GgM Along % ~ The
 Waterfront
By Karl Armstrong

Wednesday morning fellow popped into our office and advised us that some large odd-looking craft was coming into the bay. .. Do you guys know what it might be? he inquired. Without looking up from his typewriter, our witty editor, Bill Mason replied, "Its probably the Russians coming in to attend the public hearing" add ing grimly. "On second thought, it probably isn't them, they seemed to be we'll represented at the hearing by those fellows from w a hin gt on." Nobody laughed. It was too close to the actual truth.
 One fisherman leaving the court room at the close of the hearing was heard to remark, Eve heard about red herrings now I've heard pink Herrington!" Another who arrived at the hearings late

The Kodiak Mirrors story of Sept. 28 headlined Russian TraWl Fleet Forces Kodiak King CraD- berS Out of Prize Fishing Grounds brought rapid developments this month climaxed by a hearing held here Tuesday night when approx imately 100 Kodiak fishermen aired their complaints to William c. Harrington, Assistant to the Undersecretary of State, Gov. Will liam Egan of Alaska, and party of state and federal officials.
 Kodiak crab fishermen hit on one theme, The federal govern ment has adopted an attitude of appeasement toward the Russian invasion of Alaskan fishing waters" and this was backed up by Gov ernor Egan who said, We keep backing away, and the federal gov ernment must recognize this is not a local problem"
 Gov. Egan continued, "The state of Alaska has no fear psychologist. ally of the Russians, and the na- tional government must realize ii is not a local problem but one which will be on every coast soor unless we take stand"
 Accepting the testimony iron Kodiak fishermen in almost un believing manner, Harrington said Security has top priority, al though your problems will receive sincere attention"

Coast Guard Pilots Out To Set New
 World Record In Kodiak Florida Hop

In hope of establishing new world record for amphibians for straight line distance without land ing, three Coast Guard pilots were scheduled to depart from the Ma val Station early this morning en- route to Florida.
 The present worlds record was set in 1854 by Italy for a distance of 1,613 nautical miles.
 The Coast Guard fliers, under Project Officer Cmdr. w. C. Dahl gren who will act as co-pilot, hope to virtually double this distance in reaching Florida, about 3,100 nautical miles.
 The flight is expected to take upwards of 23 hours in the air, and will be accomplished with the standard fuel load normally car

ried in the Grumman UF-2G on long range missions, 10,25O pounds of AvGas.
 The flight, as planned, will be literally from one end of the coun- try to the other-from Alaska to Florida
 Exactly what city will be reached in Florida is not yet known, as it depends on the help received from favorable winds, and will be de- termined later as the flight pro gresses. Fleet Weather Central IS analyzing and forecasting weather information for the flight which was set to start Thursday but de- layed because of wind conditions
 Accompanying Cmdr. Dahlgren will be Cmdr. w. G. Felon, his CO., pilot, and a third pilot, It. Will liam Senn, who will act as the nav igator.

 Skipper Jim Jones of the Ke- tOvia described his unusually heavy losses of gear since the Russian trawling operations be- gan and appealed for federal government protection. "What are we going to do? The govern ment has to take some steps to protect the resOurce," he stated.

wheat is at a premium price of
S2.05 per bushel, of which is at
least 500 of the Montana produc-
ton, with less quality wheat SELL
ing for S1.92, which is 10c above
the S1.82 price set by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture for the 1868
wheat crop.
The choice is simple. You vote
for government controls or you
vote for a higher price for Mon
tana wheat.
For almost a decade now the
wheat producer has been told by
the Federal Government how
much TO plant Just because the
Congress of the United States has
been and still is, not willing to
accept their responsibilities and
by continuing to pass discrimina-
tory laws controlling the produc-
ton of wheat.
Even at the beginning of this
Government program Montana
was not one of those states that
were producing an over supply of
surplus wheat. They were instead
producing for the supply and de-
mand market system that has
made ours the greatest country
in the World. However, as time
went on and the us. Government
continued to expand payments to
those producing wheat for the
US. Government only and not the
market place, il became more %
parent that the Montana wheat
producers, through a reduction
in wheat acreage allotments and
who raise wheat for the market
place, r the losers.
Our Government was establish

Ten Commandments. the principle

Dear Sir:

most or all the fair board. Quite
some time prior to the opening
of the fair, l asked the fair sec
rotary if we would be able to
set UP a Republican booth and
distribute literature en- our cam
didatos. l was told that the fair
officials had decided that we
would not have any politics or
religion at the fair and that if
there was any pOliticizing we
would have to do it outside the
gate in the parking lot.
Those people that supported
the afternoon or evening shows

sided political exposure as they
entered the grandstald where a
Democrat politician was granted
a privilege denied those Of OPP

We can do nothing now about
the advantage that this person
received, but l feel that the pub

Many of our drivers today are going. on the theory that
you DOM need road manners, particularly if your driving a
tlveton truck. 1t appears, although some disagree, that UNI
wise use OF speed and especially when it is coupled with one
for-the road, is a leading cause of accidents.
Other situations don't develop into mishaps because the
driver had the right arm about the wheel and not a blonde or
a bottle, or was vgilant enough to avert an accident.
Safety IS everybodyS business. While the young drivers.
because an uncomfortably large percentage of fatal accidents
involve them, sometimes take more blame than they have
coming.
Our biggest concern shouldn't be of the other driver.

As we probe more and more each day into space, the
door to new investment opportunities in space is being
opened. One such opportunity is just about to emerge in
Washington.
The new testars, the way the present bill reads, would
be owned half by existing corporations and half owned by the
investing public. Corporation directors would represent pub
lie owners, industry owners and the government, the last
being appointed by the president. Stock would be sold and
the corporation would be regulated by the Federal Commun-
ications Commission.
So, it would appear tina. the day of public ownership in
space may be almost here.
