$, TERRITORY HEADS PROPOSE
 SHIP MEASURE

With Lew William, Acting Gov ernoro of Alaska, presiding, repre- sentatives of the Alaska Steamship Company and of the Territory, held meetings Tuesday and yesterday.
 These were for the purpose of agreeing on provisions of legislation to be introduced in Congress au- thorizing the United States Mari time Commission to allocate govern ment-owned freighting vessels 10 common carriers in Alaska service at a nominal charter hire, such legislation to be patterned after the so-called interim plan which recently expired. ....-
 Since the Alaska Steamship Com pay has been paying the govern ment full charter hire for vessels used, it has incurred ar operating deficit.
 Free use of government ships, with marine insurance borne by the government, would amount to in- direct subsidy to the Alaska trade of about $2,00O,00O a year, and en- able holding the line on freight rates, with the possibility of grad ual reductions on northbound freight.
 Commenting on the meetings. At torney General Ralph J. Rivers re- ports the conversations as satisfac- tory and that, in all likelihood, the Territory will support the desired legislation as being for the interests of all concerned.
 At the meeting the Alaska Steam ship Company was presented by Gilbert w. Skinner, president; Stanley Long, attorney, of the firm of Bogle, Bogle and Gates; and D. s. Duryea. company representative from Ketchikan.
 Representing the Territory were Attorney General Rivers, George Sundborg, consultant, Alaska De- velopment Board, and J. Gerald Williams, Attorney General-elect.

PRESIDENT TALKS OUT
 ON ISSUES
Anti-Infldtion Program Is Not SheIved : Gives
 Newsmen His Views
Bv D. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON, March 3l-lR-- President Truman said today a prospective federal deficit on June 30 is a far more serious threat to the nations economy than his pro- posed s4,0O0,000.G0o tax increase.
 He told news conference he did not agree with Senator George (D- Ga) that the tax increase, as a reporter put it, is the only thing that would get the country into a serious depression. George is wrong, he said.
 The president also denied that his anti-inflation program or any part of it has been shelved as some published reports said He said the mere fact that he had requested standby price and wage control powers and other steps has been the main reason for the temporary heading off of imitation. s
 He added that those powers are just as necessary now as when he made the recommendation Exist ing powers have been used in the public interest and the new ones would be used the same way, he added.
 The president said he certainly will recommend extension of in- stallment buying curbs beyond June. He made this statement in reply to question whether the Federal Reserve Board is consider ing further relaxation of present regulations.
 MT. Truman emphatically op- posed any cut in the $5,580, ,000, ,000 the administration wants to carry on Marshall Plan aid to Europe.
 Asked about the 10 percent re- duction urged by Senators Taft R-O) and Russell (D-Ga), he said the sum should not be cut at all. He added the total requested was based on the best possible informa- tion and is needed to run the plan through the next fiscal year.
 Mir Truman also predicted the Senate would ratify the North At lantic Defense pact. A reporter quoted a report that Taft is op- posed to it and thinks a majority of the Senate will be. The presi- dent said he had no way of telling what Taft thinks, hut Le believes the Senator is wrong.

FISH TRAP ABOLITION
 REQUESTED
1 m m ediate Action Is Demanded at Hearing-
 Limit Other Gear

WASHINGTON, March 2l-lR- Immediate abolition of fish traps and limiting of certain other fish ..lg gear in Alaska to build up sal mon runs was advocated today by the chairman of the Alaska Fish cries board.
 Ira Rothwell, Cordova mayor and toard chairman, testified before a House Fisheries subcommittee on the bill to abolish fish traps over a 10-year-period.
 There is no such thing as orderly transition for an industry in as desperate situation as the Alaska fish industry" he said.
 T would advocate the immediate abolition of fish traps, shortening of nets and other steps for the period necessary to build up the salmon runs"
 Rothwell disagreed with the sub- stitute measure proposed by the Interior department for the bill sponsored by Delegate E. l.. (Bob) Bartlett. The department bill would set up control of fishing gear on all kinds of vessels as well as abolish the traps. It would provide a licensing system for fishermen.
 OPPOSES LICENSING
 We are opposed to licensing proposals" Rothwell said. We be- lieve it would give Alaskans com- plete monopoly of fishing in Alaska. We do not want that. We want every one to have the right to fish for a living
 Rothwell said that in the Bristol Bay area the permit system would give packers now operating there a monopoly. This Is true, he said, because under Fish and Wildlife Service regulations only sail toats can operate in Bristol Bay and fishing is done by two men to a boat, who work on a share basis
 
 with packers.
 Newcomers can not enter the in- dustry in the area because fisher men cannot afford to purchase sail boats, he said.
 Bartlett told the committee that Alaskans had voted overwhelmingly to abolish fish traps.
 Seaton Thompson of the Fish and Wildlife Service said that Alaska fish traps represent an ln- vestment of approximately $6,00O,- 0O0 Bartlett said that previous testimony has been to the effect that owners have more than gotten their investments back.
 The hearing was recessed until Saturday to give Alaskans an op- portunity to appear at tomorrow's hearing by the Senate Interior committee on the nomination of Governor Gruening for another term.
