NATION NOT HELL BOUND
 SAYS TRUMAN
Uproar Over Spies Part of
 Postwar Hysteria-Dis- < (usses FBl Hoover
By STERLING F. GREEN

WASHINGTON, June l6.-IR- President Truman today described the current uproar over spies as part of a postwar hysteria which will die out as it has after other wars.
 If any members of his own ad- ministration are infected by it, MT. Truman said, he will clean them out.
 But he would not comment at hls news conference on an editorial proposal that a commission be nam ed to investigate the methods and procedures of the FBI and its di- rector, J. Edgar Hoover.
 No Hoover Resignation
 He stated flatly. however that Hoover has not submitted his resig- nation. This was in reply to ques- tions about a published report of quarrel between the FBI boss and Attorney General Tom Clark.
 When asked whether Hoover has his confidence. MT. Truman replied that MT. Hoover has done a good job.
 And when asked whether he thought Hoover could be included in those denounced by MT. Truman last week for headline hunting, the President invited reporters to make their own estimates of the situation.
 lss More Comment Withheld
 Neither would he comment on whether 1t would be good idea to clear Federal files of what report CT called 'unsubstantiated" reports
 The question obviously referred to reports of anonymous informants to the FBI which have been read in the Judith Coplon espionage trial. These reports. still unevalu- ated by the FBI, named many prominent persons as Communists.
 As for the subject of spies, he in- vited reporters to read the history of the alien and sedition laws of the l79O's, following the revolution ary war. You'll be surprised at the parallel, he said.
 That hysteria finally died out and the country did not go to hell.
 Not Go To He'll
 So will this hysteria, and the country will not go to hell.
 The spy discussion took up most of the news conference but the Presi- dent also had this to say on other matters.
 Declared the Grammar farm plan will be passed by the present Con- gress. Reports from the Demo- cratic farm meeting at Des Moines, limiting that it might be good poli- tical strategy to delay action until 1850, definitely are not Administra- tion policy, he emphasized. |.

WASHINGTON-B-36 Showdown While Congress has been inves- tigating possible finagling on B-36 contracts, the inside fact is that Consolidated vultee has been forced to curtail production of the giant bomber-because. of prolonged strike in one key plant.
 The strike is at Bendix, South Bend Ind. which supplies vital air- plane parts throughout the indus try. Effect of the strike has been so severe that the Air Force is run ming short of spare parts for some of its most effective squadrons and may be forced to cut down on flying time.
 Meanwhile, the FBI is checking reports that strike leaders are Con- munists, infiltrating into this key industry because of it's power to paralyze the Air Force.

New Report on Resources of Alaska Gives Possibilities Of
  Increase in Fishing Industry
By vERN HAUGHLAND

WASHINGTON, June IS TT tR Salmon heads are tasty and ought to be canned instead of thrown away, Bureau of Reclamation report on Alaska said today. Most of the canned heads would have to be exported to foreign countries. however. the report con- ceded. Immense quantities are dis carded in Alaska each year.
 "Squeamishness is felt in most sections of the United States re- earding use of fish heads the re- port explained.
 The report, perhaps the most comprehensive study of Alaskan resources yet published, suggested that Alaska's fishing industry might also develop markets for caviar, octopus tenacles-"they arc exceptionally tasty"-seawood and canned fish balls of salmon, founder and black cod.
 New methods. new products, new fisheries and new areas hold promise of boosting the value ot Alaskas fisheries far beyond it's present s115.000,000 annual mark, C, eating additional employment as well as more permanent employ ment for thousands of Alaskans. ' the report said.
 Tt is true there is little likel- i hood the canned salmon pack, the 1 fisheries largest industry, will in- 1 crease.
 However, the majority of for mulas now used by the industry in canning salmon are not only ar- chaic but also unreasonably waste- ful.
 Part of the waste material would he suitable for canning of fish chowder, and much of the remain der for badly-needed fertilizers for farm use. Dried meal is rich source of nitrogen and phosphor- ous two clements most essential ], for growing Alaska crops. i Tt has been estimated that there are sufficient vitamin A units in fish waste material to supply one tenth of the present United States requirements, and enough vitamin D units to supply one-twentieth.
 Tn addition, oil extracted from this waste has considerable con- mercial value in manufacture ot paints and varnishes, tanning processes, oilcloths and linoleum.
 Experiments indicate the waste when ground and frozen, makes an excellent animal feed for fur farms.
 Fish eggs-the roe of salmon, rock cod, gray cod and herring now have little commercial value These items would find lucrative caviar market in the Eastern l United States.
 Salmon roe makes an excellent caviar and although good reports were received on the few shipments which have been made, this phase of the industry has never been fully developed.
 opportunity also exists in the salmon egg field for preparation of bait for sport fishermen"
 "Trawling, just coming into prominence in the Pacific. may be one of the major, if not the major fishing industry in Alaska waters ir the future the report said.
 "The Boring Sea has been described as the largest trawlable body of water in the world. The Gulf of Alaska has barely been touched.
 Tt has been estimated that 1000, COG, 900 pounds of fish per year could Ice trawled from the North Pacific"
