AIaskas' Fishery Wasfe
 Seen as Savior of Pacific Northwest Salmon Runs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-LR- Alaska's fish garbage may help assure the survival of the Pacific Northwest Salmon industry, the Fish and Wildlife Service said yesterday.
 The agency said in a report that Alaskan canneries throw away 50,000 tons of salmon vis- cera or entrails each year.
 It said its laboratories at Se- attle and Ketchikan, Alaska have successfully tested this waste as a new source of fish hatchery food to replace the Pacific Northwest's threatened supply"
 The construction of dams on major rivers in Washington and Oregon has considerably reduced the area of salmon spawning grounds. To make up for this loss. hatcheries are being increased in size and many new hatcheries are being built
 Produces Drain
 The agency said this produces an abnormal drain on fish food supply already too high in price and difficult to get"
 The laboratories are collect ing and testing 100000 pounds of salmon waste, to determine whether it can be profitaSiJ frozen and shipped to Pacific coast fish hatcheries.
 The material is shipped frozen in plastic lined burlap bags.
 The agency estimates that about 30 per cent of Alaska's annual salmon catch of 360,0o0,0o0 pounds is waste. It estimates the poten- tial value of this material, now dumped into the sea. or allowed to rot at the canneries, at $5,oOo,- 900 to S10,000,000 a year.

 Case
By DREW PEARSON

" ASHINGTON. - It is a grave matter for a Senator to introduce a resolution aimed at unseating a fellow Senator. However, Senator Benton of Connecticut carefully documented the case against Sen- ator Mccarthy of Wisconsin be- fore calling for his custer. Hero are the facts that led Benton to demand a Senate investigation oi Mccarthy with view toward his expulsion"
 l. Senator Mccarthy has tried to intimidate his press critics = the greatest challenge to freedom of the press since the civil war For example, Mccarthy has char ged that the Washington Post is a "Communist Camp follower 7 He has called the Milwaukee Jour- nal the Milwaukee Edition" and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the "St. Louis Edition" of the Con- muist Daily Worker. He has re- peatedly lambasted the Madison Capital-Times as pro-Communlst He has called this columnist the "Voice of International Commun- ism" On one occasion, he even accused the conservative Satur- day Evening Post of following the Daily Worker line.

 Gen. James c. Steese isn't sure. He's only been retired from the armed forces three times and from private business once, but he thinks this is really the last time.
 The General is on one of his bi- ennial trips to Alaska - that is, since the last war, He is here vis- iting friends and resting until Saturday after a whirlwind tour around the Territory covering much of the same ground by auto and railroad that he once trekked on foot, horseback and with dog team.
 Steese, remembered as. "Colonel' to many old time Alaskans, spear headed the building of the Alaska Railroad and carried on ill the early days of the Alaska Road Commission.
 In recognition of his work, the road from Fairbanks to Circle was named the Steese Highway.
 He recalls with relish the days when the commission was inde- pendent of Washington, red tape and the power was vested in a commission free to settle issues here
 Steese made the necessary pill grimages to Congress for funds and thereafter only reported what he had done with them. In 1882 the commission lost it's freedom and came under the Department of Interior, Steese said.
 He retired as commission chair man in 1927. In private busin- ess from then until 194l, he saw duty with the Alaska National Guard from 1895 to 1887, when he was once more retired. He re- tired from business to return to the army in l94l and retired for the third time in l946.
 It was in 1913 that Steese first came to Alaska to report on the feasibility of constructing rail- road from Seward to Fairbanks. He said it was possible but favor ed extension of the Copper River and Western Railroad to Fairbanks with a branch read to the Mata- nuska coal fields.
 However, in 1923-24, Steesc found himself chairman and chief engineer of the Alaska Railroad.
 In 1913 there were no real reads in Alaska only trails, including "Richardson Tria' from Valdez to Fairbanks, a few miles of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad in Alaska, and the Copper River Railroad, the General said.
 T saw that future development was dependent upon improved methods of transportation but nothing like claims of many wild magazine articles that overratc the resources of Alaska" he said. "Todays boom in the Interior is predicated upon defense spending.
 We had commercial aviation in Alaska six years before the first airplane commercial ticket was sold in the United States" he said. "The bush pilots did great job up here then and are trying to now, but the govern ment is trying to choke them off"
 For the past three years the General has been world trav- eler and has only spent total of six weeks on U. s. soil. From here he goes to Mexico, then to Greece, the Mediterranean coun- tries and wherever whim takes him.
 There's one nice thing about being retired" the General chuck led, Maybe I don't always do ev- erything I want to debut l cer- tainly don't do anything that l don't want to dol"

ToDeIayLook Al $500,O00 Tax Fix Story

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-lR-The start of a grand jury inquiry into Abraham Teitelbaum's story of an alleged attempt to shake him down for s5oO,0o0 in exchange for relief from tax troubles appeared likely today to be delayed until next month.
 The White House, meanwhile, maintained secrecy on details of the drastic action" promised by Pre- sident Truman to sweep wrongdoers out of the federal government, re- portedly with U. s. Judge Thomas F. Murphy of New York welding the broom.
 And the House Ways and Means subcommittee whose hearings figur- ed largely in MT. Truman's decision arranged to question on Thursday Henry Grunewald, about whom some mystery developed in its previous sessions.
 The committee has wanted to question GruneWald for some time but has been unable to because he was in Georgetown University Hospital. A physician reported his ailment was nervous tension.
 The hospital disclosed today that lit dismissed Grunewald last night. Adrien De Wind, counsel for the House Investigating group, said Grunewald has been subpoenaed to appear before it on Thursday.
 De Wind declined to elaborate, but it was regarded that at least the initial questioning of Grune- wald would be behind. closed doors. The group last week wound up it's presently scheduled open sessions.
 Grunewald was hospitalized when the subcommittee sought to ques- tion him earlier. One thing mem- bers have said they want to ask him about is a $500 loan involving Charles Oliphant, recently resigned chief counsel of the Internal Rev. enue Bureau.

INTRICATE TASK OF ADVISING KINFOLK

WASHINGTON. Dec. 18 = R = The military in Korea, Tokyo and Washington today began a gigantic, intricate task of advising kinfolk of the names of 3,198 Americans re- ported held prisoner by the Com- munists. The first official notifica- tions may go out by early after noon.
 Many families will be cheered by word that their soldier-sons are alive, although in enemy hands. But a still greater number are in for grief and disappointment.
 The list supplied by the Com- munists is little more than one fourth of l1,042 Americans reported missing in Korea.
 The Army in Korea arranged to fly the prisoner list to Tokyo where it will be distributed to newsmen and relayed on to the Pentagon in Washington.
 That list will contain only the names, rank, serial numbers and unit designations. It will have to be matched in Washington against the roster of the missing to obtain home town addresses.
 That procedure will take hours. possibly days.

Council Meeting Fails 10 Change Bar Closures

A special meeting of the city council today for reconsideration of recently recommended closure periods for four Juneau bars charged with various violations failed to bring any action for len iency.
 The district court has announced that the licenses of the bars will be held up for the various periods of prejudice" This will mean the Arctic and the Victory bars will be closed 30 days each following Jan- uary l. The Top Hat and Triangle bars will be closed 10 days each during that period.
 The council met at the request of the police committee headed by Councilman Robert Stutte for re- consideration of the closure pen- alties.
 There had been criticism that nearly all the bars at some time or other had been guilty of minor vi- oiations, and some bar owners felt the action was discriminatory. Most councilmen, however, felt that the bars named had been charged by police with the various offenses and that it'was the duty of the council to uphold the police.
 Bar owners had protested that they had paid fines and had been assured that that was the end of it." Council members said final consideration was up to the coun- cil and said that fines paid in magistrate court should not free offenders of action of licenses.
 The Arctic bar was penalized for allowing cards to be played on the bar; the Victory bar for selling liquor to habitual; the Triangle for not clearing the bar in the proper time after closing hours; and the Top Hat for operating with it's venetian blinds closed.
 The council plans to take the matter up at it's next regular meeting Thursday, and to outline policy to give better understand ing and to end further confusion.
 None of the bar owners were present at the meeting.
