about not only through increasing
the number of mechanics in certain
trades, which Is very necessary If
the industry is to continue to build
at high rate, but also by upgrad-

and providing enough highly skilled

Fish Trap License Not To Be Acted Upon At Present

WASHINGTON, (P)-The inte- rior departments controversial bill to license fish traps in Alaska will not be acted upon at this ses- sion of Congress, Senator Magnu- sonson D.-WashD said today.
 He said he and Senator Moore R.-OklaD, chairman of the joint House-Senate committee which recently held hearings on the leg islation, had reached an agree ment to that effect.
 Senator Moore and agree that after giving all interested per sons ample time to file additional statements or ask for an oral hear ing we will make a preliminary report to the Senate" Magnuson said in a statement.
 eve do not intend to close the hearings even then but will leave them open to give all Alaskans an opportunity of presenting their views.
 'I understand that some of the House members of the committee feel they should hold hearings in Alaska before reaching a final de- cision. I understand they want to do this during the recess of Con- gress next summer"
 The bill proposes the licensing of the traps for Is years, after which they would be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
 Alaskans testified against the fish traps and asked that they be abolished or that the problem be left for settlement by the Terri tory. Salmon packers supported the bill but suggested amend ments.

feel that they can openly supply the Greek rebels with arms. This has been done surreptitiously for months.
 The Soviet satellite states may go further. They may conclude treaties of alliance with the so- called Free Greek" government and on the basis of such pacts send in military forces to pro tect" the guerrilla area against invasion by troops of the Athens government.
 The problem posed by action of the Greek Communists is one for the United Nations. But as events have proved, the United Nations is helpless to take action in the face of Russia's veto.
 More immediately, the Greek problem is one which calls for ac- ton by the United States. The aid we have thus far Vouchsafed the Greek government did buy the lat ter time. But that time is now running out and the danger to Greece of being overrun and over whelmed by the Soviet tide is again great. This circumstance we cannot ignore without peril to our international position.

Rockefeller Heir Took Bride For Valentine
(BY Wilbur Jennings)

PALM BEACH, Fla, CP)-Win- throp Rockefeller, heir to a fabu- lous fortune, was married in the first minutes of this St. Valen- tines Day to Mrs Barbara Sears, daughter of Lithuanian immi- grants.
 The 35-year-old Rockefeller, one of the heirs to the millions of his grandfather, John D. ROcke- feller, and his pretty blonde bride, 3l, were married at 12:14 am.
 A reception before the wedding was attended by 50 guests who ranked among society's most noted figures and included the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
 The bride wore a simple pink linen dress with matching shoes which she bought a week ago and called something old;.' for some thing borrowed" she carried a handkerchief loaned by Mrs. Guest.
 In contrast with the wealth and social position the new Mrs Rock efeller commands by virtue of her marriage, she was born the daugh- ter of humble Lithuanian immi- grants in Pennsylvania. The fam fly later moved to Chicago. where they lived back of the stockyards, and then Indiana where she at tended high school. It is her sec Ond marriage.

Fish Will Relieve Food Shortages

1 Fish may again prove an i'm portant buffer in the national food situation, according to a report from the U. s. fish and wildlife service.
 With stocks of frozen fishery products above average for this l time of the year and with substan- tial supplies available through i'm ports and increases in fishing ac- tivities, the service reported that fishery products can provide an important source of relief for shortages in other protein foods.
 Holdings of frozen fish and shellfish in public freezerS in the l United States and Alaska tOtaled | 134 million pounds on January |, 1948. Although this was l3 per cent below the record quantity held on January l, l947, it was l2 per cent above the five-year average for this date.
 Among the items held in great est quantity were 30 million pounds of fillets, Is million pounds of shrimp, II millions pounds of halibut, l3 million pounds of sal mon, II million pounds of round and dressed whiting, 8 million pounds of round mackerel, and about 2 million pounds each of sCallOps, Whitefish, and lake herr ing. Shrimp, mackerel, and whit ing were held in considerably larger quantities than a year ago while fillets, salmon, and lake herring were substantially below a year ago.
 Fish and Wildlife service off cials pointed out that the fishing industry is one of the few import ant elements in the food field cap able of expanding it's production at the present time. Because of improved facilities and equip ment, the potential productive ca pacity of the United States fish cries is greater than ever before. 1 Nearly 1900 vessels have been added to the fleet during the past year This was about 4 times as many as were added in an average pre-War year.
 The volume of production dur ing 1947, which was approximate ly A billion pounds, the pre-war average, was affected by the fail ure of some markets to absorb a larger supply. The service predict ed that a more favorable market in 1948 would spur fishermen to increased activity and with usual operating conditions, a record catch could be expected.
 Imports, too, provide a source of fish for domestic use if in- creased quantities become neces- sary. Fillets from Newfoundland, Iceland, and Canada, which in l946 totaled 49 million pounds, declined to 33.7 million pounds in l947 as a result of less favorable market conditions. Production fa- cilities in these countries were ex- banded during the war and their maximum capacity is far from be-
