NEW REGULATIONS,
 PERMITS FOR FISH TRAPS, ANNOUNCED

SEA TILE, March 26.-New War Department regulations covering permits for construction and main- tenance of fish traps in coastal and navigable waters of Alaska are now in effect, it is announced by Col Conrad P. Hardy, District Engineer, Seattle District U s. Army Engineers.
 Trap owners of more than 400 floating and pile-driven traps in Alaska are being notified of changes in regulations. The major change, said Col. Hardy, is that the Seattle Engineer District hence- forth win grant for any one site any number of permits to con- struct traps that do not interfere with navigation or with other Fed eral and Territorial laws and re- gulations.
 The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser vice, Juneau, Alaska, will render decisions in case of conflicting ap- plications for the same site.
 Another important change is that permits will be granted only for period of one year, to be good an- nually until January 31 of the en- suing year Previous construction permits were good for five years and could be extended for additional five-year periods.
 Based entirely on their effect on navigation, War Department per- mits cover construction and main- tenance only, with the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service of the De- partment of the Interior continuing to administer commercial fishing regulations in Alaska.
 No Revocalions
 Because preparations for the i946 fishing season are so well advanc- ed, outstanding fish trap permits will not be revoked, the Army En- gineers announced. Expiration date of all permits now in effect will be January 31, l947, regardless of date now provided in respective permits. Present and future permits are governed entirely by the new re- gulations.
 Seven Regulations
 The seven regulations now effec- tive are:
 L No fish trap will be erected until War Department permit for it's construction has been granted by the Seattle District Engineer.
 9 Applications will detail each fish trap sought on forms obtain able from the District Engineer, 400 Textile Tower, Seattle.
 g. Permits will be granted for a period not to exceed one year and expire Jan 31 of the following year
 4. Applications will be acted on 28 calendar days after publication of Fish and Wildlife regulations for the current year, In case of more than one application for the same site, permits will be issued for all applications.
 5. Each applicant must submit proof to the District Engineer that a license has been granted by the Territorial Treasurer of Alaska
 6. No permits will be granted for sites within 1,500 feet of any navi- gation aid except upon approval of the U s. Coast Guard
 2. No permit will be issued until old piles or Instructions to navi- gation from previous traps con- structed by the applicant have been removed Old piles may be reused, however, if permission is obtained from the District Engineer.

and non-residents at the bottom, Newell said.
 @ Alaskan veterans want to keep pace and increase their earn ing capacity in these highly com petitive times. To amplify this statement, Newell said surveys among Ketchikan veterans tof whom there now are approximately 20c with 300 more anticipated in the next six months) revealed majority want more education. Newell also questioned high school students and Coast Guardsmen to be stationed at the permanent Ketchikan base and found major ity in both groups wanted higher learning.
 Specialized Training
 t3) Southeast Alaska veterans need specialized training in Fish cry, Forestry, Marine Transporta- ton and Engineering and similar subjects. not taught at the Univer- sity of Alaska at College.
 t4) Southeast Alaska is ideal for supplementary. field work in these specialized subjects Newell said several Ketehikan men have offer cd facilities for field work and vol unteered to conduct or assist with classes.
 t5) Tine proposed extension would not detract from the Uni versity of Alaska's prestige because the curricula would attract students who would not have applied to the College branch in any case. Newell pointed out that for every UA stu dent from Juneau there are six from northern Alaska and said the ratio is even greater in Ketchikan. Rep. Warren A. Taylor strengthen ed Newell's case by saying the Col lege institution already has more that 500 applications for the fall semester and is facing a possible housing shortage.
 Tar Issues Dodged Newell skilfully avoided commit ting himself on the sales, income or fish tax issues, although asked directly by Rep. Stanley McCutch- con which method of fund-raising he favored. In reply Newell said fund-raising methods should be de- cided by the voters through their representatives, thereby hurling the buck right back at McCutcheon. i As Newell left the House and the applause died away Rep. M J Walsh repeated his previously stated views that as a member of the University Board of Regents he considered introduction of the bill premature.
 The effect of Walsh's remarks or top of Newell's dignified but ex- tremely earnest plea was to fomenl a stream of pro-southern brancf oratory.
 ! Itcp- Alilici J. TclticOil hiChSe off with hearty concurrence 1T Newells statement that education meant more to the veterans ever than loans and bonuses. Monel goes, but education remains, h' said, adding that when down ant out of sight his diploma gave hin strength to accomplish a financia recovery and concluded with al enthusiastic that's why I'm her today"
 Grabbing the oratorical ball Rep. Chris Jennings urged: Let get started, and don't cut the ap prcpyiations. We can't spend to' much money on education.!"
 Bill Is Pdssed
 Taylor said that after writing U various west coast universities a to the possibility of his sons en trance CTaylor's son is in tn nayy) the need for a southeas 7 branch became apparent to him. HI ------- ---------

NAM's OPA Fight T Takes New Slant

NEW YORK-(FP )-Indications that the National Association of Manufacturers may change strategy in its battle against price control from pressure for outright abOli- ton of OPA to amendments that will remove its teeth are given in the current NAM News.
 While the NAM's $90O,OO0 ads and public statements have called for an immediate end to all price controls, the NAM News tips off NAM mem bers that "most Congressmen seemed to feel that ceilings will be continued in some form. Many members are searching for a formula which will continue controls and yet will remove restrictions from production Priv ately, some administration supporters and former enthusiastic price control proponents admit uneaSinesS.
 Lots of Talk
 Before OPA is continued there are many more questions to be asked, many speeches to be made and many votes on proposed amendments to be taken in House and Senate.
 The NAM tipsheet also reveals that President Edward O'Neil of the American Farm Bureau Federation, the big business-farm bloc outfit, "hatly rejected a plea by Stabiliza- ton Director Chester A. BowleS to go along with the OPA proposal to con- tinue food subsidies amounting to $1,7OO,OOO,OOO. The NAM admits that Subsidies hold down food costs to consumers" but says the farmers" (meaning the farm bloc) oppose them on grounds that "the country as a whole is better able than ever before to pay for its grocery bill"
 The NAM sheet reported as con- cerns the Case anti-strike bill that ''the outlook for labor legislation was not too promising and ranted at the administration housing pro- gram, especially price ceilings and subsidy provisions. Declaring that the initiative of businessmen will be stif1ed' it complained that the ''needs of veterans are winning SUD- port for the housing cOntrols'' and hinted that veterans were being used as ''bait to get votes for a new in government con- trol.''
 In a more joyful key, the NAM organ crows Full Employment Dead, Long Live, etc." explaining that the full employment act of 1946 which was signed by Pres. Truman was mot the full employment bill" Boasts the NAM, which lobbied hard to ac- complish this: Nowhere in the act are the words full employmnet.' There IS no guarantee of jobs for everyone"

School Lunches Delayed While Congress Argues
Senate And House At Odds Over Differences On
 Appropriation

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Sett1e- ment of important differences over the amount to be appropriated for the school lunch program is the only is- sue holding up final enactment of the measure by the Senate and House.
 Conference committees have been set up to reach a compromise between the $1OO,OOO,OOO pro- posed by the Senate and the $5O,- 900 900 authorized by the House.
 Both measures set up a permanent program of federal aid to local and State school lunch programs, intend ed to insure nourishing lunches for school children between the ages of 5 and IT, Under both bills, funds are apportioned to the states on the basis of the number of children and on the need for assistance as indicated by the relation of the average income in the state to the average income in the whole United States. Federal funds are matched in the beginning by state and local funds on a dollar for-dollar basis, with state contribu- tions rising to two-to-one in 1948 and four-to-one in 1851 and after.
 Another conflict between the House and Senate versions is a SIS, ,OOO,OOO appropriation to be used by the states to employ and train school lunch administrators to equip school lunchrooms, and to develop programs of nutrition edu- cation. The U. s. Office of Educa- ton would handle the funds. The House turned this provision down. The Senate kept it in the bill after a 50 to 2l vote.
 While federally-aided school lunch programs have been in operation for ten years, they have been run on {; year-to-ycar basis This is the first time that the program has been given a permanent status.

Thorpe Wonders If State Laws
 Will Be Enforced
What About 48-Hour Law For Employees In State
 Institutions?

1t is an interesting comparison for union men to watch, whether a union with nO-strike pledge can get results comparable with those where the right to strike is cOnsid- cred as an malienable and inherent American right, stated George Thorpe today while discussing the matter of state employees in insti- tutions being required to work 54 hour week. Thorpe is president of Conn. Council 16, American Fed eratiOn of State, County and Muni- cipal Employees.
 While the 1945 Legislature passed bill limiting the hours of service in state institutions to AS, this act is not enforced nor even put into effect, :" Thorpe said. No amount of propa- ganda can offset the fact that the State of Connecticut is not alert in correcting conditions existing in its own employment practices which would cause immediate prosecution by the State If practiced elsewhere. Labor laws for women would prohibit the practice at once, but are not enforced in state institutions where women are employed as attendants.
 ''Connecticut is a hard-hearted boss when employees long in the service have to put up with such conditions in order to get their pen sion for which they have worked so long and made so many payments. While Connecticut remains aIOOf to present cost of living economics, there is no relief in sight for these old faithful employees. No one wants to take jobs at the salaries and hours the state offers and there is resulting shortage of help in institutions.
 Glow long would other labor un- ions cOndOne such unfair tactics without striking?"

A REAL OVATION

The banquet, arranged by com mittee headed by John J. Miller business agent of No. "A, of New Haven, was one of the most success full in the history of the labor movement of this part of the cOun try. The climax came when Will liam Barry of New Haven, presi dent of No. "A, presented Shea with a magnificent diamond ring bear ing the emblem of the Alliance, and a beautiful desk lamp.
 The celebration, attended by friends in labor and in management, was 1T the nature of an ovation to one o1 Connecticuts leading labor men Tommy Shea. Harry F. Shaw was toastmaster, and the speakers were headed by such men as Mayor Will liam Celentano of New Haven, and the Rev. Fr. Francis A. Grouney of Buffalo, whom many considered to be one of the best speakers ever heard in Connecticut.
 To Connecticut to honor Shea came the international officers of the Alliance: President Richard F. Walsh, General Secretary-Treasurer William P. Raoul, Vice-President James J. Brennan, and Trustee William C. Scanlan.
 CELEBRITIES
 There were host of other celeb, rites, almost too numerous to men. ton. They included Joseph M. Tone, one of the best known men in Connecticut; lily Fine of Para. mount Theatres, and John Mur. phy of LOews' Theatres; and others, representing management; Pres. Timothy M. Collins and Sec.-Treas. Joseph M. Rourke, of. the State Federation of Labor; Herman Levy and Julius Maretz, noted barristers who should be holding cards in Actors Equity; Rev. Edward J. Shea; John s. O'Connen of New Haven, the dean of the Alliance in this part of the country; Judge Matthew Levy of New York; Harold Lane of Wilkes-Barre, Penn. Harry Needles of Warner Bros, theatres; and Richard Buckley representing the New Haven Cen. tral Labor Council. A host of tele. grams. nationwide in scope, was read.
 Shea's address was typical of the man. In a few warm and sincere words, he thanked President Walst for appointing him Assistant Presi- dent; thanked his friends for their presence; and gave the keynote of the evening by pointing out that the true American way to solve disputes is across the conference table, with bott sides sincere in their desire to work together in friendship and peace.
 In honoring Tommy Shea the representatives of labor and man agement honored themselves.

PoIItaxers Win Limitations On Housing Measure
Cut Wyatt's Powers From Needed Two Years
 To One

WASHINGTON - (FP) - Con. fusion has been added to the ma. tiOn's critical housing picture be. cause a combined vote of Repub. licans and polltax Democrats added crippling amendment to the Pat. man housing bill. The amendment passed by vote of l45 to 88, limited the power of Housing Ad. ministrator Wilson Wyatt to one year ending June 30, l947. Wyatt's program as originally drafted, call. ing for 2,7OO,OOO homes for vet erans, would require two years for completion.
 The debate featured attacks from both sides of the floor on OPA, price control of building materials, the per sonal character of Wilson Wyatt, anc so-called "Gestapo" of government agents checking price control viola tions-in seeming disregard of the need of veterans and other citizens for houses to meet the current short age.
 Price Relief Sought
 In reply to questions from propo- nents of the Patman bill as to con structive suggestions for housing ac- tion, price relief on materials was the cnly counter-proposal. Rep. Fred L Crawford (R, Mich.), quoted testi- mony given earlier in the day before the banking committee by Ralpf Flanders, Vermont manufacturer claiming T do not think that business can live with price control in its pres ent form for another year"
 The most open attack on the Wyatt program met defeat when a motior by Rep. John E. Rankin CD, Miss. to recommit the Patman measure t the banking committee was voted dowr 143 to 49. Success of the motioI would have put off consideration ot the bill for the rest of the session but this was even too much for hal the Republicans and most of the poll taxers to stomach.

 A FINE shellacking was given the American people in the House of Representatives Monday, when the heart of the Wyatt housing pro- gram for vets was removed from the bill. The provision would have provided subsidies to building ma- terials manufacturers as a means of speeding materials to the mar ket.
 The provision was defeated 161 to 92, with Democrats, all southern CTS, voting with the Republicans. About 100 Democratic Congress- men failed to show up for the vote. Wonder why?

Business Strikes
 Scored By Knight

Chicago Strikes by employers against the government and consum- CTS have been far more serious than any stoppages by labor, but they have been largely ignored by the press.
 That significant point was made by President Felix H. Knight of the Car men as guest speaker at a big rally here marking the joint installation of officers of locals affiliated with the Garments Association of Chicago.
