Sfdtement-Medsure
Called Subsidy

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The
Peoples Lobby, Inc, said in a state
ment today that United States Sem
ator Mon c. Wallgren, Democrat of
the State of Washington, has been
the victim of a very fast one in
introducing his bill to revise the
Alaska fishing code.
The lobby denounced the bill as
a subsidy to the salmon big con-
Germs" and further said the $50
called Wallgren bill would make a
gift to a few large packing COM
panies of the ocean bottom lands
worth 5000 100000"
The bill, the lobby says, will grant
perpetual and exclusive rights to
valuable trapping areas in the Al
askan waters to half dozen big
Gamers who have not been rooters
for price control.
The bill is now on the Senate CAL
endar and provides that holders of
fish trap licenses in Alaskan waters
will have priority on them when the
law goes into effect.
The lobby said the measure will
give big salmon companies perm
anent stranglehold on probably the
most valuable fishery in North Am
erica

had quite a bit to offer today on

it is very good answer to some
people who have been wanderiny
around asking bellhops whether we
had q foreign policy
The paragraph said the United

world based upon freedom, equality
and justice; a world in which all
persons regardless of race, color d
