Inlet Fishing Cut To AS Hours

ANCHORAGE (Apl - The fish hog ravaging of a Cook Inlet red salmon run resulted Saturday in closing the waters to commercial fishing for an ad- ditional 24 hours this week.
 Clarence Rhode, regional di- rector of the Fish and Wildlife Service, said his emergency cIo- sure means there'l only be 48 hours of fishing allowed this week, on Monday and on Friday.
 He said fhe move was taken in an attempt 10 save the rem nant of big red salmon school which was hard hit by an estimated 700 drift gillnet boais. inc largest fleet ever 10 fish single Alaska area.
 Rhodes closure came as H. J. Emard, Anchorage cannery own CT, resident fishing unions and others urged the F.WS. to ban drift gillnet boats from operat- ing in Cook Inlet.
 In reply to the requests, Rhode said he had no authority to out law completely that specific type of gear.
 He said stream survey of Inlet spawning grounds was "verY poor" He added thar the red salmon pack 10 date already IS greatly in excess Of last year.
 A check of individual drift gillnet boats showed the catch 30 per cent higher per boat than last year. II was reported here that 250,000 reds from Cook In let were packed in Kodiak can nerics as of July Is. last Wednes- day.
 Reports yesterday put est mates of the Cook Inlet take 2, 500,O00 to 750,O0O reds, valued at $1.10 per fish.

Aviufion Safety Discussions
D. M. Gretzer
for The Office of Aviation Safety

me OIIlCe or Avldf1On odIeIY SHORT FIELD PERFORMANCE
 There are many debates about popping" flaps during a take-off from a small field, with two schools of thought:
 1. Wait until ready to leave the ground, then ''pop" the flaps"
 2. Start the take-off run with the flaps set in the proper position for shortest take-off.
 So many variable factors are in- volved, that most discussions wind up in a draw, with each person sticking by his own guns.
 Where does that leave the Sum- day driver?
 Let the experienced pilot stick by his convictions He may be right or wrong, but he knows pretty closely what his airplane will do, with respect to his own pet method.
 The average occasional pilot, or any pilot flying strange air plane should start the take-off run with the flaps preset in best take off position.
 In the case of maximum loads. snow, or water takeoffs, the surf ace friction can be great enough so that the popping off, speed is never reached, yet under the same conditions, the airplane will reach a take-off speed with the flaps pre- set in position. By extension. it seems the chief value of popping the flaps" at the time of leaving the ground lies in the effect the action has on the pilots self esteem in guessing just theright moment to make it work.
 The following advantages apply to preset flaps for take-off:
 l. The pilot does not have to op- crate another gadget at crucial moment during a critical take-off.
 ?. By practice, the pilot will learn the built-in performance of the airplane.
 3. The pilot will have a gradually developing feel of the take-off, and will be better forewarned if the airplane is not about to make it.

A Brand New AnuIe

We thought we'd heard all the stupid and vicious
stereotypes about Negroes. But we were wrong. This lat
est imaginative creation came from a white prisoner of
war. He was on a train in the custody of two armed
guards, who were transferring him from one prison to an
other. Like all depraved characters, this one was cocky
and arrogant; he knew all the answers, Except how to
avoid becoming a POW
After delivering an eloquent speech to his mems
room audience about the general inferiority and unrelia-
bility of all Negroes, this character informed his listeners
that the success of Negro prize fighters was due solely to
the fact that they don't mind getting their faces battered
and Scared because they don't care how they look; and
besides, disfigurements don't show when you have dark
skin! In other words, the white fighters who were knock
ed witless by Joe Louis were probably better fighters than
Joe. They lost because they had more self-respect than he
not because they had less pugiistic ability!
We can only comment that, if this poor fellows
ideas are as crazy in other fields as they are in the field
of race - no wonder they have to keep him behind bars

A More Dangerous Threat!

The Dayton Daily News and the Dayton Journal
Herald make it a practice now and then to EXPOSE in
great detail the activities of certain alleged local Com
munists and Fascists. We agree, of course, that Com
munsm and Fascism constitute twin threats to our demo.
cratic way of life.
But, unlike our larger journalistic ~neighbors, we
believe that racial segregation and discrimination are
as dangerous to our welfare as are Communism and Fas-
cism. In fact, we think they are more dangerous.
Why don't they run a series of factual exposes of
the illegal and vicious racial discrimination that is going
on in Dayton every day.
Why don't they give more space to court cases in
volving denials of the civil rights of Negroes?
Why don't they give as much space to this i'm
portant issue as they have given to the relatively un-
important Harry w. Binegar Ito give but one specific ex-
ample)?
If the larger papers don't know the facts, we'll
be glad to furnish them.
But knowing as we do the superior news-gather-
ing facilities of those papers, we believe that they do know
the truth.

DAYTON Goes in for Brotherhood

We were glad to see in the larger Dayton papers
the extensive publicity that has been given to Judge Ro-

The Dayton Daily Express heartily endorses and
supports all sincere local efforts to achieve Brotherhood.
We need more of it in Dayton than we've ever had so far.
And while we are on our favorite subject, we has
ten to add that we've heard rumors that the long time de-
funct Committee on Race Relations of the Church Fed
GRAFTON is about to become active, with DR.. Frank Slutz
as chairman.
We are eager to endorse and support THIS COM
mittee. And we shall do so just as soon as we are convinc-
ed that it will be made up of citizens who are brother
hoodwinked, that it is going to meet regularly, and that
it intends to work for the abolition of racial segregation
and discrimination in the Gem City.
