:. FREEBURN SAYS SALMON SEASON
 IN SITkA GOOD

While the season was unusually late this year, causing the salmon pack in the Sitka area to fall below that of last year, it has been an excellent season on the whole" !" Lawrence Freeburn, President, Gen. eral Manager and part owner of the Pyramid Salmon Company said to- day.
 MT F1eeburn arrived in Juneau last night with Alaska Coastal Air lines and expects to return to Sitka today or tomorrow. During his stay in Juneau, he was initiated into the B.P.O. Elks, No. APO at last nights meeting.

SENATE 0kEH E GIVEN ON FISH BILLS
Would Regulate 0ffshore Salmon Fishing on
 Pacific Coast

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. The Senate has approved legislation drastically regulating offshore sal mon fishing on the Pacific Coast and to provide for study of other marine life to determine causes of depletion and to plan for coriser- vation legislation
 Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon introduced the two bills which were passed and sent to the House for ratification.
 One would prohibit offshore sal mon fishing in the south latitude 50 degrees north except under li- censes from the Fish and Wildlife Service. This would cover all waters off Washing ton, Oregon and Cal ifornia. The legislation carries heavy penalties for violations and enables the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice to coordinate offshore fishing with inshore fishing. now controlled by the three states.
 A Senate special committee on conservation and wildlife resources has reported that offshore fishing is not now regulated and abuses which tend to deplete salmon runs have resulted.
 The second measure would auth orize $100,000 for a complete study of shrimp, crabs, Holsters and oys- ters and commercial clans.

 As for the thousand-plane raids on German cities, this observer said very emphatically and from first-hand knowledge that they were far more spectacular than effectual. To rage a city is one thing; to rage enough camouflaged and well-hidden war factories to wreck the war effort or even halt it for any length of time is an- other.
 These are just some of the per- sorial opinions expressed by one man-but that man is in a posi- ton to be in the know. He may be wrong, but so may be others.

 Milne Bay is about 10 miles wide at the mouth and 20 miles long at the tip of Papua Peninsula, some 225 miles from the Allied held Port Moresby, which apparently was the first aim.
 Besides pounding ships and land- ing barges, Allied fliers caused the Japs heavy losses of fuel.

How United States Steel
Earned Its Living in 1911

Direct and indirect demands for de-
Tense and lend-lease needs have
reached the equivalent of more than
three-fourths of u. s. Steels current
steel shipments. Irving s Olds, Chair
man of the Board of Directors, dis
closed in the 1941 Annual Report of
United States Steel Corporation, re-
leased today. He stated that through
out the year 1941 "the entire resources
and facilities of United States Steel
Corporation and subsidiaries have
been at the call of the Government"
"The Government during the year
has availed itself of the facilities of
the subsidiaries of United States Steel
Corporation to the extent of taking a
substantial part of their production
and will take an even larger part of
their total output in 1912 to meet the
basic needs of the nation" Mr.. Odds
explained.
Steel production for military, naval,
and other national emergency needs
have been accelerated in every prac-
tical way, said Mr.. Olds Referring to
U. s. Steels policy of full coopera-
ton with the Government, the Chair
man indicated that certain subsidiaries
have undertaken the construction OF
vast additional steel-making and fin
ishing facilities, as part of the steel
expansion program deemed advisable by
the Government. A major portion of
this expansion is being done at the
expense and for the account Of the
Government.
The 1941 report enumerated a wide
variety of products being manufactured
by subsidiaries of u. S. Steel for wal
purposes. In addition to all kinds OF
rolled and finished steel, the list
inclued naval, maritime and other
ships armor and protective deck plate
bomb castings, unloaded shells, shell
forgings, gun firing mechanisms, mil
itary pipe lines, naval propulsion
equipment, submarine cable, torpedo
impulse TASKS, fabricated landing mats
