5HRIMpING GOOD
 OFF DOUGLAS E.
 BALTz0 REPORTS

Report of the vessel John N. Cobb, shrimp prospecting in the Juneau area is very promising, As- sistant Regional Director Howard Baltzo said today The vessel has been shrimping off the southern end of Douglas Island.
 Baltzo said several 30 minute drags, in from 40 to 50 fathoms, averaged about $50 pounds of shrimp each of very large sized pinks. He went on to explain that to compare these with commercial drags the catch should be multi piled by six, as the Cobb uses 20-foot beam trawl whereas com. mercial trawl is of about 50 feet The Cobb drags were of about 3( minute duration and commercial drags are generally of an hour o1 more. The drags, made in from 6t to 80 fathoms, produced a fan amount of frying-size side stripes
 However, on the black side, Baltzo said, while the south enc of Douglas Island showed up SC well, drags were made all the way from Aux Bay to Eagle river but each one produced only few pounds of shrimp" He added thai Taku Inlet was especially disap' pointing as the bottom was founc too rough for extensive dragging and the few hauls made were relatively non-productive,
 This week the John N. Copp ls prospecting in the Lynn Canal ano Berners Bay to Haines area ano will probably return to Juneau early next week.
 Baltzo said that as soon as the Cobb's trips are completed full report will be issued by the Flsf and Wildlife Service office on the experiment and copies will be avail ,,nle at the FWS office, whlcf should be in about one month.
 Sheldon Johnson is skipper ol the Cobb and Bob Livingston + fishery engineer in charge.

Bridges
 Monopoly Challenged

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 30-IR-- Harry Bridges monopoly on west coast dock work from San Diego north to Seattle was challenged to- day in contract Isthmian Steam ship Co.,, signed with the new San Francisco local of Joseph Ryans AFL International Longshoremen's Assn.
 The pact was drawn up in what appeared to be an attempt to end the exclusive jurisdiction over dock work claimed since 1884 by Bridges International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union.
 Isthmian only last week hired 53 AFL longshoremen to work its struck ships. Serious waterfront trouble might explode if these men were put to work.
 Isthmian officials would not dis cuss details of the contract, but said "it is better contract than that of the ILWU." Wages and overtime rates, they said, are sim liar to the $197 and $295lk pro- vided in the ILWU's master west coast agreement.

Anchorage Blaze May Have Been 5ei;; Two Lives Are Lost

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 30- Rl-Anchorage fire and police of ficials called in a military arson expert today to determine if Sun day fire which claimed two lives might have been set.
 Noel J. Robinson, 35, bartender, and Renee Lee, g, night club dancer, died in the fire in Olivera's restaurant. The building was des- troyed with loss estimated by fire men at $50,000.
 Robinson occupied one room on the upper floor of the restaurant. Bremen said he died attempting to escape through a narrow window. Fire and smoke apparently cut off the escape route through other rooms which had large windows.
 Miss Lees body was found on the floor in Robinson's room, firemen said.
 Jay Kennedy, 35, owner of the restaurant, jumped 16 feet from his own room on the upper floor and suffered miner injuries and shock.

A-Bomb Test Explosion Causes Brilliant Flash And Mushrooming Cloud

LAS VEGAS. Oct. 3O-sR-A bril- liant flash, followed by mushroom ing cloud which shot up with the speed of a rocket, marked the third of the AEC's current series oi atomic tests today. Despite bright dawn. the flast was visible here, some 75 miles away Throngs of early risers gathered ir knots at every high vantage point to watch.
 Dennis Schieck, photographer foI the Las Vegas Review Normal, had a vantage point in an airplane fly ing over Las Vegas, given special CAA clearance despite general ban on private aircraft within a wide range of the testing ground.
 Schieck said that, from his 7,O00-fOot altitude, he caught a brief glimpse of skyrockcting fireball, quickly blanketed out by cloud which he reported ap- peared to be ce-capped.
 At Henderson. Nev., II miles east of here toward Hoover Dam, houses rattled few minutes after the blast, but residents said there was none of the noise which accom- panied the second in the series last Sunday.
 Schieck said an airplane was wis., ible at high altitude shortly before today's explosion.
 The light itself was white, much like a giant camera flash bulb. There was light purple tinge at the start.
 The mushroom was beautiful thing, observers agreed. The top burgeoned out, at the apex of a towering stem.
 There was no shock felt in Las Vegas within the time limit neces- sary for sound waves normally to travel from the Yucca Flat range more than 75 miles from here.
 That would indicate that 1t was considerably less severe than several during series last February, two of which broke windows in Las Vegas.

Anchorage Union To Appeal Court's 5000 Judgment

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 30- R-A drivers $8,000 court verdict against the Teamsters' Union Local and it's former secretary is appar- ently headed for a higher court.
 Defense Attorney Peter Kala- marides says he plans to file an appeal from the Third District Court jury verdict of last weekend. The deadline for filing does not come until the end of this week.
 The verdict was for Ralph L. Born against the union local 959 and George Cease, the former sec retary and trustee.
 Born alleged that he had been deprived of his livelihood as a truck driver through Ceases arbi- trary action in issuing him with drawal card last September and in refusing later to reinstate him.
 Born sued for $10,000. The jury awarded him $3,O00 actual damages and $5,OOO in punitive damages.
 The defense had contended that Born could have appealed within the union by asking for a union trial of any charges he made against Cease.
 The jury held that the union trial machinery did not actually consti- ute bona fide right of appeal.
 Born testified at the trial that he felt it would be "fruitless" to ask for union trial. He declared such a trial would have been before "stooges that Cease appointed, when Born and another member were busted from the locals gov- erning body.
