 Preliminary tests have already been made. Staff Sergeant sam Pickering said. and results are satisfactory. All the final serv- ice is awaiting is for line to be strung about two miles from the cable landing on Mitkoff Island to Petersburg proper
 The phone booth is strictly copesthetic' Gas Don House would describe i) with latest metropol- itan-style sliding doors which au- tomatieally turns on a light in the booth. For the present, the Signal Corps is using one of the Army field phones until other equipment can be installed.

 A search is heinz made for other Marines, believed to be still missing.

INTERIOR DEPT. SEEKS
 CONTROL OF FISH TRAPS

WASHINGTON Delegate B. T..
 Bartlett of Alaska said this weak d tentative agreement to govern allocation of fish traps in Alaska has been reached between the In terior Department and salmon fish ing industry.
 Bartlett for Alaska in state ment said that Assistant Secretary Gardner of the Department des- cribed the tentative agreement at a closed session of the House Com- mittee which will hold hearings in Juneau next week.
 He quoted Gardner as saying the agreement provided for the aGop- tion of a licensing system whereby traps to be operated would be def ipitaly allocated by February 1 of each year; that a "grandfather's clause" would be adopted with re- speet to operators of ten or more trapsites. with the larger operators surrendehing some Of the sites they HOW hold.
 Surrender Some Sites
 Under the latter proposal the operators of II to 19 traps would retain 90 per cent of them; oper-I ators of 20 to 29 traps would re- tain 85 Der cent; operators of 3GI to 39 traps retain 80 per cent anal operators of 40 or more traps re tain 75 per cent.
 Of 496 traps now operated in Al aska eight of the largest packers control 246.
 The traps to be surrendered al bout 5O-would be allocated to Al askan communities and coopcra- tives; small operators and Alaskan resident. Under certain circum- stances the industry agreed to sell canneries when trapsites are closed. l
 Under the agreement, a continu- ing system for licensing trap sites would be set up and Gardner pro posed that in event of sale of trap sites, half of the purchase price would go to the government.
 Federal Trap Tax
 Bartlett said that the proposal provided that if the licensing sys- tenn is enacted by Congress the packers must pay 2R per cent tax for the first 50O,0OO fish caught by each operator and four per cent for all fish over 5O0,OGO. The val ue of the fish would be determined by preseason bargaining between the unions of workers and the op- orators
 Half of the taxes collected by the government would be returned to the Territory, Gardner said.
 Bartlett said that the Committee would go into all phases of the tentative agreement and the en- tire trapsite situation at the hear ings next month.
 50 far as I am concerned per sonally l do not believe 1 can ever be convinced that further Federal control of Alaska fisheries is nee essary or desirab1e," Bartlett said. "If Congress enacts law based upon these proposals it simply means that instead of giving Alaska more power of self government, We shall have lost all power.
 Federal legislation on this sub ject is, indeed, desirable but in my judgment, should be confined to turning over administration Of the fisheries to Alaskans as all Alaskans desire and as the 1egisla- ture has time and time suggested"
