repatriates today said Russian
domination of Karafuto, Southern
Sakholin and the Kuriles-former

Sea of Okhotsk, rich in fish, into a
virtual Russian lake.
Russia occupied Karafuto and the
Kuriles at wars end 1t previously
held Northern Sakl1alin, the Karn-
chatka Peninsula and Siberia, the
other boundaries of the sea, in
which Japanese fishermen formerly
made some of their largest catches.

rafuto to ParamushiO, including all
of the Kuriles chain, said the re-
patriates, Masaharu Shiraiwa, for
mer Japanese policeman at Toyo-
hara, Karafuto, and former Corpl
Chokichi USagaml, who fought the
Russians at Paramushiro.
Both said the Russians mistreated
the populace for short period after
the surrender, then followed with a
tight. discipline under which treat
ment improved.

Nome Hearing Is Scheduled For 2pn August 9th.

SEATTLE, July 22,-Final pub lie hearings in the series of eight to obtain views of Alaskan resi- dents on river and harbor i'm provements, to be held at Anchor age August 8, and at Nome Aug us t9, were outlined today by Col. L. H. Hewitt, District Engineer, Seattle District U. s. Army Eng ineers.
 Converting at l:30 pm. Thurs day, August 8, the Anchorage hearing has been called by the Army Engineers as result of the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. This act calls for pre- liminary examinations of Anchor age Harbor and Cook Inlet with a view to providing harbor fa- cilities for Anchorage and to de- veloping hydro-electric power.
 The Nome hearing scheduled for 2 pm. August g, in the City Hall results from a resolution adopted Nov. 8, l945, by the House of Representatives Com mittee on Rivers and Harbors. This resolution directs Army En- gineerS to review earlier reports on Nome Harbor.
 From 1917 to June 30, l946, the Army Engineers have expended at Nome $273,OOO tor new con- struction and $774,OOO for main tenance including $6O,000 contrib uted by local interests. These expenditures for harbor improve ments have included jetties, re- vetment construction, channel i'm provement and a turning basin.
 At both hearings, Army Engin- eerS will accept oral testimony but for accuracy they request that important facts and arguments be submitted in writing at the sessions. Information obtained will be incorporated in reports to be forwarded to the Chief of Engineers, Washington, D. C., and to the Secretary of War for trans mission to Congress.
 Information sought from local interests at Anchorage and Nome includes type and amount of re- sources and business of the area tributary to the harbors; extent of past and present waterborne commerce; list of vessels now us- ings the harbor and with draft and tonnage of each; and ade- quacy of existing harbor facili- ties with possibility of expansion.
 Ut is also important" said Col. Hewitt, that witnesses offer tes- timony regarding benefits to be realized by the general public from proposed improvements and concerning the extent local inter ests would assist the federal gov ernment in financing any con- struction. At Anchorage. we al- so seek information on nature and adequacy of existing power fa- cilities and data on provision for expansion to meet future increase in power needs"
