COUNCIL HEADED
FOR SHOWDOWN
All Soviet Troops Believed
Not Yet Out OF

NEW. YORK, May 19-(P-The
United Nations Security Council
Sunday appeared to be headed
toward a new showdown on Iran as
the Iranian government indicated
it still was unable to say definite
ly that all Soviet troops had left
Azerbaijan province.
There was a possibility that the
situation might change before the
council meets Tuesday or Wednes-
day, but hopes for a conclusive re-
port from Iran faded after receipt
of Saturday nights message from
Iranian Premier Ahmed Qavam.
Qavam informed Secretary-Gen-
eral Trygve Lie that he would re-
port on the status of Soviet troop
withdrawals as soon as he was I'm
a position to do So" This was
interpreted as meaning that the
commission he sent to Azerbaijan
haG not yet been able to make a
definite report and probably would
not be able to before Monday. the
deadline set by the council for a
new .Iranian statement on the sit
uation.
Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala
was expected to arrive from Wash
ington Sunday, however, to stand
by for any later information from
T'ehran which he might transmit to
tn council at the last minute.

MORE ABOUT
SHRIMPING
FROM PAGE ONE

mons. Jr., Red Porter, Emory
Hewlett and myself.
Operating his fathers CONNER
cial fishln. boat, Bubber, as Ed,
Jr. is known. nosed out from the
Wrightsville inland waterway EFT
Wrightsville inland waterway
bridge at 4 am. and soon after
was ready to begin operations.
The shrimp ne: used is about 80
Or 50 feet long ana at each end
has doors heavy boards rough
iy four or five feet square, which
are weighted and keep the net
spread and near the bottom.
When being towed at two or three
miles-per-hou1. the net presents an
opening about two feet in height
along its entire width.
Aftel about 10 minutes of of fair
ly uneventtul progress, the boat
was turned and here came the first
evidence of the knoW-hoW mention
ed earlier.
The waterway is only 80 feet wide
and with a 39-foot net some distance
behind the boat il takes skill. Red
mace 1t look easy with the coopera-
ton of Bubber at the helm. Pulling
on the rope attached to one of the
gates. he "sieere6" the net around
IN a big arc. Any miscalculation at
this poin' would have turned the net
over, Understanding a lot of untang-
ling.
Alter about 10 more minutes, the
net was hauled but the catch was
disappointing. Only about two
pounds Of shrimp, a few squid and
Z number OF crabs and small fish
were III the net. All these have to
be separated by hand, sorted and
in case of fish too small, dumped
overheard quickly SO they can live
and get bigger.
North of the bridge, our luck
was better, with maybe two pounds
of squid. and the catch of the day,
a six and one-half pound sheep
head.
Returning to the bridge about
7:30 am we found a line of eager
fishermen narrassing "Bill' Tilley
in his market for bait. Our catch
was SOLD almost before we could
get it weighted.
Rubber decided, with the indy
ing optimism. of every true fisher
men. maybe if we tried again we
might dc a little better, so out we
went.
During the usually uneventful
lows, which averaged about 20 min
utes eac.., 1 got to talking to Red
who is q veteran of the Army's
Air-Sea Rescue branch.
Red wants to fish for himself
but so far hasn't been able to ar
range a CT loan with which to buy
a government surplus boat.
II had ? chance at a good boat
which l could have gotten pretty
cheap and with equipment would
have had an outfit for So, 500 or 81
600 worth $4,000. but I never could
get the loan Strengthened out" he
explained.
After working the waterway up
and down from the bridge with
out much luck, we decided to call
it a day about II o'clock and came
on IN with the catch, this time most
ly squid.
Total for the day was a gross of
around $40 for the boat. Dishear-
tening, well maybe, but when l
left. Red ard Rubber were in a
heated discussion of the best size
catch fc1 a single haul. Rubber
was all TO- a 50-bushel haul while
Red was holding forth on the saw
ing of time if the shrimp were
caught in Il or 20 bushel lots.
There goes that fisherman's optim-
ism again.

FARM POWER CONSUMPTION
RISING IN DELAW ARE

Larger supplies of electrical
energy are needed to meet rising
consumption on the electrified
farms of Delaware according to the
manager of the States REA financ-
ed rural electric system.
Reports to the Rural Electrifica-
ton Administration indicate that
the financed system in the
state distributed more kilowatt
hours of power during the 1916 fis-
Cal year (ended June 30) than in
any previous 12-month period.
More than 4,535,000 kilowatt hours
was distributed to consumers on
REA- financed lines during the 1916
fiscal year as compared with only
1,459,000 kilOwatt hours in fiscal
1941. The increases in consumers
served by the system from 2,400 in
1941 to 3,400 in 1916 accounts for
rart of the rise but an even greater
factor is the tremendously increaS-
ed use of electrical farm production
equipment by farmers of Delaware.
AS more equipment becomes
available and new farm production
devices are perfected, an even
sleeper rise in consumption of
electricity per rural consumer is
expected.
Many rural families living on the
estimated $500 unelectrified farms
i'll Delaware have been waiting for
service since the early days of the
war.
The REA-financed systems in the
state are rushing work on their dis
| tribution lines in an effort to serve
thsee consumers as rapidly as pos
sible. Even though their building
program was handicapped by an
acute shortage of line construction
matreial, the REA A-financed systems
! in Delaware connected more than
295 new consumers during the 1916
fiscal year. The system has plans
completed for the construction oi
new lines to serve approximately
$500 new consumers.
