PRO AND CON ON FISH TRAPS AIRED,
 OPEN FORUM HERE

Fish traps. pro and con, was the
 question up for discussion at public hearing held last night in
 the auditorium of the grade school | building. An audience of more
 than 150 persons went to hear John
 Wiese of Anchorage. representative of the Western Alaska Fisheries | Council and Marcus F. Jersen of
 Douglas, present the case for the
 abolition of fish traps.
 Mrs. Milford Johnson, public ity chairman of the League of Wo- men Voters, in the abSenSe of rep
 resentatives of the opposition pre-
 sented to the audience the text | of a series of advertisements pub
 Eshed in local papers during the | past several weeks.

 Taxpayers Association as follows: Territorial Taxpayers Associa- tion had planned having Emory

 on the position of the Association. D Jensen Gives Views
 1 Asking voters to check an x in favor of abolition of traps in the October l2 election, MT. Jensen I told listeners:
 There has never been such a golden opportunity for small :! group to move into such a large i potential wealth as the ocean off,
 CTS and pay so little for raw ma-
 terial. I should say that it has
 heen certain form of greed that
 now puts in the position of linn
 tied fish supply, and practical ex-
 tinction of some species"
 Alaska has been bled dry by a 1 few non-residents who have made
 so much and given so little that i today we are faced with small
 percentage of raw material and a
 treasury that is broke" Jensen added.
 The Salmon industry has pro- duced a billion and half dollars
 worth over 35 years and has paid
 one and one-half percent for the privilege of setting up large can- neries that have paid no property
 tax, no Territorial income tax, and
 have depleted the run of salmon
 so that now we have only half of 1 this small revenue coming from the pack"
 ] Replying to trap operators claims
 that many men are employed dur ing the year maintaining and l building traps, Jensen said that it I can be proven that during the | last five years there has been

practically no new floating traps made. and only minor repairs ts those on the list.
 Suggesting that fish traps are maintained in violation of the White Fisheries Act which says there shall be no special privileges of fishing in Alaskan waters, Jen- sen asked if fishing with traps were not a special privilege, how then do trap-owners explain thai trap sites have been sold for from $25,0OO to $100,000
 Wicse Talks
 John Wiese of the Western Alaska Fisheries Council gave three req sons for abolition of traps: for conservation of salmon runs, for equity and justice for all fisher men, and for building stable fish ing industry to operate for all of Alaska and all of its people.
 Only a few privileged people have the advantage of taking fish by the carload from traps placed in strategic places to intercept the salmon on their unvaried runs from ocean pastures to streams, Wiese told the audience.
 Not enough spawn is getting into the creeks with trap after trap along the shore line" Wiese said. Continued brailing lets few salmon through the traps to the streams.
 Tn Puget Sound where trap fish ing was abolished in 1884, the salmon pack is on slow increase In Alaska waters just the oppo- site is occurring. with slow de- cline in pack over the past 1( yearcc"
 Questions came at tie speakers hot and heavy when 45-minute open forum was called for by Mod orator Mrs. Mildred Hermann.
 Such questions as Could seiners produce enough fish to keep can neries going?"; What is the legal status of traps?";; 'Is abolishment of traps return to horse ano buggy days?" kept Speakers Jen- sen and Wiese on their feet giv- ing answers.
 The question: Are other fish than salmon being destroyed by traps?" brought a lively debate Wiese cited that tons of small fish taken in traps are thrown over board.

Find 287 Wartime
I'm Committees
Still Operating

WASHINGTON (LPA)-The
old argument about whether
most of the labor-management
plant committees organized dur
ing the war were a gesture"
or genuine cooperative endea-
Vors is renewed as a result Of
a survey of the fate of about
5000 such committees, results
of which are published this
week.
During the war, under the
encouragement of the War Pro-
duction Board, more than 5000
such committees were formed,
Early this year, 5000 plants
where such committees were
operating during the war were
surveyed by the Burea of La.
Dor Statistics.
There are still 287 such COM
mittees functioning, according
to reports received from 944
plants. Of these, 223 are in
unionized establishments, and
81 in non-union plants. Another
