HEARING ON
 1949 FISHING
 REGULATIONS
Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) the Service feels is possible in view of the serious depletion of the pink salmon
 The closure of traps blocking free passage of the fish from outside waters to the inner passes is in line with recommendations receiv- ed at the hearings held here last fall, as is the closure of some of the more depleted areas to all fishing
 Reserve Areas
 These reserve areas are subject to reopening at any time if the abundance of fish should warrant it during the season. The Septem- Der closing date is tentative and might be extended or cur tailed, also depending on the run at that time.
 The Service is determined, said Rhode, that the all-import- ant pink salmon fishery will be restored, and it is believed that these proposals will allow further rebuilding of the early runs now sadly depleted, and also give the fishermen and the operators chance to put up pack"
 Proposed Changes
 The principal changes rr9posed are as follows:
 Icy Strait District
 l. The closure of all traps at the entrance to the Straits and along the shore of Chichagof Island.
 2. Create preserves covering prln- cipal pink salmon areas, which are badly depleted. These preserves will probably be as follows: (a) From Mud Bay to Point Adolphus for 300 yards offshore; (b) Spass- kia Bay; Co Whitestone Harbor to Point Augusta for 500 yards off, shore; (d) Lisianski Inlet above Pelican City; (e) All of Port Fred erick; d) Port Althorp, within one statute mile of the head of the bay.
 The trap closures in this area will be more than 65 per cent. In the Eastern District trap closure will be 100 per cent. The entire Stephens Pass-Frederick Sound area will be a preserve, with the exception of Taku and Snettisham.
 Details of other fishing districts will be discussed at this weeks meeting.

the hands of these lecherous
parasites, who have no heart or
conscience must be as dirty and
crooked as the men who foster
it.
Referees must be made to real

before irreparable damage is
done. Baroudi's and Darthard's
lives might have been saved if
their fights had been stopped
earlier. Another tragedy might
have resulted in the Interna-

Americans have signed a state
ments protesting that the film is
war propaganda whose purpose
is to incite anti-Soviet sentiment
by falsely presenting the Rus
sian people as enemies of the
American people, bend on de-
stroying us by atomic warfare"
The statement went on to note
that the film is directly in vio-
lation of the resolution adopted
by the General Assembly of the
United Nations which condemned
all forms of propaganda likely
to provoke or encourage a threat
to peace.
The film is based on the Ca
madam spy case of 1916 and the
revelations of Igor Gouzenko,
the Russian embassy clerk who
turned traitor.
Through the use of a narra-
tive commentator, who comes
into the film from time to time
to load, slant, and suggest by
innuendo, the film gives the au-
dience the impression that what
they are seeing on the screen
really happened.
What Milton Krims. who did
the script, and William Well
man, who directed, neglect to
point out is that whole proceed
ure of the case was roundly con-
demned by Canadian newspapers
as a threat to civil liberties;
that many of these arrested were
subsequently freed for lack of
evidence and that military at
taches of all embassies - yes,
even American = are specifically
assigned to get military facts.
The cast includes among its
unhappy and bewildered trained
seals Dana Andrews-of North
Star" fame-Gene Tierney, June
Havoc, and assorted companions.
