Fishery Officials
 Ceiling Data on |Laie Pink Runs

On an aerial survey of late pink salmon escapements in the Icy and Chatham Straits districts, Richard Shuman, fisheries management su- pervisor and Gus Hilsinger, agent for the Fish and Wildlife Service left Juneau this morning.
 The service officials seek first hand information prior to meet ing scheduled tomorrow afternoon at o'clock in the Fish and Wild life Service office, concerning ex- tension of the present salmon sea- son.
 The season was scheduled to close Sept. 1, but c. Howard Baltzo, assistant regional direc- tor, said numerous requests have been made for an extension. All persons interested in extending, or not extending the season are invited to attend tomorrow's meeting.
 Some fishermen are against ex- tending the season, Baltzo said.
 Opinion seems to shape up on the traditional lines with troll lers and gillnetters against an extension and packers for it," he said. He added that the seiners are about evenly divided on the matter.
 This has been an unusual year. Baltzo stated. "The quality of this years pinks, and the steadiness of the run probably will produce one of the best quality packs of can- ned salmon in the history of the Territory" He said the fish have been unusually bright and large in size and the run has been consist entiy large in volume.
