Elaboration Co. Engaged In Fishing Not Research

(iPl Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-Rep. Tol- lefSon R.-WashD, said today he had asked the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation to explain the terms of its agreement with the Pa cific Exploration Co.,, Seattle, Wash, after complaints the com pany was engaged in commercial fishing instead of research.
 TollefSon, chairman of a House merchant marine subcommittee, said southern California fishermen had complained that the Pacific Explorer" a floating cannery, in stead of doing research in the southern Pacific was engaged in commercial tuna fishing off Costa Rica, and was offering S20 more a ton for tuna than the prevailing price.
 The REC, Tollefson told a re- porter, advanced the company company S3,750,000 to outfit the ship, and the agreement provided that Mic Bez Seattle, chief of the project, would receive $25,000 a year; the operating manager S20,- 900 yearly, and the sales manager, $15,000 yearly.
 The California Fish Gamers as- SociatiOn of Terminal Island, Cal, cOntended that when the ship Wa5 financed by the REC it was under stood it would work in the North Pacific and Boring Sea from May to October each year and spend the winters in research work and seeking new fishing grounds in the Southern Pacific for the bene- fit of the entire fishing industry.
 ''It now develops that the Pa cific Explorer is off the coast of Costa Rica, engaged in extensive fishing operations for various spe- cies of tuna," the Californians said, "the vessel has entered the most desirable waters, and moreover the Pacific Exploration company has increased the price to the fisher men above the present price paid by canners by S20 a ton and has created serious competitive prob lem to the private commercial in dustry off the Pacific coast"

Hawaiians Testify For Statehood

WASHINGTON, (P-Gov. In- gram M. Stainback of Hawaii and two Territorial Senators were called before the House public lands committee today to present Hawaii's case for statehood.
 Several committee members all ready had indicated they take com mittee approval of statehood legis- lation for granted.
 After the first two days of the committee hearing, Rep. Murdock O.-Ariz.), said he was particular Iy pleased" at the bipartisan sup port for making Hawaii the 49th state.
 Noting that both Democratic and Republican House members had Introduced identical HaWa n statehood bills and appeared to urge their enactment, MurdOck commented that was not always the case in admitting new states.
 Before the Civil War;" he said, "new states were admitted to the Union to preserve the political bal ance on 8 s\strictly partisan basis. After the Civil War, political con- alterations still were paramount in the admission of new states. This time there appears a united effort for the common good"

In five houses we entered

one baby lay unburied where they
died. Another compound contained
man moaning from the pain OF
dysentery.
Trees and telephone lines are
festooned with homemade grenades
attached to trip wires. The roads
are lined with bombs and five-inch
shells taken from the Netherlands
naval arsenal nearby. The arsenal
was partly destroyed during the

stripped completely by the In

dollar countries.
Mr.. Attlee continued that he was
about to propose cuts in British i'm
ports and subsequently, "the ques-
ton of discriminating purchases
becomes one of much more impor-
tance."
Stanley Opens Debate.
Oliver Stanley, Conservative
opened the debate, accusing the
government of encouraging infia-
ton" and "distorting our economy. >
Mr.. Stanley said the labor admin
istration could have prevented the
swift exhaGsting of the American
loan, originally expected to last un-
til 1850.
II would agree that it might have
been better If we had had a greater
concentration of effort Mr.. Attlee
said. Maybe we have tried to dc
too much in short time."'
The opposition cheered.
TT may we'll be that we have re-
laxed controls too soon," the Prime
Minister continued. There has
been a failure on the part of some
workers to realize that shorter hours
and higher wages must be matched
by greater effort.

immense amount of reconstruction
has been accomplished"
Mr.. Attlee stressed what he called
great increase" in production and
exports. He commented that, by the
end of last year, British sales over
seas were II per cent greater than
in 1888.
Mr.. Attlee said the war left Brit
ain >in "a most vulnerable posi-
ton" and that the American loan
had been granted to enable us
to stand on our own feet
But it would be wrong for Britain
to become dependent permanently
on another country, however friend
ly," he said.
Tracing the causes of the crisis,
Mr.. Attlee observed that Britain
went through a bad winter which
damaged both agriculture and in
dustry. He added:
"Our people were very tired by the
end of the war"
Severe adverse factors developed
outside our control" the prime min
lister said. THE recovery OF Europe
has been much slower than antici-
pated."
He declared that the prices of
British imports had risen more
than 40 per cent since the American
loan was negotiated and by more
than 20 per cent since Britain be-
gan drawing on the $3,750, 600, 900.
