ANT|M0NY NEED
 OF U. S. INDUSTRY
 FOR DEFENSE WORK

With defense production mach inery moving into high gear, acute shortages of antimony are being experienced by U. s. industry which is looking to Alaska as a potential source of supply of the metal, it is reported by the Alaska Develop ment Board.
 A number of large antimony us- CTS have written the Development Board during recent weeks regard ing the availability of antimony ore in the Territory. Demand and current premium prices should stipulate antimony production in the Territory, the Board believes.
 One large mining and smelling company is interested in obtaining an antimony property in Alaska which it can develop for its own use.
 Anthony is one of the strategic and critical minerals for a supply of which the U. s. must depend upon foreign countries in large measure. Imports provide 92 per- cert of current annual needs.
 Operators interested in disposing of their properties or in furnish- ing antimony ore, should forward details to the ADB, Box 50, Ju- neau. The Board will arrange to have claim holders contacted dir ect by interested parties.

 INSURANCE TAX
 DUEBY APRIL B
ffS s.ss

Emplovmerif security Officials are cautionD 5 employ CTS that the unemployment insurance tax on their workers is due this month. ]. If reports are not filed by April 30 a penalty attaches to the amount due, according to R. E, Sheldon, executive director of the employment security commission.
 Some employers are under the
 impression that the reports and
 the tax payment are not due be- cause of the court case recently
 decided in Juneau" Sheldon said.
 They are reminded that on March
 l4 Judge George w. Folta signed
 an order directing the commission to hold certain funds in special account, but he also ordered en- ployers to continue to pay contri- buttons due on their pay rolls pending out come of the appeal filed by the commission to the U. s. Court of Appeals in San Fran cisco.'
 The litigation grew out of the determination of the commission that experience rating credits were not due employers for the period July l, 1850 through June 30, 1851. These credits would apply against the tax falling due during that period. New England Fish Company and Wards Cove Packing Company the commissions inter- pretation. Judge Folta decided in favor of the plaintiffs on January 18 and the commission has appealed this decision. H. L. Faulkner of Banfield and Boochever, Juneau, is attorney for the plain tiffs and Attorney General J. Ger aid Williams and Assistant Attor- ney John H. Dimond are represent ing the commission. A date for the hearing of the appeal has not been set.

all-out war with Russia, it also said there would not be another Pearl Harbor' up north if present alertness is maintained. M
 The biggest needs in Alaska. the committee said, are additional facilities not only for personnel but more housing for dependents and other requirements-such as roads, heating plants, storage fa- cilities and the like-fpr a balan- ced defense program.
 The dispatch didn't report the committee as saying anything hinged on whether the territory becomes a state, despite what some of cur colleagues haze been insist ing.
 As we view it, then, the job to do is the building of the necessary physical properties after careful evaluation by the military of what is really needed in Alaska for it's defense-and ours.
 "'The matter of statehood, we take it, still resolves itself solely around the question of whether that vast and underpopulated area is ready for the grave responsibil- ities-financial and otherwise which go with statehood.
 Frankly, we doubt if Stalin would inquire about statehood for Alaska before sending his bombers that way. It will be the state of the military defenses there which will deter him"

Fortieth of a Series END OF A FISHERY?


 Word comes from Puget Sound that the famed codfish schooner c. A. Thayer will not go to Bering Sea this season but will remain anchored at Poulsbo.
 She may come north again next season, or the season after, but if she does not it will perhaps be the end of one of Alaska's oldest fish, cries. For the Bering Sea and North Pacific salt cod fishery dates clear lack to the days when Russia owned Alaska.
 The three -maSted c. A. Thayer is the last of long line of schooners, brigs and barkentines that, in the past three-quarters of a century, hauled heavy fares of fat Alaska eod to Puget Sound and San Fran cisco Bay.
 They were, to name only a few )f the ones best known, the Fly ng Mist, Wild Gazelle, Dashing Wave, Constitution, John Hancock, rropic Bird, Jane A. Falkenburg, Arago, City of Papeete, Maid of Or cans, Fanny Dutard, Wawona and Sophie Christensen.
 The first vessel to visit Boring Sea for cod was the little Alert, jack in 166i. That first venture vas a financial fa',ure. but other md larger vessels made paying ,odfish trips in subsequent years.
 The importance of the new fish, ny was one of the factors consid- ered by Congress in appropriating ,unds for the purchase Of Alaska n 1867 That year there were three American schooners fishing around he Shumagin Islands.
 By 1870 this fleet had increased 70 10, and at the peak of the fish cry, along about 1906 and 1907 there were 20 vessels and half a dczen or more shore stations, all busy salting Alaska codfish for American and foreign markets.
 Shore stations were operated at Sand Point, Pirate Cove, Unga, squaw Harbor, Kelleys Rock, San- corn Harbor, Eagle Harbor and Snug Harbor in the Shumagin Is- lands and at Company Harbor and Nelson Island in the Sannak Is- lands, as we'll as at various places along the Alaska Peninsula.
 Since that time the fishery has gradually declined, although at the oeginning of World War II three large schooners were still fishing eod in Bering Sea and a few shore stations still operated in the Shu- nagins.
 The decline has been due only in part to depletion of the cod. Main y 1t was caused by the fact that the American housewife has swift ched from salted to fresh, frozen or canned sea foods.

 The following is an editorial from she Bfemerton Sun and was not luoted in the recent publication of the Alaska Statehood Commit ee:
 Some brethren in the daily newspaper field have been getting IS mighty confused about whether Uncle Sans defenses in Alaska are worth anything. We were somewhat relieved, then, to note a report rom Washington, D. C., the other day which quoted senate com nlttee as crediting the military department with a realistic plan or Alaskan defenses.
