2 Fishermen's Wives Picket Japanese Ship Loaded With Tuna

LONG BEACH, Calif., R- Twenty-Five fishermen's wives picketed a Japanese ship load ed with $50 tons of tuna Wednes- day.
 Spokesmen for the vessel, the Banhu Maru, said it would not be unloaded because of the pickets.
 The women, some accompanied by children, carried placards reading: Stop Japanese Tuna" and We want to help rebuild Japan but not by sacrificing our American fishermen"
 The ship docked Tuesday with tuna for canneries here, at Santa Maria and San Francisco.
 Watching the picketing were several hundred fishermen, who have protested that the importa- ton of Japanese tuna is threaten ing the West Coast tuna industry.

TREATY WILL PROTECT PRIBnoF SEALS
Daily Alaska Empire)

The governments of the United States Canada Japan and Russia will meet in Washington late this year negotiate treaty for the conservation Of the fur seals of the North Pacific Ocean if the invitations delivered by the American embassies at Ottawa Tokyo and Moscow April P accepted. The Fish and Wild life Service last week received notice of the invitations to the treaty from the State Department
 The new fur seal treaty would be aimed at pro- tecting the North Pacific herds by again outlawing pelagic sealing-the killing of seals in open water
 A new treaty would be basically the same the 1911 Pelagc Sealing Treaty which covered the same four governments with whatever changes would be necessary due to scientific findings the habits of fur seals according to the 'FWS.
 Canada and Japan participated with the United States in joint fur seal biological study which was completed recently and which will supply information for treaty negotiations.
 The report estimates the fur seal population of the Pribilof Islands, controlled by the United States at 1250000 seals exclusive of pups Each year es
 mated 5OOO0O pups born and half of them die their first year The Russian Commander Islands herd is estimated to be between 73 900 and 123,000 (wth a notation the report that only the Russians know the true count) The Japanese Robben Island herd is est mated at between 10000 and 5O,0OO seals.
 According to the Fish and Wildlife Service, the importance of treaty to restore the ban on pelagic sealing is demonstrated by notation in the report that the Prbilof and Asian seals do nerminge in the waters off Japan with estimated 30 percent of the B., A. and 5year-old seals being of Priblof origin
 Under the 1911 treaty, the United States catch of Pribilof seals divided each year with 70 percent going to the United States and Is percent each to Canada and Japan Russia pledged a similar amount of it's sealskn catch from it's waters to Canada and Japan and in return, Japan gave Russia, Great Britain and the United States total of lO percent ot her seal catch.
 The only agreement in effect at present to protect fur seals from pelagic sealing is provisional one be- tween the United States and Canada. The 1911 Four Power Treaty remained in force only until 1917 for Russia when that nation abrogated it, and until 1941 when Japan dropped out.

The holiday season has al
ready brought us several rich
bonuses in the way of TV
entertainment. Even without

could easily vote this video
Christmas as the most pro-
ductive since that memorable
eve when NBC followed the
premiere of "Amahl" with
readings by Charles Laugton.
Since that year. the net
works seemed inclined to mark
time, q tradition unwisely in

which have regarded the

the way, why Climax had
scheduled the Dickens classic
the week before Christmas. but
the mystery was cleared up
last Thursday with the pres
