This is About Shrimp
alIyS4aN.

The Alaska shrimp industry has been having some rough going The markets off in comparison with costs and shipping is ever d prop lem. Alaska shrimp, however, re- man une best in the world, So We put the research department to work. This is what they found in the Department of the Interiors latest information service bulletin:
 Discovery of new fishing waters for small. cocktail size shrimp of the state of Washington and the location of concentrations of vel lowfin tuna in the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico were made rel tenCIy by the exploratory fishing vessel of the Fish and Wildlife SeI- vice, Acting Secretary of the Inter- for Clarence A. Davis said today"
 Don't know what day that was, then the information service goes on:
 Small shrimp had been found in commercial quantities in the wat CTS off Oregon and California. Work done during the fall of 1855 indicated that there were extensive shrimp beds from Cape Disappoint- ment to Destruction Island, Wash, principally in waters between 50 and 100 fathoms deep. On its Ap- Til exploratory cruise the Cobb (ex- ploratory vessel) discovered what might become an excellent shrimp fishery off the Grays Harbor area. During the test the Gray'S Harbor area yielded shrimp at the rate of 2,OO0 pounds per hour for the best catches. Fairly consistent catches of 500 pounds and hour are report ed. One day seven 30-minute drags luade during the morning resulted in 5,210 pounds of shrimp. Random samples showed that the shrimp nged from 110 to 122 per pound. One commercial shrimp vessel has begun operations in the area"
 All of which gives just little idea of what the Alaska shrimp in dustry, centered in Wrangen and Petersburg, is up against.
 Perhaps this is an opportunity for those pseudo Senators we're go- ing to elect next October to do something rather than just sit and wait for statehood. Its an odds-on bet that those distinguished Sena- tors from the state of Washington Warren Magnuson and Scoop" Jackson - aren't going to put their foot in the door of a Grays Harbor shrimp industry

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Money Makes the Mare Go

There has been considerable agi- tation of late for the export of un- D. Ocessed logs to the states which ment regulation long in effect for the explicit purpose of forcing the lumber processing industry to come lU ,ne source Of supply
 We've been wondering why the Concerted effort to change d long estaDII=neL poIcy wnlcn appeared to be paying off when they estab- llshed $o6 million pulp mill in ketChikan and plans are in the works for the construction of other aska area.
 men we got letter from the Reid Brothers Logging Company of Petersburg which gives very frank reason. Say Reid Brothers:
 Why do Alaskan loggers want to export their logs? Money - just money. They can get more money for their logs in the States In fact, they get so much more that they can afford to pay the extremely heavy cost Of towing log rafts from here to Puget Sound and still come out farther ahead"
 So the answer is money, as usual, and that being ever paramount Republican issue, we should get off this subject right now. However, Mr re still in the dark on one an- Z a aud that is. il the lOggers, as Reid Brothers point out, can afford tu pay the extremely heavy cost of towing log ratts from here to Pug ct Sound and still come out farther ahead, why couldn't lumber and pulp plants established in the States do exactly the same thing If the barrier against export of un- processed logs were dropped?
 It's our seawall opinion that this is no time to open Alaska forests to first class raid of a great nat ural resource for export to the !. -es or anywhere else, and thus end, probably into the unforesee- able tutUre, the hope and goal oI getting more lumber industrial plants into Alaska.
 Darn that old business of money.

New Envoy
From
Ecuador
BY KATHARINE M. BROOKS

BY KATHARINE M. BROOKS
Ecuador's new Ambassador.
Teodoro Alvarado, has arrived
in Washington and is in resi-
dence in the embassy on Ban
croft place. The Ambassador
designate is no stranger here,
having served as Counselor of
the embassy some years ago.
However since his last tour
of duty Sonora de Alvarado
has died, so again the charm
Ing embassy will be without a
hostess.
Dr.. Alvarado, like his pred
ecessors will serve as his
country's Ambassador to the
Organization of American
States, a post he already has
assumed.
The newly appointed AM
basSador succeeds DR.. Jose r.
Chiriboga, who went home
some months ago to campaign
for the presidency. 1t is I'M
derstood that the unofficial re-
turns from the voting indicate
that DR.. Chiriboga was not
elected. He is expected to
come to Washington for a
vacation and to visit his many
friends in the Capital before
the end of this month. During
his regime as Ambassador, the
embassy was without a hostess,
as Sonora de Chiriboga re-
turned to Ecuador shortly
after he assumed his post.
DR.. Chiriboga is noted here
for his parties and for his
entertaining singing of folk
songs, playing his own accom-
paniments on a native guitar
and also for his delightful folk
stories. He will be welcomed
back on the. social scene of the
Capital, if only for a visit.
Another former Ambassador.
DR.. Alfonso MoScoso, was a
recent visitor in Washington.
He came to spend a few
days with his brother-in-Iaw
and sister, the Ecuador Min
lister and Sonora de Peralto.
and has returned to his present
home in New York.
