 HEADS END
 BIG PUDDLE
Strict Secrecy Maintained al Important Conference
 Held Over Weekend

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-tR The nations top military commanders re- turned to their desks today after
 second closely guarded huddle
 away from Washington. 1 As in the case of his March ses- i sion of the joint chiefs of staff at Key West. Fla. Secretary of De- fense Forrestal delayed any immedi- ate word of decisions reached over
 the weekend at Newport, R. I. The two-day meeting at the Naval
 War College there closed yester- day in the same tight-lipped secrecy that surrounded it ever since the first announcement that it would
 be held.
 Forrestal and his uniformed aides flew back to Washington late last night. but newsmen were told in
 advance that no one would have anything to say.
 While these top-secret meetings
 were in progress, however, the Air
 Force let it be known that one of the things it would like to have most Iof all is guided missile capable
 of carrying an atom-bomb to a
 target 5000 miles away-and faster
 than the speed of sound. Such a weapon was labeled a
 must in the final report of Gen.
 Carl Spaatz, who turned over his job as Air Force Chief of Staff to Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg several weeks age.
 Spaatz said that since there is
 no existing defense against weap- on of this type the United States must be the first to develop it. He said it has been prime objective
 ever since the guided missiles pro- gram was launched. But he gave no hint what, if any. progress has been
 made.

Conference Scheduled To- night Is Last One of
 4-Power Sessions

MOSCOW, Aug. 23. R--Diplo- mats of the U. S., Britain and France went to the Kremlin tonight for an appointment with Prime Minister Stalin and Foreign Mini ster Molotov.
 It was freely predicted that the meeting tonight will be the last in the series of four-power conferences which started late in July. The Western diplomats are believed seek ing a lifting of the Berlin blockade and exploring basis for four-power talks on Germany and other Euro pean problems.
 Ambassador Waited Bedell Smith of the U. S., Ambassador Yves Cha taigneau of France and British En- voy Frank Roberts each went to the Kremlin from his own embassy. They had conferred during the morning at the French Embassy
 The outcome of the Kremlin ses- sion probably will determine whether  there is to be an agreement present. ly between the Western powers and Russia about Berlin and Germany.
 Smith told foreign correspondents in letter that he assumed si- multaneous statements would be is sued in Washington. Moscow, Lon- don and Paris when the four power talks end
 T regret to inform you that my instructions are specific and that I will not be abe to make any com ment until authorized by Washing ton," he said.
 Secrecy is so absolute that there is no reliable news here on the status of the talks.

Commercial Fishing Reopened Ln SE Alask
STATEMENT ISSUED BY DAY, DIRECTOR
 OF FISH, WILDLIFE

Albert M. Day, Director, Fish and Wndlife Service, issued the follow ing statement on the re-opening of all fishing areas in Southeast Alas ka.
 "The recent events III the regula- ton of the salmon industry in Alas ka have undoubtedly raised ques-
 tions regarding the resources for the unexpected closures and the la ter reopening of the season in all Southeastern on August B. Basic ally, the chief seat of the trouble has been due to the unusually dry sunshiny summer in the Territory
 Fish have not acted normally be-
 cause the streams have been low and
 summer storms few and far be- tween.
 Coupled with the dry summer, the pink salmon run is at the lowest
 point in many years. The escapement
 of the 1946 run-the basis of the present fishery was very poor, and chances for good catch this year
 are not all bright. Serious considera-
 ton was given to complete closure
 this season, but after much delibera- ] ton and study, it was decided to grant a limited season originally
 prescribed to run from August g to
 September 3. Had the weatherman cooperated, this season would prob
 ably have been satisfactory. Under existing circumstances, additional
 closures seemed to be the only alter native
 During the recent hectic situa- ltion have been accused of having little regard for the financial in vestment of the packers and for the welfare of the communities which depend upon the salmon industry for their livelihood. In fact, have heard some very uncomplimentary statements about the Director and the staff of the Fish and Wildlife Service This seems to be one of the rewards of conscientious pulp lie service I think that the people of Alaska should know, however, that the industry which produces great wealth here is in a very sorry state of health, and even though the pill may be bitter. it must Joe swallowed, either now or later. Alaska is desperately seeking new industries and new sources of wealth, while at the same time pro- duction in its most important in- dustry has been steadily declining through over exploitation. It can be rehabilitated and continue forever to be your greatest industry, but only when measures are adopted that will make certain that the spawning streams are adequately seeded each year. This will require sincere CO., operation of the entire industry, the people in the local communities, and the Fish and Wildlife Service which has beer given the difficult and thankless task of regulating the resource"

They want to day off to be uniform, with Sunday preferred Longshoremen say they are knocking off in San Francisco from 6 D. m. tomorrow until D. m. Wednesday so members of the
 union can attend a meeting call Led to discuss the sdcedl dloaked inari-l
 tune labor dispute.
 1 Employers say the layoff was l intended to demoralize the water { front and that its timing with two large passenger ships due to be handled--was mo coincidence"
 There was similar layoff last
 Wednesday, work was interrupted for IA hours while the union had meeting
 This weeks work stoppage is scheduled for only four hours We'd nesday. But the union says that crews which normally would work Tuesday night are laying off to get their sleep
 James Kearney. spokesman f6r the lonsshore union. said emer- gency gangs would service two large passenger ships which are docking or sailing during the 2i-hour lay off period.
