RHODES SAYS SALMON
SEASON LOOKS GOOD
% %

JUNEAU Although reports are
not yet complete enough to give
the overall picture of commercial
fishing in Southeast Alaska, num-
Der of excellent runs seem to point
TO a good season, according to
Clarence J. Rhode, Alaska director
of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice.
Salmon fishing in both sections
was opened Modnay at a. m, the
date for northern waters having
been advanced a week because of
general early seeding.
Both seine and trap catches are
fairly strong In Icy Strait. said
Rhode Reports on five seine boats
for Monday and Tuesday showed
an average of more than 1000
fish a day.
More than 100 boats appeared in
the Anan Greek area on opening
day, The catch was there, too; one
packer had delivered 10000 fish
from that area alone.
1T looks like a fairly strong run
in upper Ernest Sound" comment
ed Rhode, as he discussed the eX-
ceptional areas.
Fishing will close Sept. 3, in
Southeast Alaska waters, unless,
according to Rhode, there should
be strong evidence of unusually
good runs, in which case, there
might be an extension.
Air surveys and surface patrols
are being used to observe the runs
in the outside waters of the Sitka
area, where the season is sched-
uled to open Monday.
This was the chief exception to
the early opening in the northern
section and extends roughly from
Cape Spencer to the southern tip
of Baranof Island. It is expected
that seeding will be adequate; II
not, a postponement OF several days
would be announced.
There Is no question of opening
the eastern shore south of Jun
eau" said Rhode. (This extends
approximately from Midway Island
to Petersburg, along the main
land.)
Production there" he said,
where it used to be good. has
been absolutely nothing for the
last three years. Because of deple-
ton, it definitely will remain
closed Chances of its being re-
stocked are good, as there is a
comparatively good showing of fish
over a large drainage"

that Soviet Russia aided the
Chinese Communists.
The fight had reached the i'm.
portant 59-nation Political Com
mittee but time to argue it ano
unroll the Canton governments
evidence still had to be picked.
Debate on placing the Chinese
charges on the agenda was de-
layed by long. wrangling argu-
ment yesterday afternoon about
executions in Greece.
Poland refused to withdraw a
resolution calling for a halt to
the scheduled execution of a
Greek woman named Katherin
Zevgos. Greece disclosed that Mrs.
Zevgos was reprieved two weeks
ago.
Vishinsky Gets Breathing Time.
The Polish resolution was beat
en-, Al to 8. but the long debate
served two purposes. 1t brought
"a full-dress review of charges by
the Russian bloc that Greece op-
pressed her people in civil war.
1t gave Soviet Foreign Minister
Vishinsky breathing spell to
prepare new replies to China s
chargV. which he complained
yesterday were too generalized to
answer.
Lester Pearson of Canada, Po-
litical Committee chairman, an
nounced at the end of the session
that the committee would take
up this morning the old question
of disposing of Italy's prewar
colonies.
But the question of debating the
Chinese charges was a procedural
measure that the Chinese could
bring up any time and they gave
every evidence of eagerness to
push the fight. Mr.. Vishinsky's
principal opposition. after two
futile attempts to keep the ques-
ton out of the United Nations.

On Other Car Makers
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, Sept. 30.-The CIO-
United Auto Workers, assured of
$100 maximum monthly pensions
for Ford workers, focused atten-
ton today on the remainder OF
the auto industry.
Ford agreed yesterday to foot
the bill on all costs of retirement
pensions except those payments
made by workers for Federal Social
Security. Including the Social
Security benefits, a new Ford con-
tract guarantees workers with 80
years service $100 monthly on re-
tirement at the age of IS.
1t was the JAWS first such pen
sion contract in the auto industry.
| Chrysler Corp, another of the
Iindustry's "big three" was the
unions next target.
Negotiations Due Soon.
Walter P. Reuther, UAW presi-
dent, said negotiations to win the
same concessions from Chrysler
would begin very soon."
Actually, intermittent bargain
ing has been under way with
Chrysler for several weeks, but
remained secondary as the UAW
let Ford set the pace.
The UAW has made the same
contract demands on Chrysler as
were originally made on Ford
a $100-monthly pension exclusive
of social security payments, health
benefits and an hourly wage in
crease.
The $100-monthly Ford pension
includes social security.
Pensions Held Wage Issue.
Chrysler, pointing to the fact
that the wage clause is the only
contract section open for discus
sion in 1949. has insisted that pen
sion talks are not in order this
year.
The UAW, however. contends
that pensions are wSge issue. .

ceiving the 500 monthly pension

a beer parlor, involving the with
holding of a beer permit because
Negroes and whites were being

carried into the U. S. District
court in Little Rock last week by

Flowers, who represents Mrs.
Mary Ella Case, owner-operator
of the Castle Drive Inn, Pine
Bluff, petitioned the court to rule
that the revenue commission had
violated the 14th amendment in
denying the woman a liquor licen-
Sc. HHe said the refusal was
based on a belief that if she con-
tinued to serve Negro patrons
some racial disturbance might re-
suit.
Chief of Police Met Gallagher
denied he had complained about
the policy and said he had asked
Morley to approve reinsurance of
the permit. He also said he under
stood other law enforcement Of
ficers in the county had done the
same thing. Gallagher told the
court he had received no COM
plants from white home owners
or patrons of the place concern
ing the serving of Negroes.

white woman, retained Flowers
after several local white attorneys
refused to handle her case. Flow
ers is vice president of the Nation

The case is attracting front
