Naval Officials Outline Position.

A committee from the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce met Tues day afternoon with the Comman- dant of the 17th Naval District, Adm. Kenneth Craig, and the Com manding Officer of the Naval Sta tion, Capt. w. M. Drane, for the purpose of discussing the proposed sales tax on rentals. @-
 This highly controversial aspect of the proposed sales tax was thoroughly discussed and the Nav al officials outlined their position. They indicated it would work a hardship on Navy personnel, and affect the Governments operation in this area. Adm. Craig assured the committee the Navy was not fighting" the City Council or the people of Kodiak. He said they had no opposition to sales tax except as it applied to rentals.
 Mayor Johnson, speaking for the Committee, and not as a member of the City Council, stated that the Chamber had passed resolution favoring tke sales tax as present ed. He said the ordinance had not yet been prepared for Council ac- tion and there would be further hearings on the subject.
 The Committee, following the discussion, described as very ami able" voiced an opinion favoring recommending to the Council the tax on all rentals be dropped. They favored the tax on utilities re-

Three separate libel actions, to- talling over $750,O00.00, were filed in District Court Thursday, May 3, against Capt w. M. Drane, Com manding Officer of the Naval Sta tion, Kodiak,
 The suits were filed on behalf of Mrs. Elizabeth L. Hardin, Mrs. Shirlee A. Wick and Mrs. Peggy J. Shreve by attorney John Mansuy of the law firm of Dupler and Man. suy, Kodiak. Drane was not charg- ed as an officer in the Navy, but as an individual.
 The women are asking for. dam ages for defamation of character, The complaints read, in part, That defendant signed and caus. ed to be published by delivery through Navy Personnel Office channels, certain Modification of Personnel Action" dated March f6, 1856 on U. s. Government Printing Office Standard Form 50, charging plaintiff with misappropriation of government property, and notifying said plaintiff that she was rernov- ed from her position of employ ment as checker for cause" ,"
 Hrs. Hardin, 23, is asking dam ages in the amount of $242, POT. .00, while Mrs. Wick and Mrs. Sl1reye are asking $257, POT. .o0. The amounts asked were computed on the expectancy of their future earnings had they not been dis missed by such action,
 The actions further charged that said publication was false and de- famatory, malicious and unprivi- legged, and exposed plaintiff to ridi- cule, contempt and obloquy, and caused her to be injured in her reputation and deprived her of her means of livelihood"
 The plaintiffs, wives of enlisted men attached to the Naval Base, and each a mother, had been em- ployed at the Base commissary. Mansuy stated yesterday: "The young ladies have demanded an opportunity to clear their names since a charge of this kind may well preclude their employment for the rest of their lives"

New Regulations, Area licensing
 En Effect This Year

Area licensing for 1856 of all boats and fishermen began last Wednesday, according to, Key Lind sIey, of the Fish and WiIdIife Ser vice. This licensing applies to sal mon taken in Alaskan waters with nets, and includes purse seine, beach and round seine. and, gill nets.
 Licenses may be obtained from the local representative stationed in various ports. They may be ,ob- tained by applying in person. or by mail. Mail applications may be sent to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service officer here in Kodiak, by fishermen in this district or to any district office located at Ketchikan, Petersburg, Juneau, Anchorage, Sand Point or King Salmon. fi ]
 The licenses will, in effect, per init the taking of salmon by nets in only one prior selected district of Alaska. In addition to licensing, boat and gear registration forms must be completed as normally done in the past.
 Boats will be licensed on boat card, and fishermen, including boat captain, will be licensed on fishermen card. Such licensed boats and fishermen may take salmon with nets in one licensing area only.
 Under the heading of Hardship Cases, the FWS has issued the fol- lowing instructions:
 CD Captains and fishermen may transfer to other craft only within area in which they are licensed. (2) Another boat may be substi- tuted for licensed boat which be- comes imperative during the sea- son within the same area. (3) Dur ng the 1856 fishing season only, the 30-day requirement for prior licensing may be waived. (4) Ap- plication for area licensing after the beginning of fishing season will be considered on the basis of the circumstances involved. In other words, ali hardship cases as noted above, are subject to approv- al by the local representative of the FWS.
 The Department advised that the original of the fisherman license will be given tothe fisherman and should be carried on his person at all times.
 A licensing area is regulatory fishing area or combination of Sev- eral areas such as Bristol Bay, Aleutian Island, which includes Alaska Peninsula and Chignik; Ko- diak; Cook Inlet and Resurrection Bay; Prince William Sound, Cop per River, Boring River and Yaka- taga; Yakutat and Southeastern AL aska.
 Actually, as one FWS official pointed out, this is not licensing, but rather a registration. There is no cost involved. Continued in creaSes from year to year in the movement of the mobile salmon fleet from area to area in Alaska, has been noted. It has been deter mined that such movement must be curtailed in the interests of sound

 Dr. 4. Holmes Johnson City Health Officer made this state ment after he had checked the water in the reservoir and tank. Residents will no longer need to boil the water, he said, as it is no longer being pumped from the lakes. Besides the clorinator is working.
