U. s. Will Seek
 Fish In Boring Sea

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P-The fed eral government is going to hunt for new types of fisheries in the Boring seas this summer for the first time since before the war.
 Milton C. James, acting direc- tor of the fish and Wildlife serv- ice, said today an exploratory fishing vessel will sail from Seat tie Aug. 20.
 The 100-foot motor vessel Washington, taken over from the maritime commission, will carry a crew of 12, including two fish cry engineers and a biologist. James said the vessel will ex- plore the Boring sea south of Nome but will remain on the American side of the information al date line, which separates Alaskan and Siberian waters.
 The research is particularly de- signed, said James, to develop off season fisheries in Southeastern Alaska waters to supplement the salmon and halibut summertime industries.

CA GCA save is defined as an approach made under such conditions that GCA was the pri- mary means of a safe landing).
 The more spectacular of the two saves was effected by the GCA crew of Detachment 157-1 AACS Squadron when It. Paul R. Hardin of the 37th Troop Car rier Squadron, piloting C-82 Packet" aircraft with a crew of five aboard requested GCA as sistance. Due to failure of the air crafts radio equipment, the C-82 could not use the radio range and was unable to receive steers from the Direction Finding DFO facili- ties operated by the AACS al Marks AFB. GCA's radar located the plane thirty (30) miles out and from that point directed it tC a safe landing. At the time GCA 1 came to the pilots aid he had in sufficient fuel aboard to reach an alternate airport and low ceilings and visibility made an unassist-

 The save at Davis AFB, Adak, Alaska occurred when a C-54 with 19 high ranking Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps Officers aboard called for GCA assistance. The plane was enroute from Kodiak to Adak Island when extreme vibration in one engine and a runaway propeller caused the pilot to feather one propeller. The GCA crew of the 13Oth AACS Squadron located the crippled craft and directed it to a safe landing at Davis. Ceiling at the time of the landing was 700 feet-loW for Davis AFB which is surrounded by mountains.

representatives were to meet today
with Alexandra and Braddock Light
& Power Co. officials in an attempt
to iron out differences over the
height Of smokestacks at the power
plant under construction near the
south end of National Airport.
Alexandria Smoke Inspector John
Kelly said the meeting was called
at the request of the CAA.
The city and CAA have been dead
locked for months over the height
of smokestacks at the generating
plant The city code originally re-
quired a minimum height of 284
feet, but the power company was
permitted to reduce this to 1876 feet
after CAA officials protested the
stacks would interfere with takeoffs
and landings at the airport.
Permission was granted for the
lower height after the company
agreed to install special precipitators
to reduce the amount of smoke and
gases escaping from the smokestack.
The CAA subsequently requested
the city to further reduce the height
to 1855 feet, claiming anything higher
than that would substantially reduce
the efficiency Of the airport. The
CAA believes nearly $2,000,000 an
nual revenue would be lost by the
airport If the 195-foot stacks are
