Cod Fish Invade Shores

Another species of fish which
was taken in large quantities
this past winter was the Allan
tic cod fish. The cod is mainly a
deep water fish and seldom
comes close to Delaware shores.
This fish was sought by both
commercial and party boat fish
ermen. However, the CONNER
cial men brought in the largest
quantities of this excellent food
fish. Commercially the cod is
taken with a trot line. This trot
line is similar to those used by
commercial crabbers; the chief
difference being the presence of
the baited hooks. In an inter-
view with Captain Divide Willett
at Indian River it was learned
that these cod averaged approx
imately eight pounds, and some
weighed as much as Is pounds.

Mitchell and Martin charged
that the United States Govern

kept it secret because the eli

known to the American peo-

Yesterday a Defense Depart

the Government had kept this
Mitchell-Martin letter under

August. He said:

Defector Case Secrecy
Likened to U-2Incident
BY JAMES MARROW
Associated Press News Analyst

Once again Russia has forced
this country to do what it did
in the U-2 spy case-admit the
whole story only after the So
viets exposed it to the rest OF
the world.
This time it involves two
young mathematicians = Will
liam H. Martin and Bernon F.
Mitchell-who detected to Rus
sia from their jobs in the highly
secret National Security Agency.
It raises question since this
Government could have taken
the sting out of Russian propa-
ganda by revealing the truth
before the Russians had a
chance to, why didn't it do so?
Batting the Trap
It failed in the same way
when U-2 Pilot Frances Gary
Powers and his plane were
brought down over Russia last
May. When Russian Premier
Khrushchev revealed the down.
ing, he said the plane had been
spying.
Not knowing whether Mr..
Khrushchev was guessing or
could prove what he said, the
State Department denied Pow
erS was on a spy mission. AS it
turned out Mr.. Khrushchev had
been merely batting the trap
for such a denial by withhold
ing all he knew.
Then he revealed Powers had
been captured alive and had
admitted the spying. The State
Department then admitted the
spying, too.
Last August 1 the Defense
Department announced it was
searching for Martin and
Mitchell who were overdue,
after vacation, in their jobs at
NSA, which is involved in very
secret communications and
codes.
Letter Kept Secret
The department said the two
men, both bachelors and long
time friends who had served in
the Navy together in the mid
195Os, had flown to Mexico City
June "a. They were traced to
Cuba.
On August 5 the Defense De-
partment said 'it must be as

Mr.. Kishi in Town

On his last visit here, in June OF
1857, Premier Nobusuke Kishi Of Japan
declared that he had come to the United
States to consolidate "the bonds Of true
partnership and to strengthen and
deepen even further the mutual under
standing already existing between our
countries" And now he is with US again,
this time to sign a treaty leaving no
room for doubt about the firmneSS Of
Japanese-American ties.
The new pact, which replaces the
one of 1851 and which is to remain
in force for at least ten years, is the
product of many months of negotla-
ton In it's essentials, it is the same as
the treaties of mutual security in effect
between the United States and mem
berS of the Atlantic community. 1t gives
the japanese unequivocal assurances
that our country will come to their aid
in the event that they are attacked, and
it makes them equal partners with us
partners with decisive voice regard
ing actions to be taken if war should
come-in what amounts to defensive
alliance to uphold freedom against the
threat of Communist aggression in Asia.
In that respect, the treaty serves
as a striking measure of how Japan
and the United StateS-despite having
been mortal enemies in a terrible war
not many years ago-have moved into
an era of friendship and cooperation.
Nothing could better illustrate times
capacity to heal wounds and work great
changes in the history Of nations, and
in international moods and relation
ships. Of course, as indicated by the
mobS of extreme leftwing students who
demonstrated violently against his cur
rent visit to our country, the Japanese
Premier may face some trouble when
the new pact comes up for parliament
tary ratification, but the opposition is
not likely to get very far.
This is so because the great ma
jority of the japanese people seems to
stand Solidly behind Mr.. KiShi'S Liberal
Democratic government, and he there
fore can be reasonably sure of receiving
strong support from Parliament on the
treaty issue. In any case, the people Of
our city and Nation welcome him now
as an old friend and a resolute leader
who stands unwaveringly on The side Of
freedom.

provides sufficient EVIDENCE rise in
gross national product from $285 billion
in 1850 to $3.50 billion in 1859. Although
price increases accounted for much of
the rise in dollar volume of goods and
services, adjustment to the price changes
shows that the real growth rate during
the period averaged 3.8 per cent annual
ly. Current projections on the same
basis indicate that the $700-billion level
will be pierced by 1870 with estimates
for the current year above the $500
billion mark.
Giving big push to 1860 estimates,
however, were the measurements of
spectacular recovery in December-when
the steel industry was back in operation
under the Taft-Hartley injunction. For
that month, the Federal Reserve Board
index of production jumped 5.75 per cent
the largest monthly gain since August,
1852, also following steel strike. For
the past month, also, employment reach
ed a record December total of nearly
65.7 million while unemployment drop
ped by 100000 to under 3.6 million. Both
of these were contrary to normal De-
cember trends.
Many factors impossible to foreSee
may upset economic forecaStS-either
short or long term. In the domestic pic
ture, for example, possibility of rail-
road strike, falling farm income and
showdown in residential construction
currently are "beariSh" items. Even so,
industry in general seems assured of a
booming half-year and perhaps longer.
