 Another attempt is being made today. Russ Wright's cat was used to reposition the boat, and she is expected to float without trouble.
 Another boat also tied up at the dock made it safely into the small boat harbor. A third boat, the Parks XI, broke away from its mooring at Alaska Packers and drifted out to sea. Up to press time, it had not been located. The boat had just been overhauled.
 A fourth boat didn't fare even that well. This was the Hilder which sank at the Alaska Packers dock. The boat is owned by R. D. Van Buren. A salvage crew, headed by Fred Brechen, worked on the Hilder Thursday night.
 Reports have come in that two other boats met with disaster dur ing the blow. One, the Western, skippered by Dave Murphy, is re- ported lost. Coast Guard planes have been searching for it, but to date have not located any signs of the three men aboard or the boat. It was last seen at Jap Bay The Kruprianof, owned by George Strong, anchored to buoy at Port Wakefield, sank in about seven fathoms of water, pulling the buoy down with it. A salvage crew head ed by Bill Damery and including two skindivers, McLinn and Guy Powell, expect to attempt to locate it this afternoon.
 Wind damage in Kodiak was neg ligible. The Kodiak Electric Asso- citation crew fought power outages most of the night. Ole Johnson, manager of KEA, reported 15 power outages in the vicinity of D & A and Alaska Packers in fiveIhOlIr period. Main trouble was caused by salt spray. The high winds did some damage atop Pillar Mountain at the White Alice install lation.
 Two large windows at the Kodiak Motors blew in Thursday morning. Flying glass damaged brand new Falcon in the showroom.

JUNEAU (P)-Rep. Jay Ham mond (RINaknek) said Thursday he will introduce legislation de signed to protect Alaskas indepen- dent commercial salmon fishermen during low-cycle years.
 The bill, which has the backing of Sen. B. J. Logan (D-Cordova) chairman of the Senate Resources Committee, will be drafted so as to conform with the privileges and immunities clause of the United States constitution.
 In brief, the bill would permit the Fish and Game Department to limit fishing in specific areas to bonafide commercial fishermen un- der quota system when forecast is for a poor run; it would estab- fish a new class of fishermen known as bonafide commercial fishermen. The bill would establish the run average for given areas, then would establish cost of liv- ing index for areas, and upon that would establish at current fish price what would be considered a cost of living quota.
 For example," Hammond stated, "We might determine that 5000 salmon would provide an individ- ual fisherman with adequate in- come for a year. Bonafide fisher men, during short years, would have the right to fishing priority

New Scandals

Commerce Secretary Hodges
indicated today that he expects
revelations soon of more busi-

In a speech at the National
Press Club, Mr.. Hodges said,
however, that such scandals do
not represent the real spirit Of
American business" The real
spirit belongs to "the thousands
of businessmen who recognize
their public responsibility and
who run their affairs honestly
and ethically."
He said he was very concerned
by the black marks that buSi-
ness has been getting in the
news" because of the price-fix-
ing scandals. The conspiracy
in the electrical industry has
shocked the Nation" he said.
And l am very much afraid
that it is in for more shocks in
the months ahead"
Mr.. Hodges did not elabo-
rate, but the Justice Depart
ment and the Federal Trade
Commission have said pre-
viously that they would strictly
enforce antitrust laws.
Mr.. Hodges said he hopes
businessmen will adhere to q
code of ethical practices which
will be drawn up in the near
future.

That coup brought President
Charles de Gaulle to power.
Now the generals who helped
Gen. de Gaulle three years ago
accuse him Of violating his
pledge by his willingness to give
Algeria independence if that is
the choice of the Algerian
people.
Legion Reported Involved
According to reports filtering
from Algeria. the coup was
staged by elite Foreign Legion
paratroop regiments whose e
French officers bitterly oppose
Gen. de Gaulle's Algerian policy.
Added to their dismay at the
prospect Of another French re-
treat was fear that Algeria S
independence would end the
legion's existence. According to
the laws of France. Foreign
Legion units can only be sta
toned in overseas possessions.

France only a scattering Of
small islands overseas.
Apparently. shortly after the
coup, other units Of the French
army were joining the revolt.
A great number of army ca
reer officers bitterly resent
Gen. de Gaulle's self-determi-
nation plan and his willingness
to negotiate with the Moslem
rebels. They feel that French
withdrawal from Algeria will
be a death blow to the army's
pride.
Draftees serving in Algeria
did not oppose the 1858 coup,
and there is little chance they
will oppose their officers on a
large scale. Thus the fate OF
the army is in the hands OF its
officers.

ting through the army One
thing is certain-most French
career officers now stationed
in France and Germany have
served in Algeria and have
been at one time or other in
volved in an effort to keep it
French.
Since the January referen-
dunn approved Gen. de Gaulle's
Algerian policy, most officers
have been conscious that the
overwhelming mass Of French
men would oppose any military
coup.
Foreign Legion elements are
led by French officers and are
