Russian Trawler Drags Over 15 Crab Pots

ANCHORAGE LR = A Russian trawler entered American king crab fishing grounds off Sitkinak Island Thursday and dragged over an estimated l5 pots being fished by the vessel Oceanic, an Ameri- can skipper said.
 Lloyd Cannon, who heads q ko- diak Marketing Assn. of conner cial fishermen and owns the Oceanic, a Kodiak boat, said he had been told of the pot loss by the vessels captain, Albert Peterson, by radio.
 Cannon said Peterson reported seeing lone Russian traWler drag "over the biggest part of his gear seven miles off the island, which is located off the southern tip of Kodiak Island.
 Kodiak fishermen are allowed to use up to 30 crab pots per boat Each pot is worth some S200.
 Cannon said that in addition to the loss of gear. there will be a two-week loss of fishing time while his vessel refits with new gear.
 Cannon said the Russians have been fishing some distance off shore in recent weeks and the ] trawler seen by Peterson was the first to move in close again.

Cuban Delegate Says Weapons Are Defensive

UNITED NATIONS, NY. R - Cuba declared today in the JUN. General Assembly that weapons on it's soil are "anti-colonial, anti ilnpcrialistic and defensive
 The statement by the Cuban delegate, Juan Juarbe, was touch ed off by a reference to Cuba made by Ahmed Similarity of Saudi Arabia. Shukairy, speaking in de- bate on colonialism, said if the United States is alarmed over weapons in Cuba there is ground also for alarm by other countries over weapons in Kenya and Alden, both British controlled areas.
 We wish 10 clarify that Cuba is not colony Juarbe said, and the weapons at present in Cuba are there for the defense of re- public that is free, sovereign and independent. y
 He said the weapons are for the defense of the Cuban people and aimed at the "death of US. i'm perialism and colonialism.
 The Cuban spoke as reports cir culated that the Soviet Union is baking at removal of Soviet bombers and pressing for Fidel Castro's five-point demands for ending the Caribbean crisis.

Some Doubt About 1t?

After an ugly fracas at Shaw Junior
High School recently, District school
official said: "We are investigating the
case and if we feel action is warranted,
we will take action"
This suggests that the official, John
Koontz, assistant superintendent in
charge of junior high schools, is in some
doubt about the need for action.
According to police, the facts are
that substitute teacher tried to break
up fight between two students. When
he collared one of the boys, the youth
reached toward his pocket and threat
ened the teacher. Police later found a
knife in the boys pocket. A second
teacher, attempting to intervene, was
cuffed and struck by one or more
students
The principal at Shaw, o. R. Rogers,
jr., deplored the lack of suitable dis
ciplinary measures, and commented:
What can we do? They ought to be
whipped like we were when I was a
boy"
If these are the facts, there can't
be much doubt about the need for
action by someone in position to take
action.

Peanuts Are Still Peanuts

No matter how one roasts them, pea
nuts are still peanuts, according to the
Food and Drug Administration. And,
whether "dry-roasted," roasted in oil,
or raw, the tasty goober is prime source
of calories. The FDA, long a friend of
the consumer and especially of the
dieter, is justified, therefore, in taking
steps to see that peanut munchers are
not misled as to the fat-producing pro-
clivitieS of the nuts.
We refer to the seizure by FDA in
spectors of two patches of so-called dry
roasted" peanuts which, the FDA says,
were mislabeled. It was asserted that
the labels gave the impression that per-
sons watching their weight could eat
the dry" peanuts with little fear of
consequences. Actually, FEDA experts
said, the dry" nuts were not signifi-
cantly lower in calories than those
roasted in OIL
Anyway, the calorie counters have
had their warning. But from what we
know of this unhappy group, peanuts
are likely to find their way, by stealth
or otherwise, into their diet. For pea
nut roasted by any process is a morsel
hard to resist.

Parking Trap

Bravo for you editorial Of
April 10 Parking Trap!
However. there were not
100 cars parked in that area
between 7th and 14th SITS.
at II O'Clock. I traversed the
lane nearest the controversial
strips at 11:15 am. that
morning Saturday in a
slow procession, taking about
20-25 minutes, and there were
two cars parked along the
way at that time. There may
have been 100 by IL o'clock.
However, there were at
least two policemen at each
intersection and rather than
mo alternative" they could
easily have approached the
obviously parking cars and
issued a verbal statement
that the spaces were not
parking spaces. But this
would have been too simple.
In my own procession
down the Avenue I was
obliged to follow, at this
snail's pace, a car with no
brake lights, but, of course,
the police would not be in
terested in that.

tors to the Nations Capital.

States and the West as a whole, and
this means that we-and the Russians
as we'll - must still reckon with the
enormous danger of Soviet-instigated
incidents In the Soviet-brewed Berlin
crisis that could conceivably "escalate"
into all-out nuclear and thermonuclear
war.
This is possibility that has loomed
large in the background of Mr.. Rusks
Geneva conversations with Mr.. Gromy-
ko, and undoubtedly it will loom equally
large in the talks the Secretary is about
to have here with Anatoly F. Dobrynin,

the principle before conStruc-
ting any more of our own on
the plan adopted. The equip
ment of the Merrimac shows
that there are good heads in
the Navy Department of the
South, and the gallant man
ner in which she was han
died in action is a token that
the Confederate courage is
still as high as ever. We
find that a wooden eSSel,
when matched against an
iron one, is literally as help
less as was predicted. The
Merrimac did actually knock
the Cumberland into match
es and in a very few min
utes. But when she was en-
countered by a ship of her
own class, an action of five
hours ensued with no great
damage to either side. Yet,
we cannot imagine tn a t
either of these vessels makes
any approach in strength or
power to the frigateS we have
built on this side of the At
lantic. The Monitor was to
be finished in 100 days, and
at a cost of less than Co.
900 pounds, while the urgent
needs of the Confederates
forbid us to believe that any
great amount of time or
money can have been expend-
ed on the Merrimac. Never
thelesS these extemporized
ironSides are sufficient to
give a character to the whole
war. and. if they had not
neutralized each other, either
of them would probably have
given a good account of an
entire squadron of the enemy.
What a sailing ship is to a
steamer, an ordinary steam
er is to an ironclad frigate.
1t will be remembered that
the Americans were slow to
recognize the new principle,
and most reluctant to adopt
it; but when the time for ac-
tion arrived, necessity made
itself felt and they have now
given the theory all the
practical confirmation it
needed. There is one con-
clusion. too, which we may
draw from the operations of
the American belligerents.
The alleged efficiency of
gunboats against heavier
vessels has been diSproved."
