PROTECT SALMON BEFORE BUILDING
 DAMS-FISHERIES

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 13.-R- Safeguards for salmon runs must precede erection of additional big dams on west coast rivers
 That was the demand of the Pa cific Marine Fisheries Commission which met here yesterday.
 A resolution pointed out that the commission was not opposed to dams, but wanted assurance-be- forehand-that salmon runs would be protected. Particular concern was expressed over power proposals for British Columbia's Fraser River
 The commission also suggested a survey by the three west coast states to determine the number of salmon caught by sports fishermen.
 Alvin Anderson, Bellingham, was elected chairman.

MAN WITH FROZEN FEET FOUND NEAR
 SUNKEN VESSEL

BULLETIN Merca do was brought in from Tee Harbor tnls afternoon and taken to St. Ann's hospital where Dr. J. O. Rude made an examination and pronounced both of Mercados feet badly frosted. Mercado had been in a cabin seven days before found by Manery.
 Search parties combing the shore in the vicinity of St. James Bay today found a man suffering from frozen feet on the beach at Boat Harbor, a few miles north of St. James Bay on Lynn Canal.
 Coast Guard Headquarters here said the man is believed to be D. B. Mercado, owner of the troller SlA464. A small boat was found on the beach at Boat Harbor bearing those numbers.
 A search on the St. James Bay area was begun after B. H. Manery Of Juneau discovered the trolling poles of sunken fishing vessel showing above the water at the northeast end of the hay Sunday.
 The injured man was being brought to Tee Harbor by the Coast Guard cutter 83524 this afternoon. A Coast Guard chief pharmacist mate was sent to Tee Harbor to meet the cutter and bring the man lo Juneau after administering first aid.
 Coast Guard spokesmen said to- day that the cutter White Holly is at St. James Bay, preparing to send down diver to make a positive identification of the sunken craft and possibly to prepare to raise it.
 Whereabouts of the crew of the sunken troller is not known, and search parties continued to cover the area today.
 A report from Seminal Island light station yesterday to Coast Guard headquarters here said that a fire had been seen in the vicinity of St. James Bay Saturday.
 Manery reported Sunday that a skiff with an outboard motor on its stern was seen under the water attached to the sunken fishing vessel by painter.

.L0ST GIRLS
 TRACKS SPUR
 RUGGED HUNT.

KELSO, Wash, Dec. 13- R = Fresh, faltering tracks today spur red 500 searchers in the hunt for Ruth Aberle, 16-year-old Girl Scout, missing two days. 1
 Sheriff's Deputy Costa Watts re- ported this morning on his return from the rugged, rain-sodden search area six miles northeast of here that three men had found compara- lively fresh tracks about midnight. They appeared to be only four to six hours old, he said.
 Sheriff c. w. Reynolds recruited fresh hunting parties at dawn to speed the task.
 Watts said the fresh tracks were picked up only mile and a half from where the girl disappeared Sunday. Whoever made them was faltering," he said, "as there were spots where the person stumbled and fell in crossing over logs and through the heavy underbrush. :"
 The region is overgrown with vines, brush and dripping ever greens. A snow blanket gives slip pery footing.
 There are numerous beaver dams in the marshy area into which the tracks led, Watts said, creating ap- prehension should they be those of the missing High School girl. Woodsmen had thought it unlikely she could have survived the first night when the thermometer drop ped below freezing. It was close to freezing last night.

western Europe. They envisioned
further taxation running into
billions of dollars. However, that
phase of the question was
smoothed over by DIR. Norse's
suggestion.
He recommended that the
money used to rearm Europe be
taken out of the large appropria-
tons that will be made for the
armed services in the United
States. He points out that rearm-
ing western Europe would not
only protect that area from posi-
BILE Russian aggression but would
also provide initial protection for
the United States.
DR.. Morse maintained that,
should war with Russia come,
the weapons of war supplied by
the armed forces of the United
States would be used against an
enemy of this country, as wen as
an enemy of the nations that
form the alliance.
He said that money saved in
reducing services at home could
be used for rearming other ma
tions in the alliance that would
be nearer the potential enemy.

who handled her fan and her
hands generally with remarkable
grace. Carleen Moore, Deloris
Lesley, Ynlapda Harris, Patricia

little Beverly Maloney all gave
excellent performances of intri-
cate and imaginative solo num-
bers. The Corps de ballet was UNI
usually well trained as could be
seen from their work in the bal
let in Blue and Gold, the Ballet
of the Roses and the Spirit of the
Flame, featuring Julie, Stone.
Gail Wallaee's ballet work is
superb and her deftness and ex-
cellent timing approached that of
her teacher as could be seen in
the Ballet Parisenne in which she
accompanied Miss Betty, and in
Eulogy in Black.
Gerry Finders Tapsters were
all trim and merry and every
one of them excellent in the
Waltz Clog. Even a photograph
ers flash bulb flashing in their
faces could throw them off their
excellent timing.
The Scottish Lassies in their
Highland costumes were a great
success and would surely have
come back for an encore if time
had permitted.
Little Beverly Maloney who
has an unusual looselimbed re-
laxedness, and who would make
a wonderful comedy dancer, was
particularly enjoyed in her COM
edy acrobatic number, Pussycat

gave excellent performances in

Pupils OF Simpson Dance School
GiUe Excellent account OF Themselves
In Recital At Convent Auditorium

Those who attended the Sirnp-
son Dance School recital at the
New Convent Auditorium had an
interesting and rewarding expe-
rience. All the children were a
JOY to watch even if some were
more definitely talented than
others. Pupils all showed wonder
full training and reflected much
credit on the Simpson School and
its excellent teachers, Betty and
Bob Simpson and Gerald Finder.
What's more enjoyed their own
performance as much as the audi
ence. The costumes were out
standing, both as to design and
execution and definitely equal
led the highest professional
standards.
Everyone was impressed with
the excellent facilities of the
new Convent Auditorium. 1t
seats seven hundred and all six
hundred of the orchestra seats
were filled and the little meg
canine was about .one-third filled.
The seats and aisles are not only
roomy but spacious, and the stage
of good size. All in all, it was a
most fortunate choice for truly
excellent performance.
The program opened with all
the Simpsonettes and Simpson
GERS in attractive black or black
and white practice costumes, and
all the pupils were put through
their PAGES by their teachers Bet
ty and Bob Simpson. Gerald Pin
der announced and introduced
the numbers.
AS was to be expected, the be-
ginners class, looking like little
angels of from three to five years
old, in their Empire dresses of
lowered organize, brought down
the house in the way they execu-
ted the Varsovienne.
