5EINER5' STRIKE
 DELAYS OPENING
 CANNING SEASON

Several hundred fishermen in the Icy Straits Area are idle and sal mon canning production has been i interrupted in five cannerieS in this district of Southeast Alaska because seiners and salmon packers have not yet reached an agreement re- garding the price of fish.
 Canneries affected by the strike include Icy Straits Salmon Company at Hoonah, Douglas Fisheries, Peril Straits Packing Company at Todd, and the Pyramid Salmon Company at Sitka, all Of which would nor- mally have begun their season June 20.
 Gill netters at Yakutat have also gone On strike according to a wire received today by Clarence Olson, U. s. Bureau of Fisheries Super visor for Alaska.
 For several years jurisdictional dispute has existed between the CIO, AF'L and the ANB regard ing the union membership of resi- dent fishermen and cannery work CTS, according to Judge w. c. Ar mold, who as representative of the Alaska Salmon Industry, "Incorpor- ated, has been attending negotia- tions at Hoonah for the last sev- eral days.
 Unions, Packers Join
 This year, however, the CIO and AFL, in conformity with their na- tional policy of not interrupting production, have joined with the Salmon Industry and the govern ment, in a program to expedite operations. Under the supervision of the Consolidation Service of the Department of Labor. some 35 labor and fishing contracts hay been consummated, or are in the pro- cess of final consummation," Judge Arnold said.
 l Industry contracts closed with the AFL and CIO with the aid of the Consolidation service have grant, ed workers and fishermen increases averaging about 25 percent, with 30 percent as the maximum. Both the Industry and the Icy Straits Salmon Company have offered the ANB an increase in fish prices in excess of 30 percent with further stipulation that if higher price should be contracted with any oth- ! CT group, the benefit should ac- crue, retroactively to the member ship of the ANB," Judge Arnold said. "The ANB, however, stands on demand for increases exceed l ing 100 percent"
 Pack Requisitioned For War
 The entire pack of Alaska canned salmon has been requisitioned for war use by the government and the price which the government will pay has not yet been fixed.
 Contrary to their expressed na- tional policy against stoppages of work, and, apparently in violation of instructions from their union of ficials, a substantial number of the members of the United Fishermen's Union, a CIO affiliate, are also re- fusing to work though they admit there is no dispute between their union and the Industry said Judge Arnold.
 Judge Arnold returned this mor- ming from Hoonah where he has been for several days. William Paul Jr, who is representing the ANB in the dispute, also returned to Juneau today from Hoonah.
 According to MT. Paul. the ANB offered the Icy Straits Salmon Com pany to fish for the minimum guar antee offered by the canneries, sub- feet to conciliation by OPA as oi the pack conditions on August 15 1941.
 An estimate of the number Oi boats lying idle while negotiations proceed is somewhere between 6t and 120.

 Civilian Aid
 Outside U.- }.
New Bill Would Help In jured, Captured and
 Dead in War Action

WASHINGTON, June g - The Senate has passed and sent to the House legislation authorizing bene- fits to civilian personnel injured killed or captured in war action at military installations out side of the United States.
 The action was passed by voice vote after the Senate had agreed unanimously to strike from the bill provision authorizing the pay ments of monthly benefits ranging from $1O to $85 for civilians within the United States who were in jured, killed or captured in enemy action.
 Senator Claude Pepper said this provision will be included with the authorization to establish an em- ergency war disaster relief organ ization in a new measure which will be introduced and referred to the Senate Finance Committee for study.

SEVEN TONS OF
 RUBBER TURNED
 IN HERE SO FAR

Tom Dyer, chairman of the Ro- tary Club committee for the cur rent Juneau rubber salvage drive reported to club members at a noon luncheon meeting in Percy's Cafe today that seven tons of rubber have been turned in to date.
 He said that the rubber turned in so far has been easy to find and that the seven tons was only good start, that it didn't begin to dent the potential pile of scrap rubber available.
 There are two pounds of rubber sold for every three turned in, he reported, and said that much of the rubber for which one cent a pound is expected, has other mater ial in with it. thus lowering it's value. Some articles, therefore, will bring only about three-fourth of their weight in cash value.
 Dyer stressed that time is short and that the drive will end in a
 
 week He urged all residents to realize that the government needs the rubber badly and to cooperate accordingly.
 Boy Scouts are making house to house collections. Grocery store del- livery trucks also will pick up the scrap, and residents may turn in their rubber at either Juneau Motors or Bowling & Davlin Go.
 A letter was read at the meeting in connection with the Rotary Clubs float in the Fourth of July parade, and the following com mittee was appointed to prepare the float: Lu Liston, chairman, Don Skuse and Claude Carnegie.
 Guests of the club were Dick Gar win, son of Homer Garvin, It. Rob- ert Tomlinson, U S. Navy, It. T. B. McKinstry, Port Captain, U. S. Coast Guard, and O. F. Benecke of Alaska Coastal Airways.

NEW WATERFRONT REGULATIONS FOR
 JUNEAU REPORTED

It. T. B. Mckinstry. D. S. Coast Guard. Juneau Port Captain who recently repaced Ensign John Lumpkin, tolc members of the Ju- neau Rotary Club today of new regulations which are being en- forced on the city waterfront to further insure the safety of the docks and the city.
 He said that orders have been given prohibiting smoking on any dock on the entire Juneau water front. In addition, no persons will be allowed on the docks from now on unless they have specific busi- ness there. Guards have been post ed to enforce these orders.
 Lt McKinstry, who came here from Ketchikan, said that similar orders have been enforced there with good results. He said that the lack of fire boats in Juneau make the docks an extremely dangerous fire hazard, that without fire boat. dock fire would be hard to control. It. McKinstry has brought two pumps up from Ketchikan and said that they will be installed on small boats to remedy this lack of equipment to some extent.
 The Port Captain stressed that these precautions are being taken mainly for protecting the city and its inhabitants, as well as to reduce the other dangers prevalent in war time.
 A full text of the new regula- tions will be issued shortly.

Urge Government to Aid
Housing Plans for Cities

Expressing it's belief that the re-
building of the extensive and grow
ing blighted areas in our cities is
an urgent necessity, the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
suggests that U. S. H. A. be re-
modelled to turn it's activities to the
assistance of private redevelopment
companies, chartered by it, to re-
build large areas in the blighted
districts.
blight and decay in the close-in
areas is in itself major cause OF
bad housing" the statement, signed
by Newton c. Farr, Chicago, presi-
dent of the association, and Herbert
U. Nelson, Chicago, executive vice
president, points out.
decline of these areas has many
causes, but chief among them, no
doubt, is the increased use of the
automobile. This has caused too sud-
den and implanted decentralization.
The blighted areas cannot be reas-
sembled, replanned, and rebuilt by
private effort unless government
helps. If government and private
business can develop an appropriate
plan for this vast undertaking, it
will help local government and slim
ulate employment. We are working
on the details of practical plan of
this kind which would, we believe,
put many dollars of private funds
to work for every dollar invested
by government.

Traces of Ice Age Life
Discovered in California

LOS ANGELES.-Several thou
sand fragments of Ice age animals
already have been found in a ge-
illogical project recently begun in
California by group of scientists
jointly sponsored by the city Of In
glewood and the University of South
ern California.
The fauna from the Pleistocene,
or "Ice," age-estimated at from
10000 to $4,000 years ago-is sub
stantially the same in the Centinela
park area as that found at Rancho
La Brea, according to DR.. Clements,
in charge of the work.
While the latter are better pre-
served as specimens because of the
tar pits which trapped the animals,
the new discoveries will prove high
ly valuable in a scientific way, DR..
Clements stated.
"This deposit gives truer repre-
sentation of the distribution of the
various types of animals than do the
tar pits where a higher proportion
of carniverouS animals such as the
-toothed tiger were attracted
by the trapped mammoths and 9TH
er animals" the geologist explained.
Among the fragments already
found at depths of approximately so
feet below the present ground level
are portions of the imperial ele-
plant, mastadons, horse about the
size of a present-day draft horse,
camels, bison, saber-toothed tigers,
great ground sloths, tiny deer and
many water birds indicating that
the area under examination was
river during the Ice age.
Also evident from specimens
found by the biologists is the fact
that the Ice age had heavy rain
fall and abundant vegetation.

Racing Pigeons Conquer
Tricky Grand CANYON

PRESCOTT, ARIZ.-Pigeon fan
ciers finally have proved that car
rier pigeons can fly from the bot
tom of the Grand canyon despite the
treacherous wind currents in the
mile-deep gorge.
Last year, an attempt was made
to hold pigeon derby" from the
bottom of the canyon to Prescott.
There were six starters. Five never
were seen again. The sixth was
carried from the bottom of the can
yon on mule.
This year, however, there were
Is starters and majority of the
birds reached their cotes at Pres
colt.

Slip Brings Career

Accidentally spilling glass Of
water on his hostess brought Angelo
Bisenz fame and fortune as an in
dustrial designer in New York city.
He noticed that the glass and many
other articles which we handle in
our daily lives were not designed
to fit our hands.
Bisenz changed all this by what
he calls "formagenic design" He
has designed door-knobs which can
be opened with soapy hands, glasses
with a non-slippable groove, a safe
ty razor that is easily gripped with
the fingers and many other house
hold utensils.
He says that his idea of "forma-
genie design" is just the adoption
of utensils to the human body and
it's requirements. He could 60 right
through a house, he says, and real
ly modernize it formagenically.

Upright Boys
Give Accounting
Return After 10 Years to Tell
Of Work Since Talk
With Edison.

NEW YORK.-Nine young men
kept a solemn covenant with Thorn
as A. Edison-a promise they ut
tered as Americas brightest boys"
when they knelt 10 years ago at the
feet of the great inventor and told
him they would make of themselves
useful servants of American sci
ence.
A decade ago they were among 40
high school lads picked painstaking-
ly by every state and the District
of Columbia to submit themselves
to Edison's scrutinizing quest for
the nations brightest potential sci
enlist.
Nine of them-averaging q in age
showed up as guests of Thomas
A. Edison industries in observance
Of the 1880 competitions and their
visit with the late inventor. The
others were too busy with their jobs
or were too far away to come, in
Guiding the winner of Edison's 1880
scholarship-Arthur o. Williams Jr.,
a professor of physics at the Uni.
versity of Maine.
Accounting Is Given.
What the nine had done during the
decade and what the years have
brought them was summed up in
this collective account of them
selves:
Pursued scientific courses and OBJ
tanned degrees from the nations
best colleges and universities.
Without exception obtained re-
sponsible employment in their cho-
sen field Immediately upon gradua-
ton.
Entered the decade bewildered at
world events-particularly the world
economic depression.
Left the decade bewildered at
world events-the war and it rami-
fcations.
Within an average of 312 years out
of school, earned an average income
of $2,535.
Three married and one of them
became father.
Came to realize their Importance
as scientists to the nations defense.
Hope to Aid Defense.
One hopes to contribute to nation
al defense through research work
on automatically controlled, pilot
less airplanes, while the others hope
to help contribute to national scien-
tific achievements through general
research.
At a luncheon at the New York
Worlds fair, Eugene G. Reed, as
sistant vice president of Thomas A.
Edison, Inc, of West Orange, N. j.,
greeted the scientists as gentle
men who have made good" He pre-
sented each with a medal for up
holding Edison's ideals of service to
science.
Earlier, Charles Edison, son of
the inventor, greeted the young men
at the West Orange plant
1--WE left the West Orange COM
petitions 10 years ago dazed by
world events" said Gordon K.
Burns of Westfeld, N. j., physi-
cist with the Western Electric COM
pany. "We were in a fog then. I
hope now that we have dispelled the
fog of our youth and are making
contributions to science"

San Antonio American Venice

San Antonio, Texas, city of light
and Imagination, of beauty and ugli-
ness, old and new-saunters, smiles
and ultimately arrives, like her
clear little river, winding under AZ
bridges to give her the name of
"the American Venice" The river
is being "beautifed" these days,
with Venetian bridges, curving stair
ways, flagstone paths, tropical
plants and small open-air theater
with the seats on one side of the
stream and the stage on the other.
A hint of Athens in the masses of
garden flowers and oranges for sale
along the sidewalks; a reminder of
Italy in the rose red tower of the
courthouse and the expresses that
lift long fingers into an almost Ital-
ian sky-though Italy would never
hang Christmas lights and tinsel on
a cypress tree!

Live Longer in Australia

Mans normal life span ranges
from so to 80 years, but his longev-
ity chances vary from country to
country. According to the Statisti-
cal Year Book of the League of Ma
tons, a man may expect to live
longer in Australia and New Zea-
land than in any other country on
earth. In those two countries, boy
may look forward to IS years of
life, girl to SO years. Next best
place seems to be the United States,
where life expectancy is 1913 years
for the girls and 6O.72 for boys.
Worst country of all in this respect
is India, where the life expectancy
of male infants is only q years.
