POOL PLAN SUGGESTED
 FISH ISSUE
B. (. Organization Makes Proposal 10 American
 HdIibut Interests

SEATTLE, April 11.-H. F. Lok- ken, Manager of the Fishing Ves- sel Owners Association today brand- ed as most unavoidable" the pro- posaI offered by the British Colum- bia Fishermen in an attempt to clear up price differentials that prompted the Canadian Northwest Fishermen to tie up their boats in conjunction with the Seattle and Alaska fleets.
 The Canadian plan provides that the OPA move prices back to 17A cents a pound, the level in l943, with the boats landing halibut ,n northern Canadian and Alaskan ports and put one cent into a pool and from this pool fishermen land ing fish in Vancouver and Seattle will be paid the one cent a pound bonus.
 The proposal is designed to offset the cost of the long haul to south- ern ports and would eliminate the recent 2h cent price reduction or dered by the OPA on halibut land- led at Prince Rupert and that touched off the present tie-up.
 The pooling arrangement is of- lfered by the British Columbia Unit ed Fishermens Union and Fishing Vessel Owners Association and it IS said that if the American fisher men turn the proposal down, they declared they would put their boats out to sea at once.
 Lokken said the plan is not feas- ible unless it is administered by the Government to force partici- patton by the boat owners. Victor Samson. Coordinator of Fisheries, Department of the Inter- for, in this area, said he considered it unlikely the Government will take on the administration of such complicated" plan.

U. S. TROOPS OCCUPY FOUR MORE AT0LL5

WASHINGTON, April l1.-United States troops hoisted the American flag over four more atolls in the mid- Pacific Marshalls, raising to IS the number of atolls occupied there.
 Tn addition the Navy Department reported that American sovereignty has been established over one large island, Mejit, in the northeastern section of the Marshalls.
 American control of the four newly occupied atolls, Ailuk, Ronoe- lap, Likiep, and Utirik, gives the Americans control of all the north eastern area of the Marshalls. Such control effectively cuts off from their homeland the Jap garrisons remaiping in the four atolls in the eastern section of the Marshall group.

 ATTENTION OF EXPERT

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Gt Col. Robert 8. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTCN--Only few on the inside know it, but part of our political failure in Italy, now con- tributing to the Italian stalemate goes back to this governments fall ure to work with Italo-Americans here at home. With several million patriotic Americans of Italian des- cent anxious to get their relatives in Italy to help the Allies, Wash ington officials have completely fumbled the ball.
 Inside story of what happened goes back to last summer, when New York Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora, Massachusetts Superior Court Justice Felix Forte, Philadelphia's Judge E. V. Alessan- droni, and several other Italo-Am- erican leaders, met with this col umnist and with Sumner Welles, then Undersecretary of State, re- garding propaganda plans to help take Italy cut of the war in "a hurry.
 This was at about the time Sicily was invaded These Italo-American leaders proposed: CD to broadcast messages to Italy urging their friends and relatives to help the Allies; @ to raise about $20,000, 900 in the United States from Italo- Americans to help feed and clothe the Italian people, thus freeing the U. s. Government of considerable burden.
 It was hoped that this gift from Italo-Americans direct to the. Ital- ian people would lift Italian morale and help unite Italy behind the Allies. Italo- Americans also hoped that the Italian people might avoid the pickering of the French, and they proposed taking into their American committee for Italian democracy persons from all walks of Italo-American life-from radi- calls to reactionaries.
 The committee included there fore Luigi Antonini of the American Labor Party on one side and, on the other, wealthy Generoso Pope, publisher of Il ProgresSo.
