 Wallqren Fisheries Bill
 On March 9 the Sena'e Com mittee on Commerce reported the bill, s. 930, faVo-ably. There Is no dissenting or minority opnlon and therefore 1 suppose we may consider the report as expressing the unanimous opinion of that commit ee. Copies of the report and of the bill as proposed to be amended were immediately mail ed to Alaska.
 The report, as an example o1 special pleading, is in some re- spects admirable. But the report, no matter how skillfully put to- ge4her. should not be permitted to deceive anyone into believing that the bill as reported is much changed from the form in which it was originally introduced. The bill is still, in my judgment, large ly, if not entirely, objectionable to most Alaskans for the follow ing reasons: 1. The report is evi- dently designed to give the im- pression that the inhibition con tained in the White Act (Act of June 6, l924 against any "exclu- sive or several right of fishery is unchanged. That provision was put in the White Act to pre- vent the parceling out of fishing areas to designated individuals or corporations, to the exclusion of all others, and is intended to pro vide for equality of opportunity for all citizens. Let us here com pare the relative provisions of the White Act and of the bill as rec commended by the Committee. The White Act states that no exclu- sive or several right of fishery shall be granted therein. nor shall any citizen of he United States be denied the right to take, pre- pare. cure or preserve fish or sheIlfish in any area of the Wa

10 prolonged and extensive liti- gation. It is conceivable that the holder of the permit to fish with a seine, if the bill is enacted will be considered to have abused the fishing privilege if he as much as speaks disrespectfully Q some one in authority. I purposely take an extreme case as an example because no person in the whole wide world can even guess in ad- vance how that particular phrase will be construed, either by the administrative officials or by the courts.
 4. The bill contains no provi- sion whatever which will safe guard residents of Alaska q against the more clamorous and often more influential residents of the States who engage in fish ing in Alaska. Our experience in the past has shown the need of some protection for residents of the Territory. Any suggestion that authority should be given, even though indirectly and per- haps with risk, for the protection of residents of Alaska is dismissed in the report as an undesirable administrative social-economic reorganization of the industry.
 5. The provision of the original bill for the creation of what is called the Alaska Fishery Re view Board" remains unchanged The Board will consist of three members and two alternates, and it is provided that "One of such members and one alternate shall be selected by employees engaged in the Alaska fishing industry

The bill as now pro posed by the commit'ee has th follow ng corresponding provi- sion: s.It is further declared te be ihe policy of the United State. that. subject 10 the provisions of this Act. no exclusive or several right of fishery shall be granted in any of the Wa-er of Alaska, nor shall any citizen of the United States be denied the right to take, prepare, cure, or preserve fish or shellfish in any area of the waters of Alaska not included in the coastal waters of the Annette Is land Reserve, where fishing [ permitted by the Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service of tn Department of the Interior.

 Those two declarations of the report are not factually correct and should not be relied upon. A comparison of the language of the White Act forbiddin9 the grant ing of any exclusive or several right of fishery and the language of the proposed bill shows that the bill does repeat the language of the White Act but also con- tains the following words which ought to be written in capitals and underlined in red ink: sub feet 10 the provisions of this Act. " In o.her words. the White Act O 1924, with it's inhibitions against exclusive or several right of fish cry. IS to remain unchanged ex- cept as modified by the provisions of the bill.

for the Ninth Circuit. The ordl- nary fisherman would find it diff ficult indeed to invoke the power and authority of either of the cour mentioned. The judicial review should be had in the dis
 ret court of the Territory Alaska, which is available to every Alaska resident. The ex- clLSion of the district court of Alaska from the courts having au hority for judicial review IS another proof, if one were need ed. that the whole bill is oriented around the idea that the Alaska f sheries should be controlled from Seattle or San Francisco and that no Alaskan should have any thing to say about them.
 T. The unjustly oppressive ele- ment of existing law providing for the seizure and forfeiture of fishing boats and fishing gear has been carried forward in S. 930 as reported without satisfactory change In any general revision of the Alaska fisheries law, we should end once and for all the features of existing law under which a fisherman's boat and gear may be seized and held for for feiture in the district court-per- haps for the entire fishing sea- son-without any conviction or even tr.al of the alleged criminal offense involved. To so seize and forfei- fishing boats and gear, even after conviction of crime, is questionable upon grounds of jus tice: but to permit the seizure and holding for forfeiture prior to conviction of crime and under circumstances which may deprive the fisherman of the use of his boat and gear for the entire sea son cannot be defended

 other provisions establishing pri- ori rights virtually in perpetu- ity; and the b Il also con aims pro- visions requiring licenses of those who fish with all types of gear. So, if the bill is passed in the form now presented, the above quoted provision of the White Act is clearly meaningless. And, therefore, he report is, n the re- spect mentioned. so far from be- ing dependable that it may ac- tually deceive those who fail to make factual check on the state ments therein contained.
 2. As indicated above the fea- lures of the original bill relating to fish traps remain virtually un- changed in the bill as reported by the committee. In commenting upon this feature of the measure, 1 the Committee Report page ID contains the following: tAs to the i legal deba'e about so-called vested rights, the committee is likewise satisfied that what is provided in section is no more than the sit uation in all faTness requires. The permit or leaseholder has no right to continue fishing If the Di- rector closes any area for conser- vation reasons. If the permittee or leaseholder has his fishing privilege taken away because con- servation requires that it be ta- ken. he has no right to compensa- sation. Moreover, under & 93f if he holder of a permit or lease dies, his heirs cannot inherit, or if he wants to sell he cannot dc so, without the specific permiss or i of the Director. If the permitted or leasee abuses the fishing privi- lege, including the deliberate continuous nonuse, he likewise loses his permit or lease In addi- ton, the lapse of a complete fish. ing cycle may destroy a priority position.
 There is nothing in the bill, ir my judgment, to justify the state. ment that if the holder of trar site lease dies, his heirs canno ! inherit. In fact, there is sound reason in law and In equity why Tiff a lease is granted, the heirs should inherit. Otherwise, there should be no lease in the first instance. The language of the re- port on this portion of the bill reinforces the conclusion that the entire measure is really written around the proposal to create vest ed permanent interests, all but perpetual, in fish traps and fish trap sites.
 3. The bill as reported still con- tains the ambiguous and therefore objectionable language providing for forfeiture of permits and leas- es for what is called in the bill 'abuse of the fishing privilege Nowhere in the law can be found any definition of what can be con. sidered "abuse of the fishing privilege" and, therefore, the use tof that term, which may mean ont thing to one person and quite an other thing to another, opens ths door wide to arbitrary action or the part of administrative author ity and is almost certain to leac

Sullivan, Gomez Start
Fight for Shortstop
Berth With Mats
Rx JOHN d. KELLER.


What may provs stirring tussle for
the Mats shortstop berth began today
with Johnny Sullivan, veteran, and
Preston Gomez, Cuban rookie, get
ting out for their first drills at the
College Park training camp. Sulli-
van appears to have the better
chance by virtue OF his big league
experience, but glowing reports of
his play in Cuba make Gomez
likely candidate.
Both arrived at camp yesterday,
Sullivan reporting late because OF
his wife's illness and Gomez being
delayed by transportation difiicul-
ties. And both looked as though
little conditioning work would be
needed to have them ready for the
championship campaign.
The rival shortstops are much
alike in build. with Sullivan weigh
ing 165 pounds, about pounds
heavier than Gomez. Each is about
5 feet 10 inches tall. In 1873 games
with the Mats last year, Sullivan
fielded .946 and batted .208. Gomez's
records are not available, but Gu
bans who preceded him to camp say
he is a flash af1eld and better
than-average hitter.
The scrap for the shortstopping
job should be torrid, for Manager
Os Bluege says the place is wide
open.
