Chairman Flanagan Attacked.
Early yesterday the hearings were
featured by personal attack on
Chairman Flanagan, and indirectly
on Engineer Commissioner Charles
w. Kutz, by the Treasury attorney.
Mr.. Hill accused the PUG majority
OF treating Government representa-
tives like "unwarranted children" He
argued the PUG malority had so
limited the scope of the present
proceedings Government intervenors
could hardly crawl through the
aperture" and that it was unfair"
Mr.. Hill asserted "the attitude"
OF the PUG majority demonstrated
that YOU don't want the Govern
ment here"
Mr. Harrison retorted this decla-
ration was disproved by the fact
the commission had permitted the
Treasury and the OPA and other
Government agencies to participate
as intervenors.
Chairman Flanagan said he re-
garded Mr.. Hills complaint as "un-
fair" and he added: Il have done
lot of listening in this case and
sometime before the end of the
proceedings you cmeaninc Mr.. Hill
may have to do some listening"

Government make every effort to
help the industry overcome as far
as possible these difficulties.
Needs Better Service.
For years, he said. the CONNER
cial fisheries have been the step
child" of the Fish and Wildlife
Service which has failed to provide
the type of service which the in
dustry needs to survive.
Meanwhile, another war problem
of the ndustry-rationing and price
ceilings-has been set for review by
Mr. Bland's committee A hearing
has been called for next week to
discuss the whole broad question
az it affects the fishing industry,
with view to determining a course
of action.
Committee members have ex-
pressed confidence that a satisfac-
tory agreement will be reached on
the question of point ationing of
fishery products, and an early an
nouncement has been predicted.
There have been expressions of
concern, however, over reports that
price ceilings might be imposed on
fresh fish. and plans are being laid
to impress on administrative Off
cials that such move would be both
impracticable and unwise because
of the many variable and unpredict-
able factors that enter into cost of
production.

provide that:
The United Nations approach the

The United Nations designate and
establish sanctuaries in Allied and

The United Nations provide the

Rabbi Wise said. You and I know
that Hitler will not destroy the
Jews. The destruction of the Jews
