Philippines, ThaiIand
Ask Part in Asia Talks
BY the Associoted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
June 5.-The Philippines and
Thailand have protested vigor-
ously but without success against
being excluded from military
talks in Washington on the de-
fense of Southeast Asia.
An Asian diplomat who de-
clined to permit use of his name
said yesterday that Carlos p.
Romulo of the Philippines and
Pote Sarasin of Thailand asked
the State Department several
days ago why their military men
were not invited to the talks
which opened Thursday.
He said that as far as he knew,
there had not been a satisfactory
answer and that the conference
went ahead as originally planned
with the United States, Australia,
New Zealand, Britain and France
taking part.
This diplomat said that was a
white mans lineup" and it GER
tainly would be exploited by the
Communists in their propaganda
campaign.
He said also that the Philip
pines and Thailand governments
felt their manpower would be a
part of any defense system and
their military leaders should
have something to say about
setting up the system.

AlaSka's Aquatic Gold.

If you are hunting for gold
in Alaska, the wealth is aquatic
in it's origin and fortunately it
does not run out by mining.
In the salmon industry alone,
Alaska employs more than 20.-
900 persons to pack more than
3,348,354 cases containing 48
one-pound cans each. This
food is valued at $38 million, a
yearly income almost three times
the annual production of gold.
The salmon industry also &C
counts for 80 per cent of the
revenue received from taxes.
The task of protecting this
most important resource OF the
State has been delegated to
the Secretary of Commerce.
Many must be employed to see
that regulations are obeyed.

Experts must determine the pro-

eral species of salmon.
There are five distinct species
in Alaskan waters. They are
well known as the red or SOCK

However, the two most import

Salmon of all five species

Although he was running

All of these considerations ap-
piled in today's deal and Mr..
Masters made the secondhand
high play which resulted in the
defeat of the contract.
The opening lead was the jack
of hearts. Dummy'S queen fell to
Mrs. Keen's ace. A heart was
returned and won by the king on
the board. Now Mr.. Abel pulled
three rounds of trumpS. This
was a serious error, as it removed
an important entry to dummy.
The next play was a small dia-
mond from the closed hand. If
Mr.. Masters had played low.
dummy's nine would have lost to
Mrs. Keen's queen. Later, how
ever, another diamond f1nesse
could have been taken and on
the fourth diamond Mr.. Abel
could have discarded a club and
thus made 10 tricks.
But, Of course, Mr.. Masters did
not play low on the first diamond
lead. He played the king. Ac-
tually this play had nothing to
lose. If Mr.. Abel held the queen,
the king was a dead duck any
way.
Mr.. Abel won with dummy's
ace of diamonds and led back the
jack, but Mrs. Keen was equal to
the occasion and she ducked, per-
mitting the jack to hold.
At this point the diamond suit
was dead and Mr.. Abel could see
no point in leading it again. He
led the ten of clubs and hoped
for a miracle. Mrs. Keen COW
cred and the ace in the closed
hand won.
However, there was no way for
Mr.. Abel to avoid the loss of two
clubs and a diamond and he was
down one-beaten by his own
bad play and the good play Of
his opponents.
