.ChilcO River Power Will Endanger
 Salmon Fisheries

VANCOUVER, B. C., (P)-A re- port by the International Pacific salmon fisheries commission as- serted Monday that proposed hy- dro-electric development on the Chilco River would jeopardize a fishery which the commission said has a potential value of Sl20,000,- 900.
 Power supporters have suggest ed the British Columbia govern ment permit hydro-electric pro- jects on the Chilco system for aluminum-producing purposes.
 The commissions report said the proposed projects were based an "the use of the entire regulated flow for power. On this basis, Chilco sockeye would face extinc- tion."
 The report set the present capi- tai value of the Chilco's sockeye salmon fishery at about $40,000,- 900 and it's potential worth at three times that. The Chilco is part of the Fraser River system.

Salmon Pack Will Be Greatly Cut

BOISE, Idaho, (P)-A Seattle attorney predicted at the western states council yesterday that Alas ka's salmon pack would be re- duced to around 3,750,000 cases this year, compared to an average of near 5,00O,OOO.
 The forecast came from Frank l.. Mecham, member of the law firm representing the Alaska Steamship company.
 Mechem said a study of pros poets for the coming pack indi cated that the number of canner- ies in operation will drop from an annual average of 80 to 60 or less this year.
 He attributed the predicted re- duction to "the most drastic fish ing regulations ever imposed on the industry by the fish and wild life service" and to what he called heavy tax burdens.
 Some of the fishing operators are hesitant about investing new capital in their plants" Mechem said, "because of the shadow cast across Alaska by the activities of the department of the interior in connection with aboriginal rights and the creation of Indian reser- vations pursuant to the alleged authority of the Wheeler Howard Act"

Is Statehood Committee Legal?
(By The Associated PresS)

NDy 1Ilc ffSSOCldlcu
 JUNEAU, P)-A new question has arisen around the appointment of legislators to the new Alaska statehood committee:
 Are they eligible under the or ganic act provision against legisla- tors accepting compensated posi- tions which they created?
 Critics of governor Gruening's appointments to the 11-member committee have raised the issue privately, although there is question as to whether anything will come of it.
 There is no salary for the com mittee members, but the bill ere ating the committee provided they could vote to compensate them selves for time lost from their work or business.
 That section of Senate bill No. 49 reads: Members of the com mittee shall, for time actually spent at meetings and otherwise in performing their duties here under, be entitled to receive trans portation and per diem in lieu of actual expense and such reason able rate of allowance for time lost from other pursuits as the committee, acting by a majority, may authorize"
 Legislators named to the com mittee were Senators Frank Per atrovich, Klawock; Victor River, A horage; Andrew Nerland, Fairbanks, and Howard Lyng, Nome. And Reps. Stanley McCut- cheon, Anchorage; Warren Taylor, Fairbanks; and Percy Ipalook, 1 Wales.
 The committee has the job of charting the way to statehood and presenting it's findings to the con- stitutional convention when it is held.

F. x w. Service Will Sell Ship Washington"

SEATTLE, (P -- The fish. and wildlife service is putting the handsome, steel fishing vessel Washington on the block, and will build a new vessel for Boring Sea fisheries exploratory work.
 Sealed bids for sale of the 92- foot Washington and construction of the new vessel will be received here until 2 p.m., April l, by the U. s. department of interior, fish and wildlife service.
 The new boat will be a 93-foot- CT, with plenty of space for re- search.
 "The Washington is splendid vessel, ideal for tuna," said M. E. Stansby, chemist-in-charge at the Seattle fisheries laboratory, "but she is not suitable for the type Of research we are doing up north"
 The vessel was built two years ago at Astoria, Ore, for the Re construction Finance Corporation and was transferred to the fish and wildlife service last summer, making one trip to the Boring Sea under Capt. Harry Hanson.
 A sister vessel, the California is expected to be offered for public sale in April, Stansby said. Both boats are berthed at Ballard dock.

NLRB Rules Against Tickets

WASHINGTON, (P)-- The na- tional labor relations board ruled yesterday that union violates the Taft-Hartley law ban on second ary boycotts when it has pickets follow the products of a strike bound company to plants of other employers.
 The unanimous decision upset a ruling by a NLRB trial examiner that peaceful picketing, even in a secondary boycott, is protected by the free speech" provisions of the aft-Hartley act.
 In a secondary boycott, a union striking against a company seeks to persuade employees of other companies not to handle the goods produced by the first company. That is outlaWed by the Taft Hartley law.
 Yesterdays ruling involved the AFL printing specialities and pa per converters union local 388 and Sealright Pacific, Ltd, at Los An geles. The company, a manufac- turer of paper food containers and milk bottle caps, brought the charges against the union.

Source of Earth's Magnetism Found

TORONTO, CP)-The source of the earth's magnetism, the thing that makes a compass point north, may have been tracked down in studies by Dr. E. C. Bullard, head of the university of Toronto's de- pertinent of physics.
 He ascribes it to diSintegration of radioactive material in the earth's molten core.
 pr. Bullard's findings were de- scribed in press release from the university. It contained this ex- planatiOn from the scientist:
 Surface of the earth's liquid core is 1900 miles under ground. It is likely that in the core there are small quantities of radioactive material. The slow disintegration of this gives off heat and the heat causes the liquid to boil slightly.
 The radioactive heat produces

Communism Has Fallen Flat ''---Krug

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of the interior Krug said yester- day that communism "has fallen completely flat" in American overseas possessions.
 "Even in Puerto Rico, with its very low income standard and widespread poverty, this is the case" he said.
 Krug appeared on round table radio broadcast with Joseph Sat terthWaite, director of the state departments office of Near East ern and African Affairs; and Francis B. Sayre, American repre- sentative on the United Nations trusteeship council.
 Krug said there is mo evidence" of an active communist movement in Alaska or the Virgin Islands.
 There has been a little talk of a communist group in Hawaii" he added, "but no indication what ever of a dangerous infiltration, or any dent on the loyalty and sta bility of the people,"
 Sayre said that in contrast to this situation in American posses sions the communists are sparing no effort to wreck the constituted authority in Indonesia, Burma and Indo-China.

Johnson Protests Budget Slash For Alaska Railroad
(Contined from Page One)

comotive shop at Anchorage.
 3. Construction of a new store house for mechanical materials and supplies in the Anchorage yards.
 ''These Anchorage projects have not been started, and it looks as though they won't be. Facilities that have geen started in Fair banks will be completed despite the budget cut" he said.
 The possibility of having the proposed power plant imperative for lack of funds also jeopardizes the power generating program for the City of Anchorage. Plans have been going forward for expansion of the Eklutna hydro-electric fla cilities, but it will be sufficient to meet power demands only into the 1950's, it was said. The railroad plant would augment it.
 Johnson said the budget request of 35,00O,000 for the fiscal year 1850 included S1O,OOO,0O0 for buildings and improvements at Anchorage and S1O,000,O00 for other improvements along the line and at Fairbanks. The railroad al- ready has spent $34 100000 on the rehabilitation program and has funds available for an additional $3,OO0 900 in work prior to the fis- cal 1850 appropriations, he said.

Installment Buying Becomes Easier
(By Charles MolonYl

WASHINGTON, P)-Lessening worry about imitation was appar- ent yesterday in the federal re- serve boards decision to make il easier to invest in stocks.
 The board, which controls the volume of money and credit, al- ready had made it easier to buy autos, furniture, etc, on the in stallment plan.
 Then last night, f jecreed that stocks may be bought starting to- day with a cash down payment of 50 per cent as compared to the 7o per cent required for the last two years. The cut is warranted, the board said, by the general c'edit situation"
 The boards order was issued in the wake of a flow of government reports showing employment, pro- duction, prices, bank loans and sales of many goods courslng down together in early 1949.
 Not in four years-since the ap- preaching end of the war made the board in l945 fearful of an in- flationary boom spreading out of the stock markets-had the board made securities-buying credit so liberal.
 Throughout 1116, when ], was sounding the song again5: in.Ia- tionary fires, the board banned the granting of any credit to stock buyers.
 The shift in the boards view on the economic state was under lined by the fact that easier stock margin requirements" were au- thorized on the heels of consumer credit control relaxation March 3.
