Via the Department of the Interior Information
Service complete with Owl stamp, have re-
ceived press release from the office of the Coor-
dinator of Fisheries, Washington, d c. And it seems
to be chock full of errors.
The Coordnator quotes figures on the pack, and
concerning canneres that make very good reading
elsewhere, but nevertheless misleading and in
accurate
Last years pack, according to the statement,
amounted to 100000 cases This is not true. The
true figure. released in Alaska to all newspapers
last season 5075000
In addition, the Coordination says 1913 canneries
were in operation last year in Alaska, another mis-
leading statement. The correct figure was SO
The Coordinators estimate that this years pack
will hit the 5,500,000 mark is also dangerous
prediction especially if this figure used along with
others to determine the amount of food that may
may not be available next year.
There is definite ground for a belief that there
will be IS percent reduction in operating plants
this year, and there is still undisclosed amount
of mobile fishing gear that will be lost to the fish
ing industry not to mention the manpower hereto
fore available.
An estimate of perhaps 100000 would by
no means be conservative From where we
sit it looks very optimistic The other figure looks
fantastic.

FROM 1T. COL. TO PRIVATE

For instance. here is the expert
ence of several youngsters who
fought against Fascism in Spain
and who wanted to fight against
it in the American Army.
approximately one year ago, John
Gates, a lieutenant colonel OF the
18Th International Brigade in
Spain, enlisted in the u S. Army.
In Spain Vincent Sheean and Her
bert Matthews of the New York
Times cabled back dispatches on
his bravery. In the u. S. Army he
joined the 59th Armored Artillery
Battalion, Camp chafee, Ark,
where he became a sergeant. Then
as his unit was about to 60 over
seas, his commander received a
telegram from the Adjutant Cen
eral IN Washington ordering Gates
transferred to service unit -
which means no combat service
throughout the war
No explanation was given. Two
lieutenant colonies thought SO much
of Gates that they interviewed But
nothing happened. There was only
mysterious silence in Washington
Finally Gates sent a letter to
President Roosevelt.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel
TUESDAY, APRIL 20

Good and evil planetary aspects
are active today which is, however,
fortunate for labor 1t is not a
lucky date for beginning any new
work.
HEART AND HOME: Families
viii feel .keenly the vacancies
caused by members in the Service.
This month should be stimulating
to older women who will take over
domestic tasks from which they
have been long relieved. Many
grandmothers will help in the nur-
series established for children OF
young mothers who are employed
and thus find comfort through
coming days of deep anxiety. The
stars warn that girls as well as
boys will sacrifice their lives in
foreign lands. fss
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Through
this month and next the enormous
cost of the war will cause great fin
ancial problems in Washington
where new methods of raising vast
amounts of money will be dis
cussed. Despite rationing retail
merchants will be fortunate. In
flation will be subtly progressive
and spending Of earnings, too ex-
travagant for the national welfare.
Legislation to curb spending will
continue to be discussed, although
buying of war bonds will be even
more general than in previous
months. Prosperity will be evident
in cities large and small.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Practical
experienced men will replace the
orists in many bureaus in Washing
ton in response to protests from
citizens whose war efforts are re-
tarded by unwise Government regu-
laticns. In this connection critics
may be persistent in their fault
finding. The tendency to charge
that many white collar men are
holding comfortable positions in
stead of fighting with the armed
forces will be emphasized. Special
privileges gained through political
pull will be suspected, often when
suspicious are lu1justified.
INTERNATIONAL. AFFAIRS S:
AS the United Nations muster more
millions of men than ever were
sent out to combat, Axis powers
will show signs OF fear. Every sue
cess by the Allies will spur the enc
mics to desperate measures, ffend-
ish in their savagery. There is ar
ofniilous sign for our prisoners who
should become subjects for ex-
change or designated protection
from torture or starvation This is
a time for determined negotiations
astrologers declare afse
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of advance
ment. Civilians will benefit through
technical training.
Children born ON this day prob
ably will be energetic and intelli-
gent. Many will have exceptional
talents. ~
