S0vIETS 10 EXPAND FISH

State Dept. Says Russia Plans Expansion in
 Pacific Fisheries

SEATTLE, Dec. 5.-In a dispatch from Washington, D. C., the Post Intelligencer said today the State Department advised Rep. Tollefson (R-Wash) today that Soviet Rus sia plans by 1850 to expand its Pacific Ocean fisheries two and a half times over prewar days.
 The information was given in re- ply to Tollefson's recent protest over the United States converting and modernizing 26 large Russian fishing vessels at a cost Of more than $21 100000 under lend-lease, the dispatch said They includ- ed floating canneries, whalers, re- frigerator craft and sealing vessels, his communication asserted.
 The planned expansion is part of a proposed five-year plan and the catch by 1850, with new fishing bases on the Kamchatka Peninsula, should form more than one-third of the Soviet Unions total catch, the State Department reply said. It was signed by Florence K. Kiriin, a special assistant to Secretary Of State Marshall.
 Plans in the Pacific include de velopment of new fishing areas, an improvement of the quality and an increase in the variety of fish cry products and the use of more modern and efficient equip ment both for fishing and for can- ming" Marshalls assistant said.
 AS to Tollefson's inquiry about the present operations of the re- fitted lend-lease fishing fleet, the letter said;,
 The Department has been en- deavoring to keep watch on de- velopments in the Soviet Union which might affect the fishing in dustry of this country However, no information on the present ac- tivities and location of the vessels in question has been received.
 Moreover, no information has been received which would indicate that the Soviet Union is operating in waters fished by the American Fishing industry"
 Tollefson's comment, the dis patch said, was
 '"The Pacific Ocean is one area in which our own fisheries are tre- mendously interested for their fu- ture development What will be the status of American fisheries in that area by 1850 if our govern ment has no concern in the mat ter in the meantime?
 T would like to see little com mon sense used for American fish cries protection"
