Ruling Of War, Navy

Declaring that "Alaskans are getting sick and tired of this colon ialism" Governor Ernest Gruening during his visit here over the Fourth holiday said he was making a vigorous protest to the War and Navy Departments against the rul- ing denying civilian employees hired after June 30, a twenty five percent differential unless hired in the Is states or District of Colum- bia.
 Tt is difficult to conceive of a more direct and fragrant discrimin- alton against Alaskans," the Gov ernor said. All Federal govern ment employees stationed in Alas ka receive a 25 per cent differential because of conspiciously high living costs in Alaska. The same policy should apply to Alaska workers"
 The War and Navy Departments ruled, effective the first of July, that only employees hired in the States were entitled to the differ ential

Predict Fish Shortage
 Next Year

CHICAGO-A severe shortage of fish next winter was predicted this week by the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice on the basis of current hold ings of frozen fish. which on June 1 totaled only 40 million pounds pr 25 per cent below average.
 Holdings of fish in freezers and cold storage houses normally reach the lowest level of the year May 1, and thereafter begin to build up sharply to a peak in the late fall. These fish serve as a reserve sup ply for the winter season, when fishing operations are restricted by bad weather, and many species of fish are unavailable.
 Holdings this year increased eight million pounds between May 1 and June 1. but the normal in crease during this period is about I3 million pounds. Last year about 70 million pounds were in storage on June 1, compared with the pres ent holdings of 40 million.
 Fish and Wildlife Service of ficials said that production general ly is running ahead of last years figures. but current market demand for fish is so heavy that little is left for freezing. With reserves of frozen fish low and only small percentage of the pack of canned fish available for civilians this year an acute shortage of fish next win ter is expected.
 Preliminary figures released by ahe Service indicated that on June 1, holdings of salt water fish total ed 39.4 million pounds, fresh water fish approximately 2 million pounds and shell fish 45 million pounds. Whiting. maekeral, cod and had dock. whicu ordinarily comprise a large Der centage of the salt water fish n storage all showed sharp declines compared with last year. Holdings of fresh water fish were only aD.u. d sixth as large as last year; ane.l fish holdings, on the other ..anG, aaowed little change.
