Under questioning he ad- ulLusu that under the authority gwen the Service 10 conserve aud protect the fishery OI Alaska, tue government agency could bar any AInu oI gear which Was deJrlment- al 10 the consers aJl0u Ot fish. He .ns.sued. however, that elimination. .yuIeu means barring trap gears Is .p to aclIon by Congress. lie said .uls had been the situation for the past several years, or since the re- .eleHoum ill Alaska which resulted u vote to eliminate traps.
 Buck Passing"
 Asked if the bill for elimination of tIaps had not died in the Dies investigating committee and there fore nothing was being done about Iit, Shuman said that appeared to be tne situation.
 Several fishermen labeled the situation "buck passing"
 After outlining the FWS propos- als for next season (which appear ed in last weeks SentineD, Shu- man opened the meeting to expres- jions from the audience.
 Seiners Ask Longer Season
 Bob Urata, secretary of the sein- CTS, presented a request from his organization for a longer season - from mId-June to early Septembes, wIth fishing limited to three days d week. He urged the abOlishment Jf traps over three-year period, a third each year. He pointed out ,ud, |. of the u yeahs over which ps- IUd trap elimination was pro posed, mad already passed and the ,nre,-year plan would accomplish -.-e same end.
 BhI smith of the ANB seiners -#-oeeatod proposals from his or sanlzatiOn, particularly stressing , od.er control over traps and sug- 7e5Cing extension of the distance between traps to be heightened to possibly two miles. It is now one mile.
 Herring Run Depletion
 Paul Binkley of the United Trol- leds presented the case for the trollers, bringing out the damage done by traps and the falling off in the herring run. He, as well as others, brought out that despite the inability of the herring fishery to reach it's quota for the past seY- eral years, FWS continues to set a quota on herring which is used for meal and other products. Fisher men pointed out that herring is the main source of food for salmon and that in depicting the herring for meal means depicting food for salmon, thus depicting the salmon run.
 Brief By Nov 20
 John Grover, Joe Petticrew, Ed Lowney and others presented sug- gestions, including the matter of closing hours, location of markers, opening of certain bays such as Red and Anita Bays. Briefs are to be presented by various groups They must be in the Juneau office by November 20, Shuman announc- ed.

Judgeships

JuCpcSulpS
 Report this week that Judge George w Folta has been confirm ed by the Sena-e for his second tam as district judge of this diyi- sion will meet with universal ap- proval in Southeast Alaska, and probably throughout the Territory with the exception of few of the Gruening supporters in the Third who tried to throw a monkey wrench in the works. Folta is not only an able jurist but man of impeccable character who gives a. bility and dignity to the bench in Alaska.
 Meanwhile, the vacant judgeship in the Second Division, which Joe Kehoe tossed up to become Secre- tary of Alaska for less money, and the proposed second judgeship in the Third Division were matters of considerable speculation. Attor- ney General J. Gerald Williams is reported to have been proposition ed on the Second Division appoInt- ment and, of course, Ernest Is still looking for a job for former Att torney General Ralph Rivers now practicing law in Fairbanks. When Ralph didn't run for a second term the general idea was that the old post of solicitor for the Interior Department in Alaska could be re- created and Ralph entrenched there. However, the job didn't ma, terialize and Rivers went back to private practice, albeit a bit irked.
 i,'s fai.ly safe bet if any judgeships are being handed a. -olnd the name of Rivers will fig ure prominently for either the See ond O. Third.
 Dope is that Democratic Nation al Committeeman Howard Lyng of Nome is supporting Howard Butch er, Anchorage attorney, for the Second Division post.
 Some weeks ago, before we left Juneau, Gerry Williams was cold on the job in the Second. He sx- pressed a desire to stay in Juneau as Attorney General and thus keep in Ernest's hair. However, a cam paign year is just around the cor ner and anything can happen.
 Is the Honeymoon Over?
 Reports reaching the Periscops are to the effect that all isn't love and kisses in the Alaska Native Service office in Juneau. Roy Per atroyich, a right potent man in Democratic political circles, is re- ported to be out and a little temp est is brewing right back of Dir ector Hugh Wade's broad smile Details, if and when we get them. The Boys Catch On
 One of the early acts of Joe Ke- hoe as Acting Governor was to send out a call for a meeting of the new Board of Administration, created under the reorganization bill. Members outside of Juneau sent word they couldn't or would not attend. This might be explain ed by the fact that due to the de- clared illegality of the law the members cant collect mileage or per diem. Perhaps they get (. 'ttis tired of paying it out of their own

In the escape from Seoul the color

tell this story.
Villagers twenty OK cart miles
apart are strangers and Koreans
are notably uniformed on affairs

They have, however, heard of a
race problem in the United States
and although they see little Jim

themself with Negro soldiers. In
Heunde when a Negro Captain was
promoted to Major the Korean viii

The feeling is not fully recipro-
Gated. Negro GIs feel sorry for
Koreans. One CT said "I'd rather
be poor Negro man in West
Dogpatch, Mississippi than a rich
Korean in Korea" On the other
hand, some Negro GIs say Koreans
remind them a little of stateside
Negro folks.

Rev. B. E. Mitchell, Pastor. The
main feature of the program was
an address by Percy Greene, Edi-
tor and Publisher of the Jackson
Advocate.
In stirring speech, interrupted
time and time again by applause
the Editor pointed to the great
work already done by the NAACP
in advancing the Negro toward
first class Citizenship, and point
ed out the need for the help of the
NAACP in future efforts toward
that goal.
Pointing to Thergood Marshall,
the late DR.. Howard Drew, DR..
Percy Julian, A. Phillip Randolph,
Rep. William L. Donson, Judge
William H. HASTE, Mrs. Mary
Bethune, and DR.. Ralph Bunche, as
representing the only kind of lead
ership now being recognized by
Negroes in the south, the Editor
said it was not a mere accident
that all of them are active and
enthusiastic NAACP supporters.
Pointing out that most of the
outstanding Negro leaders in the
country hold "life membership" in
the NAACP for which they paid
($50G.) Five hundred dollars, the
Editor said there was nothing a
Mississippi Negro could buy for
two dollars equal to an NAACP
Membership.
Music for the program was furn-
ished by the Oak Pork High School
Chorus.
In an election following the pro-
gram, DR.. B. E. Murph, prominent
Dentist, was elected President of
the NAACP Branch to succeed
Rev. r. T. Thomas who rendered
outstanding service as president be-
fore transferring his membership
to Mobile, Alabama where he is
now making his home.

The Koreans are generally bigger

Despite their dislike for, Japa-

The Korean word for Chinese is

Oddly enough their word for

"There are good things about the
Philippians, too. They are general

the fact that most bundles, often
quite heavy loads are carried atop

do.

The ex-Chicago journalist had a
bit of criticism to make about one
thing he noticed. He said:
Rita Haywood and Ally Kahn,
who are on an African safari, are
expected here soon and the police
have started drive to rid the
streets of beggars, thieves and 9TH
er undersirables.
"The plan itself is a good one,
but the reasons for it are sleazy. If
the loiterers are a danger to visit
ing royalty who will be here for
a few days at best and who more
over will have no contact with these
people, then they are greater
menace to those of us who make
the city our home.
"Such a cleanup plan should be
long range affair it seems to me,
and incorporated into the philoso-
ply of good public and police adj
ministration.
But the Philippians are strange

Following the incident he had not
come home.
After he had not been heard
from for several days his wife.
Mrs. Geneva Carter, who was in
Detroit at the time, was notified
of the incident and she returned
home
According to reports, upon her
arrival here several days follow
ing the incident, Mrs. Carter went
to the Rankin County sheriff and
asked that searching party be
sent to look for her husband but
was refused.
She is also reported to have
asked permission from the land
owner to search for the body but
was refused.
When the body was found Tues
day morning however, it was on
the opposite side of the river from
which the incident took place.
The mystery of the death was
further complicated when embalm-
ers at the Peoples Funeral Home
reported that no bullets were
found in the body, nor was there
evidence of beating.
1t was also pointed out that
when the veteran disappeared he
was wearing an expensive pair Of
boots but neither the boots nor
his gun was found with the body.
The incident took place on the
property of State Forester Lig-
gett, and the man who stopped
the three men and fired the shots
at the fleeing veteran is reported
as his son-in-law.
Mr.. Liggett was reported We'd
nesday morning as cooperating in
the investigation in an effort to
solve the mystery.
Funeral arrangements for the
veteran were incomplete early
Wednesday morning.

I don't like to admit this, Eu-
genia. but a great many men
choose a wife not because she is
brilliant, masterful, scholarly, or
a go-getter. but for the very sell
fish reason that she makes them
comfortable!
Maybe that is where you have
miscalculated. meet many
young women who go astray on
that point. A girl thinks some
man should be delighted to sup
port her all the rest of her life
because she has a diploma from
Siwash College. or some such
place. A man asks himself, un-
consciously, Whats in it for
me?" He can't eat the diploma.
I don't mean to say that a girl
who wants to be a good wife
should not have a higher educa-
tion." But she shouldn't let it
become offensive and she should
have a clear idea in her mind
of what men are really seeking
in a wife Sociologist Donald P.
Kent recently questioned SO male
college students about what they
seek in a life partner. He was
interested particularly to learn
whether, as is often stated, men
tend to pick out a wife who re-

the mans image of his mother,
his remembrance of her whether
|or not his memory was accurate)
did have some influence in his
choice of a mate.

English. I'm not proud Of the
fact, and I don't suppose DR.. Kent
is, either. but we're going to tell
