WHEN IT RAINS, TT POURS

AS If the independent fish e.men were
not having enough tro-l1s just finding
a market fcr their fish, along pops up
a ma jor setback when mechanical failure
on freezer ship, the Arctic Maids
caused spoilage Of more than $1,000 SAL
mon in the Naknek areal
The ship, SO the report goes, was
loaded with fish sold by resident indie
pendent fishermen in the Nalnek-Kv; chalk
area. Fishermen were just hauling IN the
first good run Of salmon in the Nal01ek
and Kvichak rivers when they received
notice Of the failure. They were told
that further cathhes would not be made
until such time as the Arctic Main could
handle them, which seemed destined TO
be AFTER the heavy run is past--the
Maih being obligated by previous commit
ments to its own fishermen.
This presents an economic crisis and
officials Of the Bristol Bay area have
been predicting that an emergency situat K
will result unless some poaicy is worked
out to provide income for fishermen dur

Vatican Saws
PONIES Health
lis improved
BY FRANK sRUTTo

VATICAN CITY R-The Vatican
newspaper L'0sservatore Romano,
In evident effort to allay growing
concern over the health of Pope
Plus XII, said today that s'the
state of the Supreme P0ntiff,
thanks to God, continues to i'm.
prove. !
The newspaper also described as
absolutely unfounded" reports in
the Italian, press that an English
specialist who attended the late
King George vi of Britain had
been called for consultation.
This report. printed in both Il
Messaggero and II Tempo OF
Rome, conservative newspapers,
had heightened worry in Vatican
circles that the Pontiff may be
suffering from cancer.
King George died. Aof a throm.
bosis in 1852 after he had been
operated upon for cancer of the
lung.
The Vatican newspaper, in its
9engthiest comment upon the
Pope's condition since he was
forced to cancel a big general
audience just a week ago today,
said during the past two days
q part of the press had made
"conjectures that were arbitrary
and inconsistent with the news"
A Vatican press office bulletin
yesterday said medical examina-
tons with happily negative re.
suits" had established that the dis.
turhance from which the Pope suf.
fers Is of ga gastric nature, pro.
voked by nonadequate functioning
OF the neuro-digeStive system"
The announcement appeared to
be aimed at dispelling the fears of
cancer. As described in that bulle,
tin, the ailment is nervous indi-
gestion. Hiccuping from time to
time disturbs the Pope's sleep.
