WASHINGTON. D. G. April
l3.-"Washinston bureaus have
just awakened to realize the
possibilities of the vast seafocd
resources of Florida. The state
is second only TO Massachusetts
in available supplies on tho
East Coast and these have only
begun to be tapped" Represen-
tative J. Hardin Peterson. chair
man of House Merchant Ma
rine and Fisheries sub-commit-
tee. declared today.
Representative Peterson also
revealed that Bureau of Fisher
les experts have been making a
survey of the industry in Flor
ida and that more government
encouragement and assistance for
the states industry was indi-
Gated.
Meanwhile. his subcommittee
is conducting hearings on prob

which are called on 10 produce
two and one-fifth billion pounds
Of edible portions Of fish this
year. not including meals. oils
and other by-products. This is
the highest goal in history.
Appeals of Florida fishermen
for a simplified food rationing
system were discussed. Their
long hours and sea trips make
the food supply question diff
cult. Representative Peterson
also said that another difficulty
Florida faced was lack OF pro-
cessing plants. This problem
was considered by the sub-eom-
mittee and some action may re-
suit.
Some promise of tightening
of the restrictions on night fish
inc was indicated. Representa-.
tive Peterson said. These Navy
regulations have limited the
Florida output. since fishermen
have only been allowed to make
short daylight trips.
Industry representatives also
testified as to the necessity of
fish price ceilings high enough
to ensure proper returns for the
operators and to attract others
into the business. They also ask
ed that points would be kept low
enough to make seafood attrac-
tive to the retail purchaser.
Roy Z. Hendrickson, director
of Food Distribution Administra-
ton, declared here that never
before has the sea doomed so inn
portant as a source of food as
the United Nations demands
drain the normal American sup
plies.
He said that special attention
would be given any new type
canned or cured fish, with en-
phasis on sailed or dried varie-
ties suitable for consumption In
the tropics. They should keep
in warm weather without refrig-
Grafton.
To encourage the expansion
of the industry, Secretary of In

showing that the honor system Of
compliance with the prohibition Of
pleasure driving was q complete
failure.
The new ban, effective next sat-
urday, applies to both automobiles
and boats.
It practically eliminates pleasure
boating In motored vessels and
probably will result IN the closing
Of thousands Of summer homes
along the eastern seaboard.
OPA said that mo vacation and
summer home travel can be encour-
aged while the rubber and gasoline
shortages are making 1t necessary
to curtail severely many types Of
passenger car use, including driving
In many occupations.
Non-oc:upational boating was be-
ing denied, It said, because low sup
plies Of gasoline In the eastern area
has forced drastic cuts in the basic
rations Of automobiles virtually
eliminating pleasure driving" The
order specifically prohibits the use
Of gasoline In boats used for sight
seeing, pleasure parties or fishing
parties other than commercial llsh-
ing-except boats enrolled In the
Coast Guard Auxiliary.
The public roads administration
revealed the failure Of the pleasure
driving honor system. It's statistics
showed that Sunday traffic declined
enormously after January 2 when
the first ban on pleasure driving
was imposed. but rose to its former
level under the honor system.
Soon after Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Brown succeeded Leon
Henderson, he set In motion plans to
remove police enforcement features
Of the ban. and In March placed
motorists on their honor TO desist
