You can cruise the Chesapeake Bay as Capt.

Ban on Fish Traps Hailed By Most As Step Forward

WASHINGTON, R - Secretary of Interior Seaton's ban on the general use of fish traps in Alas ka waters this coming season drew varying comment Monday.
 The move was called both real istic and a thWarting of the intent of Congress.
 The favorable comment, by Rep. Ralph Rivers, was typical of that of other members of the Alaskan Congressional delegation.
 Rep. Thomas M. Pelly R-Wash saw the decision as going against the wishes of Congress in amend ing the statehood bill last year to retain jurisdiction over Alaska's fish and wildlife in the federal government.
 Rep. Jack Westland R-Wash), who offered the statehood amend ment, and Rep. Thor c. Tollefson R-Wash agreed that one of it's purposes had been to provide a period of orderly transition for trap removal.
 Tollefson recalled that trap operators at a conference with Seaton had warned that immediate elimination of traps would result in loss of more than a million dol lars in the revenues for the new state as well as employment for about 700 resident Alaskans.
 Pelly also assailed Seaton's de- cision as resulting from a "monu- mental piece of political stupidity !. and the prize political blum der of 1958."
 He said he referred to assur- ances which the Secretary gave Alaskans last fall while campaign ing for election of Republican can didates in the new state.
 Alaska's Sen. Ernest Gruening said Although the decision to eliminate traps is long overdue in the eyes of most Alaskans, it is a great step forward"
 His colleague, Sen. Bob Bartlett said Seaton should be congratu- lated"
The Nome nugget., 1959-03-11

JUNEAU, tR - Biggest news rocketing around this capitol city Monday was the announcement that fish traps have been banned by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries of the Fish and Wild life Service.
 Members of the House greeted the news with an ovation and in the Senate Al Owen, Ugani Bay, called the fish trap ban almost as important as statehood"
 The regulations, announced in Washington, D. C., will permit operation of II traps owned by native tribes.
 "That just about makes it una nimous," acting Governor Hugh Wade said.
 Previously, state officials had taken steps to prevent the use of fish traps, but under terms of the statehood act the Fish and Wild life Service retained control of fishing regulations in Alaska for at least year. There was some question as to what the agency would do in regard to the traps.
 The Governors office and mem .bers of the Legislature say it seems likely the new regulations will be submitted to a court test. The managing director of the Alaska salmon industry, however, had no immediate comment
 w. c. Arnold, fishing industry official at Seattle, reserved com ment until he has received a copy of the regulations.
 One big question was left un- answered by the regulations. That was - Whats going to happen at Bristol Bay?
 FWS said last December it might be necessary to ban all fishing in the area this year to allow more salmon to escape. Last week, however, there were indi- cations a total ban might not be

Eisenhower Puts Defense of Country Above All Else'

WASHINGTON, LR - President Eisenhower WIS quoted today as saying he is convinced his defense program meets the needs of the situation despite the alarms voiced by some Congressional Democrats.
 Republican Congressional lead CTS reported after their regular weekly White House session that Eisenhower also said he of course puts the defense of the country ahead of everything else.
 There have been suggestions from Democratic critics that Els enhoWer was so bent on balancing the budget that he was ready to weaken defenses in order to do it.
 The defense program was thor oughly reviewed, the COP leaders said, during a 2A-hour interview said, during a 2M-hour meeting with the President.
 The review was against the background of mounting demands among some Democrats the de- fense spending be increased, and more manpower provided for the armed services.

Income Tax Big For Its Age
HOW CAN A middle age birthday - not yC M o'c\ Iic4T0cc

HOW CAN middle age birthday not yours Cor AA your spouses) - distress you?
 Could be when it's the 46th anniversary of fed eral income tax, this year.
 For at 46, income tax has reached proportions that make it a most painful subject.
 At birth in 1913 income tax nicked Americans only 82 cents apiece Today the per capita tax bite is $397.
 In it's infancy income tax rates ranged from one to sixty per cent Today they begin at 20 and to 91 per cent.
 Forty-six years ago, the personal exemption was $3,O0O. It is only $500 today.
 A single person making $5000 in 1913 paid $20 federal tax Today he pays $818 the income.
 Sure, the per capita income in 1913 only $358, and today it is $1 ,940 But while per capita income has increased less than 512 times in 46 years per capita tax payments have increased nearly 485 times
 That big 1913 dollar went lot further then than now - both for MT. Citizen and Uncle Sam.
 Uncle collected $8O 900 900 in corporate and indi vidual income leves in 1913 toward federal budget of $715, 900 000
 Todays proposed $77 billion budget for fiscal 1860 is nearly 108 times bigger Who will foot the bill? Taxpayers, naturally.
 The total 1913 tax take was distributed 7O1a per cent for state and local governments and 29 per cent for federal government. Today with Americans asking of Uncle Sam the distribution ratio is reversed.
 And if you think the income tax anniversary is painful reminder, wait until you get the birthday bill - March 18th
