 The visible supply of salmon has been decreasing since 1920. The high level of canned salmon has been maintained by canning our seed fish,. During this entire time, the Bureau of Fisheries and the Canned Salmon Industry has maintained that there was no de- crease in the Run. This was also the view of Andrew Hope and Frank Peratroyich tHoonah convention and Congressonial Hearings).
 The only change in the regula- tions since 1920 has been to adopt closed season.. I was the only person who opposed this change and argued If you breed late fish, you will get only late fish. In 1923 when Icy Straits was closed till August 9th, I said, "The time will come when the only fish left will be those that run after August 9th.
 This year, Icy Straits opens Aug ust 9th.
 WE ARE KILLING OUR SEED FISH. Proof? Tn 1885. SEE. Alaska pack was 3,5OO,000. In 1947, our pack was under 100000. And yet, the underlying principle of fish regulation is the same.

The Rival Strategies

Governor Dewey's opening campaign ad-
dress at Des Moines confirms previous
indications that the Republican strategy
this year calls for an appeal to the voters
that is keyed to the note of national unity.
Listening to his talk one had the feeling
that the New York Governor had climbed
to the mountain top, and that from that
lofty platform he was not only above
partisan politics, but also oblivious to the
nasty taunts of his opponent down on the
stump below 1t was more speech OF
tone than of content. 1t was an attempt
to establish the contrast between the ap-
peals of the two candidates, and 1t may
well prove to be effective strategy. But
the Governor had better be careful that
he does not overdo it.
Mr. Dewey promised that in subsequent
speeches he will deal with specific issues.
Certainly he did not deal with them last
night, and the country will be waiting to
hear specifically how he proposes to handle
the pressing questions that confront us.
1t is to be hoped that he can keep these
discussions pitched to high level, but that
he will not be content with Offering lofty
tone and nothing more.
Meanwhile, the President goes his labori-
Gus way, waging what he believes is the
only type of campaign that holds promise
of success for him. 1t is campaign which
endeavors to appeal to fear, to sectional
ism, to distrust In short, it is a campaign
which, If successful, would tend to foster
disunity at a time when there is great
need for unity. Our politics being what
they are, perhaps it has to be this way.
One can only await the day when the
election will be over.

No Bible Equality

To the Editor Of The Star:
E. B. Henderson and others who advocate
doing away with segregation of white and
Negro appear to be sincere in their belief
However, l think they are wrong, regardless
Of the TACT that many high church dignitaries
side with them.
First of all, nature is distinguished by its
infinite variety. God made 1t that way. II
He had wanted it different, He would have
made ii so. Our noble instincts, and preserva-
ton of our own kind as one, are God d-given.
Should we quarrel with God because He made
us as we are? Then. church dignitaries not
withstanding, there is nothing In the Bible,
nothing in the teachings of Jesus Christ tell
ing us that we must associate with anyone and
everyone. Indeed, we cannot-hfe is not long
enough for that.
The oft quoted phrase "All men are created
equal really has nothing to do with race prob
Ier,s. As . matter Of fact, there were none
when 1t was written. All citizens are equal
in this country. We are just plain Mr.. and
Mrs.-of equal rank-which Is really pretty
important and lot more helpful and useful
than some sort of vague, theoretical equality
that doesn't exist. u. u. ..

Woshinqton-Lee Bicentenory

There Is widespread lnteIeSI Ill VIC
bicentennial celebration begun last week
at Lexington, in the beautiful green nils
of Virginia. Washington and Lee Unlver-
sity is a national institution of learning.
Its influence spreads to the countrys
furthermost boundaries-and beyond. Yet
It ia in the Old Dominion, naturally, that
the two hundredth anniversary OF the
founding of the parent school is most
significant.
Augusta Academy, opened in l74s, was
the original name of the direct ancestor"
of the present center Of learning. It's
sponsor was Robert Alexander, scholar
who remained in charge for eleven years
and then was succeeded by his close asso-
ciate. the Reverend MIR. John Brown.
Patriotism led to the adoption OF the title
of Liberty Hall under William Graham In
1776. A charter from the Legislature en-
powered the faculty to confer degrees In
1882. and twelve candidates were recog-
nized as bachelors of arts at the first
commencement in the autumn OF l785.
A substantial gift from George Wash
ington, dated 1898, was the premier con-
tribution to the academy from outside It's
own circle It led to the adoption OF the
donors name as that Of the future unlver-
Sty. Support thereafter was more easily
obtained. The Virginia Society OF the
Cincinnati bestowed its entire funds upon
the school. Liberty Hall was destroyed by
fire in 1802-its ruins still may be seen on
the campus-but the work was carried on
in rented quarters until Washington Hall,
the middle structure of the present colon
made, was built in 1924. John Robinson,
Colonial soldier, gave the third important
gift
OF course, the War Between the States
interrupted the progress OF the college. It's
students fought with valor for the Stars
and Bars, but after Appomattox Court
House the prospect was dark, indeed.
Then, at the most critical moment, Cen
eral Robert E. Lee was persuaded to accept
the leadership of the entire enterprise,
including money-raising, rebuilding and
refurnishing. His presidency lasted only
y i've years, yet to 1t traces back the pre-
yailing character Of the place. The chapel
where he rests is something more than
church his monument Is something more
than a memorial. Even strangers feel the
strength of the university as they walk
through its grounds.
The bicentenary celebration will give
impetus to the improvement of the phys
ical facilities required for the immediate
future. An auditorium Is wanted as well
as a hall of science. John w. Davis,
chairman of the committee for the cam
paign, has summarized the objective as a
national goal Three million dollars is
sought as "the minimum necessary to
equip Washington and Lee to maintain
its contributions to the type of living

ills Up to the Motorists

The inauspicious debut OF, Washingtons
shuttle bus connected fringe parking lots
naturally is disappointing to those VINO
have pinned their hopes for traffic relief
on this experiment. But supporters OF the
plan should not be too discouraged by the
scarcity of opening day customers. Ex-
perience in other cities has shown that
the idea usually is little slow in catch
ing hold. Once the advantages OF fringe
lots are more widely known, there Is no
reason why the program should not be-
come as popular as it has in other places.
New York City's big lot near La Guardia
Field was sparsely patronized when 1t first
opened Word -of-mouth publicity by shop
pers and office-goers who found relief
from parking and traffic congestion wor-
ries helped to popularize the plan. The
same type of publicity here, augmenting
press and radio reports, is bound to in
crease the number of patrons before long.
The remarks of the first customer at the
lot at Twenty fifth and streets offer
case in point. Mrs. Richard Kett learned
about fringe parking in Michigan, her
former place. of residence. She lost no
time in benefting from Washington's

town district Yesterday she drove her
car to the western lot, parked her car for
twenty-five cents and rode the remainder
of the way to the shopping section on
Capital Transit shuttle bus. No circling
of blocks looking for parking place on or
off the street, no squeezing through down.
town bottlenecks, no tickets for overtime
parking.
When word gets around to more and
more motorists that there is plenty of
parking space at the eastern and western
terminals of the shuttle bus line, the num-
Der of drivers hunting for parking places
in the congested business district should
materially decrease. Any decrease in traffic
in this overloaded area will be blessing
to motorists and business men alike. The
fringe parking program is especially de-
signed to aid shoppers. They should find
it a real boon.
But the plan cannot succeed without
wholehearted support of the public Unless
sufficient motorists make use of the new
facilities, the fringe parking enterprise is
doomed to failure Washington's motorists
have been bowling about the city parking
and traffic troubles for years. Now they
have chance to join in doing something
to alleviate them. From the standpoint
of self-interest, they cannot afford to
neglect this opportunity to give the fringe
parking plan fair test.

She Loves America

The case Of Mrs Louise Bransten Ber-
man, possessor of an inherited fortune
made in America, should provide an inter-
esting study in how our domestic Com
munists win friends and influence people.
This reputedly attractive New York heir
ess has appeared before the House Un-
American Activities Committee in closed
session. Emerging, she refused to answer
questions asked by reporters, but handed
them prepared statement. According to
this document, she loves the United States.
Born of pioneer ancestors, she has been
brought up Ito value the spirit OF Amer
ican Justice and fair play" Rather than
spend her inherited money on yachts and
Jewels she has used it to help other people
secure medical care better housing, better
educational facilities. She has never en-
gagged in any wrongful activity" and she
resents insinuations to the contrary. In
short, Mrs. Berman, according to her pre-
pared statement, has kept faith with the
American tradition and has done her best
to advance the causes that are cherished
by decent people.
What, then, is the explanation of her
behavior before the House committee?
According to one of its members, Repre-
sentative Mcdowell of Pennsylvania, she
would answer only the most inconsequen-
tial questions.
When asked If she had ever engaged in
atomic espionage, she refused to answer
on the ground that she might incriminate
herself. When asked about alleged asso-
ciation with Communists, she refused to
answer on the same ground of possible
self-incrimination. When asked about
gifts of money to the Communists the
answer was the same
What is the truth about this woman?
Of course, if she has engaged in espol-
mage it is easy to understand why she
would seek refuge in the safeguard which
the Constitution raises against self-incrim-
ination. But it is not criminal offense
to associate with Communists or to give them
money Why would not Mrs. Berman
answer such questions as these?
If the inference which might reason
ably be drawn from her refusal to answer
is valid, it may be that this woman Is
ashamed to admit that she has been
fraternizing with the enemies OF the
Nation which she processes to love and

which recommends the use Of whisky in the

Wants Big Families Penalized

The question Of overpopulation today as in
the time Of Nautilus is one of concern to the
intelligent citizen. We have frustrated and de-
featsd Gods will in vanquishing the epidemics
and plaques that were once His instruments Of
dspopuiation. And we have overcome the de-
structivcness Of war by an increased fertility.
1t is obvious that we require more realistic
specific to curb the rising tide Of population.
Let those who will not practice confluence
assume an increased share of the tax burden,
since it is for their offspring that additional
schools, hospitals, jails, asylum and potters
fields inevitably are required. This means a
complete reversal Of the antiquated policy Of
granting tax relief to the recklessly prolific.

Further, they should know that the schools

So the matter resolves itself into the question
Of whether an "unreasonably" short time has
