Jury gndicts Officials Alaska Telephone Co.

New York-(AP). A Federal Grand Jury indicted Walter F. Tel Her, one of the Nations largest over-the-counter securities dealers, two Seattleites and others on charges of selling some $9O0,000 worth of bonds in the insolvent Alaska Telephone Corporation. The Seattle men are Elton B. Jones, secretary treasurer and counsel of the company, and Al bert J. Proctor, president and gen. eral manager.
 The indictment alleges conspir- acy was perpetrated in which worthless Alaska Telephone Cor poration securities were sold to cover interest payments on equally worthless prior issues. U, s. Attor- ney Leonard P. Moore said one thousand and four hundred per sons were victimized in the metro politan New York area. The men were indicted on thirtyssix counts, charging them with violation of the anti-fraud section oe the securi- ties act of 1883, mail fraud and conspiracy.
 Jones described the indictment as a damned outrage.p He has practiced law in Seattle for 25 years and held appointments as DO lice judge occasionally. He said his only connection with issues and securities of the company was in preparation of prospectuses, which were filed, edited and corrected under the difection of Seattle Sc curities Exchange Commission of flee. He said he had met Tellier only once and hasn't received a cent from the sale of bonds except as Attorneys fees.
 The company serves Southeast ern and interior Alaska. Jones said Proctor inherited the management of the company, which is giving vital service to the territory Proc tor said he was stunned and charges came as a surprise and is a terrible blow after all the time spent to keep the company operat- ing under many adverse condi- tions.

another proposal IS tO cuTLdu tnS fishing of resident fishermen to the extent of only allowing them to fish in one area. Tn other words, if a fisherman fishes Prince William Sound, he will not be al lowed to move into the Kodiak area, or Cook Inlet. This would be curtailed by licensing.
 Many of the fishermen spoke ve- hemently against such proposal Tiny Cichoski criticised the area closure, as did Pat Cannon. The latter made the counter proposal that fishermen be allowed to fish two areas, instead of one,
 Cannon also brought up the ar- gument that closure of fishing to only. boats fishing the area the last five years, would eliminate boys who have fished with their fathers and who now desire to own their own boats. He regarded that as un- fair to natives. Cichoski stated that if he is prevented from fishing in an area, the FWS would have trouble on their hands.
 The question then arose to the effect of Japanese fishing on the American run. Nick Gregory stated he had fished Bristol Bay and had caught fish bearing the marks of Japanese nets. McKernan asked, How do you know?" The latter further stated that study has been made the last two years on the subject, but no concrete evi- dence establishing this to be true has been made. He said the Ser vice is not overlooking this possi- bility. He stated the Japanese have agreed to abide by the terms of the treaty.
 McKernan further stated that the fish caught in the high seas operation of the Japanese are ma tured, on the whole, despite be- liefs to the contrary. Fish going into the Russian Rivers are small CT than the American fish," he said.
 Another interesting point brought out by McKernan was that salmon have high rate of nortali- .ty before maturing. There is con- siderable loss on the spawning grounds, and also when the sal mon first go to sea.
 Dr. William Royce, Assistant Ad- ministrator in charge of Research also spoke. His talk dealt with fish ing from biologist point of few.

Many Problems Aired
 At FWS Fishery Hearing

Problems pertaining to fishing in the Kodiak area and Alaska were aired at the second Fish and Wildlife Service hearing held this year, last night at the Fisherman's hall. About a hundred fishermen and interested persons crowded in- to the hall to hear proposals by the Service agents.
 Drastic changes in the existing regulations evoked heated com ment from some fishermen. The first proposal, that of regulating fishing gear coming to Alaska from the States, by allowing only boats that have fished here in the past five years, met with approval generally, of the majority Donald |. McKernan. Administrator of Commercial Fisheries of Alaska, pointed out that in 1943 there were only 33 seine boats coming to Al aska. In 1855 there were 440 boats from the States.
 MT. Balzo, Assistant Adminis- trator in charge of Management, FWS in Alaska, presented the FWS proposals for 1856. He point ed out the proposals are still in the discussion stage, and that any fishermen affected by them have until the 18th of December to make suggestions or file opposition.
 In an effort to build up the red salmon run in this area, Balzo stat ed that the FWS proposes to limit fishing to within 800 yards of the mouth of the Karluk River. The limit at the beginning of the sea- son would be 100 yards from the mouth, as in the past, and the new boundary set up during the middle of the run, from July l to August 13. This would increase escape ments, he said.
 Opposition to this was taken by several fishermen. Chief Alex Brown of Karluk pointed out the villagers in that area were depend ent on this fishing for livelihood.
 His chief argument against the proposal was that it would place their seines in rocky area, where 1t is impossible to fish. Beach seineing," he said, lis the villagers only means of making living" Jacob Laktonen of Karluk also spoke against the proposal.
 Pat Cannon, at this point, brought out the argument that the fish traps in that area curtail es- opponents, sThe B or 14 fish traps located there hold back the outer run of fish, he said. McKernan re- piled that there Is A hour clos ure on all types of gear. we can't discriminate against the type of gear used," he said.
 McKernan stated, There is too much gear, too many fishermen and boats. The fishermen are inn proving in their methods. All this decreases the fish yield. Some method must be found to increase escapement for the futurea of the industry" Commenting on the pro- posal to stop fishing gear from coming to Alaska, Mckernan said, s.The law says we have the power to curtail fishing" It is the pro- posaI of the FWS to invoke the Grandfather clause" to stop boats and gear from coming to Alaska from the States where they may have had poor season.
