If Would Have Been a Good Story if

It would have been a good story if it had been true.
 The rumor that an 80-pound king salmon had been caught Tn the Salmon Derby area early tais week is false, according to checks made.
 The tale was brightly embell- ished with had l6 derby hooks in it's mouth" sold to a tourist for $1 per pound" and caught by 12-year-old boy"
 The Juneau Cold Storage Co. has no knowledge of any such fish being brought in. William Passey, foreman there, said that a 60-pound king had been brought in by fisherman from Hoonah and that might possibly have started the story.

Reds Hold 10 38th Parallel Demand
By ROBERT B. TucKMAN


 U. N. ADVANCE HEADQUAR- TIERS, Korea, Aug. 4-tR-The Red truce team told Allied negotiators in Kaesong today it was standing pat on it's demand for a cease-fire buf- fer zone along the 38th parallel.
 Ut. Gen. Nam Il. chief Red dele gate, said the Reds could not de- part in any particular from that stand
 In Tokyo, press release issued by the civil information and edu- cation division of Allied headquar- ters said the Allies want the de- militarizcd zone located between the Yalu river on the Manchurian border and the present battle lines.
 It was the first official an- nouncement that the JUN. wanted the cease-fire line north of pre- sent battle lines.
 The release came as surprise. and there was no immediate com- ment by officials either here or in Tokyo.
 Why This Agency?
 Nor was there any explanation of why such release was issued by the civil information and education division. It usually concerns itself with picturing the American way of life to the Japanese.
 Earlier today, the same section issued another release blaming Russian intrigue for the Korean war, and declaring that the Krem- lin wanted China weakened be- cause the Soviets fear such a strong neighbor on her borders.
 An hour after that statement was released. the section asked that It be withheld because of typographical errors. It was already in print and had been broadcast. The withhold request was dropped.
 Later It. Col. Donald R. Nugent, Marine officer who heads the sec tion. told newsmen the request was made because the statement was intended for background material for. editors. not for publication,
 The second statement, dealing with the JUN. demand on a buffer zone, was issued under the title Background material on the estab- lishment of demilitarized zone.' Presumably it had full official ap- proval prior to its release. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway, Supreme Allied Commander. to- night made a hurried trip from his home to his headquarters in the Dai Ichi building.
 He still was there three hours later. Whether his trip had any thing to do with the statement was not immediately known.
 Not Informed
 Apparently the LIN. truce team at this headquarters was not in- formed that the statement was being released
 In fact, an Allied spokesman told reporters trying to draw him out on the subject-before the statement was issued-"I believe 1t would pc seriously in error and the widest sort of speculation if you attempt to draw this line in the vast area between the present (battle) lines and the Yalu river"
 Today's talks in Kaesong ended with an official report of NO prog ress." Nuckols said the true teams were as far apart on the buffer zone problem as they were when they first began discussing it. That was July 27.
 The 20th session is scheduled to- morrow at II am. 6 pm, today Juneau time).

p(rashes Bring Death To Two

SEATTLE, Aug. 4, -tH1-MdrlHe mishaps that plagued the Pacific Coast today brought death to at least two persons.
 At least one small craft was sunk, four more damaged, and an- other may have sunk, in a series of accidents from British Colum- bia to Mexico.
 In addition, the Coast Guard at Seattle reported it had received a distress call from an unidenti- fled vessel in Southeastern flask an waters early today. The vessel reported it was seven miles off the Coronados Islands, but failed to identify itself, the Coast Guard reported.
 (Note: The 17th District head quarters office of the Coast Guard in Juneau believed the vessel off the southern Coronados, because the area in Southeastern Alaska waters is dotted with well-known points and bays which the ship would normally have referred to, rather than giving it's position seven miles from the small is lands. This position would have placed it among familiar land- marks.)
 The area was blanketed thor oughly by a search plane, the Coast Guard said, with numerous fishingS vessels sighted but no sign of distress.
 Meanwhile, the Coast Guard at aat Los Angeles reported the fishing vessel Sea Wolf sank five miles off the South Coronados Islands, off the Mexican coast about 50 miles south of the United States border
 The Los Angeles Coast Guard said it was possible that due to freak atmospheric conditions, this might be the report of the sinking picked up at Seattle.
 Two Dead A.
 Two ship collisions in British Columbia and Washington waters claimed two lives, heavily damaged a tanker and freighter and sent a tug to the bottom.
 One man was killed when the tanker Tullahoma and the freight CT P & T Adventure collided off the northwest tip of Washington state. Both vessels were severely damaged but neither was repor- ted in a sinking condition,
 FOss Tug Down
 Another man was missing after the collision of two tugs in bad weather off the British Columbia coast
 The 97-foot Andrew FOss tug went down after the collision with the tug .MacLoufay. Eight members of the nine man crew were saved and taken aboard the MacLOufay.
 The tanker involved in the col lision in Washington waters is owned by the Keystone Shipping Company of San Francisco. the freighter by Pope and Talbot Company, Seattle.
 One boat sank in Mexican wa ters and another got under way with an escort after reporting in a sinking condition, the Coast Guard said.
 Meager information available indicated no one was lost.
 The radio reports said the Sea Wolf sank five miles from the south Coronados Islands.
 The Sea Wolf first reported it was sinking, then that it had sunk with only the mast above water but the three persons aboard were taken off by fish, ing boat and were heading for San Diego.
 Another report came from the fishing boat Seven Seas, first re- ported it was sinking, in the same general area about 35 miles due south of the Coronados Is- lands. Later she reported that damage had been repaired and another fishing boat, the Puget Sound, was escorting her. also, to San Diego.

Commission. The Dollar group de-
clares it turned over the stock
merely as a pledge for loans from
the Government. The Government
claims the stock was surrendered
outright. The controversy got into
the courts in 1945, when the Dol
lar group sued for return OF the
stock.
Stock Not Endorsed.
The Court Of Appeals panel,
consisting of Judges Bennett
Champ Clark, E. Barrett Pretty
man and Wilbur K. Miller, last
March ordered Secretary Sawyer
to turn over the stock certificates
to the Dollar representatives.
Mr.. Sawyer did so but did not
indorse the certificates. They were
not accepted at the company elec-
tion meeting. and the Dollar group
complained it was denied "effec-
tive possession" and control.
The Appeals Court, early last
month, ordered Secretary Sawyer
and others to show cause why they
should not be held in contempt.
After several continuances and
submission of further arguments
by the Justice Department. the
Appeals Court last week formally
held the defendants in contempt
and set the deadline for tomorrow.

Sawyer Wins Respite
From Threat OF Jail
On Vinson' S Order

Secretary Of Commerce Sawyer
and eight others who faced pos
sible Imprisonment tomorrow
under a Court of Appeals con-
tempt order enjoyed a further
respite today because of action
by Chief Justice Vinson.
The Chief Justice late yesterday
granted a last-minute stay, asked
by Attorney General McGrath.
This halts proceedings against
the defendants, including several
high-ranking Government off,
cials, until the Supreme Court
decides whether to review their
appeal from the contempt Of court
order.
Court officials indicated that
the review petition might not be
acted on until fall. Justice De-
partment spokesmen said they
would file the formal petition in
the near future. we'll within the
9O-day time limit. But the high
court plans to end its current term
Monday or June 4.
Chief Justice Vinson, in a short
memorandum, stated that he
granted the Governments re-
quest for a stay because there is
Ia direct conflict between orders
issued by the Court of Appeals lin
Washington) and the District
Court in San Francisco"
Tenth Defendant Excused.
The appeals court last Friday
found Secretary Sawyer. Solicitor
General Philip B. Perlman, AS
sistant Attorney General Peyton
Ford and others guilty of con-
tempt for failure to give the
r. Stanley Dollar shipping inter-
ests effective possession of 80 per
cent of the stock in the American
President Lines.
The nine were directed to ap-
pear before the three-judge panel
at 3 pm. tomorrow to tell whether
they complied with the order to
turn over the stock. The appeals
court declared they would have to
obey that order or go to Jail until
they did. A tenth defendant citec
for contempt was excused this
week because he has left the Gov.
ernment service.
If the high court at its session
next week or thereafter denies
the review petition. the Court OF
Appeals presumably would invoke
it's contempt proceedings imme-
diately.

Court was anothe-: petition by the

Hugh Johnson Leaves For Extended Trip
 In Conod0 end States

Hugh Johnson was leapfrog- ging his way through several Bri- tish Columbia communities this week as he started on an exten- ded plane trip which will keep him away from his desk at the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station building for most of the summer.
 Primary purpose of the trip is an investigation of marketing conditions in isolated areas. A comparison of findings from such areas in Western Canada and some of the Lake states with with those of similar areas in Alaska may possibly assist in stabilizing the economy of agri- cultural areas in Alaska that are remote from large markets. MT. Johnson will talk with persons concerned with such problems in British Columbia, Ontario, Mani toba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and other areas of Northwest Canada.
 Sandwiched in with his study of isolated areas will be contacts with marketing specialists in Pacific Coast states. He will also take in the Western Farm Eco monies conference in Reno, Ne vada, and the American Farm Economics Association meeting at Guelph, Ontario.
