MAY GET
FISH NOW
Fifteen thousand Cases
Released for Consump-
tion in NorthIdnd

The Office of War Information
at Seattle today radiogramed the
following to The Empire:
Alaskans are to get salmon. CT
villain residents of Alaska were on
Tuesday afternoon given reason
for general rejoicing when the
OPA, through its Alaska territorial
director, Mildred r. Hermann, an
nounced that $4,000 cases of
canned salmon had been released
to householders in the Sockeye
Capital of the world.
Although the salmon pack in
Alaska for 1912 was unusually
large, householders in that district
were given less of their famous
products than could be obtained
in Kansas City or Kanakee.
The reason for this, it appears,
was that the salmon pack was
shipped to distributors who in turn
supply Army and Navy needs.
Fifty thousand cases are said to
have been returned to Alaska
through the Department of the
Interior but little if any of this
consignment found its way in to
regular trade channels.
The result was that while resi-
dents in California, Wyoming, Hi
nois, or any OF the 48 states were
able to procure and enjoy the fam
GUS sockeye crop of 1912, those in
the land from whence it came got
naught but cold and fishy eye
from retailers when they too, ex-
pressed the wish for a can or two.
That, however, is now being ad-
justed to an appreciable extent.
Not only will Alaskans be given 49,
600 cases for 1943 but similar quo
tas have been set for 1914 and
1945.

improved. The Council urged that
action be taken making more air.

Alaska routes.
I'm recent weeks, air mail service
has been seriously irregular and
entirely inadequate and we have
been informed these frequent delays

The Postmaster General also was
asked to revaluate the entire mai
