U. S. Scientist
Hunts Snail's Foe
To Save Guam Base

WASHINGTON - Somewhere In
the African jungles Is an American
scientist-on a mighty mission. He
is hunting a snail-eater. preferably
a hungry one. II he succeeds he's
to take the animal to Guam by the
fastest route.
This unusual story has come to
light in hearings before a house
subcommittee on the navy appro-
priation bill.
Capt. w. F. Jennings, assistant
chief Of naval operations for island
governments. told the story at Sc
cret hearings.
The japanese are a snail-eating
clan. When they took over Guam
during the war they brought their
snails along. When they quit the
island in the war they left a lot Of
things, including their snails. be-
hind.
The snails started producing by
the millions.
They're about to take over Ahe
island" cried Captain Jennings.
They are "about four to six inches
long and weight about a pound to a
pound and a quarter"
The captain said those snails are
about to eat the navy out Of bust
ness on the island. There are H.
900 arabic acres on Guam; good
for raising corn, potatoes, peas,
melons and sugar-without any
misunderstanding from the snails.
When the situation got out Of
hand the navy yelped for help. Ma
tional Research council and the de-
partment Of agriculture answered.
They started a one-man search for
snail-eaters in Africa. (The offend
ing snail happens to be a giant
African one which the Japs some
how imported.)
Captain Jennings remarked that
we may not be too safe from this
snail in San Diego, Waterloo or
Norfolk.

With LIS Cases Of Whisky

FORT SCOTT, KAS.-There was

The liquor was unloaded and 80

the rear Of the p~ostofice. State
authorities are watching it closely.
The other IS cases are in the post

they'd like to get rid of the liquor.
But so far no one, who might
have an interest in the liquor. had
found any way to move it without
running into the states dry law.

IN MEXICO
Are
Biz Business

MEXICO CITY.-This is a story
Of how a little shrimp got to mar
ket.
1t all started about 20 years ago
when a group of Florida fisher
men visiting the west coast OF
Mexico discovered extensive beds
of big. fat. sweet shrimp in the
blue waters of the Gulf of Cali
fornia.
During those 20 years the shrimp
business on the west coast alone
has grown into a four-million-dol-
lar-a-year business.
AS word spread on the size of
the shrimp beds, japanese fisher
men moved in, obtained conces-
sions, and agreed to show Mex
leans how to catch shrimp. Fisher
men said all they got was a prom
Use.
For 10 years the japanese mo-
nopolized the shrimp beds and OPP
Grated a shuttle service with shrimp
for Japan. Then in 1910 former
President Abelardo L. Rodriguez
told President Manuel Avila Ca
macho the Japanese fishing colon
les on the west coast were fronts
for military camps.
Cancels Concessions.
President Avila Camacho can
celed concessions and Rodriguez
chased the japanese out, after
agreeing to buy 20 boats and start
a Mexican shrimp business.
The shrimp industries thrive
from Guaymas to Mazatlan on the
east coast Of the Gull Of Califor-
mia.
The newly developed green
shrimp (uncooked)" industry has
boosted the market. The current
season is expected to produce more
than IS million pounds Of shrimp.
most of which goes to the U. S.
market.
Rodriguez formed the Compania
Productos Marines de Guaymas,
S. A., capitalized at $500, 900
pesos ($5O0, 00O.) Later he turned
the shrimp industry over to a group
Of c-o-operatives which operate all
along the coast.
Competition Springs Up.
The Compania Productos Mar
mos continues to exist but other
quick freezing plants have sprung
up. Among the most important is
Productos C~ongelados, S. A. at
and Pesquera de Topo-
on the bay Of San Car
los several hundred miles south.
Hundreds of refrigerated rail-
road cars now carry the frozen
shrimp to San Diego. Calf, the
main distribution center.
The headless, veined shrimp froz-
en- in fve-pound blocks and packed
waxed cartons, T shipped in
50-pound containers.
Besides IL to IS million pounds
Of frozen shrimp, about III million
of fresh shrimp packed in
crushed ice cross the border into
he United States.
More than 80, 900 tons Of ice are
Ised each season by the shrimp
boats, plants and railroad cars.
The shrimp industry alone rep
.esents an investment in excess OF

WAY CLEARED FOR
 BUILDING GIANT
 AIRCRAFT CARRIER

WASHINGTON, May l9.-R- House Armed Services Subcommit- tee approved unanimously today a bill clearing the way for the Navy to get started on a giant aircraft carrier.
 Navy authorities say the super carrier, capable of cruising in Arctic waters, would be the largest ship of any type ever built. It would be half again bigger than the Navy's biggest present carriers. Up to four years would be required for it's construction.
 Presumably, big multiple-engine bombers capable of carrying an atomic bomb thousands of miles could take off from its flight deck.
 To clear the way for it's con- struction, the subcommittee recom- mended to the full commmittee that the Navy be allowed to stop work on l3 unfinished ships. This would divert approximately $229.- 000,000 to build the proposed car Tier and vessels designed to launch guided missiles.

MOOSE SHELLAC DOUGLAS SQUAD
 IN SLOW GAME

The Moose Club, current rulers in the Gastineau baseball league, brought in their second win of the season last night when they pound- ed the Douglas squad 80 before slight handful of spectators. Chalking up six errors, the Doug las firemen threatened only once in the game when they had two men on in the fifth, but Krause, the next batter, was thrown out at first to retire the side.
 The best single catch of the day went to Jensen, who took Mo- Clellan's fly ball in. the last of the fourth and nearly took sec tion of the left field fence out when doing so. Although tallying three errors when manning the post, Dotson, newly added short the Douglas squad, was exception ally effective in the game, taking five for put-outs and assisting with four.
 The loss of last nights game put Douglas in a twin spot with the Elks for cellar honors. with the Legion holding down the third place spot.

MISSING SAILOR
 HUNT POSTPONED
 BY BAD WEATHER

Further search for Seaman Ralph E. Mott, 20-year-old missing Ma haffey, Pennsylvania, sailor from the U. S. S. Astoria, was held up today because of poor weather con- dfticns on Mt Juneau. Some search ing will be done, it was revealed, as soon as the weather breaks suf- ficiently to permit better observa- ton and climbing conditions.
 A false alarm, yesterday alter noon, sent Dr. Joseph o. Rude up the hills into Gold Creek Canyon to examine a skinned and mauled car cass which he identified as the re- mains of a deer. It has been dis covered by Riley Furlong and Clyde Turner near the regular Mt. Ju- neau trail.
 It. Comdr E. P. Chester said to- day that three plans remain to be carried out in the search. He said that Freddie Harris, who has been doing most of the climeing, is cer- tain that they have located the area in which the missing sailor might be found. It is a steep, treach- erous portion about 2,500 feet up the side of the mountain and is about a halif mile wide.
 Chester plans to send two search ing parties up the mountain when the weather breaks One will scruti- nize the lower portion of this area and the other will examine the top part. If this fails, says Chester, it would be foolhardy to send any ether parties up the mountain be- cause of the current extreme danger from slides which might cause more than one additional death.
 His third plan will also be put in- to working order as soon as pos sihle and will be continued even should the other fail. Chester figures to station someone on Mt Roberts to conduct a raven watch on the neighboring peak. The ra- ven watch, it is believed, will bring results where otbe- methods sad.

 Slowly, gradually, the San Fran cisco Seals are widening the mar gin of their leadership in the Pac- fife Coast League pennant chase. They whipped Oakland last night, to 2, and today were five full games ahead of Los Angeles. Lefty O'Doul's club won on two home runs, one by Mickey Rocco in the third, the ether by Gene Woodling in the fifth. Both homers landed in the right field stands.
 Los Angeles failed to keep pace by losing to the surging Rainiers of Seattle. The final score was 4 to 3. Lefty Herm Besse hurled a steady game for eight innings. In the ninth, after flaming the first two men to face him, he was touch- ed for a single by Eddie Malone and Pitcher Tom Hafey, recently released by Oakland, went in as pinch hitter and slammed a triple. Bob Hall relieved Besse and famed Eddie Lukon.
 It was the sixth victory in suc- cession for the improving Seattle Club and Besse's fifth straight pitching victory
