Fraser River Produced
More Salmon This Year
Than All Other Rivers

VANCOUVER, B. c., Up - The
mighty, rejuvinated Fraser River
produced more salmon this year
than all the rivers of Alaska COM
bined.
It is the first time in history
that the rivers of British Column
bia have ever topped the vast
northern territory's production,
even when harvests from second
airy rivers such as the Mass and
Skeena were included.
Total Fraser River sockeye pack
for both Canadian and American
fishermen is expected to be more
than 100000 cases this year COM
pared with an estimated 100000
cases for Alaska.
Principally responsible for the
remarkable Fraser triumph is the
huge Adams River sockeqe run
which yielded 100000 fish.
A long-range conservation pro-
grom by the International Pacific
Salmon Fisheries Commission has
vastly increased Fraser sockeye
production while Alaska catches
have declined steadily for the past
decade.

jective if elected.
impairment of morale Of Fed
eral employees with consequent
slackening off of business in this
area has been caused largely by
the constant fear Of losing their
jobs that hangs over Government
workers." Mr.. White said.
Mr.. White said his program
has two objectives. 1.-THE first is
to protect by congressional legis-
lation all Government workers,
except political appointees, from
the operation of the spoils Sys-
tenn initiated by the Republican
Party after the last election" he
said. "The second is to put into
effect a long range plan to pro-
tect employees affected by re-
ductions for budgetary reasons. ("
Declaring that normal attri-
ton caused by designations and
retirements is usually sufficient
to absorb personnel cuts. Mr..
White said CONGRESS should en-
act legislation to give employees
a reasonable chance to be placed
elsewhere in Government before
they are separated from the pay
roll.
"The Indifference of the Re-
publican Party to this problem
has caused untold hardship to
