TOTEM

standable agreement on the can
didates they are going to support
in the coming Congressional Elec-
tons. Most of the discussions cen
TERED around the determination
on the part of organized labor to
defeat Senator Taft of Ohio.
Representing the International
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
tiers were Mrs. Totten, and Theo-
dore E. Brown, Research Director
who argued that it would be ri
diculous for the conference to 90
on record as having ignored the
fact that in the State of Ohio most
especially, the colored vote repre-
sents the balance of power. They
both took the position that merely
to go to the colored voters of the
nation and ask them to defeat the
enemies of labor because of the
1aIL-f1artley Act would not Suf-
flee. It was therefore recommend
ed by them that the conference
include in its resolution the defeat
OF all Senators and Congressman
subject to election this year who
oppose the F.E.P.C. and Civil
Rights Bill and who are the same
men responsible for the passabe
of the Taft Hartley Act.
The points stressed by the two
Brotherhood officials were re-
ceived and President Green o fthe
American Federation of Labor
agreed>it be included in the reso-
luton which passed the house
unanimously.

NEW YORK

NEW YORK -. Y
Governor of New York for four
successive terms knows Totten
very well because he has been ac-
tive in the numerous campaigns
for his reelection to office and
made several radio speeches at
the time that he ran for office as
Senator.
Both MI. Davidson and Mr.. Da-
Wis spoke of the very fine demon
stration and rally held for Cover
nor de Castro in New York and
expressed their high admiration
of the Virgin Islanders on the
mainland who continue their eff
forts to be helpful to the Islands
and their people.
The officials expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the
work of the AVICA and promised
to appear before Virgin Islanders
in New York whenever the oppor
tunity presents itself.

BRISTOL BAY NET
 INCREASE SCORED
 BY FISHERY MEET

A joint meeting of the Alaska
 Fisheries Department, Experimental
 Fisheries Laboratory, Fish and
 Wildlife Service and the Alaska Development Board was held here yesterday. A discussion took place
 aimed to avoid any overlapping of
 activities and to promote coopera-
 tion among all the agencies.
 Clarence Rhode, regional director
 for the FWS, discussed the fishery
 situation in Bristol Bay. An ann
 endment to the regulations limits
 set net sites there to an area with in 150 yards of mean high tide.
 This has caused a protest from residents.
 This lis urgently needed to pre- vent blocking off large river areas
 on the flats" Rhode explained.
 The new regulation" Rhode said,
 would reduce effectiveness of about 60 sites. The expected poor run in That region has caused a re- duction in drift gill net boats by a recommended 120 boats, thereby eliminating 240 nonresident fish ermen. A check of protests show
 most complaints come from new set locators, not the old timers.
 Set nets have increased from 116 in 1946 to 265 in 1949 in the face
 of a declining fishery"
 The Alaska Department of Fish cries Board agreed that the regu-
 lation should be kept in effect If
 the packers will agree to employ
 resident fishermen in drift gill net
 boats. It has been reported that packers are favorable to this ar- rangement. The Bristol Bay red salmon fishery is in great danger of extinction unless measures are taken.
 The various agencies reported their work in regard to Alaska fisheries in exploratory work. pub licity, development of utilization of fish products.
 Those fin attendance were mem- bers of the board: Chairman How ard Wakefield, Kodiak; William Walton, Sitka; Ira Rothwell, Cor dova; Karl Brundstedt, Kodiak; and Jake Valentine of Ketchikan; Director K. Anderson; assistant di- rector Lewis McDonald; George Sundborg of the Alaska Develop ment Board; Rhode, Dan Ralston i and Doug Swanson of FWS; Harris w. Magnuson, Norman Wigutoff and John Dassow of the experi- mental laboratory at Ketchikan.

FISH, ESPECIALLY
 SARDINE5, WILL BE
 PUMPED FROM SEA

ROCKLAND, Me, April l9-lRt- Is there no end to this mechani- zation of the fishing industry? Now they're going to pump sar- dine herring right out of the sea Centrifugal pumps through which tie small fish can pass without damage are not new. They've been used for some time for discharging herring at dockside.
 Now the pumps are going to sea
 Several sardine carriers are fit- ting out with pumps here this spring. The pumps will be used to load the herring into the carriers either from weirs or purse seines
 This means an end to a danger ous, backhreaking job that long has been the bane of fishermen and carrier crewmen Balancing in 8 dory while taking in the slack of a big purse seine full of fish is no picnic.
 Roy Wallace, who is installing the pumps here, says that they will take about 10 percent fish and 90 percent water into the carriers.
 That brings up the question Why doesn't all that water and fish sink the carrier?
 It would if the water weren't div erted back into the ocean.
 From the pump the fish pour out onto a grid of wooden slats. The water passes through the slats and a porous bag before draining overheard.
 In the turbulence of the pumping the the fish lose most of their scales and the porous bag catches these valuable scales, which are used in the pearl essence industry.

Denies Shift Of
Burea S Stand
On Farm Plan

John w. Sims, executive secre-
tary, today denied reports that
the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
has changed its stand on farm
program.
There is no foundation to the
recent radio and press statements
| that we have shifted our position
on farm plans" Sims declared.
Naturally, we have been dis
turbed about the bitter controver-
sy which now is raging. We fear
that decisions might be made on
the basis of partisan politics, ra-
ther than on the merits of the var
ious farm proposals." Sims point
ed out.
On March Is, the board Of
trustees of the Ohio farm feder-
alton moved to take the issue of
farm program back to its $1,000
members. In SO doing, a list OF
principles on which farm plan
could be written was submitted
to the Ohio farmers for further
discussion and action.
Some observers saw in this
