Government Brief States Trap Owners Have No Loss, No Legal Claim, for Suit

the date Alaska achieved state- hood" it said
 The officials also contend the industry has no lega! right to use the lands involved in the trap op. eration, and that it has been spe- officially prohibited from such use by the state.
 Propossl To Violate Law
 Ear. then, from permitted peaceable possession of a public territory" the brief stated, ''these plaintiffs can claim nothing but proposal to violate law"
 Discussing the possible damage resulting to the industry from the prohibition, the brief contended the trap operators had full and fair warning" of the eventual demise in Alaska.
 'In addition to this, since l948, the number of traps operating in Alaskan salmon fishery has from year to year been reduced on a voluntary basis. It is questionable therefore if any new traps have been constructed in Alaska dur ing the past five, and perhaps the past 10 years.
 "lt is in addition the practice and custom in the industry to amortize the cost of the traps over a five-year period and to charge off the costs of the wire annually. Under these circuln- stances and without the present right to the sites, it is most diff cult to see how any irreparable injury is shown by these plain tiffs."
 The brief also conaended that if the case is to proceed. Alaska should be brought into it as a party. inasmuch as it deals "in- timately with the Constitution of and with the real property of the State of Alaska"

U. s. Ignores Soviet Threat to High
 Flying Transports
By SEYMOUR TOPPING

BERLIN, R - The U. s. Air Force served notice on the Soviets today it will go on flying high al- titude transports to West Berlin eff at any time military requirement is established"
 An Air Force spokesman made this statement shortly after a So- viet Embassy warning that com plications would arise if the United States persisted in flying planes to West Berlin at attitudes above 10000 feet.
 The spokesman said that if at any time a military requirement is established for transporting car- go or military personnel in or out of West Berlin, the high-altitude planes will be used.
 "The most efficient altitude for carrying cargo over relatively short runs is between 10000 and 3O.0OO feet, depending on winds and cargo" he added.
 A guarded statement from the Soviet Embassy hinted that explo- sive incidents might erupt in the three air corridors used by West ern planes into the isolated city unless there is a settlement of the dispute which became public Tuesday.
 The U. S. State Department has declared that the United States will continue to fly planes into Berlin at whatever altitude it deems necessary.
 The dispute came into the open when the United States and the Soviet Union traded protests over the flight of a U. s. Air Force transport into West Berlin last Friday.
 The transport, turbojet flying at its normal cruising altitude )f about 10000 feet - was buzzed by three Soviet MIG jets on both its inbound and return flight to West Germany.

Legislature Looks To April II As Last
 Day Of 1859 State Lawmaking Session

tance kills a separate Senate measure on the same problem.
 The new bill calls for the De- partment of Public Works to work out a long range highway pro- gram and stipulates that the Gov ernor should submit periodic re- ports to the Legislature on the progress.
 The bill also provides that motor fuel taxes be deposited in spe- cial highway fund to be spent by the Public Worke Department for matching purposes in a road con- structiOn program.
 Division of gasoline taxes was the key issue in the debate. Pres ently state law requires spending of the taxes within the districts in which they are collected as much as practical. The discarded Senate bill would have divided the funds equally among the four districts of the state.
 This provision would have in- creased the revenue in the North western part of the state which seeks early construction of road from Nome to Fairbanks.
 The only votes against the com promise solution, which now goes to the House, came from William Beltz, Eben Hopson, John McNees and Lester Bronson.

Alaska Steam Plans Cut In Service To Bristol Bay
SEATTLE, N

SEATTLE, N -, The Alaska Steamship Co. said Tuesday it has scheduled only three voyages to the Bristol Bay area this year, all by the MS Coastal Rambler.
 R. c. Rose, traffic manager for Alaska Steam, said the ahbre- viated 1859 Bristol Bay schedule may be cut even further because of the closure of the bay to com- mereial salmon fishing this year.
 The Coastal Rambler will sail from Seattle for Bristol Bay on May 28, July 9 and August 20, Rose said.
 While the three trips represents a cut of only one trip from the number scheduled last year, it does not give full picture of the extent of the service cutback.
 Two of last years trips were made by Liberty-type ships, which have a cargo capacity 50 per cent more than ships of the Coastal Rambler class.

WASHINGTON, H - The gov- ernment asked the district court yesterday to reject a suit brought by Alaska fish trap owners seek ing to upset ban on their op- erations.
 In a reply brief asking dismissal of the industry action. Secretary of the Interior Seaton and Com missioner Suemela of the Fish and Wildlife Service said they had no legal alternative but to prohibit operation of the salmon traps in Alaska.
 "It is the further position of the defendant officials that the plaintiffs have no standing to sue in the cause, are without irrepar- able injury and are barred from relief by other principles of equity" the brief stated.
 Had No Alternative
 In contending that they had no alternative but to prohibit trap operations, the two officials noted that Alaskans in adopting the pro- posed Constitution in 1856 had approved an ordinance outlawing fish traps in Alaskan waters: that Congress had approved this Con- stitution in passing the bill giving Alaska statehood, and that the statehood act also gave Alaska control of its coastal lands under the submerged lands act. Furthermore, the brief noted, the final section of the statehood bill specified that all acts or parts of acts in conflict with its provi- sions were thereby repealed. ''It is the position of the Sec retary therefore, that any regu- lation promulgated by him prior to the admission of the union in conflict with the fish trap prohi- bition above recited was void as of

JUNEAU, tRf - It looked today as if Alaska's first legislative ses- sion will wind up its affairs by April II.
 The Legislative Policy Commit tee held two sessions yesterday and apparently gave its blessing to a resolution sponsored by Sen. McNabb of Fairbanks, which calls for adjournment on or before April II.
 The Senate unanimously passed a House bill earlier yesterday which appropriates $76,l20 for legislative expenses through April IS. Before its passage, Sen. Al Owen said:
 "I think we may not have to MSe all of the money .. we may complete our work earlier"
 The major roadblock to adjourn ment is passage of the general fund appropriation bill expected to total 26 million dollars. The bill is being reviewed by the joint senate-House Finance Committees and probably will be reported out for House action early next week.
 Another big legislative problem was disposed of yesterday when Senators approved Senate com mittee substitute for a House bill on highway planning. The accep-

 Land Reservation for TOwnsite Area

aside permanently for the group The reservation would be effec- tive for possibly 60 days only, to accommodate members whose ar rival in Alaska was delayed.
 Reservation of the townsite also would qualify the group to receive surplus government equip ment such as hospital and fire fighting supplies, bulldozers and the like, Broomfield said.
 The importance of such assist ance was indicated by an SIS, ,0O0 estimate the group recently re- ceived for air transportation of a bulldozer into the area.
 Each of the 200-plus families to make up the June caravan Is re- quired to demonstrate availability of a minimum of $3,000 cash. While this is well under govern ment recommended levels, the group hopes to offset this by its cooperative efforts.
 None of the group Is going to Alaska with the idea of finding a job. Members plan to function as cooperative until all have received title to their land under the homestead laws.
 The Michigan congressman Is pressing the Agriculture Depart ment to permit distribution of surplus food stocks to groups such as the '59ers as a means of en- couraging settlement in Alaska, as well as seeking more fexibility for group migrations under the homestead laws.
