Committee Makes Reeom- menddtion After
 Alaska Trip
FISH TRAP QUESTION
 NEEDS FURTHER STUDY
0ffshore Fishing Problem Is Left Up to State
 Department

WASHINGTON, June GA total prohibition against taking herring in Alaska waters for oil, meal or fertilizer has been recommended by the House Committee on Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries, a sub- committee of which spent last sum- mer holding hearings in Alaska on fisheries matters.
 The recommendation appears among several others. in report of the Committee to, Congress after two-year study of Alaska fish cries.
 The Committee said evidence dc- veloped during the Alaskan trip last fall demonstrated increased scarcity of herring, believed due to operations of reduction plants.
 Reduce Salmon Traps
 The report expressed conviction salmon traps probably should be reduced and redistributed if they are continued, and their capacity regulated.
 Each trap should be considered separately on the basis of the facts in each case, the Committee recommended.
 Temerity was expressed regard ing any recommendation for abol- ishing fish traps. It was asserted the question was one for scientific study and administrative effort to- ward reconciiing conflicting in- terests.
 Abolition Secuted
 The Committees report said con- plete trap abolition might increase the number of outside purse seiners and gill netters in Alaskan waters.
 Concerning the question of non- resident labor in Alaska, the Com mittee found that although some action appears desirable, it is im- practicable now. It recommended an effort be made to adjust the issue by negotiation or mediation before any legislation is attempted. Any such legislation should apply locally rather than for all Alaska, it was recommended.
 The report urged cooperation by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Fisheries and the Committee on introducing fair, just and equitable legislation for penalizing unlawful fishing
 Alaska Commission
 The Committee approved early announcing of regulations by the Bureau of Fisheries and proposal to create a Fisheries Commission of Alaskans to confer on regula- tionS.
 It was recommended that the status quo be maintained with re- lation to offshore fishing by for eign nationals since the problem is now before the State Depart ment.

By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON. June g. = The Washington taxi drivers, with a gift for gab that shames the most oft-spoken congressman, almost talked themselves into trouble.
 So generous are they in point ing out the sights of the capital that the powers that be started a serious move to make them buy guide licenses as well as cab driv- CTS licenses. Only the ire of the local citizenry, aroused by what they considered an injustice, smoth- cred the move.
 Washington loves it's hack driv- CTS and we'll it might. They are as distinctive as strangers in a strange land and yet as much a part of the Washington scene as the Lincoln Memorial. They come from all over, but the sun of Dixie seems to have melted them down to the same general mould of 6CiIldl
 To understand them, you must understand first that Washington taxis are among the cheapest in the land The zone system is used. For 20 cents you can ride the two miles from the capitol to the White House. As a matter of fact, you can ride almost anywhere in official Washington for 20 cents Consequently, nearly all capital life sits through the hackies screen He knows Senators, clerks, bootblacks and barons. One min- ute, he is chauffeuring the Am bassador's lady, the next it's ste- nographer Judy O'Grady.

 He talks to them all. It isn't weather talk. either The fat they chew has gristle in it.
 Without any pumping they'll tell you what's going on up or the Hill' who's backing what bill and why. They know the po- litical effect of Dewey's speech ir the Midwest last night. and why the Senator of wonder state hasn't got a chance to come back to Con- gress next year.
