sPARKMAN vIsITs DELAWARE

Senator John Sparkman, Democratic can
didate for Vice President, made a political
visit to Delaware on Tuesday of this week.
This trip had been well publicized and those
planning for the trip expected large turn
outs of people. In this they were disappOint-
ed Certainly he, as well as those sponsoring
the trip, must have been disappointed with
his reception in our state. The writer drove
through Seaford while the delegation was
in that town. While newspaper reports say
that three hundred persons greeted him
there, we are doubtful of that number. From
where we passed in our car the sum total
seemed nearer the fifty mark. AS we went
through Laurel we noticed groups of school
children marching along the streets We as
sumed that they had been excused from
classes to see the candidate. Later in the day
we were in Georgetown. In fact the "caVal-
cade" had just left this county seat town
when we arrived. Persons who were there
say that the "crOwd" which greeted Senator
Sparkman was small and disappointing. We
arrived home in Milford just after the group
had left this city. Here, too, the "crOwd"
was almost negligible. We are told that an
actual count of twenty-three Milford resi-
dents greeted him. Others say that maybe
the crowd was about fifty people who were
present" Reports from Dover say that the
crOWd CnaC came TO see ana near the candl-
date was sparse there. Here, however, a
note of entertainment was injected into the
activities. Mr.. Vernon DerricksOn, Demo-
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, in
referring to Senator Sparkman, is quoted as
having introduced him as "The next Vice
President of the United States, Senator AL
ben Barkley." Newspapers reports from
Wilmington indicate that the crowds greet
ing Senator Sparkman were also disappOint-
ingly small. Certainly those sponsoring the
visit must have had feeling of disappoint-
ment as they drove the length of our state
last Tuesday.

Damming a river $50 miles away
will provide a reservoir of 335
square miles, whose waters will
drop half a mile in tumbling
through two ten-mile tunnels in
the rock to generate an ultimate
100000 horsepower capacity.
1t is worthy of note also that the
ore to be smelted in this far-away
former Indian village of Kitimat
will be brought from the island of
Jamaica in the British West Indies.
This is feasible because electricity
is the costliest ingredient of alumni
mum, and cheap electricity from the
fabulous water power resources of
Canada assures tremendous new
tonnage of lOw-priced metal for
the implements of peace and the
sinews of war Only when we re-
fleet that here at home we no long
er possess such untapped sources
of power, do we realize the signifi-
canoe of such developments to our
own security.
Thus, there is cheer in the inter
national picture, if we let Europe
simmer for a moment in the juice
of her own indecision as to whe-
ther economic salvatiOn-and free
dOm-are worth fighting for
and train our sights closer home.
, Our good neighbOr, Canada, is on
the march and going places!

BABSON Discusses Wealth Of The Sea

GLOUCESTER, Mass. September 19-As this is
my last week in Gloucester for this summer season,
let me speak of the wealth of the sea. So many
pessimistic articles are being written to the
waste of land resources let me call attention
the fact that threequarters of the earths surface
namely, the Oceans-are an undiscovered world of
riches The offers great opportunities to students,
wagewOrkers and investors. Owing to good harbors
and other advantages, I believe Gloucester, New
burypOrt and other seapOrts have great future.
MINERALS IN THE OCEAN
Today there few plants taking magnesium,
iodine and bromine from the sea but these only
part of the available minerals. In addition, there
are great quantities of aluminium. boron, calcium,
chlorine, copper, uOrine, lithium potassium seen-
ium, sulphur and zinc, not to mention sodium chlOr
ide. There is even god The sea contains enough of
these minerals to last thousand years and vsu-
aze these seapOrts becoming great centers of these
new industries.
When I a boy, the cod, haddock and mack
ere business was at it's height, while rOsefsh (now
known as ocean perch) was thrown away. To illus
trate how times change, the catching, flleting and
freezing of perch is now GlOucesters leading
industry. Gloucester, however, is handicapped by
the fish moving out further from the coast They may
later be attracted back by artificial lighting or the
of fertilizers
NEW KINDS OF FISH
The next great development will be the catch
ing and processing of waste fish," such as pOgies,
squid skate, ETC. These are now used for fish oil
and chicken food, but they have excellent nutri-
tional qualities Later we will be gathering, pro-
cessing and canning planktonic organisms. This in
dustry has a great future. Seaweed products will
also be processed and sold
The sea is very rich due to the drainage accu-
mutations from the land for millions of years; but

Crab cannery
Stops Operation

Crab fishing and processing
at the Island Seafoods cannery
came to a halt this week
through a disagreement over
the price of crabs.
The closing of the cannery
has forced several cannery
workers out of job. Both
sides hope to straighten out
the matter as crabs are com
ing back" at this time.
Fishermen claim they are
supposed to be paid $3.50 per
crab. The management of the
cannery said the payment of
$3.50 each per crab for canning
purposes was too high and did
not leave any margin in case
Russian or Japanese crab
under sold them.
japanese king crab has ar
rived on the eastern u. S.
market and is selling for $32
per case, Pete Deveau, super
intendent of Island Seafoods
Cannery, said yesterday. A
Boston wholesaler received
the first shipment.
Deveau received a wire
from the Seattle office of the
Island Seafoods Co. regarding
the Jap crab.
The wire stated that the
Boston merchant was willing
! to try a small quantity of Ko-
diak Island king crab if it sold
for 1872 FOB Seattle. The
price of American king crab
is quoted at $36 per case.
Deveau said it was hard to
try and compete with the Jap
crab business because their
wage scale is considerably
lower than the American and
their operating costs are much
lower than those of Alaskan
operators.

|Soviets Agree 10 Lef
Red Cross Take Care
OF India Relief Fund
BY the Associoted Press

MOSCOW. Sept. 13.-Soviet
trade unions announced today
they had agreed to an Indian gov
|ernment suggestion that famine
relief food and funds be sent to
the Indian Red Cross rather than
to a local committee to which they
were initially addressed.
A statement from the Soviet
Trade Union Council said the
unions were motivated solely by a
desire to assist the famine suffer-
ers and had no objections to any
means by which the goods could
get to the sufferers.
The Indian government said
Sept. it had informed both Rus
Isia and Red China that it is strict
Indian policy not to mix politics
and famine relief.
1t had been announced in New
Delhi, that Russian unions were
sending shipments of wheat and
rice and cash donation of $685.
600 to Communist-Sponsored
famine relief commission in An
dhra, Communist stronghold.
The Indian government opposed
distribution by this group or any
other private organization on the
grounds that it would interfere
with the governments own plans
for relief land creates an un-
healthy rivalry between various
private organizations"
India also returned a donation
of 100000 rupees ($84,000) to
Communist China because the
money was earmarked for the
Andhra commission.
