Furs Struggled To Europe By Air
 Force During War

WASHINGTON, (P)-The fish and wildlife service has said U. s. | airforce personnel smuggled furS from Alaska to Europe during World War II.
 The agency made the disclo- sure in announcing that the sea otters of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands have done so well, under 40 years of government protec- ton, that they soon may be trans planted to other Alaskan and Aleutian areas.
 "This increase was in spite of the fact that many soldiers sta toned in the AleutianS took a fancy at "potting' sea otters," the announcement said.
 Some of the men tried to take home sea otter souvenirs still worth several hundred dollars each in some of hte worlds mar kets-but fish and wildlife game management agents discouraged the practice.
 Finally, the killing of sea ot- ters by soldiers and the smuggling of pelts to Europe by pilots was stopped by the army's co-opera- tion."
 A service spokesman added that the airmen flew the pelts from Alaska to Colorado, where they were loaded aboard planes being ferried to England. He said he did mot know how extensive the prac- tice was.
 The sea otter population now is estimated at 5000, with the largest number on Amchitka (about 4,O0O with the rest scat tered in small groups along other islands and coastal areas.
 When funds for winter-trap ping of animals become available, the agency said, the otters will be transplanted in small colonies on

Seek To Halt Russian Crab Meat Importation

(CH) Special Washington Scrvice)
 ASH INGTON, (P) - Rep Mack R.-WashD told the House last week that import of canned Russian crab meat will wreck the Pacific Coast crab industry unless they are stopped
 He said in a statement for the Congressional Record, that l5,OOO cases of Russian crab meat, worth half a million dollars, were brought into Seattle last week.
 This crab meat was caught by Russians in Russian waters, by Russian workers and was canned by Russian workers" Mack said. If the importations continue, and there is every reason to believe it will continue under our free trade practices, our Pacific Coast crab industry will be knocked into a cooked hat"
 Mack recalled that prior to Pearl Harbor Japan furnished 85 per cent of the crab meat sold in this country. Since the war, he said, the Japanese fishing waters have been turned over to the Rus SianS.
 American crab fishermen can not compete with the low wages and the low standard of living of Russia" Mack continued.
