Nations art.
OF the other three collections,
one specializes heavily in the
first effective American art
movement Of the century, '"The
Eight" or the "Ash-CanI
School," as they were known
from their subjects Of city
streets. These painters include
John Sloan, William Glackens,
George Luks. Everett Shinn,
Robert Henri, Maurice Prend-
ergast, Arthur B, Davies and
Ernest lawson. The other col
lections fill in the areas al
ready covered through about
1850 and are especially strong
in works by the new American
painters who came into prom
inence in that year, such abb
stract eXpressionistS as Jack

Motherwell.
What all this adds up to is
an array Of American painting
of this century equalled only
by the collections Of the Metro

Bristol Bay Salmon Prospects Expected to be Poor Next Season

Expectations that the 1862 Bris- tol Bay red salmon season will fall short of the runs experienced there in=the- past two years, has been disclosed by Walter Kirk ness. CommiS Ssioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
 kHkness said the prediction re- suits from the joint efforts of the scientific staffs of the Department of Fish and Game, the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries of the U. $. Fish and WiIdIife Service. and he Fisheries Research Institute of the diversity of Washington. These three agencies are all cur rentiy pa tieiating in eoordnated salmon research in that area.
 The low expeeted return ia 1862 can be attributed to a eonlbin- atzon q factors including low es- opponents ia some systems in 19- ana 1a58 1ew aierations of young salmon from these es- eapements, and also to an unus- nailx nigh mortality in the sea to the young salmon which descend ed in 1859 and will return as ad- tlts in 1862 after 3 years of ocean hfe@ They seem to be only about "ne quarter as plentiful as other data would indicate. This nor tality evidently took place some time between the first and second summer of ocean life.

come from this total.
 The proportion of Bristol Bay fish which the Japanese fleet takes. Kirkness said, appears to depend upon f1l the time when the Japanese begin to fish; @ how far to the eastward the fleet comes; and t2) how much gear they fish.
 We also know that they used quite a bit of monofilament ny lon netting last year. and that their plans cal for an increase in tzat tyRe ef gear for this coming season. Because of conservation requirements. this new gear has been outlawed in Alaska and else where on the Pacific Coast. We're afraid of what it may do to our stocks on the high seas.
 Barring any impact whatso- ever of the high seas fishery, the size Of the catch in the var ious districts of Bristol Bay can be expected to range from .only fair to nothing at alI.' If the Japanese do dip into our runs. we probably will not have enough left for an adequate seeding of the spawning beds, even if our fishermen refrain from fishing altogether
 In conclusion, Kirkness stated that at the recent International North Pacific Fisheries Commits sion meetings in Toyko. the above facts were strongly pointed out to the Japanese by the American Section. It was emphasized to them that restraint in high seas salmon fishing during 1862 in areas containing Bristol Bay red salmon was called for. both be- cause of the requirements of con- servation and because of the ee- onomie effect such a fishery would have.

To BoIk Fake Attorneys

The amazing ease with which a
former convict duped the local bar and
courts into accepting him as "L. A.
Harris" legitimate attorney-at-law, has
shown clearly the urgent need for better
methods Of preventing such impostorS
from getting away with their frauds
Harris" was but one of many aliases
used by this criminal, whose police rec
ord covers more than 80 years. The
gravity of the fraud is amplifed by the
possibility that many Of the cases he
handled In court may have to be retired.
District Courts Chief Judge Pine
was justified In directing that safe
guards against recurrence of such
offenseS be devised without delay. Con-
sideration should be given at least to
investigation of the references which
applicants for the bar submit and per-
hapS also to photographing and finger
printing applicants. Such means Of
identification should not be resented
by reputable lawyers, since the proce
dures would help to protect the in
tegrity of the bar and the dignity of

mortgage proposals to provide private
sales and rental housing for low-income
families. We believe that the 40-year
mortgages, as adopted by the Senate,
are unrealistic, and that the House
provision for maximum 35-year mort
cages for sales housing is at least a
slight improvement which should be
adopted in conference. At best, however,
this program faces an uncertain future,
and it is well that its authority extends
on an experimental basis for only two
years.
Another pioneering provision of the
House bill, unfortunately not widely
understood, would provide $100 million
in grants to help purchase open spaces
in the sprawling congestion of urban
areas. Spread among the Nation at
large, $100 million would not 60 far.
But this is proposed to be seed" money,
designed to stimulate local areas to
provide most of the cost. The Federal
grants, for example, could cover no
more than 80 per cent of the cost of
any project. In addition, metro areas
would have to adopt region-wide devel-
opment plans in order to qualify for
Federal help. This is worthy program,
which. we think should be accepted by
the Senate confereeS.

Boost for the Parkway

President Kennedy's renewed re-
quest for completion Of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway comes
at a most propitious time, for con-
gressional conference committee now
is weighing the fate Of the parkway.
We hope the presidential pressure for
favorable action on the parkway's final
link in Prince Georges County will
save the project from threatened
demise.
Mr.. Kennedy pointed out in letter
to Interior Secretary Udall that most
of the parkway has been built or is in
process of being built, as planned more
than 80 years ago. 81 am most anxious"
he said, that the final development
contemplated under this (Capper-
Cramton) Act will be completed"
The Senate has voted an appropri-
alton of $1.2 million of matching money
for the Prince Georges section, having
been assured that Prince Georges
County already has pledged a similar
amount. The House, however, elimi-
mated the parkway item from the
proposed Interior Budget. But it would
be shame to leave the parkway un-
finished-a prospect which could be-
come reality in view of plans Of
builders to develop the charted right
of way for subdivisions and apartments.

Victory in the House

Apart from the notable legislative
victory which it represents for the
Kennedy administration, there are two
major aspects of the housing bill as
approved by the House which bear
remembering.
s On the one hand, there is much in
the huge $49-billion bill which is not
new. Much of the money, including the
50 billion for urban renewal and the
$1.2 billion for college housing, is for
programs which already are well estab-
lished. And instead OF dealing with
authorizations for these programs on
an annual basis, as has been the practice
in recent years, the omnibus bill covers
the needs of several years at single
bite. But the House-paSsed bill also
drastically broadens Federal aid in
numerous categories of housing and
plows virgin territory with still other
provisions which are untested and
frankly experimental in nature.
OF these, the most controversial are
the long term, low down payment

Invoking Toft-HortIey

President Kennedy has taken the
first step under the Taft Hartley Act
to obtain an Injunction against the
crippling maritime strike. And, accord
ing to Secretary of Labor Goldberg, the
President has done this "distaSteful as
is the law to him and to me-"
Doubtless it is true that the Taft
Hartley Act is diStasteful to the Presi-
dent, and 1t certainly is distasteful to
Mr.. Goldberg, who, as union lawyer,
fought against it. But this is beside
the point. The important thing is that
the strike imperilS the national health
and safety, and this "distaSteful" law
affords the only means Of bringing the
strike to at least temporary end. AS
far sS we are concerned, the country
would be in bad way If it were not
on the statute books.
The maritime strike involves a
complex Of interunion throat-cutting,
economic demands and an attempt to
organize the crews Of American owned
ships flying foreign flagS-the so-called
"flagS Of necessity" The prospect Of an
early settlement through what we
euphemiStically speak of as the "pro-
cesSeS Of collective bargaining" is very
dim. The unions, to say the least, have
been arrogant in their rejection of
Government efforts to encourage a
settlement. In time, their strike will
strangle vital segment of the Nations
commerce. This is intolerable, and the
President, however reluctantly, had no
choice except to move against it. If the
strike should be settled in the next few
days, all well and good. But If not the
injunction will have to be obtained-and
this Notwithstanding the threadbare
union charge that the Taft Hartley Act
Is q "Slave labor" law.
It Is quite true, however, that Taft
Hartley can assure only an 80-day
resumption of work. After that the
unions will be free to strike again, and
the Government, legally speaking, will
be powerless. To us, this is a point
which argues not for the softening Of
Taft Hartley, but for tougher legislation
to deal with abuse of union power at
the expense of the national interest.
II 1t is fact, as the President repeatedly
has said, that the United States is
being challenged today as never before,
there can be no excuse or justification
for politicking which temporizeS with
strikes that weaken us as Nation.

Gun Licenses

Mr.. w. Plampin's letter to
The Star advocating the re-
gistration of guns indicates
that he is ignorant of the
Constitution and would ap-
parently like to see the right
OF the American people to
bear arms nullified.
He compares gun registra-
ton with automobile regis
tration and hunting and
fishing licenses when in fact
there is no comparison. Auto
mobile registration and Ii
cenSing serve as q source of
revenue for the construction
and maintenance of high
ways which, in case Mr..
Plampin isn't aware, are
much easier to drive on than
the fields and forests. Fish
ing and hunting licenses
serve as a source of revenue
for the conservation and
propagation Of wildlife,
which in turn are to be har-
vested by the licensee. All of
the other licenses and regis
trations, lie. electricians,
plumbers, ETC., mentioned by
Plampin, are businesses, and
I'm sure that anyone manu-
featuring or selling guns also
pay their fair share of taxes
through licenses.

For a Safe Fourth

NoG 700 many years ago
we celebrated Independence
Day with spectacular, dan
gerous fireworks. There was
seldom a city or town where
some child or adult didn't
lose a finger, a hand, or an
eye. Laws were finally passed
governing the manufacture,
sale, and use Of fireworks.
This brought to an end an
old-fashioned American
custom.
Now we celebrate the
Fourth in a different man
ner. We no longer compete
with each other by setting
off fireworks to see who can
make the most noise.
This year over the long
Fourth of July week end
thousands of motorists will
take to the highways for a
scenic trip, a picnic, or a
vacation. Sure, there will be
competition and fireworks.
but not the old-fashioned
kind. Instead we will have
that mad race to "get there
in a hurry" and there
will be resounding crashes of
tons Of steel. with cars COL
liding with other cars, cars
smashing into immobile OBJ
jects, cars catapulting across
the highway faster than sky
rockets.
Yes, the Fourth Of July
can easily become a celebra-
ton ito end all celebrations"
Tor some of us-and the end
may well be the end of a
lifetime.
What makes holiday driv-
ing different from ordinary
driving? The answer appears
to be in the attitude of holi-
day drivers. All too often the
common and understandable
carefree holiday spirit be-
comes distorted into careless
driving behavior.
The mad rush OF Fourth
OF July driving always takes
its toll. If only we would re-
member that a simple traffic
accident at low speed may
result only in a smashed fen
der, while the same accident
at high speed may lead to a
smashed life.
Let's make this Fourth of
July a peaceful rest-not a
rest in peace.

Navy Defender

With great interest I have
read the recent publicity
that the press has given to
Admiral Rickover's testimony
before Congressional COM
= mittees on the needs of the
Navy. All American citi-
zens proudly and CRATE
fully acknowledge his great
contribution to our country
in conceiving, designing and
carrying to completion the
nuclear submarines, but does
that make him sacroSanct,
and the ultimate arbiter on
how to raise children and
other matters?
AS the widow Of q Rear
Admiral Of the U. s. Navy,
who served his country for
nearly so years on active
service. I feel that I must file
a rebuttal. When Admiral
Rickover makes the state
ment that there are $4,000
officers in the Navy, he
leaves the impression that
these are line officers and
says that half Of them could
be shelved. This is far from
the case. From every gradu-
ating class Of the Naval
Academy, the top graduates
generally go into our Con-
struction Corps; then many
Of them elect to 60 into the
Marine Corps. or to our sub
marine school at New London
for duty on subs, or for train
ing in flying at the school
at Pensacola. Then the Navy
has q large Medical Corps.
Then there is our Pay Corps,
whose officers are trained in
accounting, and who look out
for the fiscal needs Of the
Navy. Then there is our Corps
Of Civil Engineers, who make
the plans, not only for all
the buildings but for the liv-
ing conditions of officers and
men afloat. All the officers Of
these different branches Of
the Navy are regular commits
stoned officers. Finally there
are the dedicated scientists,
who give their talents to the
Navy and make many sacri-
fices to further not only our
missile program but many
other projects.
Probably it is presumptuous
for a Navy widow to write
this letter but knowing how
reticent naval officers are to
express publicly, opinions that
may lead to controversies, I
felt impelled to do so.
