Sablefish Hauled
In By Washtubful

MONTEREY, Calif.-(AP).-The
first run of sablefish that ever
happened here, has been going on
since July IL.
Men, women and children
stand shoulder to shoulder on
Fisherman's Wharf, hauling in
sablefish as fast as they can
handle their lines.
Boxes, sacks, 5-gallon cans
and Washtubs fill up with fish IL
to 20 inches long.
More than 100 tons have been
taken, estimates the state patrol.
Although slack periods occur,
the fish come back, seemingly in
greater numbers than before.

A fish chowder is always well
come. 1t can be made from sea
bass, whitefish, cod or haddock.
1t may be New England style
chowder with onions, potatoes
and milk in it, or one using to-
matoeS and wide assortment of
vegetables. With the addition of
a salad and hearty dessert, one
could not ask for more whole

the lSlund some 44U YedrS dgt
Puerto Ricons ore given thi
territorial government-under I
mon. Aug. S.
The island came under the
American flag in 1893 after four
centuries of Spanish rule as a
result of the Spanish-American
War.
The Treaty of Paris authorized
Congress to organize a civil gov
eminent for Puerto Rico. Two
years after the island was occu-
pied Congress passed the first or
ganic act, which takes the place
of state constitution.
President Retained Power
Under this act Puerto Ricans
could elect House of Dele
gates. The Executive Council
equivalent to the Senate-was
appointed by the island govern
or, designated by the President
OF the UnlteQ OtateS.
This syetem lasted until 1917,
when Congress passed a new or
ganic act. The new law granted
Puerto Ricans self-government
in their legislative branch-both
their senate and house. They
also were granted U. S. citizen
ship collectively.
But the President continued to
appoint the governor, the attor-
ney general, the commissioner of
education, the auditor and the
justices of thes upreme court.
Under the new law the Presi-
dent will continue to appoint the
auditor and the justices of the
supreme court.
The governor, elected by the
people, will appoint the attorney
general and the commissioners of
education with the advice and
consent of the executive coun-
: ell.
The first governor will be cleo
ted in November, 1948, and will
take his oath of office early in
1949.
After signing the elective gov
ernor bill, President Truman said
that this legislation "is a great
step toward complete self-gov-
erpment."
First Native Governor
President Truman signed the
elective governor bill year and
10 days after he gave Puerto Ri
CO it's first native GOVERNOR.
2. Pinero, who succeeded Rex
ford G. Tugwell.
Pinero, who had been the
: islands resident commissioner in
Washington, pledged himself in
his inaugural speech to be the
last governor appointed by the
President. To tn Is end he has
q devoted much of his efforts in
the short time he has been gov
ernor.
Puerto Rico's political leader
ship is agreed that the new re-
form will not solve the islands
social and economic problems.
Some leaders have been opposed
to the measure on the ground
that ''it is only slice of bread
when Puerto Rico has been ask
ing for a loaf"
independence or Statehood
This is because the island has
requested the President and Con-
gress to authorize a plebiscite
through which Puerto Ricans can
chose by themselves whether
they are going to become a state
of the union or an independent
republic. @a
The present resident commits
sioner,i III Washington, DR.. A. Fer
nos-Isern, who steered the cleo
tive governor bill through Con-
gress, believes that under the
new act Puerto Rico will have an
opportunity to further prove its
ability for elf-government."

NEBRASKA RECORD
FARM INCOME SEEN

LINCOLN, Neb. W.H - Ne
braska's 1947 farm income prob
ably will reach $3.50, 900, 900,
according to State Agriculture
Director Rufus M. Howard.
The. previous high mark was
last year $849, 900, GOO, exclusive
of $24, 1000 in government
payments.
Howard considers his estimate
conservative. The billion-dollar
income does not necessarily indi-
cate record-breaking profits for
the farmer. he said, since pro-
duction costs and the price of
goods also are increasing.
Farm commodities buy less
than they did a year ago. Howard
said. The ratio of prices re-

WHITEWASHING GAG
STILL GOES OVER

.PEWkUKEE, Wis. U.p) - The
Tom Sawyer whitewashing trick
still works.
Ivan Oliphant had a garage he
wanted painted, and he didn't
feel like doing the job himself.
He rigged up a power-driven egg
beater and began mixing paint.
His teen-age daughter, Phyl-
lis, watched the mixing. She
wanted to try her hand at paint
ing. His other daughter, Yvon-
ne, watched as long as she could,
then took up a brush, too.
Oliphant had a fine time-Just
sitting and watching.
