TERRITORY
 WILL GIVE
 OWN PLAN
Legislation 10 Be Submit ted to Congress Next
 Week Say Bartlett
Hy CHARLES D. wATKINs

WASHINGTON, May 8-tR-- DelePate Bartlett of Alaska said the Territory opposes legislation introduced to extend the present Alaskan shipping service and will offer a plan of its own to Con- gress.
 Bartlett said proposed exten- sion of the present service by three Seattle steamship companies under resolution introduced yesterday by Rep. Tollefson tR-Wash) has been rejected by Territorial offi- cials
 After conierring with Ralph Rivers. Attorney General of Alas ka, Bartlett said the Territory op- poses the Tollefson bill because it believes there are insufficient safe guards to guarantee that the people of Alaska will derive proper bene- fits from an operation that will be subsidized by the taxpayers of the United States
 We are not at all interested in subsidies for the operators as such" Bartlett said
 We believe the benefits of the subsidies should go to the citizens of Alaska to keep shipping charges down and promote development of the Territory.
 We do not believe it is at all sure that the Tollefson resolution will achieve those objectives" Bartlett said the Alaskans ex- pect to introduce legislation next week to extend the present plan on terms they believe will be fav- orable to the Territory.
 The present service is operated under an agreement with tho Maritime Commission.
 The Commission furnishes the companies government-owned ves- sels for Si year.
 The companies are allowed about 10 percent of their income before taxes.
 Under the proposed extension. from June 30 until December 3l. l949. the companies would be all lowed not more than 15 percent of the revenue from the operations and on the few ships they own, would be allowed 10 percent before taxes.

|DISAppEARANCE OF !SARDINES IN COAST WATERS E MYSTERY

SAN PEDRO, Calf, May 8-lR- s.s far as marine scientists are con cerned the scarcity of sardines which has developed in West Coast waters is still mostly a mystery.
 John F. Janssen Jr., Aquatic Bi- ologist for the State Bureau of Marine Fisheries. says the shortage has been caused by an intensity oi fishing, combined with several years of poor survival from spawn ing
 Why the survival has been pooI is still an answered question. But Jansen and other state scientists are attacking the problem in the hope of finding the answer.
 The State Fish and Game re- search vessel N. B. Scofield returned last week from preliminary sur very of the sardine situation in Mexican waters off Baja California
 Fishermen had reported last fall and winter that supplies of sardine had increased in that area. This led the fishermen to suppose that the center of population might have moved southward.
 However Jansen said the expedi- ton found this. The small area where we found. young fish was not large enough to allow us to predict whether fishing will improve
 The main spawning ground for sardine has been found to lie about 100 miles offshore from Southern California. Jansen said that if there had been any general move ment of the sardine population to more scutherly waters this would have shown up in the survey along Baja California.

Two Finders of Plane
 Crash Wretkage May
 Gef Pay increases

WASHINGTON, May 8.-tR-Two Civil Aeronautics Administration employees have been recommended for 8 pay increase because of their help in locating the wreckage of an airplane in Alaska.
 Normal duties of Maurice Ben ningfield and Layton A. Bennett in Alaska's rugged, almost inaccessible , areas include providing weather data to airplanes.
 But on the night of March l2, a Northwest Airlines plane crashed iagainst 16,o00-foot Mt. Sanford killing all 30 persons aboard. Benningfield was on duty at CAA's 1 Gulkana Station. He saw red glow in the sky. Then, using a crude method of taking a bearing on the flames, he measured the exact angle with pencil supported against a door jamb. This enabled a CAA pilot to find the wreckage next morning.
 On the night of the crash, Ben nett flew his own small single-en- zine plane over the mountainous area in an unsuccessful search for the airliner It fell 1000 feet into a glacier head and was covered by snow during the night. The CAA's announcement today did not say how much of a salary increase has been recommended for the two men. Benningfield is from Valparaiso, Ind; Bennett is from Forest Grove, Ore.

 WASHINGTON = One of the richest war prizes captured from the Germans was series of Nazi documents on Hitlel secret deals. These gave gold mine of in- formation on Nazi intrigue all over the world and should help the American people avoid war in the future
 Many of these documents have now been made public. But signif- icantly, highly Illuminating Ger man secrets pertaining to the Arabs so far have not. They are espec- ially enlightening today in view of the Palestine crisis and the Arab claim that they deserve world sympathy.
 British diplomats, this columnist is informed, were bitter when they first learned of Arab-Nazi in- trigue at a time when the British were fighting with their backs tc the wall near Suez. But despite British resentment, the texts oi the Nazi messages have not beer made public. even though captur- ed at the expense of Anglo-Amer- ican blood.
