WAR DEPT.
 10 IS5UE
 PER NJ ITS
Change Is An noun1ed-| d-|nspeetion Be
 Made Opening Date

SEATTLE, April 3(R-New War Department regulations governing issuance of permits for construction and maintenance Of salmon traps in Alaskan waters have been put into effect, It Col. R. F. Snetzer of the Seattle Army Engineers Dis trict reported today.
 Snetzer, Acting District Engineer said re-issuance of permits which expired last January 3l for more than 400 Alaskan fish traps had been delayed pending word on the new regulations. He said applica- tions for new permits now would be processed as rapidly as possible.
 5 Year Permits
 Most important of the changes, Snetzer said, is one providing that permits can be issued for not to exceed five years, instead of on an annual basis as heretofore. Sue cessive extensions of up to five years will be granted if circum- stances are unchanged.
 Other changes include elimina- tion of the provision calling for cancellation of the permit if work on the trap is not started within four months of permit date, and discarding of the 28-day waiting period between date of issuance of the fish and wildlife regulations and issuance of War Department permit.
 One Provision Retained
 The new regulations retained a provision that more than one per- init will be granted for structures at site. Issuance of War De- partment permit is not limited to areas declared open to fishing by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The permit by the War Department. however, merely expresses the as- sent of the Federal Government so far as concerns navigation rights, determination as to whether the site will be fished and by whom, is a function of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Inspection
 Fish traps must now be ready for inspection on the opening date of the fishing season unless other ar arrangements have been made before hand. A report still must be made of the placement of the trap, and failure to do so will be considered evidence that the trap was not placed and will make the permit subject to cancellation. Reports formerly required by November each year as to the type and kind of structure fished during the pre- ceding season need no longer be made, but prior approval must be obtained for changes in location, size and type of structure.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = John L. Lewis executed some fast footwork a few hours before he pulled his nation wide strike in sympathy with the Centralia, H., mine victims.
 Before risking the possible wrath of the U. S. Supreme Court, Lewis quietly sent a letter by messenger to Dr. R. R. Savers, Director of the Bureau of Mines, asking four point ed questions regarding the enforce ment of Federal mine inspection.
 It happens that Dr. Savers and John Lewis are bosom friends. That is one reason Lewis is so vigor- ously opposing James Boyd, Dean of the Colorado School of Mines, as Sayers successor And it looked as if Lewis had inside advance knowledge as to the exact four questions he should ask Dr. Say CTS.
 At any rate, 'Dr. Savers, who is retiring this week, answered Lewis questions immediately Most gov ernment bureaucrats take two or three days to answer letter and seind it up to their superiors for approval. But the Bureau of Mines Director sent Lewis a reply by special messenger within one hour without first showing it to his boss, Secretary of the Interior Krug.
 The letter to Lewis gave some devastating figures, but it did not tell all the story. It reported that though there were 3,345 mine in- spections by the Bureau of Mines in 1946, only two mines had com- piled with the recommendations to insure mine safety. It also re- ported that the average number of violations of the Federal Safety
