.BUSHMANN REPORTS
 ON SAND POINT COLD HORACE OPERATION

For 56 years August Buschmann has been living in Alaska or making yearly trips here in the interest Of are various fisheries projects in which he and his family have been associated.
 In Juneau this week he announced the first seasons operation of the Aleutian Cold Storage Company at Sand Point, Shumagin Islands. Will liam Semar is President and Man ager of the company and Busch mann, Vice-President and Di- rector.
 The new plant has capacity of 4,O0O ,O00 pounds of frozen fish and a daily freezing capacity of about 100000 pounds.
 Up to the present time the new plant has frozen about 2000, 900 pounds of halibut and half mil- lion pounds of salmon and black cod.
 There are good black cod banks
 
 in the area and with halibut and salmon seasons closed, the plant is now working cod and it is planned ito freeze fall salmon when fall fish, ing opens after September 6. As a contribution to Alaskan in- dustry, the plant at Sand Point de- serves note in that it will operate six or eight months of the year, af- ford longer employment and develop a good market for fish for longer period than is usual in the Aleutian area, MT. Buschmann said. It was in 1893 that August Busch mann built the location shack for his fathers cannery, stalking a trade and manufacturing site where the PAF cannery is now located at Pet ersburg. Petersburg, as anyon familiar with his history knows, was named for Peter Buschmann who chose the location as ideal for a fishing center.
 And the Buschmann family has been actively associated with the fishing industry ill Alaska evei since.

tremendous surplus of potatoes
gown in this country"

Four Americans
Are Recalled At
Romanian Request

Washington, Sept. 16.-(AP)-
The State Department disclosed
today that four members of the
American Legation staff in Bu-
charest, Romania, have been re-
called on demand of the Roman
ian government.
Romania had accused the four
of taking photographs in a for
hidden zone.
The United States rejected the
accusation and declared that the
Romanian governments COM
plants do not conform to the
facts.
This assertion was made in a
note which was delivered by
Minister Rudolph E. Schoenfeld
to the Romanian Foreign Minis
try yesterday.
The note, released by the State
Department today, accused Ro-
manian police in the city of Giur-
giu of having detained the two
men and two women clerks of
the legation staff for II hours
incommunicado after the alleged
photographing occurred.
1t charged that 'for 16 hours
no member of the group was al
lowed food or water"
Against this "inexcusable ac-
ton of the Romanian authori-
ties" Schoenfeld lodged what
his own note called an energetic
protest"
The four members of the lega-
ton staff involved in the incident
were named in the note as
Wayne Fisher, third secretary
and vice consul, of Glidden,
Iowa; Paul Green, an attache,
of Neeark, Ohio; Miss Ruth Vir-
ginia Carr, clerk, of San
Francisco; and Miss Pegg y
Maggard, a clerk, of Kansas
