Mr.. Eames takes a dim view

However. George Miller, As

be too broad in spelling out

Mr.. Miller said some relig-

asked that the bill be confined
to those ministers who are au-
thorized to perform marriages

Change in Policy
O'Beirne appeared in Munic-

larceny charge in October,
1857. He pleaded not guilty,
but was found not guilty by
reason of insanity and was
sent to the hospital on the
basis of letters from st. Eliza
beths and from District Cen
eral Hospital.
Although one st. Elizabeths
letter said that O'Beirne was
without mental disorder" the
hospital refused to certify hin
for release because in Novem-
Der, 1857, a month after he was
committed to st. ElizabethS,
the hospital changed its
policy and decided that
O'Beirne's condition should
henceforth be classified as q
mental illness.

Speeches by fisheries biologist and labor relations counsellor served as the program for the weekly luncheon meeting of the Kodiak Rotary Club held Tuesday noon in the 49 Room.
 Bob Simon, biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game here, spoke to the group on his departments work in control ling the commercial fisheries in this area.
 Citing a pack worth SIP million in this area last year, $41a million, he said went to the fishermen, he went on to tell of methods and means of controlling the fisheries, to insure making it profitable for the present and in the years to come Men in airplanes are con- stantly checking streams for the latest habits of the fish. Weirs, he said, built into the streams, give an accurate count of escapement. Radio equipped stream guards keep track of the runs. "We get a a great deal of cooperation from those in the industry itself," he said. Tender deliveries are furn- ished us-these help us determine how many fish are in certain areas by these means we are able to keep our finger on top of the in- dustry."
 Simon praised the flexibility of the present method of controlling the fishery. The Commissioner can change the times allowed for fish ing at short notice, he said. The authority is delegated to the field men, who should be in the best pc sition to know. He cited an instance this year when the three-day fish ing season was altered when there

 Decisions have been made both ways = and cancelled-in recent weeks.
 Rep. Thomas M. Pelly (R-Wash.) who wants the contract opened to bids, has been pressing the depart ment for a decision. He told Post master General J. Edward Day in a recent letter:
