AREA 2 HALIBUT
 LANDINGS DOWN THIS YEAR

Halibut landings in Area 2 are down about a million pounds this year as compared to last, accord ing to figures received here from the International Fisheries Com mission by Dan Bates, local Fish and Wildlife Service agent.
 Landings from May 1 to IA, in- elusive, for Area ? are 9,476,00O pounds this year; 10,491, 1000 last year. Area 3 showed an increase in the catch with 1,282,000 pounds this year and 2,27O,000 last year.
 agent Bates also announced that
 opfes of the 1949 fisheries regul- ations are now available at the FWS office in the Federal build ing.
 .Ir. Bates reminded fishermen of the law requiring boats to have nanre or number painted on the roof of their cabins for easy Identification from the air. The regulation states that the letters must be at least six inches high, in color contrasting that of the cabin. This applies to all fishing boats except those used solely for halibut fishing.
 It is also required that all fish ing boats, powered or otherwise, register with a Fish and Wildlife Service agent before going fishing and obtain plates. This regulation also excepts halibut fishermen.
 Territorial commercial fishing licenses this year are $5 for resi- dent fishermen and $50 for non- residents.

LIVES OF NATIVES
 THREATENED BY ICE JAM

FAIRBANKS - Some 1S5 na- tives clustered on shrinking point of high ground today as the ice-jammed Yukon river inched up higher about them and flooded Fort Yukon homes.
 Officers of the Army's 10th Res cue Squadron stood by ready to evacuate the refugees should ef- forts fail to blast the stubborn ice jam which was causing flood wat ters to back up for a distance of 40 miles northeast of the village.
 Four twin-engined Mustangs, each with two 500-pound tried to shatter the jam, which formed a. new after being blasted free by air force bombs last night.
 A CAY dropped food and blan- kets to the natives who are en- tirely surrounded by water on their limited, isolated perch which rescue officials feared might be- come inundated.
 Glider or helicopter landings were impossible on the tree-stud- ded crest and rescue by float planes was blocked by ice floes.
 The village radio reported a To- inch drop in the river level fol- lowing last nights bombing. So far, there are no known casualties.
 About half of the town is hud- died on the knoll while others, living on higher levels are mar .ooned in their homes.
 A second bombing squadron is preparing to perform a similar attack" near the mining camp of Ophir where the ice-choked Folger Creek is menacing that area. Fol- ger Creek is an off-shoot of the Innoko river, a tributary of the Yukon. There is no report of the number of persons marooned there.

 Hearing in the test suit |. over nonresident fishermen's licenses fixed at $50 by the last Legisla- ture is scheduled to come up in District Court June 6. The suit is being brought in behalf of several halibut fishermen by A. H. Zeigler, attorney of Ketchikan. The fisher men contend that they do not need a license if they make their catch outside the three-mile limit. The law provides that any buyer of the fish is liable. and the buy CTS in Ketchikan turned down the loads in question, and the boats went on to Prince Rupert to sell.
