Han1marskjo|d
Move Watched
BY JAMES E. ROPER

The Eisenhower administra-
ton today looked to the Ham,
marskjold peace mission as the
first test Of an American backed
program to avoid an Israeli
Arab war.
| If the peace efforts of United
Nations Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold fail, then Presi-
dent Eisenhower is prepared to
press on with the rest of an
American program.
The administration program is
not precise. Some observers call
it vague. Others call it flexible
But, if all else fails, it could lead
to the commitment of American
forces to fight in the Middle
East.
Eyes on HammarSkj Old
This is the reason that the ad-
ministration is watching so anx-
iously at what happens on Mr..
Hammarskjold's trip to the Mid
die East.
Responsible officials here are
convinced that neither Israel nor
Egypt wants war. But these
same officials are not so sure
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-04-11

that either government can keep
the current border clashes from
getting out Of control.
If war should come, Mr.. Ham
Imarskjold. U. N. Truce Supervisor
1t. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, and the
U. N. Security Council probably
would try to determine which
side was to blame.
The United States or some
other country probably would
ask the Security Council to name
the aggressor and call on all
U. N. members to go to the aid
lof the victim of the attack.
This would present another
crisis. Would the Soviet Union
veto a resolution? If the Soviet
used its veto. it would stand ex-
posed as the supporter Of ag-
igression. But if the Soviet let
such a resolution 60 through the
Security Council, then Moscow
would have difficulty in objecting
to allied use of armed force in
accordance with the resolution
Would Go to Congress
AT about this time, the Eisen-
hover administration - accord
ing to present indications-would
ask Congress for authority to use
American forces against the ma
ton or group of nations which
u. N, deemed to be the agrees
ESor.
The United States. however
would expect to have allies in
this operation, The United States
used the U. N. to line up allies
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-04-11

which would limit American &C
ton. In the light of what has
already been said, this is taken
to mean that no American armed
forces would be used in the Mid
die East without the approval
of Congress. And although Sec
rotary Of State Dulles talks with
congressional leaders encourage
the idea that such approval may
eventually be requested, the ad-
miniStration seems to feel no
particular sense of urgency at
this stage.
The enthusiasm aroused by
the American statement reflects
the hope that both Egypt and
Israel will accept it as a timely
warning that the United States
will not stand idly by if war
starts. 1t is also taken as an
encouraging sign that something
like a firm American policy is
at last in the process of emery
ing after a period of dangerous
vacillation. The question that
remains is whether either warn
ing or policy is strong enough to
prevent a dangerous situation
from getting out of control.

far.
The main question asked here
is whether Mr.. EiSenhower'S
statement does not. in fact. load
a number of new conditions on
American intervention in the
Middle East - conditions which
would 60 a long way toward un-
dermining the three-poWer dec
laration of 1850 supporting the
frontiers of Israel. Some OBJ
servers feel that this earlier
pledge is being supplanted by a
new policy still not clearly de-
fined.
All Pledged Action
Six years ago, Britain. France
and the United States pledged
themselves to take action both
inside and outside the United
Nations" in the event of use of
force or threat of force to change
the present frontiers of Israel.
And although the exact kind of
action remained underlined. this
declaration in some respects
seems a good deal stronger than
the careful language being used
today.
Now, says Mr.. Eisenhower
the United States. in accord
ance with its responsibilities
under the charter of the United
Nations, will observe its commit
mentS within constitutional
means to oppose any aggression
in the area" 1t will also sup
port and assist any nation which
might be subject to such an ag-
erosion"
The first problem raised is
clearly that of naming an ag-
gressor. 1t goes without saying
that the situation in Israel is not
the same as that in Korea OF
Formosa or Indo-China. If the
present fighting should develop
into a full-scale war the ques-
ton Of naming the aggreSSor
might be well nigh impossible
despite teams of U. N. observers
on the spot.
Clear Implication
The implication is clearly that
the job of fixing responsibility and
measures taken to oppose agrees
sion would be left up to the U. N
Security Council. And with Rus
STA actively participating in any
decision, few observers here put
much faith in the idea that
prompt and effective action
would be forthcoming.
1t is noted, furthermore, that
President Eisenhower's statement
makes no specific reference to
the 1850 declaration and says
nothing about the possibility OF
independent action in case the
U. N. is paralyzed by a Russian
veto. To some, this suggests that
the United States is backing
away from its earlier pledge in
fear that Western intervention
on one side might provoke Rus
sian intervention on the other
In any event. it seems clear that
no independent action would be
taken until the possibility of COL
lective effort in the U. NJ was
thoroughly explored.

Kodiak mirror., 1956-06-02
By Sig Digree


 The opening June l, of the Kar- iuk district for salmon fishing sounded the kickoff on Kodiak Is- land for the 1856 fishing season.
 1956's crop garnering of the sil- very horde in this once fabulous productive region is a speculative quantity. The trend has been downward, the past few years, with the fishermen on the one hand, attempting to make living, and the FWS management seeking to strike balance which would in- sure them a livelihood and still preserve for posterity, by means of eScapement, sufficient quanti- ties of the salmon to build up this great natural resource to some thing of it's once great proportions.
 Roy Lindsley, FWS Agent here, laid before me statistical figures which graphically illustrate this downward trend in the numbers of fish caught. We could, of course, go back to the turn of the

century, when fishing in this area was like the early gold rush, and you could literally walk across the backs of the salmon proceed ing up the river to spawn. These were the colorfIl days when there was open warfare between the many canneries located nearby. Karluk River today, despite it's lessening in production, is perhaps the worlds greatest producer of fish, according to LindSley, figured according to size.
 We quote a few figures at ran dom from the statistics compiled by the FWS. In 1921, a total of }, 3,l43,000 red salmon were record ed, 1,5O0,000 of which escaped to the spawning grounds and 1,643,000 were caught by the fish ermen, In 1926 there was greater yield. 2,553,00 escaped, 2,387,0O were caught for total of I, ,e2O, ,O00. We could give, you figures for every year since, but those for 1854 and 1855 illustrate the sharp

assregards the opening day at Kar- lux, but it is expected to be slow, gaining momentum as the season progresses. The red salmon season ends July 21. The fishing season in the rest of the Kodiak region begins July g, and with closures in beween, continues until Septem- Der 30.

lesSening of the yield. Two years ago the escapement was 326,614 salmon, with 133,66O caught, and in 1855 385,319 escaped and 20, ,903 were caught. As you see, we don't talk any more in the terms of mil. lions, Now it is only thousands.
 You will note in the above fig ures the escapement of fish totals 5U per cent or more of the total salmon recorded. This is according to a law enacted by Congress June 6, 1924. Further, the act provides for an incr eased escapement should the run of fish continue to diminish.
 Fishing for Red salmon, of course, is only one phase, and the small one, of the complete salmon fishing activities. Now we get back into the millions again. In 1855, 11,478, 121 salmon of all species were caught and packed in the Ko- diak area. Catching the fish by seine nets yielded the most fish. 7,803, ,108 pinks were processed from this method. 2,672,91 from traps and 318,144 from gill nets were garnered. In this year, the Kodiak area, as is well-known, en- joyed particularly good fishing in comparison to other regions. As comparison with 1854, it might be pointed out the total yield was 9,851, ,496 in that year. This is for all species and include Reds, Kings, Pinks, Chums and Cohoes.
 Though there has been decline in the yield hereabouts, the de cline is not as marked as in that of other fishing areas throughout Alaska. The rich productiveness of the Kodiak Island area in the over all picture is borne out by the fact that 42 per cent of the Pinks caught in Alaska were taken from the waters hereabouts. This region in the years from 1925 to 1852 averaged about 10 per cent of the salmon caught in Alaska. The pinks over the same period aver aged 14.2 per cent.
 This huge crop is harvested mainly by manpower from Kodiak itself and the small villages dot ting the island, with percentage of boats and men from the States. 440 units of seine gear were em- ployed last year. 1919 fishermen were registered. 939 of these were residents of the island and 680 were non-residents who come here yearly to fish. CannerieS dot the island of Kodiak at Uyak, Uganik, Olga, Karluk, Ouzinkie, to men, tion only few Then of course we have several local canneries-Hal- ferty's, Island Seafoods and King Crab, Inc.-the latter two switch ing over from processing King Crab. It is estimated that from 2000 to 2500 cannery workers are employed on the island.
 Thus you have picture of this huge industry that so vitally af- fleets the economy of this region. It is by no means complete, but serves to point out the importance of the silvery horde swirling about the island waters in their annual visitation which means dollars to the merchant, food to the table and livelihood to the fisherman and his family.
