Governor Gruening Wants AIaskans 10 Work
 on Highway

A radiogram received by Acting Governor E. L. Bartlett today from Gov. Ernest Gruening in Wash ington, indicates that the Gover- nor is attempting to secure pref .rential treatment for Alaska resi- dents in connection with work on the International Highway.
 The Governor, said Bartlett, par ticularly desires to take care of the needs of Bristol Bay fishermen who may be unable to work this summer. Bartlett pointed out that while regulations approved by Sec retary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes open up Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula region to nor- mai fishing operations, the prob- lem of transportation has not yet been solved, and the fishermen and cannery workers may be unable to work this season.
 Bartlett said Chat every effort is being made to divert the moderate amount of tonnage which would be required for the valuable red fish pack, but that no assurances have been given by those in charge that the necessary vessels will be avail able
 The Acting Governor said that in the event fishing does not take place, every effort will be made to see to it that residents obtain employment elsewhere. He said that all Federal agencies in Alaska, hiring labor, will be acquainted with the situation so that Bristol Bay and Alaska Peninsula fishermen will receive the preferential treat ment to which they are entitled.
 Bartlett said that it is believed that in most cases the busy con- struction season ahead will solve the problem which might other wise exist to the westward if there is no fishing.

the closed period for commercial shrimp fishing will extend from February to April 30, instead of from March l to April IS, as was the case last year The tolerance on the number of small shrimp in any box or container taken for commercial purposes has been re- duced this year from 50 to 25 per cent of the total catch.
 A number of changes have been made in the general regulations which apply to all of Alaska.
 Requirements with regard to the dismantling of salmon traps at the end of the fishing season have been modified to allow an elapse of l2 hours after the beginning of any seasonal closed period before the traps must be made imperative
 New regulations on the use of trawls will permit fishing with this type of apparatus, except for sal mon, herring and Dungeness crabs
 Protection has been provided for the giant crab in Alaska waters prohibiting the taking at any time of female crabs of this species Likewise, male king crabs measur- ing less than and E inches in greatest width of shell, may not be taken legally.
 Changes of time have been made to make the time of fishing con- form with Standard War Time.
 A new section was added for thi. season, entitled Native Fishing Rights It reads as follows
 No trap shall be established ir any site in which any Alaska native or natives has or have any right. of fishery by virtue of any grant or by virtue of aboriginal occupancy by any person other than such na- tive or natives. Any native or na. tives claiming such rights may peti. tion to the Secretary of the Inter- for for hearing with respect te the validity of such claim, anc prior to any such determination such claimant and any interested parties desiring to appear in op- 1 position to such claims shall have an opportunity to be heard" 1 As in previous years, the new regulations will be published in codified form and simplified inter. pretations will be made available ir each district.

WAR DAMAGE BILL
 EFFECTIVE SOON

Insurance of property against loss or damage which might result from enemy attack has been made available to the public through the passage on March 18 of Senate Bill s. 2198 by Congress which appro- priated a sum, not to exceed $l,000, 100000 to be used by the Recon struction Finance Corporation through its War Damage Corpora tion.
 The Bill provides that $1,000, ,000,- 900 to be used by the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation through it's War Damage Corporation ito provide, through insurance, rein surance, or otherwise, reasonable protection against loss of or damage to property, real and personal. which may result from enemy at- tack
 According to the bill such protec- tion shall be made available through the War Damage Corporation on and after a date to be determined by the Secretary of Commerce, which shall not be later than July l, 1942, upon the payment of such premium or other charge, and sub- ject to such terms and conditions, as the War Damage Corporation. with the approval of the Secretary of Commerce, might establish, but, in view of the national interest in- volved, the War Damage Corpora tion shall from time to time estab- fish uniform rates for each type of property with respect to which such protection is made available, and, in order to establish basis for such rates, the corporation is to estimate the average risk of loss on all property of the type referred to in the United States.
 Properties Covered
 The protection is applicable to property situated in the United States proper, the Philippine Is- lands, Canal Zone, territories and possessions of the United States as well as other places that may be determined by the President to be under the dominion and control of the United States, also property in transit between any points located in any of the foregoing, and to all bridges between the United States and Canada and between the United States and Mexico provided that the protection is not to be applic- able after the date determined by the Secretary of Commerce to property in transit upon which the United States Maritime Commis- sion is authorized to provide marine war-risk insurance. Although the bill calls for the plan to be in operation not later than July, l, of this year, it is expected that Jesse Jones and the REC will beat that deadline by 30 to 60 days.
 In its final form, the bill elimin- ates the so-called free insurance feature which is understood to have held it up in committee for sev- eral days.

 President Roosevelt didn't make any speech as he entered his tenth year in the White House, but if he had he might well have repeated the message of his inaugural ad- dress on the bleak March day in 1883 when he told the nation he would ask for power "as great as the power that. would be given to me If we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe"
 The President took little time at all to observe the passing of an other year of his stewardship. He went to church, but there was nc sermon-just prayers, prayers for help in accomplishing his cruellest task, ito convert retreat into ad- vance"
