Japanese Agree
Not To Expand
Alaska Grabbing

(The Juneau Independent

(The Juneau independently
The japanese have agreed not
to expand their king crab fishing
operations in Boring Sea this year
beyond the scope of the 1852 fish
cry, Clarence l.. Anderson, direc-
tor of the Alaska Department of
Fisheries, said last week upon his
return from the initial session in
Washington Of the new Interna-
tional North Pacific Fisheries
Commission.
Last year japanese mother
ship with its fishing fleet canned
more than a million king crab.
The agreement not to extend this
operation was made off the record
and not in open commission Ses-
sions, Anderson said.
The Juneau man, who attended
as an observer, said Gov. B. Frank
Heintzleman was appointed one
of the four United States official
representatives on the commits
sion. He was unable, because of
the press Of other business in
Washington to attend more than
one session Of the meetings which
continued for two weeks.
An important development of
the meeting, Anderson said, was
the appointing Of joint commit
tee Of biologists, consisting Of two
us, two Canadian, and two Jap
anese representatives, to prepare
a master research plan for presen-
tation at the next commission
meeting in October.
One problem to be studied will
be whether the present line at
ITS degrees west longitude was
the proper division between Am
erican and Asiatic waters.

Washington, ID. c., January:
Earl o. Shreve, National Director
of the U. S. Savings Bonds Division,
Treasury Department, has ex-
pressed his apprecia ton to the
American people for their record
support of the Savings Bonds pro-
gram in 1858. In year-end state
ment, MIR. Shreve forecast that
more series E and I'll Savings Bonds
would be sold in 1854 than in the
past record postwar year. He said
further that all indications pointed
to record sale of savings bonds to
people who planned to buy their
Individual 1854 annual maximum
of $4,000 E Bonds or i'll Bonds
during January and February. He
added that his confidence in 1854
Savings Bonds sales reaching new
highs was based on the popularity
of the Payroll Savings Plan with
many millions of employees across
the country, and the enthusiastic
support given to the Bond-A-
Month Plan by banks. Mr.. Shreve,
formerly president of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States,
and sales vice-president of the
General Electric Company, also
reported that owners of IS per cent
of about $40 billion in E Bonds
that have so far matured are re-
tanning these bonds to take advan-
tage of the automatic ten-year ex-
tension privilege.

THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY

The proper observance of WashingtOn'S birthday
anniversary did not come about overnight after his
DEATH The colonies and the states were slow to
recognize the magnitude of the accomplishment and
contribution of General Washington Not only had he
won independence for the colonies he had served as
the first President and he had set the precedent for
a two-term limit for Chief Executives.
Moreover he had established the foundation prin-
ciples Of American governments-one Of them being
staying out Of the affairs Of other nations That policy
the wisest for the young nation at that time
and this doctrine allowed the country to grow and
prosper during its early years
In the last years Of his life and the first years after
his DEATH political feeling in the country between the
parties strong that some Of the observances
suggested for Washngtons birthday anniversary were
denounced as political demonstrations Only slowly
did the nation to recognize its founder and mill
tary hero as his services to his country merited
After he died, December A. 1899, the Congress
(then meeting in PHILADELPHIA proposed that February
p, 1900, be observed throughout the country with
exercises in honor Of the first President Of the country
This congressional proposal was widely acted upon
and exercises were held in the principal cities
Thereafter, observances of Washngton's birthday
spread rapidly and today its observance is general
throughout the nation This is appropriate since Wash
ingon is often under-rated both as general and as
President Every American citizen owes as much
to Washington more for his freedom and the indie
pendence of his country to any other American hero
