governing the disposition of the
supplies abroad.
The wheat cargoes would be
shipped for immediate relief
purposes, it was said, in view Of
reports by CASTOR Henry-Haye
the French ambassador, that the
-four shortage in unoccupied
France was making IL necessary
to reduce the ration "from one
thick slice to one thin slice Of
bread per person a day"
At the same time, it was
pointed out, the grain supplies
would serve as trial shipment"
pending continued negotiations
through which the Vichy gov
eminent is seeking to induce
Britain to relax the blockade to
permit foodstuffs purchased with
some of Frances 81, 500, 900, 900
frozen" funds here to be ship
ped to unoccupied France and
distributed the e under Ameri-
can supervision.
Inasmuch as the purpose Of
the British blockade is to pre-
vent any kind of supplies from
reaching continental Europe
which might benefit Germany
directly or indirectly, a number
of important military and politi-
cal questions are involved in the
present negotiations.
France has announced her
readiness to give any guaran-
tees that the food shipments
would be consumed entirely by
the 10000. 900 persons in areas
not under German control. II
the disposition of the two "test"
shiploads satisfy Britain on the
subject. IL was believed that
chances would be enhanced for
an agreement permitting regu.
lar shipments.
The United States IL acting az
q friendly intermediary" in the
diplomatic negotiations since
there are now no direct diplo-
matte relations between Britain
and France.
Henry-Haye has expressed ap-
probation Of the projected Red
Cross grain shipments, but en-
phasixed that Frances food
problem Of unoccupied France
can be solved only through
Wholesale food purchases here
and regular sailings of French
vessels now available in Ameri-
can ports here.

council to answer custer charges.
In circuit court, Judge Harry
B. Keidan was to prepare his
decision on whether the housing
contract should be voided as q
result Of the admission that it
had been obtained by fraud.
Mayor Edward J. Jeffries and
the city's legal authorities have
indicated they would demand
that the contract be declared
null so that new bids could be
advertised and q new contract
obtained.
Although it was pointed out
that such q move would result
in higher costs in the construc-
ton project, Mayor Jeffries de-
clared that restoration Of the
confidence of 1900, 900 persons
in their government" was more
important.
At Alexander Blain hospital
doctors prepared to notify
Councilman Robert J. Ewald
that he will face an custer petit
ton charging him with accept
ing $4,000 for his vote favoring
concrete construction in the
project.
Physicians said the crisis had
apparently passed in Ewald's
condition so that he would be
able to Withstand the shock of
the information. The veteran
councilman collapsed Tuesday
night following an attack of
pneumonia and was critically i'll
in AN oxygen tent Wednesday
when Circuit Judge Hom& Fe
guson and Prosecutor William
e. Bowling announced the custer
petition against him.
The common council has set
April 8 at the date for hearing
the charges, providing Ewald
has recovered sufficiently to ap-
pear.

tigation to determine what hap

For the first time in mnay years, g large early escapement of sock eye salmon splashes productively in the streams of Southeast Alaska this summer of 1941.
 The fish owe their lives, for this important few weeks before they spawn and die, to a vigilant new fisheries patrol in which boats and planes of the Fish and Wildlife Service have combined to keep the pcachers out of the closed waters of the bays
 If the bays could be kept clear Of illegal seiners for the few vital weeks of midsummer in which the fish school up and enter the streams, Fish and Wildlife Service officials reasoned, a large future run of valuable red salmon could be built up for the benefit of honest fishermen.
 Beats and Planes
 Given beats and planes with which to make patroling effective for the first time, the Service has kept a 24-hour vigil on the red salmon streams of Southeast AL aska for the past month.
 To see how the patrol system works, an Empire reporter flew with Wildlife Agents circuit one after noon last week.

 On the flats between Oliver In let and the head of Seymour Can al several deer are seen on the muskeg. Half a dozen more will be seen on Admiralty before patrol is completed.
 Once over Seymour Canal, the ac- tual work of patrolling the bays begins. Skimming the water, the plane covers every foot of shore, swinging into King Salmon Bay and out again to where seine boat is making a legal set. A good haul of salmon can be seen in the pur- ed net. The fishermen interrupt their labors to wave a cheery greet Ing to the plane. AS long as the orange trimmed black plane is in the air, honest seiners can be sure fish are not being taken illegally oy competing boats. Farther along the shore, a crew of Indian fisher men draws in a seine. Fewer sal mon in this one, but the seiners are not downhearted and pause tt wave the plane on it's way.

The plane circles him and the bear tries to run in all directions at once. He doesn't know that those are Wildlife Agents in the black Fairchild with the orange trim.
 But fishermen all over Southeast Alaska are coming to recognize the plane, and the law-abiding 90 out of every 100 welcome it. They know it assures them a fair shake and a good run of fish in future years.
