Edward Grigg, Permanent Under
Secretary of State of War, told the

Emanuel ShinweH, Laborite said:
I'VE have no intention of throwing
the British Commonwealth nations
overheard to satisfy the American
press or any one else. There are
some in the United States who
would like to take the Common

separate agreements to our own
disadvantage and that would be dis
astrous to the Commonwealth. We
are not prepared to play second

only THREE SALMON
CANNING PLANTS TO.
run, PUGET SOUND

WASHINGTON, April 81. - In
order to save manpower and equip
ment, the Puget Sound salmon can
ming industry was placed under a
concentration order by Coordination
of Fisheries Harold l.. Ickes and as
4 result fewer packing plants will
operate this year than in any year
since 1893.
Following the successful opera
ton of the Alaska salmon packing
industry under concentration plan,
which is being repeated this year,
representatives of the industry in
the Puget Sound area requested that
a similar plan be placed in effect
for their segment of the industry.
Only three plants will operate this
year instead of the usual eleven al
though one standby plant will be
available if the run warrants its
operation. A single plant, the larg-
est in the area, will pack salmon
for nine different firms. This plant,
at Anacortes, Washington, has a
capacity of 10000 cases day and
storage facilities for 100000 cases.
The other operating plants will be
at Deer Harbor and La Conner,
Washington.
A saving of more than 525 cannery
workers and tender operators will
be effected by the consolidation
plan, and 81 cannery tenders will
be released for use in other activ-
files. There will also be considerable
savings in the use of diesel oil and
the maintenance of salmon cannery
equipment.

The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1944-04-21
WHAT LED TO DISASTER

The first paratroOp drop over
Sicily took place before midnight OF
August 9-10, before the Navy ar
arrived, and was amazingly success
full. Out of about 500 planes par
ticipating, only two were lost. Gen.
eral Eisenhower sent his congrat-
ulations.
Prior to the opening of the Sic
ilian campaign, the paratroop OPP
erations had been under the COM
mand of Colonel Mike Dunn, a
fighting Irishman, who had Sc
cured an agreement from the Navy
that it would not fire on any planes
going into Sicily for fear of mis-
taken identity.
Once the Navy made this agree
ment. it Immediately brought press
ure to change it, fearing enemy air
raids from Sicily, against Allied
shipping.
mo-" said Dunn, "your boys are
light-fingered. They start shooting
at the drop of the hat and, once
one starts, the whole bunch will
join in. They can't tell who they're
firing at in the dark
The Navy then proposed that a
certain air corridor be marked out
through which U. S. planes could
fly with safety, but Dunn argued
that they might get lost. fly off
course, and be shot down.
Later, however, Brig. Gen. p. L.
Williams, then temporarily at loose
ends, was placed in command of
the Sicilian air-borne infantry OPP
Grafton, and finally yielded to Navy
pressure. The early order was
changed.
