DECLINE IN SALMON
 PACK EXPECTED THIS YEAR

WASHlNG1ON- The 1S44 sal mon pack will be about 200 900 cases under that of last year, Ira N. Gabrielson, Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service estimat- ed, and attributed the decline principally to severe weather.
 In his reort to Secretary of the Interior Ickes, Gabrielson said the sharpest decline is expected in the pink salmon runs in southeastern Alaska, where the exceedingly cold winter of 1942-43 is believed to have killed a large percentage of the species.
 The outlook is better in central Alaska, where the pack may be as large as last year. Normal runs are expected in western Alaska.
 Gabrielson predicted a pack of 5,2OO,000 cases.

 MAY BE DISCONTINUED

WASHINGTON-Rep. Norman of Washington said today that the prospects appear good for he gov ernment ito halt tthe high cost project of getting airplane spruce out of the TOngass National For est in Alaska"
 He said suggestion had been made to the War Production Board tthat the project be dis continued because of tthe high cost. The mills and forests of Washington and Oregon could cas- fly supply all spruce needed in air planes for the war effort, he de clared. He said tthe Tongass pro ject already had cos several mil- lion and produced little lumber. He sair it was undertaken when spruce was needed gadly but late ly there is an excess in the pro- duction of aluminium which has caused a drop in the demand for spruce.
 Norman said the WIPE had re- piled to the suggestion that it was in substantial agreement" with tthe arguments against continuing the project and J. Philip Boyd, head of the lumber products divis- ion, after collecting data was con vinced thte project should be dis continued in the near future.
