INDIANSMAY
 JUMP" FISH
 TRApS,(LAIM
Frances lopinsky Allowed 10 Present Arguments
 on License Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-UR-Al- askan Indians may jump" fish traps if the bill to license traps in Terri torial waters for IS years becomes law, tribal attorney told a Con- gressional Committee today.
 This may be called trap jumping by those who don't like it." said Miss Frances Lopinsky, Counsel for the Southeast Alaska Indians, but whd is doing the jumping7 The Indians were there first"
 Her arguments against the bill were set forth in brief filed with the joint Senate House suhcommit- tee which is considering the legisla- tion. The committee concluded it's hearing last Friday but permitted Miss Lopinsky to come in later with her brief.
 She said big salmon canners had been buying and selling traps for years for $1o,o0o to $loo,oo0 or leas- ing them for as much as s3.50o a year.
 What the operators are buying and selling she said. lis the promise of the last user of the site not to attempt to suse it during the term of the agreement, promise valuable only because all of the big operators have combined to make life miser- able for any newcomer who tries to break into the industry"
 She said the industry ought to be happy with such an arrangement but there was the danger 1t might be interpreted as illegal or some other psrson might get trap site first.
 "As a matter of fact" her brief continued, several Indian groups I represent are planning to set out their own traps this coming season, if this Congress does not prohibit them from setting out traps and , earning their own living" She contended the ioill would grant salmon packers vested rights in the trap sites and bar newcomers from the best fishing.

 Citations which will accompany the medals praise both Munz and Whaley for exceptional daring and pilotage ability" which reflect credit in keeping with the high est traditions of civil aviation in the Territory of Alaska"
