Fish Trap Owners
Expected To Fight
5Opct. Curtaillnent
BY PAUL DUMAS
Juneau Daily Empire Staff Writer


JUNEAU, Endorsement by
Secretary of the Interior Mckay
of bill providing gradual elm
nation of fish traps in Alaska
presageS a stiff battle between
the Fish and Wildlife Service and
trap operators when they meet
for final hearings on 1856 fish
ing regulations in Seattle next
week.
Concern about a possible gear
dispute was expressed here yes
terday by Don McKernan, FWS
commercial fisheries administra-
tor. He said he feared one feature
of the bill threatens his proposal
that the 2-year-old so per cent
curtailment Of total fishing effort
be continued another year.
Last week, Mckay endorsed
bill, authored by Alaska Delegate
E. L. Bartlett, which provides
that established" fish traps
would be eliminated gradually
over a 5-year period. It would
become effective next year Nc
Kay's endorsement adds weight
to the probability the bill will be
enacted in the next Congress.
When the FWS proposed a cur
tailed fishing effort program
three years ago, trap operators
cooperated for two reasons:
l. The obvious necessity of per-
hitting more salmon to reach
stream beds for spawning pur-
poses.
z. A promise by the FWS that
once the salmon fishery showed
signs of coming back rigid regu-
lations of traps would be relaxed.
Trap operators today, instead of
looking forward to relaxation of
the rigid program, find them
selves being asked to lose half of
their traps before the bill even is
enacted into law.

hit by small salmon runs He said

Mr.. Syran said cargo space is
now so short that he has con-

out of the mothball fleet. But

weather, when vessels are able
to carry more cargo, will be
enough to bar the need for de-
mothballing any ships, he said.
