US. Checks Up on I una
Off New England Coast
Federal Agency Ship Explores
Area With Eye to Business
By Thomus R. Henry

One Of the worlds great tuna fisheries
may be found in the Atlantic of the New
England coast.
A Fish and Wildlife Service ship, the
Western Explorer, now Is making an in
tensive survey Of the area to determine
how abundant is this important COM
mercial fish in that area. On board is
a staff Of scientists. The ship is manned
both by Gloucester fishermen and men
experienced in Pacific Coast tuna fish
ing. 1t Is equipped with 28,000-pound
purse seine net which literally bags"
the tuna down to depths of nearly 200
feet.
Average IS to 30 Pounds.
Since about July / It has made a
catch Of more than II tons. The fish
average from Is to 80 pounds, the ideal
canning size.
It has been known for many years
that there were numerous so-called
"blue-fin" tuna in this part of the sea.
But it has been chiefly sports" fish.
Only specimens caught by accident in
connection with the Maine sardine fish,
cries have been commercially utilized.
An important economic problem is in
volved, for the development of an ex-
tensive fishery would give work during
the winter to the Sardine fishers as well
as contribute materially to the country's
food resources.
Member of Mackerel Family.
The tuna Is member of the mackerel
family. Relatively little is known Of its
habits, especially in the Atlantic. It is
a migrating fish but the circuit it
follows is essentially unknown. Appar-
emily it migrates from the south. 1t is
known that the fish shows up near the
Bahamas and off the Florida coast some
months before it appears in New Eng
land waters. There it is first observed in
June. It remains until October.
The winter home is as yet unknown.
There is a possibility that it is some
where in the central Atlantic-that the
apparent southern exodus in spring is
an illusion, so far as the main school is
concerned.
Chief Fisheries.
The chief fisheries now known are off
the Galapagos Islands. off the Pacific
coast of Mexico and in the Mediter-
ranean. japanese fishermen long have
exploited the western Pacific.
Some of the North Atlantic tunas.
sport fishing has shown, reach enormous
sizes. Weights up to 1000 pounds have
been reported. Such monsters, however,
are of little value for canning They
tend to be solitary, and seldom would
be caught in nets. The ideal size is
under 100 pounds.

Understandable, but Premature

The decision of the Citizens Committee for
Good Government to launch an immediate
campaign for charter form of government in
Prince Georges County is understandable, in view
of neighboring Montgomery County's success
with the system. But the drive seems bit
premature when it is considered that a COM
prehensive, technical survey Of the county gov
ernment is being conducted for the purpose
of deciding on specific reforms. In fact the
Citizens Committee was prime mover In the
survey plan, on the theory that no reform could
be adopted intelligently without thorough study
in advance of the county's governmental prob
lens and needs.
The movement for a charter system of home
rule has been growing in Prince Georges County
ever since Montgomery created its own council
under authority of the State constitution. The
Citizens Committee, representing leading Prince
Georges civic groups, has advocated home rule, as
q general principle, from its start as joint
civic front. Until now, however the organization
has refrained from espousng any particular
sort of home rule. Instead the committee has
worked vigorously and effectively for govern
mental survey, as a prerequisite to any basic
changes in county rule Civic groups criticized
the Sothoron Act changes as cart-before- the
horse reorganization, insisting that the survey
of needs should come first.
It is true that in committing itself to the
charter movement the Citizens Committee has
not specified what kind of home rule should
be adopted under charter. That decision,
under Marylaad constitution, rests with charter
board, which ,arst must be set up under Authority

Many thousand ex-prisoners Of

benefits to which they are en-
titled unless they file application

Claims Commission has announced
The Commission said some 3d.
600 veterans who were held as
prisoners of war during World
War II - or their survivors -
may be eligible for the payments,
but the application must be filed
before the March 1 deadline, or
they may lose it.
The March 1 deadline was set
by law, and it would take another
law by Congress to extend that
deadline.
A widow of a former prisoner
of war is eligible, even if she has
remarked, it was emphasized by
the War Claims Commission. Sur
vivors are eligible Whether the
serviceman died while a prisoner

Baha'is Observe
Brotherhood Week

Baha'is observation of Brother
hood week, highlighting the theme
World Religion - the source of
Brotherhood" was held Sunday
evening at Assembly Hall, 1888
West Van Buren. At that time,
Mrs. Hazel Hooker of Phoenix
spoke on "The Brotherhood of
Man and the Law of Justice"
without a change of heart and
conscious acceptance of the prin-
ciple of unity and brotherhood"
Mrs. Hooker said, "the supreme
effort to build a world society
cannot achieve results. The need
cf the hour is dedication to world
peace and brotherhood by indi-
vidual men and Wamen. The ma
ture man or woman has learned
that no individual can succeed in
avoiding personal responsibility
for contributing to the ethical
solution of vital problems"
More than 80 years ago." Mrs.
Hooker pointed out, BAHIA u'llah,
the founder of the Bahai World
Faith, called for the union and
equality of all the worlds peoples
in one universal cause, one COM
mon faith in God. He taught that
the fundamental purpose of re-
ligion is to promote unity, broth
erhood, justice and peace"
Today, in 100 countries of the
world, Baha'is are working for
the spiritual and social unity Of
all mankind. In their ranks are
people who once were different"
in their racial, religious and ma
tionalistic backgrounds. They have
found in the Baha'i Faith a basis
of unity and brotherly love which
makes the competition of religious
sects seem completely unimpor-
tant. With a higher loyalty to
God and all humankind = Baha'i
communities have no color line"
no prejudice, no segregation of
any kind. Bahai communities are
a way of saying that the past,
with it's local hatreds, regional
prejudices and internati tional dis
trust, is gone.

Letter 10 the Editor


To the Editor,
Arizona Sun:
It's amusing how some people
react sometimes, makes mirror
which gives you a view right in
the middle of a hidden purpose.
If some of the ones who op-
pose the governors signature on
the Welfare Bill, were so inter-
ested in the old people, it seems
tc me they would have done some
thing long time ago to keep fear
and hunger from the old peoples
door.
There has been a time when
the old people didn't know whether
they would get check or not, and
sometimes the check didn't come.
If this bill does all 1 understand
it will, it won't be only to the best
interest of the taxpayers, but to
the old people as we'll. They won't
have to worry, afraid their checks
won't come, and those who are
eligible will get their full amount.
We all know there has been a lot
of the taxpayers money spent to
get the chiselers off the O.A.A.,
and I din't understand how they
got on there in the first place, if
properly Investigated.
Opposition to the governors sig
nature on the Welfare Bill, from
some sources, are only trying to
make a mountain out of mole
nil.
The Adage: "a drowning man
will grab at a straw" is so true.
I wonder if this opposition comes
from a real interest in the old
people, or could it be, they are
proud of chance (they think to
make red hot issue for the 1852
campaign?

BROTHER ERHOOD

This is Brotherhood Week. With each passing year,
accomplishments of Negroes in their striving to achieve
universal brotherhood become and evident.
democracy will continue to and mature and be the
kind of dealogy intended to be. We constantly
confronted with challenges which must not only be met
but With alert, thinking and working lead
ership this can be done.
This leadership will have to be courageous enough to
fight intolerance prejudice and other forms of bgotry
will have work hard to have the dignity of each
son the world respected. 1t will have to fight for the
elimination of segregation which produces secondcass
citizenship. 1t must demand the integraon of human
resources regardless of race color, creed national
origins This must be done in order that Americans
may fight communism by putting into practice prin-
ciples of democracy
The practice of universal brotherhood implies that
refrain from the Uncle Tom tactics. For example, will
not embrace the hisis-not time theory such as OUR
Negro legislators preaching at the present We must
give Tamadge to continue his Hitlersm by
pointing out that Negro leaders themselves believe that
segregation should not be eliminated and that full ntegra
tion should not be attempted at this time We realize that
the opinions of these legislators not the opinion of the
majority of Negroes in Arizona However, citizens of
other communities might take for granted that they do
represent the thinking of Arizona Negroes The confession
of of the legislators that their constituents do not
respect them bespeaks lack of confidence in their egs
lator.
Lastly must dedicate lives for the improve
ment of human brotherhood and understanding. May
God give us the will and power to do these things.

They work like real banks, too. You

Calling letters from home "the

he declared:
Il don't believe many of our
churches and many of the people
Iof our parishes. outside of the
immediate families, are awake to
the crying need of pastoral care,
OF understanding that we appre-
ciate the tremendous sacrifice
many Of them are making"
The public. Bishop Sheriff. as
serted, doesn't have the same in
terest and concern for men in
uniform that it had during the
more dramatic days of the last
war"
Sees Youths Future at Stake,
Yet. he added. "our care for the
spiritual welfare Of these men and
women is important, not only for
their own sakes, but for the sake
OF the future of the youth of
America.
The secret Of building UP the
Christian morale of our men and
women is to care for these men
and women" he said II believe

stirred to an understanding of
the Importance of this, there can
be no greater service rendered to
