Question of French Terri toridI Defense Still
 Unanswered

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull indicat- ed today that American relations with the Vichy government depend more on action the French may take in defending their territory than on assurances just received from Vichy.
 Secretary Hull received a French note substantially along lines re- ported in recent press dispatches from Vichy, he told press con- ference.
 Asked whether these new as surances were satisfactory, Secre- tary Hull said he still wished to know more about what is going on in Vichy It was reported that the French note expressed Vichy's intentions of defending the French empire it's own way.
 Hull's remarks led some observers to infer the note in itself failed to satisfy the American govern ment entirely on the question of defense of French African possess sions and other territories, or pos sible resistance to Axis demands for military bases and other con- sessions.

TWO NEW
 SCHOOLS
 TO OPEN
Defense Base Kids Get New Buildings df Kodiak,
 Dutch Harb0r

Two new Territorial schools, re- quired by the flood of army and navy families and families of de- fense workers have poured into Alaska in the past year, will open along with 52 other rural territor- lal schools and schools in most of Alaska,s 19 incorporated cities on September 3, it was announced to- day by Dr. James c. Ryan, Territorial Commissioner of Education.
 The two new buildings will be at Dutch Harbor and at Kodiak, cen ters of Alaska's buzzing new defense industry.
 Both schools have been con- structed in cooperation withs con- struction companies engaged in de- fense contract work and with navy authorities, Dr. Ryan stted. The Territory, in each case, is furnish ing only teachers, text books and supplies. Buildings, heat, light and Janitor services are furnished by the navy.
 At Kodiak, the school is built on the new navy airport and will be an elementary school, with high school students from the defense base being transported to the Kod- iak city schools It is planned to furnish three teachers for an es- timated 100 pupils at the Kodiak school, however if attendance ex- ceeds present expectations it may be necessary to furnish an additional instructor, Dr. Ryan said.
 Two teachers are being provided for the Dutch Harbor school, where enrolment is expected to be about SO children. t-as
 Appropriations for maintainence of tAe new schools were not in- cluded in the territorial budget for the coming two years, Dr. Ryan poined out today, as the legislature assured that school needs in de- fense community wiuld be provided through the national $50, 0,OO0O O0o Community Facilities Act.

SALMON RUN E REPORTED HEAVY
 ON PUGET SOUND
Seiners Getting IA Cents a Pound for SoekeYes-
 Pinks Starting

Puget Sound is enjoying one os the finest late runs of salmon in many years, it. was reported here today by F. w. Buhrman, opera tor of the F'arwest Packing Com pany of Anacortes and the Far west-Alaska Company, of Wran- gell
 Buhrman, who has been coming to Alaska every summer for 32 years, arrived in Juneau Monday by plane, has spent the early part of the week at his Wrangell plant, and was back in Juneau this morn ing, awaiting departure of plane this afternoon, on which he will return to Seattle.
 "In all the 32 years I've been coming to Alaska, I've never seen such a heavy run of fish in South east Alaska as we have right now" Buhrman stated. The Wrangeh plant of the Farwest Company will have heavy pack in cans when the season closes there on August 28, he declared.
 On Puget Sound, Buhrman stat ed, seiners are averaging between 1000 and 5000 fish a day. For Puget Sound sockeyes, fishermen are getting IA cents a pound, best price the red salmon have brought in years, he stated Pinks have just begun to run heavily in Puget Sound, Buhrman declared, and will reach peak run between August 15 and September Is, it is expect ed. The pinks are bringing a price of 31a cents pound to fisher men.
 Puget Sound canners are hand packing the sockeyes being taken now, and putting up a fancy pack, Buhrman said. He declared that the five major canning plants now operating on Puget Sound are handling more fish (thanks to high speed machinery than AT plants on the Sound once handled in the days before fish traps were barred from Washington waters.

(AA COMMUNICATION PLANS WOULD BLOCK
 RADIO FADE0UTS

Plans for regional chains of short-wave radio reporting stations throughout Alaska, to defeat the workings of radio fade-outs in the Territory, are in the mind of Eu- enc Sibley, communications chief for the Civil Aeronautics Admin istration, when he left Juneau to- day by plane, enroute to Wash ngton, D. c.
 Sibley has been in Alaska duc- ing the past week conferring with Army and Navy communications officers and with the Weather Bureau, regarding cooperative radio communications for the Territory which would be shared by these agencies, along with the CAA.
 Of vital necessity to both mili- tary and commercial air route op- eration is system by which wealth CT reports from throughout tn Q Territory can be made available to flyers and this information transmitted to the States for syn optic map making use, Sibley ex- plained.
 Where present communications facilities are often blocked by local radio fade-out conditions which prevent transmitting information from large sections of the coun- try, establishment of a double chain of stations would make it possible to get the information out over other stations in case key sta tion' is temporarily in a fade-out belt, Sibley explained.
