DECISION IS
 MADE, KODIAK FISHING CASE
Inferior Secretary Over stepped Powers-Reser-
 yations Are Involved

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-R- An Alaska Federal Court order barring enforcement of certain pro- visions Of the i946 Alaska Fisheries General Regulations by the Inter-
 or Department was affirmed yes terday by the U s. Circuit Court of Appeals,
 The decision was on an appeal by Frank Hynes. Regional Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior.
 The District Court granted seven large packing companies an injunc- ton preventing Hynes from en- forcing certain restrictive provi- sons of the general regulations. and also from seizing boats and fishing equipment in waters adja cent to the Karluk Indian Reser- vation on Kodiak Island.
 The comranies. representing a S70,009.o00 annual fishing business in the Alaskan area, would have been prevented from fishing around Karluk Reservation under the chal- lenged provisions
 They argued that the Secretary of the Interior did not have the right to create monopoly for In- dians fishing more than 5000 feet off the man shore line.
 This view was upheld by the lcwer court and affirmed by the Court of Appeals.
 Under the decision, the conipan- les may fish up to within 5000 feet of the main shore line. Persons familiar with the suit said the de- eislon was expected to lead to si- milar action Tn connection with some eighty other Indian reserva- tions in Alaskan waters, all of which have closed rights to fish ing at the mouths of certain streams for certain distances off, shore.
 Companies involved in the suit against Hynes were the Grimes Packing Company. Libby, McNeill and Libby, Kaklh Fisheries Com pany, Frank McConaghy and Com pany, Inc, Parks Canneries Com pany Inc, San Juan Fishing and Packing Company and Uganik Fisnerles. Inc.

the same shipper could not send freight via Prince Rupert, Canada, and have it carried from there to Alaska ty Canadian vessel.
 He asked the same privileges be given Alaskan purchasers to use the foreign ships as is given a purchased on the West Coast.
 Extend Interim Plan
 He urged the committee to ex- end the interim plan, with amend ments he suggested, for another year
 Previously Alaska's Governor and Rep. Jackson tD-Wash) clashed when the former charged the Alaska Steam and Northland were a monopoly in service to Alaska which injured the Territory.
 Jackson said many charges had been made against the Seattle Company that were without basis and that when the interim agree ment to serve Alaska was drawn those companies and Alaska Trans portation were the only companies which showed any interest in giving service to the Territory.
 The committee recessed it's hear ings until next January.

SHIP PLAN
 APPROVED
 BY RIVERS
Permanent Service Under New Proposal Given
 OK by Atty. Gen.
Bv CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-lR- Ralph J. Rivers, Attorney General of Alaska, told the House special Alaska transportation committee yesterday he approved the propos- al of two Seattle steamship com panies to establish permanent ser vice to the Territory, with some exceptions.
 This plan, he said, would be his second choice for continuing the service after the present interim plan of operation with government ships terminates next June.
 He said his first choice is to continue the interim service. con- solidating the Alaska Steamship Company and the Northland Transportation Company and giv- ing the resulting firm and the Alaska Transportation Company the right to operate in all Alaskan waters.
 To Purcha1e Govt. Vessels
 If this cannot be done, he said he believed the plan of Alaska Steamship and Northland to pur- chase government vessels at not more than $10OO00 and operate them exclusively in Alaskan ser vice was the next best proposal. He said he would amend the proposal to provide that Alaska Transpor- tation should be given the same privileges.
 The companies now are operating under an interim agreement under which Alaska Steamship serves Western Alaska and the other companies are restricted to South east Alaska.
 Rivers said he would oppose any effort to base either plan on any pre-war traffic pattern, when the business of the Territory was large ly in the Southeast, because it new has moved to the rail belt in Western Alaska.
 Canadian Boats Needed
 fLlNGIS dShtu oi eAAN Jones Law prohibiting foreign ves- sels from carrying passengers and freight between American ports.
 He said that under that law and the Ship Passenger Act of 1886 the Canadian vessels could bring passengers into Alaska ports from Canada, but cannot carry passengers from one Alaskan port to another This prohibition. he said, injured the Territory's tour ist business.
 Under the laws, he said, mld- west shipper could send an order of goods to Vancouver, where It. could be carried to the purchaser at Seattle in a Canadian vessel.

The W ashlngton Merry Co., Round
by DnGW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Thanks to the enterprise of the Santa Fe Railroad and Dick Long, editor of the Wien ita Eagle, special Southwest Wheat Section of the Friendship Train IS rumbling through Kansas today, 1O2 cars long.
 For some days the Santa Fe and other railroads of the southwest have been collecting boxcars for the start of this train. Unlike the first Friendship Train which left Los Angeles with only ten cars ana collected others along the way, the wheat special will start with most of it's load already on the train. They have been collected from points south and west--in Texas, Colorado, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
 Meanwhile, the generosity of the American publlc-as usual, far ahead of the Congress-is being expressed in other areas which want to start Friendship Trains. Many communities, hurt, even in- dignant that they have been left out. want to participate.
 One underlying reason for this is that, for the first time in years, the American people have found a means Of taking part in American foreien policy. Instead of sitting at home with no way of expressing themselves other than writing let ters to their Congressmen, the Am erican people now have come to

COUNCIL E ASKED TO LEASE AS HALL
 FOR ROLLER RINK
Runway Clearing at Air. port, Liquor Issues, Are
 Taken Up Last Night

Plans tc lease the tcp floor of the c.ty-owned AB Hall to Harold E. Mayo and Frederick R. Grenare for use as a roller skating rink were tentatively approved by the City Council at it's regular session last evening.
 A special committee appointed by Mayor Waino Hendrickson several weeks ago to look into possible us- es for the hall was authorized to continue the negotiations, and will presumably bring proposed lease drawn up by the City Attorney for approval at the December 5 ses- sion.
 As proposed by Mayo and Gren- are, and modified slightly by the Council, the agreement would apply to the top or fourth floor of the hall only.
 Rent would be s75' per month, with the first and last months paid in advance. After the first year, the rent would be increased to $l25 per month. Either party to the lease could terminate the agree ment on 60 days notice.
 Mayo assured the Council that every effort would be made to make the space available to organized public groups at cost during times that it was not in use for commer- cial purposes.
 Another agreement is pending, according to Committee Chairman Burr Johnson, which would pro vide for renting the basement of the AB Hall for commercial pur- poses The party which is nego- tiating for the basement was not named, but Johnson said the rent would be placed at SIPS per month.

pAA SLASHES WINTER TRIP
 AWAY FARES
Announce Reductions in Alaskan Passenger
 Fares UntiI March

SEATTLE, Nov 22.-tR-- Pan American World Airways announce ed today a reduction of approxi- mately 30 percent in passenger fares for the lew volume winter season. The new schedule is ef- fectiye until March 15. The com pany also reported it had applied to tke Civil Aeronautics Board for permission to reduce express rates to Alaska The announcement said the proposed schedule contains some reductions running as high as S2 percent
 The sharply reduced winter pas senger fares will be effective from December l, 1947 to March l5, l948, and will apply to all points along the Alaska Clipper routes, as well as to and from Seattle, ac- oording to Harvey Hancock, Di- rector of Traffic for the Pacific Alaska Division. Communities which will benefit will be Ketchikan, Ju- neau, Whitehorse. Fairbanks and Nome.
 The winter fares are good for travel in either direction, allow for stopovers enroute and will be valid for 30 days after the start of trip. Thus while tickets must be purchased by March Is, 1948, a trip need not be completed before April 15.
 Details of the reduction in Alaska express rates-the third such cut in recent months--will be announced later ss.
 The Pacific Alaska Division an- nounced that it will utilize both DC-4 and DC-3 Clippers in the Alaska region this winter.

 there are over score of boys on the Coast Guard Gutter Wachu- sett, newly enlisted lads tBoots) in the service, who are too old for the Teen Age Club and not old enough for admission to the lounges.
 Many of them are away from home for the first time, and it is coming Thanksgiving Day, and they are going to feel lonely and crave for that good dfashioned home-cooked dinner. Of course they are going to have a turkey dinner aboard the ship, with all the trimmings, toe, but there is something that the best of chefs can't serve at holiday meal-and that is that honey feeling.
 Now, if there are any Juneauites who can open their doors and take in couple of boys for a Thanks giving Day home dinner, it's just fine and dandy and sure will be We say "a couple of boys" for this reason. The boys are kind of modest sort. when it comes to accepting home eom- forts among strangers. and would rather travel in pairs, but of course if you Juneauites can't make room for two, just make room for one and then make him feel at home too.
 Now, if anyone cares to make it an enjoyable Thanksgiving Day fer these kids on the Wachusett, just telephone the city clerks office, 88, and say that this is MT. and Mrs. John Brown. giving both resi- pCiiNC liuiiib-l dilo lCiClJltOllC llliiil- OCT and we will gladly take two coys, or one, on Thanksgiving Day, for dinner" stating the hour for the feed. also. There are also several Mrs. who have apartments, and they can get in on this too. Also, there are several groups of girls, perhaps, who would like to invite a boy. That's all right, too. The boys will be gentlemen, and perhaps join in clearing the tahle and even help in washing the dishes afterward-and not break any at that.
 Just phone the City Clerk as above and it is cinch Mayor Waino Hendrickson and officers of the Wachusett will join in making appointments.
 How about it-and remember, it is requested that all invitations be extended not later than 4 o'clock next Tuesday afternoon.

The School Situation

One of the most critical problems fac
inc the public schools in this and most OF
the other counties of North Carolina IS the
lack of adequate buildings and equipment.
To erect, improve and equip these build
ings will cost lot of money and to date
the responsibility for this activity rests
solely upon local cities and counties.
For the larger and richer counties, this
nroblem is not so acute, but it is a heavy
burden for the smaller and more agrlcul-
tural counties.
The entire state and nation BENEFITS
from education and because of the concen-

Labor Laws Passed

One Of the major mandates from the
people in the last general election was q
curb on labor unions and the abusive use
of their power to the determent Of public
welfare.
Whereupon it is only natural that the
congress should pass, after lengthy con-
sderation and debate, measures that will
place some control over unions and make
them more responsible.
Bills have been passed by both the SEN
ate and house and committees are now
busy endeavoring to adjust differences.
There is speculation that President Tru-
man will veto the measures. This news
paper does not think he will dare do such
a thing especially in view of public de-
mand and the overwhelming vote by which
congress passed the bills The vote was
sufficient to override a veto.
Another consideration is the fact that
Mr.. Truman signed the portal pay 1egis-
lation, outlawing the ridiculous portal
claims.
Labor leaders have been selfishly seek
ing their own gains without due regard
for public good and it is time for the peo-
pie to control them

Communists On The Run

Henry Wallace and the Communists
have been making some progress in the
United States since the end of World War
two, but their campaigns are now, thank
goodness, receiving overwhelming set
backs
By a resounding vote of 70 to 4, the
Senate last week passed the administra-
ton plan to grant S35O,000000 to relieve
suffering abroad and S400000000 to pro-
vide economic and military relief for
Greece and Turkey.
A major objective Of these legislative
grants is to stop the spread Of enforced
Communism over the continents of Eu
rope and Asia.
Naturally neither the Soviets nor Mr.
Wallace approve this foreign policy and
are bitterly attacking it.
After speaking against it in England
and France, Mr.. Wallace is now touring
the United States and is getting some SYM
pathetic radicals to listen to him, but on
the whole his reception must be disap-
pointing to his presidential aspirations
through the media of a new party, or the
capturing Of the Democrats.
The governments drive to eliminate all
of the Communists from the ranks of gov
eminent employment is likewise highly
applauded by the overwhelming majority
of the people and should be pushed with
rapidity.
This paper is certain that few are the
people in America who want to bore into
Russia's system Of government and have
it changed and we want them to pursue the
same policy relative to us and to the other
nations Of the earth.
Undoubtedly Russia has a big job to
do at home and it seems to us that they
should be content with doing that JoO.
