 SAYS FISHERY OFFICIAL

SEATTLE - An official of the U. S. Fish and Wildifle Service told hearing this week that more stringent fishing regulations will be put into effect next year in Southeastern Alaska because oi the recent series of poor runs.
 There just are not enough fish to go around George Kelez Fish cries Supervisor for Alaska told the hearing. "The day is rapidly passing when fisheraan can earn his years livelihood from a few weeks fishing"
 Southeastern Alaska packers backed the Service in its proposal for legislation to change the per sonal use" provision of the regula- tions.
 This provision permits Alaska residents to take fish for their own use at any time. Packers said lab use of this provision is fragrant and untold damage has been done to spawning fish by this abuse" kelez said any svioI. tions have been reported in populous centers, where residents catch and sell fish to markets.
 Packers opposed any change in the regulation which now requires weekend closure of fish traps.

MILL CREEK sAWMILL EXPANDING SAYS V-P
 F. Ii. MITCHELL

F. M. Mitchell. Vice President and Manager of the newly re- organized Alaska Metals and Pow CT Company left for the Seattle of- flee of the company the latter part of last week after spending week in Wrangell checking on the installation of $2S,000 worth of equipment that is going into the Virginia City mill at Mill Creek.
 The new equipment arrived in Wrangell recently and is being transported to Mill Creek as need ed, also the new water turbine power unit, purchased last spring, is being installed.
 Mr. Mitchell said the mill would be cutting between 75 and 90 thousand board feet of lumber per day within a month, running double shift with about 35 men.
 At present the mill is not cut ting for commercial use, but Mr. Mitchell said he expected to be cutting with one shift of men working within ten days He eau tioned, however, that the opera tionsr@gere dependent on the avail ability of labor and logs, both of which he hoped might be obtaineed locally.
 Back Channel Road
 On meeting with the Chamber of Commerce Road Committee Chair man, F. c. Hanford, and other members of the committee. MT. Mitchell strongly urged the Cham Der to keep plugging for a road from Wrangell down the back channel to point oppos- ite Mill Creek and pledged support of his company. This road would put the mill within 20 minutes of town instead of the present long haul by boat around the north end of the island.
 Present plans for the mill also call for construction of a dock that will handle large ships at the mill site.
 MT. Mitchell has been with the company now for about two and one-half months, since the reorgan- ization when he and I. T. Smith, President of the company, purchas- ed control. Jerry Calvin, who is well known here and who helped start the opefation, is no longer associated with the company.
 Smith and Mitchell are both Seattle men and will have an of flee of the company in Seattle with Smith in charge while Nit chell, who will return here in sev- enl weeks, will hande the Wran- gell office. Ray Smith, presently in charge at the mill, will remain in that capacity, the Vice Presi- dent said.

Farmers Party Declines To
Join The Laborite Government

STOCKHOLM - The Farmers
Party declined recently, after four
weeks of negotiations, the invita-
ton extended by Prime Minister
Tage Erlander, leader of the Social
Democratic Labor Party, to join
the Government. Both the Premier
and DR.. Gunnar Hedlund, vice
president of the Farmers Party,
refused to make any comment.
The invitation to join the So
cial-Democrats in a coalition gov
eminent was extended by the
Prime Minister Immediately after
the general elections Of Septem-
Der 10, when the LaboriteS lost
three seats in the Second Chamber
and found it eXpedient to broaden
their parliamentary support. The
Aerarians suggested that all nom
Communist parties should join in
a national government, but this
was not accepted by the Social
Democrats. The Farmers then con-
sidered the invitation to form a
two party government, but in the
last instance could not agree on
the terms.
According to Dagens Nyheter,
leading organ of the Liberal Par
ty, the prices on agricul. ural pro-
ducts are supposed to have been
one of the major stumbling blocks.
The Farmers are reported to have
asked for a certain increase in the
price of milk, which the Social
Democrats refused to grant. The
Farmers are also supposed to have

STOCKHOLM. - A Scandinav-
ian committee was formed in Oslo
October. Is for the purpose of in
vestigating the possibilities for a
defense cooperation among Swe-
den; Denmark, and Norway. The
formation of such committee
was decided upon by the Defense
Ministers of the three countries at
a meeting in Stockholm September
SO, and approved by the respect
i've governments. Called The Scan
dinavian Defense Committee, it
grew out of four hour long dis
cussion by the Scandinavian de-
Tense ministers and their advisers,
and consists of four representa-
tives from each country.
The Danish members are Vice
Admiral A. H. Vedel; Minister
Frants Hvass of the Foreign Of
flee, and two members of Parlia-

hesitated because of their earlier
experience from a coalition with
the same party. This happened
between 1886 and 1889 and result
ed in serious setbacks in the sue
ceeding elections.
The decision of the Farmers not
to be represented in the cabinet
means that the Social-Democrats
will, as before, be alone in the
Government. On the other hand
in the Second Chamber of the
Riksdag, they will be in a minor
ity against the opposition of the
Liberals, the Conservatives, the
Farmers, and the Communists.
