 Committee reports were on the agenda of the Matanuska Valley Gambler of Commerce at their noon luncheon meeting yesterday at the Frontier Cafe. Al Brooks and Betty Mears, members of a committee study ing the school bond issue pro- posal, gave a report of their committees activities the past few weeks. Facts and figures are being compiled that will verify necessity and cost of various proposals on the ballot, which was defeated in the Nov. 6 election.

 Lemon then went into h S house, got his weapon, and fired into the air to both sides of the men, in an effort to frighten them away from h S property. Lemons driveway and yard were posted with "No Trespassing" signs at the time.
 The Wasilla man said that fishermen constantly trespass on his property during fishing season; that his three children enjoy playing in the creek that runs through his land, and that they are frequently ordered out of the creek by passing an- glers, and that his dog has been stoned and kicked. He added that neighboring families who live in the area of t h creek suffer the same trespassing difficulties every year during fishing season.

The 1863 Fur Rendezvous, slated for February 19 through "A, will feature two queen con- tests, according to a decision reached by the executive com mittee of Greater Anchorage, Inc, at a recent meeting.
 w. J. Wellenstein, GAL presi- dent, has indicated that the two contests will bracket Fur Rendezvous week.
 The selection of Miss Fur Rendezvous will take place on the evening of the 18th as the major opening event of the celebration. The following Sat urday evening, February 25, will be highlighted by a contest to name Miss Alaska, who for the past four years has been chosen in July. As the Anchor age area representative ln the latter contest, Miss Fur Ren- dezvous will compete with other young ladies from throughout the state.
 The winner of the Miss Alas ka contest will be sent by Greater Anchorage, Inc, to the Miss America Pageant in At lantic City next September.

ter World War II, the threat to North Pacific stocks from Ja- pan was almost non-existent, because the Japanese fleet was nearly destroyed. However, to- day Japan leads the world in the fishing industry, with Peru second, Red China third, the Soviet Union fourth, and the United States fifth. In ten years we have dropped from third place to fifth, McGinnis said. He attributed the drop to change in our eating habits, and pointed out that fish is the staple diet of. the Japanese, whereas ours is meat.
 Under international law, nation owns the area three miles out from shore, and there is nothing in the law which protects our interests farther out, he said. Alaskans have. ex- pressed an interest in a twelve mile limit, which McGinnis said he felt could be detrimen- tai, not only to Alaska but to the rest of the nation, since it would in effect shut American vessels out of some strategic areas of the world, and serious iy affect the security and the striking power of the United States. On the other hand, he said, some California tuna fishermen are fighting for the privilege of going within the three-mile limit in some areas
 of South America : =, l After the close of World Wal II, the United States was faced with the problem of drawing up a treaty which would es- tabliSh reconstruction pro- gram for Japan and establish friendly relations with the Jap- anese people over the years. At the same time, the fisheries in- terests created a strong lobby for the protection of Northwest U. s. fishermen. -
 The result was two treaties, the second dealing with the handling of North Pacific fish ing stocks. The treaty, official ly adopted in June, 1853, estab- lished a commission made up of four members from each of three nations-Canada, United States, and Japan. In addition, 30 to 40 advisors sit in on com mission conferences. Each sec tion has one vote, and each country has the power of veto that is, all decisions must be unanimously approved, Me GinniS said.
 Governor Egan has been critical of the fact that the commission conference meet ings in Seattle the week of Nov 12 were kept secrett Nc Ginnis stated, and went on to explain that the commission does not wish to negotiate. in the presence of the Soviet Un- ion or other governments not included in the North Pacific treaty; that other nations should not have some of the data, which is classified infor- nation; and that private indus try would also be very inter ested in knowing where the best fishing grounds are.

Scientific Reports
 Back Ha|ibut Move

Legislation will be required by the United States, Canadian and Japanese governments ap- proving the recommendations made by the North Pacific Fisheries Commission before they can be legally adopted, Dr. Fred McGinnis, president of Alaska Methodist University and member of the commis- sion, said Friday, Nov. 30, at a dinner meeting of the Palmer League of Women Voters.
 The decision to open the East Boring Sea to Japanese fisher men for hailbut was made, ac- cording to McGinnis, on the basis of reports from four member scientific committees from each of the three nations, each committee stating that it could not demonstrate that there is any basis to ask con- tinued abstention by the Jap anese. At present the Japan csc take bottom fish and other stocks in which we are not in terested from the East Boring Sea, but by the terms of the 1863 treaty are obligated to throw back any halibut they catch. Salmon in waters east of the 175th degree of longi- tude remain off limits to the Japanese.
 In negotiations to regulate fishing in the Gulf of Alaska the Japanese asked permission to send Is trawlers to the are; next summer and said they | would like to keep any halibu' they might take. This request was refused by the United States delegation, who stated they would agree to no more than four vessels, and these to be for research purposes only, to help the Japanese find ways to harvest the fish the United States doesn't want. They spec flied that American and Cana dian scientists must be on board each vessel to evaluate the effects of trawling in the North Pacific and the Gulf of Alaska. and that a joint report would be made on the findings. The Japanese agreed to these conditions, the ANU president reported.
 The decision to remov Queen Charlotte Island herring from the abstention list has considerably exercised British Columbia fishermen, McGinnis said, but added that the her ring stocks will be under con- stant study, and if it appears that they are being depleted, they will be put back on the abstention list.
 "There is more known about fish stocks in the North Pacific than in any other place in the world today" McGinnis said.
 He outlined the history of Japanese fishing activities in the North Pacific, beginning with the first Japanese excur- sions into the Bristol Bay area in the mid-thirties, when Cor dell Hull, then secretary of state, delivered an ultimatum which forced the Japanese out of the area.

Braden Urges
Cuba Invasion
BY the Associated Press


Spruille Braden, a former
United States Ambassador to
Cuba, said today an invasion
by United States military forces
is the only way to rid the Ca
ribbean country of commu-
niSm.
If we wipe out the Com
munistS in Cuba" Mr.. Braden
said, they will fail everywhere
else in the Americas"
Mr.. Braden told the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
in a prepared statement that
approval of President Ken
nedy's 10-year, $40 billion ALI
ance for Progress program of
aid to Latin American coun-
tries would be "a criminal
waste of the taxpayers money"

nism out of Cuba and then

sphere, including our own coun-
try. :"

Representative Kowalksi, DEM
ocrat of Connecticut, challenged
the idea that the trainees work
for six months. Mr.. Kowalski
a former Army colonel, re-
marked that after young men
get two weeks of leave, they
"are sitting around for six
weeks on a so-called on-the-joh

Mr.. Kowalski asked for
Pentagon reaction to a nine

ice for youths, who thereby
avoid the draft. so that "the

some limitation was necessary

Opponents of the limitation
declared it would throw an
unjust and heavy financial
burden on the private institu-

dicating that large universities
need at least % per cent for
indirect expenses in admins
tering research grants and that
smaller schools should be al
lowed at least a 80 per cent lee
way. The proposed limitation
would reduce the Army's re-

bill awaited the outcome of
SkirmiSheS today on how much
Navy work should go to pri-
vate Shipyards and how much
money should go to universities

The Georgia Democrat con-
tended yesterday that the APP

adopting a policy of direc-
ton in limiting funds for Navy
ship work that could be done
in Navy shipyards. He re-
minded the House that earlier
this year he was criticized for
charging that Defense Secre-
tary Mcnamara tried to die
tate to Congress on the BIO
plane program.
He said he would welcome a
showdown today on his amend
ment to strike out the bills
provisions that not more than
S3l1 million could be spent for
repair and alteration of Navy
vessels in Navy shipyards and
not more than $299 million for
conversion work in such yards.
He warned that this limita-
ton would throw 5000 Navy
shipyard workers out of jobs.
He said it would deprive the
Secretary of the Navy Of his
bargaining position in allo-
eating work between private
and Navy shipyards.
