of mystery.
 In the official notification, the Japanese said the seal herd that bases at the Pribilof Islands, just inside the fringe of the Aleutians has got so large that it is a menace to Japanese fisheries.
 Government fishery experts brand this as bunk, pointing out that migrations of the Pribilof seals do not carry them into Japanese waters.
 But if this were so, the ques- ton that immediately follows is how does Japan plan to rsmOve this menace? And the inevitable answer: By destruction of the great seal herd which for a good deal longer than 30 years has been recognized in international law to be principally the proper ty of the United States.
 FEDERAL OFFICIALS MUM
 That isn't official reasoning. As a matter of fact, all government departments affected are eau tiously mum in this latest inter- national development in the Pac- fife.
 Unofficially however, there are off thc-rz cord hints that the Jap ansse action was just another of those reciprocal hooks to the belt-linz that are bound to come wh0n nation get to trading punch nc
The Nome nugget., 1940-12-04
NATION DIVIDE KILL

The United States was to take over all killing of the Pribilof herd and give Canada and Japan each Is percent of the skins talk en annually. Japan was to super Vise the much smaller Robben Is land herd and give Canada, the U. s. and Russia each 1 percent of the kill. Russia was to handle the even smaller Commander Is land herd and give Japan and Canada leach Is percent of the kill.
 For five years, the seals were not to be touched and after that the only sealS to be taken were the three-year-old males.
 The plan worked beautifully. The Pribilof herd is now over two million. This year the 45O natives there, working under Blu reau of Fisheries experts, kill ed about 65,OOO seals. The skins were shipped to St. Louis for curing and auction in the fur market. Japan got about S44 900 cash. Canada got it's share.
 As far as sealing went, every body seemed happy - even tn seals - until Japan called the whole thing off.
