 IN BRISTOL BAY
 AREA THIS YEAR
Olson Also Reports Better than Expected Back
 Elsewhere

Fishery Management Supervisor Clarence L. Olson of the Fish and Wfldlife Service said preliminary reports from the fishing areas in- dicate more than successful sea- son this year.
 He reported very successful run ill the Bristol Bay area where it is estimated that more than half million cases of reds have been packed already, with two weeks time of the heaviest packing yet to come. Olson estimated that the pack in this area will reach a mil lion and a quarter cases this year. Last years poor year showed only half million cases for the sea- son.
 The pink run is exceeding expec- tations in the Prince William Sound area with preliminary re- turns indicated a good run for the usually small odd year. A total of 80,000 cases were packed the first week and there is still three weeks remaining for fishing and pack ing in this area.

SUBMARINES TAKES NUNS TO SAFETY
Four Escape With 25 Civil- ians After Hiding From
 Japs Nine Months

San Francisco, Feb. 2 -(UP)- Four nuns, who hid from Japanese soldiers for nine months on Bou- gainville island, said today that they had escaped with 25 other persons in a U. s. submarine which surfaced five miles rom shore and flashed a signal in the night.
 The submarine was sent to their aid by Admiral William F. HalSey, allied commander in The South Pa cific, and completed its daring res- cue mission on New Years day. The nuns, stranded when the Jap anese occupied Bougainville in the Solomon islands, said they escaped under the noses of the Japanese" "
 They said they were sheltered by friendly natives, who warned them whenever a Japanese soldier ap- preached.
 "If it hadn't been for them none of us probably would have escaped, Sister Isabelle, teacher, said.
 When the submarine surfaced five miles from shore, unable tc pro- ceed furthe- because of coral reefs, the natives maned two out-rigger canoes and took the 29 refugees part of the way 10 the sub. They completed the joEney in rubber boats. and the natives returned to the island.
 We got away none too soon," |" Sister Isabelle said. We later learned that the Japs. apparently having found out about our plans, reached our authorization point two and one-half hours after we left. We escaped only with the clothing on our back"

WILLOW ST'.FIRE LOSS IS HIGH
,S35,OOO to $4O,OOO Da1l- N age Estimate at carrOl- i
 ton; IA Companies

.S An estimated loss Of s3Si 900 q ot OOO0 reSiltad late last night, and early today when 8 destructive blaze swept through the Carrolton apart' ment building on the corner of Willow and Pine streets. Two alarms were sent in when 1t became ap- parent to Deputy Fire Chief Martin Campion that all the possible re- sources of the fire department would be needed if the destruction of the entire building was to be avoided. Factory whistles sounding shortly after midnight aFoused the city, and called into service members of the day platoon. Fourteen companies of men and apparatus went into action. After Q bitter fight in which fire- men were hampered by the cold, wintry blasts, ice-coated ladders, slippery sidewalks and pavements, the blaze was brought under con- trol.
 The first alarm was sounded at 1l:40 o'clock. The whistles called for help at l2:24 o'clock and 1t was after 2 o'clock this morning when the last piece of apparatus was returned to It's station.
 Eight families were forced to find refuge with neighbors when flames swept through the upper part of the building and smoke filled the halI- ways. A complete evacuation of all tenants was ordered. All were re- moved by policemen and flremen without rnishap. s..
 Three ladders were raised during the hectic battle for control. Several lines of hose poured tons of water Into, the building from various angles. The fire was centered for 8 time on the fourth floor. Flames reached the roof few minutes after discovery and so illuminated the sky that hundreds of spectators were attracted to the scene from all Sec- tions of the city. Many hearing the whistles were of the opinion for a few minutes that an actual air raid was in progress.
 An investigation by Fire Marshal D. J. Lahey and his aide. Lieuten- ant Gene Legge indicated that the fire originated in or near the apart ment of Rutledge Parker on the fourth floor. MT. Parker was awakened by the odor of smoke

Washington, Feb. 2.--CUP)-Thc Treasury recommended today initia- ton of pay -as-you-go income tax collection at the source as soon as possible but opposed complete can- cellation of the past years taxes during the transition. It proposed instead that their payment be de- ferred over "a number of years" :
 The Treasury's views were pre- sented by General Counsel Randolph Paul at the opening of hearings by the house ways and means commit tee on new tax proposals and new tax collection methods. z
 Paul told the committee as the long awaited hearings on pay-as- you-go opened that the Treasury felt complete cancellations of any years taxes was "very undesirable in view of the "tt1e revenue needs of the government and the equitable distribution of the tax burden"
 He agreed, however. that "conn- p.ete doubling up would tindoubted- ly be too harsh for some taxpayers" and added: tg.
 Accordingly, defermeElt of pay ment of taxes for the transition year to the extent necessary to re- heve such hardships appear to be desirable. This is not to say that some discount. or even certain amount of forgiveness may not be found to be desirable for the same reason"

 we should create fund.-" the governor said, Ito be used to meet deficits when revenues fall off and when the difficulties of reconvert- ing our lives from a war basis to a peace basis are upon us."
 $67, 7,S27 ,297 Budget
 The governor recommended for the next two years 0 general fund budget of $67, ,927 ,197. Estimated in- come during the next two years, he told the Republican, controlled legis- lature, will be $80,955,7 700, leaving a surplus of about SIS, 100000. About $l 900 900 of this the governor asked to be put aside to buy land to in- crease the states park and forest lands. The rest he asked to be placed in post-war reserve fund for a public works building pro- gram, or other cushions, to ease the postwar reorganization period.
 By July 1 of this year, the gover- nor said, the states $25, 100000 bond issue ordered in 1897 will be wiped of the books. Instead of the 20- year period decreed in the bond is- sue, 1t will be paid off in six years.
 $5,0OO,OO0 Increase
 The $e7, 7,927, ,297 general fund bud- get, the goveror said, marked all increase of nearly 5000, 900 over the biennium now ending. "This increase" he said, "can be entirely accounted for by the amount I have included for increases in salaries, which would amount to approxi- mately one and one-half million per year or $3,000,000 for the bien- nium. These increases are abso- lutely necessary to meet the higher costs of living ." "
 The salary increase for state enl- ployes, he said, would be about 10
