no traps, depending on moO'aS gear catching the fish for tneaf pack.
 In Southeastern Alaska mo- bile gear caught 45 per cent oy. volume of the pack in that area Mobile gear caught 55 per cent by volume of the pack in Cent ral Alaska and of course 100 per cent in the Western District.
 Figures compiled by the Fish and Wildlife Service for the l947 season on the Kodiak Island pack present the latest available statistics on a very important area. There are ten modern canneries on the Island and one hand pack operation.
 Only four of these oper ations use traps. and they supplement- ed their trap operations with fish caught by mobile gear u0 the extent of 40 per cent plus for the l947 season. Fish caught by mobile gear accounted for A little over 75 per cent of tho total pack on Kodiak Island for 1947.
 It is believed that the above shows clearly that salmon pack ing thrives in Alaska without resorting to the use of traps in catching the fish.

The Alaska Salmon Industry Incorporated has. testified pub lically before the Alaska Terri torial Legislature and Congress- onal committees that the use of the salmon trap is necessary if the salmon canning industry is to survive. The following observations based on the 1945 Statistical Digest No. 15 of the Fish and Wildllfe Sc. vice, dis prove this claim. Figures stat- ing the number of canneries has been corrected to prevent dupE- cation where a Floater fished in more than one area, or District.
 A total of 96 canneries oper- ated in Alaska in 1945. In the Western Alaska District com- monly referred to as Bristol Bay, no traps are permitted. In 1945, ten canneries operated putting up 20 per cent of the value of the total pack for all districts and nearly I64 per cent by vol tune of the total pack.
 In Central and Southeastern Alaska where both traps and mobile gear are permitted. 86 canneries operated Forty eight operated using traps and many if not all of them supplemented their pack with fish caught by mobile gear. Thirty eight used

Town Tidbits

Classified ads have 8 way of developing into amusing tales, 1t ] seems Joe Kelrigan advertised 8 lost fountain pen last week, and on Monday said he not only had his pen back, but, jokingly was considering bringing charges.
 It seems that Mrs. Helen Wright while IKEA easement collecting with Mrs Ellen Daw- son, had picked up the pen to use, at the Union Hall, and then pocketed it. She later found the unfamiliar pen among her other ones, and wondered where it came from. The ad enlightened her, and she promptly returned it.
 Said Joe: "I thought that was where it was, but I figured the ad wouldn't cause any embar- rassment and would be a more tactful way of asking for the penw

 Also 8 note from Mrs. R. c Sutllff, wife of Capt. Sutliff, for mer base commander. They are in Washington, D. c. now. Mrs Sutliff sent 8 belated entry to the MIRROR contest on what to cali person from Kodiak.
 Her suggestion: Every place wishes to base itself on a tradi- tiGn, and the oldest inhabitants and consequently the oldest tra- ditions of Kodiak are the Aleuts. My vote-and 1 hope someone else thought of it-is Kodeut." There was a real live bear on the steets of Kodiak this week He was only a small 5.months old cub, and when we saw him he was being led (pulled??) down the street by George Mag nusen. The cub belonged to MT. T. Int. Hout, employee of the barge. Rose Mary, of Seldovia. MT. ,Int.Hout keeps the bear &. board the barge as a mascot.
 This bear story has an unhap- py ending as far as it's owner IS concerned. Bosco the bear was conflscated by an agent of he Flsh and Wlldl.fs servlce, it bs- ing illegal to hold such an animal in captivity. The bear will bc re- tuined to it's native hau:ts neaz Seldovia.

Investigating Reds In Alaska Labor

ANCHORAGE, (P)-TWo mem bers of the House committee on education and labor will open an inquiry in District court here to- day on communistic activities in Alaska.
 Rep. Charles Kersten R.-Wisc. ) and Rep. O. C.Fisher D.-TexO spent Thursday interviewing man. agement and labor representa- lives. Friday they flew to Nome. They visited Fairbanks before re- turning here.
 Investigators Frank McArahur and Howard Rushmore are with the Congressmen.
 Kersten declared: "We know the same pattern is followed here as in the States, the communists at- tempt to gain leadership in stra- tegic unions and lead the mem berShip into their political philos- ophy. That doesn't mean the ma jority of the members of such unions are communists.
 With Alaska becoming increas- ingly important to the national de- fense, the committee feels a full scale investigation is necessary at this time"
 The group expects to spend 10 days in the Territory.

Strike-Bound, Idle Ship Total Mounts

SAN FRANCISCO, (F) - The number of American flag ships tied up in the 45-day west coast maritime strike increased to 222 today, lending an increasing urg- ency to the cautious peace alkS between waterfront employers and Allan Haywood, CIO na ional vice president.
 Haywood and a suo-cOmmit. .ee of the waterfront employers as O. citation were still discussing his offer for a national CIO guarantee on any new contracts with the four CIO unions involVed in the strike. The proposal was advanc- ed to meet employer asser ions of irresponsible" leadership in the unions.
 There were reports that some of the employers were willing to back down from previous de- mandS that all uniOne leaders sign non-cOmmuniSt affidaVitS under the Taft-Hartley act. Frank P Foi- sic, WEA president, asserted the demand still stands, but declined to answer a reporters question on whether the attitude might change if the employers are convinced the national CIO can guarantee he contracts.
 The number of vessels tied up will reach 375 if the strike con- tinues, said the Pacific American Steamship association.

 U. N. mediator Ralph Bunche said he would ask the security council to hold a special meeting if Israel refuses his new order for three days of peace. Egyptian troops, against whom the Jewish force was directed, accepted the cease fire, but the Jews did not reply.
 Both sides were reported suf- fering heavy casualties in the re- newal of the war. The Jews said there was large scale air activ- ity." They said they had smashed open the road to Jewish settle ments in the sou hern Wastelands. The Egyptians said they killed 500 Jews. Egypt complained to the U. N. however, that the Jews had blocked the highway approach from Gaza, their main base, to Jerusalem.
 The fighting began Friday, breaking a previous U. N.-enforc- ed peace order. One unconfirmed report said Arab forces are evac- uating Gaza, capital of the pro- jected Palestine Arab government
