cent of the seasons take, or l4,252 of the skins obtained in 194l, under provisions of the international fur seal treaty of 1911.
 Beginning in 1883 and in each subsequent year except 1889 the Canadian Government has taken delivery of it's share of the skins at Seattle, while the Japanese Gov ernment has always elected to re- ceive it's proportionate share of the net proceeds of sale, rather than taking delivery of the skins in kind.
 This year the Canadian Govern ment has directed that delivery of approximately 5000 of its share of the skins be made to it's authorized representative at Seattle and that the remainder be processed and sold in this country for it's account.
 The processing and sale at public

,uction of fur-seal skins for the account of the Government arc handled under contract by the
 ouke Fur Company, of St. Louis, Mo. It has been the practice to ed the auction sales of sealskirs vice each year upon dates as may )e most convenient and satisfactory to the fur trade, usually early in he spring and fall.
 At the fall public auction sale # fur-seal skins held at St. Louis on September 8 there were sold ;9022 dressed, dyed, and machined sealskins and GIG raw and partly orccessed sealskins for total gross sum of $1,363,3 ,31o.50. This is the largest amount ever recorded at a single sale Of Government skins. Of the finished skins. 8,246 dyed black sold for $336,06225 an aver age price of s40.75 each; l2.075 dyed matara brown sold for $624,850 an average of $5175; and 8,701 dyed safari brown sold for $402,O75 25, an average of $s46.21.
 Prices High
 The foregoing prices represent increases of approximately 55 per cent, 56 per cent, and 58 per cent, respectively, on the black, matara, brown, and safari brown skins, as compared with the prices obtained at the spring sale on March 24, l94l. Fer all finished sealskins the average price was s46.95, or an in crease of 56 per cent over the aver age at the spring sale. It is sig nificant, also, that this average is more than double that obtained at the auction sale on September g, l940, when 3O,787 dressed, dyed and machined sealskins were sold for $648. .957.75, an average of $21,08 per skin.
 From a low point or approxi- mately l24000 animals in 1911, when the fur-sesl treaty went into effect, the Alaska fur-seal herd has been built up until it now contains 2, 2,338,3l2 animals, as computed on August 10, 194l. This is an in- crease of 153,l76, or per cent, over up of 773,246 cows. like number of the number computed for the pre- ceding year The total is made pups, 352,222 yearling and 2-year- old females, 17,486 harem and idle bulls, and 422,ll2 males of all other classes. These figures indicate a continued satisfactory growth of the herd. A
 On October 23, l94o, khe Japan csc Government gave notice of abro- gation of the .fur-seal treaty. This matter is receiving study by the State Department and the Fish and Wildlife Service is initiating an Investigation of the migration routes, feeding habits, and other natural history features of the Pribilof Islands herd. The vessel Black Douglas has been purchased for this undertaking.

 During the seal killing season, which started early in June and lasted until August 8, 79,331 skins were taken on St. Paul Island, while l5,682 skins came from St.. George Island, it was announced.
 The 1941 seal catch represented an increase of 29,750 skins over the take in 194O. During the 20- year period of the first lease of sealing privileges at the Pribilof Islands to private interests, from 1870 to 1889 inclusive, the average annual take of sealskins was more than 98,000, but since then it has never even approximated that num- Der at any time until this year.

WANTS COMMITTEE
 TO FIX PROGRAM
Finance Board Committee Now Working on Means
 of Financing Projects

The Waterbury Taxpayers Association today recom- mended the establishment of a citizens committee which would recommend a capital improvement pro- gram for the city and de- clared itself against any bond issue plan which pro- vides for "piecemeal" con- Struction of needed improve ments. In a report to mem- bers of the association, Managing Director Raymond P. Botch says that the sample" plan offered by Controller Thomas M. Conlon for a leng-range financial and in- proveanent program "is basicaly Souna" but contains certain weak nesses" and neglects more econom- ical methods" that could be followed. The association also released copy of a letter by President Lewis J. Hart in which it is stated that im- provements should be paid for out of current income as far as possible, but that if emergency projects are found necessary they should be built as a single unit and bonds issued at once for their entire cost.
 Public announcement of the asso- ciaticn,s stand was made only few H. AAf tHAorI rF fiV1oT1Rn tGok up the drafting of the actual bond issue bill which will be sub mitted to the Legislature. The

British Forces Drive Towards Somaliland
Warships Start Operations Along Coast-Italians Report Bombing British Cruisers Captured
 Parachutists May Be Shot as Spies

Rome, Feb. IS -CUP)- A high command communique disclosed to- day that British Empire forces, driv- ing from Kenya, are approaching the coast of Italian Sornaliland and that British warships have started operations along the Somaliland coast.
 Violent fighting is in progress in the Chisimaio zone of Italian Som- aliland. the communique said. Chisinaio is the southern port of Italian Somaliland, on the Indian ocean at the mouth of the Juba river.
 (This would mean that British Empire forces had driven across the southern end of Italian Somaliland after having taken the important settlement of Afmadu and proceeded on eastward through Buloerillo)
 A British cruiser, the communi- que said, appeared off Mogadiscio, capital of Italian Sonlaliland. 250- miles up the coast from Chisirnaio.
 The communique said that the cruiser was driven of by Italian bombing planes.
 It was asserted that another Brit ish cruiser, specified as of the Cairo type, had been hit by bomb from one of formation of Italian planes off the west African coast.
 The exact position was not given.
 (The Cairo is one of four 4,200 ton British cruisers rebuilt as anti aircraft carriers. Though full details of their armament are not available, they are listed as mounting only anti-aircraft guns)
 It was asserted that in the Keren sector of Italian Eritrea the British had slowed down their pressure.
 According to the communique, during "mopping up" operations af- ter fighting in this sector Thursday the Italians picked up number of arms and quantities of munitions and learned that the British Empire forces had suffered heavy losses.

.CURTAILMENT .OF FBRASSHURTS PLANTS NOn=Essential Brass PrOd- ucts May Be Held Up for
 Defense Needs PLAN GETS MUCH
 CAPITAL ATTENTION Many Items Made Locally Might Suffer If Strict
 Ban Is Imposed

Manufacture of non-eSsen- tial brass products would be either curtailed or eliminated to make available more brass for defense needs, under a plan now being considered at Washington by the Office of Production Management, the super defense c a b in e t" headed by William s. Knud- sen and Sidney Hillman. Adoption of the plan would vitally affect Waterbury, the na- tion's brass manufacturing center.
 Any action taken by the o. P. M. will probably first take the form of a request for curtailment of pro- duction of non-essentials which are made of brass. It is said at Wash ington that an original list would include such items as novelty jewell ", pipes and brass hardware. The manufacturers of such goods would be asked to use plastics or soraf other substitute for brass.
 Grass Getting Scarce
 The plan has been taken up by the Office of Production Management because the present production of brass is not sufficient for military purposes and may be exhausted at some time in the future. Army and Navy heads are said to have reported that not enough brass is available to manufacture shell castings and many other defense items.
 A large part of local brass pro- duction is now being done for the Army and Navy, huge government orders having poured into this city since last. June. Principal defense production plants here are the Sco- will Manufacturing Company, Amer ican Brass Company and Chase Brass and Copper Company, but other local plants have also re- ceived many government orders.
 Creates Problem
 Even a small curtailment of the use of brass for purposes other than defense orders would create an i1n- portant problem for local factories in the handling of regular domestic orders, and manufacturers here will keep a close watch on Washington developments.
