Energy Meter Tells
Physical Fitness 10
New Gadget Has Been Developed
BY Medical Physicist.

SAN FRANCISCO.-A new instru-
ment for measuring physical fit
ness, one which probably also will
be of help in studying circulatory
diseases, was announced by DR..
William E. Berg, University of Cali
fornia medical physicist.
The instrument is an adaptation
of the thermal conductivity ana
lyzer, which is used widely in indus
try to determine the makeup Of
gases. 1t can identify gases by indi-
eating the amount of heat they are
able to conduct under given con-
ditions.
AS developed by DR.. Berg, the
instrument measures the amount Of
carbon dioxide produced and the
amount of oxygen consumed by the
body, first during rest and then dur
ing lively exercise.
The difference in the amount Of
carbon dioxide produced is an indi-
Gator of energy used, which in turn
is a measure of physical vigor.
By confining the test to certain
types of exercise the instrument
may help doctors locate areas Of re-
stricted circulation, DR.. Berg said.
For example, when only step-up ex-
ercises are used, involving mainly
the legs, a subnormal increase in
carbon dioxide output may indicate
poor blood circulation in the legs.
Instruments for determining the
metabolic rate have been in medi-
cal use for many years. They utilize
combinations of chemical and phys
ical processes for measuring diox-
ide production.

Anniversary Of Flag

July 4th will be the one hundred
and twenty-eighth anniversary of the
American flag in its present form.
When the flag was adopted, June
IA, 1777, it had 13 stars and 13 stripes.
Thereafter, a star and stripe were
added for each additional state. BY
April, 1919, the stripes totaled 20,
and congress ruled that the flag
should have 13 stripes, one for each
of the original states, but that there
should be as many stars as states.
This act of congress became ef-
fective July 4, 1919, hence that day
is the birthday of the present flag.
With possibilities of the admission of
additional states, it is possible that
the present arrangement of the stars
may have to be changed.

Fireworks Accidents
A Serious Problem

Six persons were killed and 9O3
were injured by fireworks accidents
last Fourth of July. The number OF
persons injured in 1946 shows a de-
cided drop in comparison with pre-
war years. Total injured in 1941
was 2,O39. But 6 deaths and 9O3
injuries represent far too great and
unnecessary toll for this phase OF
the holiday celebration.
Last year A persons suffered in
juries to their eyes, many resulting
in total blindness. The reduction of
unnecessary injuries from fireworks
depends both on adequate state
legislation and on satisfactory en-
forcement.

Court Order Bars Fisheries Regula- tiOns Enforcement

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - An Alaska federal court order bar ring enforcement of certain pro- visions of the 1946 Alaska fisheries general regulations by the interior department was affirmed Friday by the U. s. circuit court of ap- pealS.
 The decision was on an appeal by Frank Hynes, regional director of the fish and wildlife serviec of the department of the interior.
 The district court granted seven large packing companies an in junction preventing Hynes from enforcing certain restrictive prov:- sions of the general regulations, and also from seining boats and fishing equipment in waters adja- cent to the Karluk Indian reserva- ton on Kodiak Island.
 The companies, representing a $7O,OOO,OOO annual fishing b,lsi- ness in the Alaskan area, would have been prevented from fishing around Karluk reservation under the challenged provisions.
 They argued that the secretary of the interior did not have the right to create a monopoly for In- dian fishing more than 5000 feet off the main shore line.
 This view was upheld by the lower court and affirmed by the court of appeals.
 Under the decision, the compan- ies may fish up to within 5000 feet of the main shore line. Fer sons familiar with the suit said the decision was expected to lead

Man DrOWns Cinema River

FAIRBANKS, (P)-A man who plunged through the thin ice of the partially frozen Cinema river Saturday night and disappeared while spectators on shore watched helplessly has not been identified, federal and army authorities said yesterday.
 A search for the body has been unsuccessful and it may not be re- covered until spring when the river thaWs.
 The mans cries were first heard by truck driver, who turned his lights on the struggling victim. He sank from sight as onlookers gath cred. Thinness of the ice prevent ed rescuers from leaving shore.
 Marshal's deputies said the man apparently was unaware that freakish November weather had left open water in many places and weakened the usually solid sheet of ice covering the Cinema at this time of the year.

Conference Opens With Strife For
 Background

LONDON, (P) The foreign ministers of the United States, Russia, Great Britain and France started yesterday their second at tempt to frame a peace for Ger many despite the wide open con- flict between Russia and the west ern powers over the economic and political future of Europe.
 Secretary of State Marshall met with V. M. Molotov of Russia, Err nest Bevin of Britain and Georges Bidault of France in the blue and gold council room of Lancaster House, at 3:30 pm.
 It was the first session of the council of foreign ministers since the four adjourned their unsuc- cessful efforts at Moscow last April to write a peace treaty for Austria and unify Germany.
 The conference opened against a background of spreading strikes and unrest in France and upris- ings in Italy which American dip tomato characterized as Russian backed campaign to embarrass Bi- dault and discourage western Flu ropean cooperation with the Mar shall recovery plan.

Dave Beck To
 Stay In Seattle

SEATTLE, (4) - Dave Beck, new executive vice president of the FL-international teamsters union and frequently mentioned as heir-apparent to the general presidency now held by 72-year- old Daniel J. Tobin, said yesterday he was mot interested" in the higher office.
 "I wouldn't leave Seattle and go back east for all the money in the world" he declared. "I wouldn't even take William Greens job as president of the AFL if it was of fered to me tomorrow. My family, home and friends all are in Seattle and I'd rather live right here un- til the end of my life
 If convinced, however, that the union really needed him in the presidency, and drafted him, Beck said he might accept for limited term.

Indians Want Pay For Annette Island Airbase
tBy Vern Haugland)

l(A') Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The Met lakatla Indians of southeastern Alaska are dickering with Uncle Sam this week over rental of one of the most valuable airbaseS in the Territory, the former army field at Annette Island.
 The army paid them S3,6OO q year rent for five years for l2,O00 acres, thy said, and they want the Civil Aeronautics Administration, which has taken over the field, similarly to make settlement.
 Furthermore, they asserted at negotiations under way at the in terior department, the Standard Oil company is making a profit from a public investment through sale of oil and gasoline to air planes using the field. They want a commission on those sales.
 Representing the 700 Metlakat- lans, to whom President Grover Cleveland assigned Annette Island as a reservation in 1891, are John w. Smith, acting mayor of Metla- katla Village, Ira Booth, Ted E. Benson and Ray Haldane.
 Darcy McNickle, an attorney of the office of Indian affairs which is cooperating in the nego- tiations, said he looks for an agreement or a complete impasse some time this week.
 McNickle said the army, which had been opposed to paying a rem tai fee, took the position that the airfield was built for national de- fenSe and that the natives ought to be grateful.
 The CAA, he said, similarly feels that the Indians should not expect to profit from a venture that is operated for the benefit of the territory.
 The Indians, McNickle said, re- piled that the airfield destroyed hunting and trapping grounds and damaged fishing areas, and that the owners of the island rather than a private company should re- ceive the income from airfield sales of aviation fuel.
 The CAA wants control over only about 5000 acres, less than half that used by the military forces during the war. Annette Island contains 85,120 acres alto gether.
The Nome nugget., 1947-11-26

to similar action in connection with some eighty other Indian reservations in Alaskan waters, all of which presently have closed rights to fishing at the mouths of certain streams for certain dis tances offshore.
 Companies involved in the suit against HyneS were the Grimes and Libby, Kakiah Fisheries com pany, Frank McConkghy and com pany, Inc, Parks Canneries com pany, Inc, San Juan Fishing and Packing company and Uganik Fisheries, Inc.

that the fishing industry presently
has in storage 136 million pounds
of frozen fish, and is prepared TO
augment this supply by producing
$50 million pounds in the next so
days. With these figures to work
from, the industry, according to Mr..
Tarburton, stated to Mr.. Luckman,
that it would be safe to urge the
American public to eat fish at one
meal each week. Present storage
stocks of canned fish and additional
caned fish production during the
next 80 days, are not included to
the above figures, and will the in
dustry believes, provide safety

The Del Bay Seafoods organiza-

executive assistant, noted an in
crease in the number of emergency
calls for Manhattan's 100000 cats.
Then he listed some pointers on
how to help the cats maintain their
nine-life tradition.
Owners should keep screens in
windows, to prevent the cats from
jumping or falling. Poison for rats
or bugs should be hidden-cats are
curious. The owners should put iden-
tifcation tags on their cats. Other
wise, they are fair game for seizure
and disposal.

has been done near Georgetown,
north of Gumboro, near Bridge
Vile, at Loves Cross Roads, near
Concord, west of Dagsboro, north
of Bayard, south of Phillips Hill,
and of course on the main POGO
moke River. The supervisors are
hopeful that two or three more OPP
erations of this nature can also
be started before the end of the
year
These large drainage operations
are only part of the overall dis
trict program and more than one
hundred additional farms have been
benefited by other district assist
ance. A substantial amount of
clearing has been done, much in
dividual farm drainage has been
| installed, very large acreage of
woodland has been planned for
maximum returns and many crop
/ land measures have been put into
effect. The amount of machinery
available in the district has been
greatly increased during the year

add additional equipment if the de-
mand for it increases.

Moon Circle and Spectrum

The inner white circle around the
moon is due to the scattering Of
light by water droplets in the atmos-
phere, while the colored spectrum
around the moon is caused by small
ice crystals existing in high clouds.
Each little ice crystal acts as a
prism to break up the light into a
spectrum; but since they are so
very small, we do not see them as
individual crystals and they are
united into a continuous circle.
