1e49 SKI CHAMP E HERE FOR WEEKEND
 TITLE COMPETITION

Vincent Broze, ace Anchorage ski runner, arrived in Juneau today for the Southeast Alaska Championship ski meet which will be held tomor- row and Sunday on Douglas Island ski slopes.
 Broze, winner of the downhill, slalom and combined awards in last years Southeast Alaska Cham pionship, is considered the man to beat, Juneau Ski Club race officials said.
 Trying for the four-way combined title again this year, Broze will be one of the starters when the four mile cross country jaunt gets under way at II am. tomorrow from the Second Cabin slalom hill.
 Also to see action in cross country will be Bud File Jr.. a country and jumping expert from Peters burg, and Edgar Lokken, of the Juneau Ski Club.
 The action will move to the ridges above Second Cabin tomorrow af- ternoon for the slalom events, which will begin at 1:30 pm. Class A 5un- iors, women and men will run be- tween the flags on the course set by Bill Dean, Juneau High School ski coach.
 Ski Club race officials looked with some apprehension at the clear weather today. Pre-meet inspection of the lower-level ski slopes have indicated that without a rise in temperature those slopes will be unfit for use in racing due to icy conditions.
 Plans have been made to hold the downhill races Sunday at pm. on a mountain behind Third Cabin, three miles from the Douglas High way. But last minute improvement in low-level skiing conditions may mean switch in the site of the speed classic to Crooks Trail. 
 Icy conditions on the lower slopes may also mean the jumping compe- tition will be moved to Third Cabin Sunday afternoon.
 Late today a contingent of skiers from Whitehorse and the Univer- sity of Alaska arrived in Juneau to join the skiers from Ketchikan and Petersburg who were looking over the courses today.
 Dave Hoag Jr., with the Fish and Wildlife Service in Petersburg, will be seen in action in slalom, downhill and jumping competition. Bob Erickson of Petersburg will also race this weekend.
 The Championship meet will end Sunday with banquet at Mikes Place in Douglas. Awards will be made to the winners at that time, Ski Club officials said.

HOTEL JUNEAU
 GIVES $25o TO
 LIBRARY FUND

The Hotel Juneau has given $250 to the drive for the Juneau Mem orial Library construction fund, it was announced today by Dr. James c. Ryan, commissioner of education and acting director of the drive.
 The sum was given by Gordon and Douglas Gray, who operate the establishment, in the name of the Hotel Juneau.
 The figure brings the remaining amount to be obtained down to the milestone" of $7000 or slight ly less, Dr. Ryan said. A total 0. $70,000 is being sought to obtain federal matching funds to erect the S140,0oD structure.
 This means that but 10 percent of the total remains to be obtained.
 While Dr. Bryan has totaled all sums to be given the drive since he took charge of the campaign in the absence of B. Frank Heintz- leman, director, and B. D. Stewart, second-in command, he does not have access to the books, and so cannot be absolutely certain of the exact amount needed to bring the drive to the ground floor.
 The popular little hotel is the first of any in the city to give to the fund, and follows on the heels of several other local busi- ness firms who have recently an- nounced donations or pledges.
 While a great many recent do- nations have come in the form of cash, Dr. Ryan pointed out the sum need not actually be paid for two years. A signed pledge IS the same as money in the bank, he said, so far as actual building of the structure is concerned.
 Stewart, retired commissioner of mines, si expected home from An chorage Monday to take charge of the drive. He went there recently to attend the Fur Rendezvous and .enew old friendships.

the U.S.A. can Wln the pedCel.
 WASHINGTON = Fred Osborn, former U. s. representative on the LIN Atomic Energy Commission, recently predicted that it might take 100 years prodigious effort by the American people to work out a permanent peace.
 In view of the fact that the world fought for solid century during the hundred years war and in the 17th Century went through the spasm of the thirty years war, Osborns estimate may not be too pessimistic.
 But, being a perennial optim- ist, have scaled the time down to 25-50 years. I agree with Osborn, however, that it will require the same kind of hard work our fore fathers put in when they built this country to win the peace against a country which is determined the free world must disappear.
 As stated yesterday, my own ideas of winning the peace are only "gropings," and I make no claim of originality or copyright. They are put forward after talking to many people, including Sumner Welles and Sen. Brien McMahon, who has done more solid thinking about the Russian problem than

GILL NET SIZE (AN(0NTR0L
 SEX OF CATCH
Half : Inch Reduction of Mesh Doubles Take of
 Females, Research Shows

SEATTLE, March l. R Re searchers presented evidence today that changes in the size of gill net mesh in western Alaskas red sal- mon grounds can control to con- siderable degree whether the catch is heavily male or female.
 They reported an increase in the catch of the important gg-bearing females, and decrease in the catch of the larger males, as the size of the mesh was reduced. The report was based on three years of intensive research in the Bristol Bay area.
 Added significance was given to the finding by a report that males are of lesser importance to the species. Tests showed only slight reduction of egg fertility when the sex ratio dropped from male to each female basis to a ratio of one male to Is females. A male covers a lot of spawning ground.
 The figures led Dr. William F. Thompson, Director of the Univer- sity of Washington's Fisheries Re- search Institute, to conclude there is a biological surplus of males, as with the seals in the Pribilofs.''
 The report was being made by pr. Thompson and members of the Bristol Bay research team to re- presentatives of the Alaska Canning industry.
 Field Teams Check
 w. c. Arnold, Managing Direc- tor of the Alaska Salmon Industry Inc, predicted the results of the research would be ito maintain and perhaps increase the opera tions of the major industry. He said it is costing the industry nearly $1,000,OO0.
 The research IS being carried on at Bristol Bay, Kodiak and in southeast Alaska under contracts between the industry and the Uni- versity. A field team of about 25 men each season check the salmon in detail at canneries, make thei1 own tests with varying nets and then migrate upstream with the fish for spawning studies.
 They check sizes, sexes, ages and other details of the salmon and the effects of water and stream condi- tions.
 One of the great remaining mys- teries, pr. Thompson said, is why the returning salmon are larger some years than others.
 Dr. Thompson pointed out that the research is a continuing one, on a wide scale.
 He explained that final conclu- sions will be given in special re- ports which will be approved by the University and discussed by the industry before publication"
 The report of the increased fe- male catch by small mesh was based mainly OH tests at Ekuk.
