PRESIDENT. CLAY CONFER ON bL0CKAD|
Radio Beacon Ships Out al Sea Envisioned;p Plans Made
 Al Air Navigation Meeting

SEATTLE. July 22-IP-A string of radio beacon ships which would re stationed hundreds of miles at sea and plug present gaps in com munications was envisioned today at the North Pacific Air Navigation meeting
 Such fleet of ships, carrying the latest radio, radar, weather ob- serving and rescue devices was rec commended by the metting's com mittee on communications.
 The local conference, which has drawn delegations from several coun- tries, is studying methods of improv- ing air navigation facilities between the North American Continent and the Orient.
 The Communications Committee made a preliminary recommendation for at least two ocean station vessels (OVS's) to be stationed permanently in the Gulf of Alaska.
 The committee asks for at least two OVS's between Shemya, at the end of the Aleutian chain, and Tokyo and Honolulu.
 The primary purpose of the OVS's would be to send out radio beacons on which navigators could obtain fixes.
 The Conference Committee on search and rescue also made a strong recommendation for establishment of the vessels. P. K. Van, Chairman of the Committee, said the vessels would be 700 miles or more from nearest land bases.

 H0LDUp OF STORE

MARTINEZ, Calf, July 22.- Fl saw other kids with money and I didn't see why I shouldn't have some, too.'

 She was very nice woman She used to give me comic books and soda pop
 Tommy wore a red shirt anc blue jeans and tied a handker. chief over his face, his statemen said, and continued.
 As Mrs. Ebling answered hi knock, Tommy said, Stick 'em up This is a holdup"

TO INCREASE FISHING LAW
 ENFORCEMENT
Albert M. Day, He ad of Fish, Wi|dIife Service
 Is Here on Visit

A small army of U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service Agents will patrol Alaska this year to protect the Ter ritory's natural resources, it was said today by Albert M. Day, Chief of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Ser vice, who arrived in Juneau yester- day on a one month tour of the Territory.
 The army, said Day, won't be large enough however to fully pro- tect fisheries and game from illegal activities. The force will still be far from adequate, he declared, but it is step in the right direction
 This year the service will use nine
 large vessels, several smaller boats, 3l outboard motor boats and 10 air
 planes to patrol Alaska's coastal waters in efforts to protect fish and game. Sixty temporary sum- mer employees have been added to the staff as well as the loan of four top F&WS Agents from the States for the summer.
 The outboard motorboats will he equipped with B h.p. motors de- signed for speeds up to 25 miles per hour and a range of 40 miles from their bases.
 Cause of the extra enforcement activity, said Day, is the receipt o1 , increased appropriations from Con- gress this year. He said that the Territory has never before had such large amount of enforcement fa- cilities. He explained that additional funds were necessary, however, be- cause of the poor pink salmon run in Southeast Alaska due to over fish, ing and lack of proper enforcement. The increase affected only fish cries with only small sum for game
 work, said Day, who expressed his belief that Congress had been more liberal than previously but hoped
 that next year Congress will be even more generous.
 Day declared "Alaska's fisheries resources are too valuable for the government to neglect" He said that enforcement must be increased again next year and that the recent re- organization of the Alaska Region
 was aimed at this work.
 The top F&WS executive explained that British Columbia spends ESQ., coo more annually on fisheries en- forcement than is spent on Alaska although the Territory has five times the amount of shore line and more than half again the value of its fish pack
 Day has held his present job for two years. He has teen with the Service since 1929. He will leave Ju- Ineau this weekend with Clarence Rhode, Regional F&WS Director, for
 Anchorage and proceed, from there
 to the Pribilof Islands to inspect
 the fur seal industry. Rhode will go
 to Bristol Bay and meet Day there The two men will return here at the end of the Bristol fishing sea- |son.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
Copyright, l948, by The Bell Syndicate,
 Incl

WASHINGTON Herbert Bay ard Swope, editor of the old New York World, has some hackhanded advice for Dixie Democrats who consider bolting Truman in the Electoral College.
 Swope, chosen for the Electoral College from New York in 1886, tells how the electors met in a lavishly draped room, reminiscent of early Grecian meeting places Each elector had an embossed and engraved ballot to be deposited in a Grecian urn. An air of great solemnity pervaded the gathering
 In the middle of this impressive ceremony, Swope suddenly turned to Democratic Governor Herbert Lehman.
 T think I'll use this opportunity to go down in history" he re- marked. "Ill cast my vote for Herbert Hoover It has never hap pened before. If I do it here my place will be secure in the his tory books"
 The humorless Lehman nearly tainted. Reckoning to Ed Flynn, then Secretary of State of New York and head of the New York electors, he warned:
 Ed, Swope here is about to do something terrible. You have got to prevent it at all costs He is going to cast his vote for Hoover. '
 Who is to say that I cant?" re- piled Swope, basking gayly in the pleasure oI the prospect of making history. What law will I be defy ing? Am I not duly elected elector? It is my right as a duly elected elector to vote as I see fit

British Not Backing Down on Request 10 Lift Ber-
 lin StrangIehoId
(By The Associated Press

British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin told Parliament today that Britain will not back down on de- mands for lifting the Berlin block ade as preliminary to Four Power talks on Germany.
 A British official had said earl fer the three Western Powers have agreed tentatively to widen nego- tiations with Russia to include sev- eral other German problems.
 Bevin told the House of Com mons Tt is impossible for a self respecting government to sit down and discuss these things when your troops are cut off from normal communications and 2,500,000 peo- pie are being used to put pressure upon you to come to a decision"
 LONDON-Th U. S, France and Britain had under study a new note of protest they will send to the Kremlin demanding anew that the blockade be lifted. It probably will not be sent until France gets new government.
 BERLIN The American and British ferry service to Berlin kept increasing. The Communist news papers of Berlin campaigned to force the anti-Communist German city government of Berlin to agree to Soviet ecollcomics control of the whole city through two year plan.
