The members of Zion Passion
Play Cast assembled in Zion
Home Dining Room last Friday
}evening to enjoy a hearty din
ner prepared by Mrs. Clark
Pitcher and her helpers. Even
Though Overseer Mintern had
invited all the cast members,
naturally some found it impos-
sible to attend due to previous
arrangements, but a goodly
number enjoyed the dinner.
| Our Mifflin Trio rendered
several numbers which were
heartily encored. They were
accompanied by Dick Anthony
at the piano.
This was followed with
workshop discussions by mem
ibers of the cast. Overseer Min
tern thanked God for the priv
ilege the cast has in presenting
this service. He also thanked
the wives and families for the
sacrifice they make for this
cause. He mentioned especial
ly those who do not appear in
the public view.
Other speakers were Elder
Jabez Taylor, Overseer Lee,
Leroy Peacy and Mrs. Young.
Elder Taylor, who acted as
chairman, also asked Ray
Baurle to speak.
Mrs. Young in her remarks
spoke about the honor which

OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
(Rocky Mountain NeWs)

(Rocky Mountain News) Certain Republican Senators gunning for J. Edgar Hoover the FBI chief in the event of Governor Deweys election it is understood because of their dissatisfaction with the FBIs performance in the Kansas City vote fraud investigation. this report rue this illadvised project should be dropped before it goes any farther.
 The FB1 is not partisan agency, and it must not be made political football.
 This organization is first line of defense against communist sabotage, in the event of with Russia. To destroy it's morale in these critical times would be to cut off our good right
 There isn't in America better informed on the communist problem than J. Edgar Hoover. That is why he has been continuing target for communist attack He belongs right where he is-n command of our home front defenses
 It is most unfair to Governor Dewey to link his name with this unac proposal If he is called to head the tion he certainly would not want to wreck of the relatively few effective agencies which he would in- herit.
 Moreover, experienced prosecutor, he knows better than to inject petty parsanship into bureau that hasn't been tainted by the spells system since the days of Hardingsm.

 There's nothing wrong about politicsexcept the way we the people operate it permit it to be operated
 If you believe the people capable of self-govern- ment-and think we're pretty we'll committed to that premiSe-how do you propose the various functions be carried on, if not through politics?
 It seems to me the question is not of politics or politics, but of who is to be let in the politics.
 Instead of leaving the authority with the public gen. erally, most of the proposals have would merely transfer that voice to restricted group If you go along with the idea that such restricted groups better quail flied than the whole people to deal with these problems say so.

King Crab Fishing Nets Government
 Half Million Profit

1 ((P) Special Washington Service) ! WASHINGTON, (P-The larg- est king crab fishing venture in U. S. history brought the federal government a half-million-dollar income this year, the fish and wildlife service disclosed recently. As result, a sizeable amount of Alaskan canned king crab is on the markets for the first time since the pre-war days when Japan met most of the U. s. demand for this delicacy.
 A. w. Anderson, the agency's chief of commercial fisheries, told a reporter the governments fac tory ship Pacific Explorer caught 4l8,000 of the giant crabs-all of them males-this season.
 Some of them weighed Is or more pounds and had an overall spread of up to four or five feet. The pack totaled l8,OOO cases by far the largest ever put up by U. s. interests, Anderson said.
 He added that the catch was sold, at SPA to $26 a case. to the Columbia River Packers Associa- ton, Astoria, Ore. There also was a limited catch in Alaskan waters. he said, by three or four small pri- vately-owned vessels operating out of Seattle.
 Between 1881 and 194O United States buyers paid more than $27,- 100000 for Japanese canned king crab meat. During the last five years of that decade Japanese inn ports accounted for 95 per cent of U. s. consumption of canned crab meat. Some 413,OOO cases were inn ported in 1889.
 Experimental fishing this year has established, Anderson said, that there is potentially large crab fishery in the Boring Sea and smaller, but still commercially inn portant, crab populations in Paw lof and Canoe Bays on the south side of the Alaska Peninsula, around Kodiak Island and in lower Cook Inlet.
 The Pacific Explorers inexperi-, enced crew caught 3O,0OO crabs in Pavlof Bay within a few days in mid-April. The vessel moved on to the Amak Island area north of the peninsula and in June caught so many it became necessary to limit the fleet ot l8,000 to 10000 crabs daily. The largest one-day catch was 25,00O crabs June 3.
