 The Fishery
 The second phase of it's rocket growth was the discovery and de velopment of the king crab fish cry. For years Kodiak's economy was almost entirely based on the short seasonal salmon fishery with its great yearly fluctations. How ever, the development of the steady year-round king crab fishery and later shrimp, has proven a boon to the economy, not only greatly increasing the income of the people, but stabilizing it. The apparent resurgence of the pink salmon population, especially in 1862, which was one of the largest on record, has also assisted.
 Aside from the contribution of the Naval and Coast Guard install lations, the larger percentage of the population in Kodiak and the outlying villages are dependent on its fisheries. The number of fish ermen harvesting the bounty of the sea are fewer than the more nu- merous shore workers in Kodiak and the smaller island communi- ties who handle and process the catch.
 The first Kodiak Island canner- ies were built on Karluk strip on the south end of Kodiak specifically for the processing of red salmon. In the early twentieS this area had half dozen canneries operating.
 Pink salmon were not caught in any numbers until the late twen- ties. In the midthirties, the pink pack rose to 100000 cases, then joined the alarming economic to. began with the rest of the Alas kan fisheries. The biggest harvest in late years was under statehood in 1862 when 16 million pinks were caught by fishermen which pro- duced pack of 565 thousand cas. es. The sum paid to the fishermen for the raw fish was equal to the purchase price of Alaska.
 Why Smaller Fish?

 The cluster of fjord-indented is- lands which includes Afognak measure 50 by 100 miles in dia- meter.
 The beam of the spot centers on a sea drama being enacted by a large Russian fishing fleet that has moved down out of Boring Sea to exploit with ruthless tactics the traditional fishing grounds of Uni ted States Nationals on Kodiak's continental shelf.
 The Russians have aroused the anger of the residents of Kodiak by blowing their otter travis destruc- lively through the nests of Aferi- can crab pots apparently with scant regard for human rights or property
 Sea Otter Skins
 The curtain rose on the Kodiak drama 179 years ago in 1784 when the Russians from Kamchatka es- tablished company's fur trading settlement based on the taking of sea otter skins on Three Saints Bay. This was the first settlement in Alaska.
 Three Saints served as the head quarters for the company's fur trade during the following eight years. In 1792 it was moved to the present site of the City of Kodiak by the notable Alexander Baranof

 Kodiak logged along in sleepy obscurity until the purchase o1 Alaska by the United States in 1867. From 1867 until World War II it remained a small trading and fishing village with population oi around 500.

that racial discrimination does

the fact that qualified people are

be changed by bayonets. But few
stop to think that the alternatives
is to leave the Negro community
of Birmingham to the bayonets Of
the State troopers. Gene Grove in
the New York Post Sept. 20 vivid
ly pictured how the Negro COM
munity is ruled. When one reporter
approached Col. Al Lingo of the
State police with a question, the
only reply was a shotgun in the
belly. Wednesday night the troop
ers beat an aged man in the Negro
district of East Thomas and a
young boy in the Negro district Of
Parker Heights, both for failing to
move off the street fast enough.
Yesterday morning they rode down
the street with carbines peeldng
from every window, shouting at
Negroes sitting on their porches to
get back in the house, niggers, get
your ass the hell off the street..
Fhe Mayors Secretary looked sur
prised when a reporter asked him
if he thought the manners Of the
State troops toward the Negroes
were not provocative. He found no
fault with it. Such ways and lang
uage, after all, are accepted in
situations in the South, the way
peace and quiet" have been pre-
served.
When I was in Germany, I-feit
the empty wasteland of the Ger
man heart. I feel the same way
about the hearts of my fellow
white men in America, where the
Negro is concerned. The good peo-
pie there as here are in the min
ority and weak. Just as many Ger
mans feel it was somehow the
fault of the Jews that they got
themselves cremated, so many
whites here North and South, feel
that the bombing wouldn't have
happened if the Negroes weren't
so pushy. AS a white housewife In
a Birmingham supermarket told
Robert Baker of the Washington
Post (Sept. 19), it was terrible"
but ''that's what they get for try
ing to force their way where
they're not wanted" Worse than
the bombing is this inhuman chill.

the Supreme Court 10 settle a
labor dispute, he could have taken
one of the country's two Negro
judges off the Court Of Appeals to
dignity mission of mediation. He
might have insisted, for once, after
so terrible a crime, on seeing white
and Negro leaders together, in
stead of giving a separate audi
ence four days later to a white
delegation from Birmingham. It is
as if. even in the White House,
there are equal but separate fac
ilities.
The Negro leaders, facing the
TV cameras outside the Executive
offices that Thursday afternoon,
looked like men pursued by des-
pair, afraid that at the slightest
misstep they might be trampled
under by the hopeless fury in the
ranks behind them. The white dele
cation, the following Monday, had
underling written all over it. The
President Of the United States
could take time out to hear white
Birmingham, but the Mayor was
too busy and sent his secretary.
With him were neither the Big
Mules nor their Northern capitalist
overlords; it is as if they had as
signed their office boys to see the
President. If what they told the
press afterward was a sample of
what they told the President, he
too must have despaired of find
ing a solution. Even these supposed
moderates could not shake loose
from the mythology of white su-
premacy: if only outside agitators
like Martin Luther King would
stay away peace and quiet could
be restored; many Negroes favored
segregation, but apparently were
afraid to say so except privately
to their white friends. Hire Ne
gro policeman? That was a PRO
foundly difficult" almost impos-
sible," problem. Just why was
never explained; perhaps Negroes
do not look good in blue, with
brass buttons.
Our Ancient Double Standard

should marvel at is our own fail
ure to make daily use of the law
that gives Christmas its power.
In today's harTied world, Christ
mas Is a safety zone-a season

For few happy weeks we let the
divine law of giving operate in
our lives, u1hampered by normal"
considerations Of expediency and
what we viii get out of our giving.
We give, materially and spititual-
ly. Our thoughts are turned to CIV
ing And so we get even more than
we give; we get an atmosphere Of
happiness, the kind Of world we
want TO live in.
Call the spirit of Christmas a
miracle, If you will; but like all
miracles, it is based on divine law.
And the law is so powerful, so
sure, that no amount Of CONNER
cialism can tarnish the beauty and
fineness of Christmas. 1t is a law
that can be expressed simply: To
draw in, we must give out.
1t works; 1t never fails. We see
it at work once every year, at the
Christmas season. When we are
able to see it at work throughout
the year, we viii comprehend full

rage. The Majority Leader, Mans
field, also spoke up, but half his
time was devoted to defending ].
Edgar Hoover from charges of in
difference to racial bombings. His
speech was remarkable only for its
inane phrasing. There can be no
excuse for an occurrence of that
kind" Mansfield said of the bomb
ing, in which four little girls at
Sunday school were killed, under
any possible circumstances" Ne
groes might otherwise have sup
posed that States rights or the
doctrine of interposition or the
failure of the Minister that morn
ing 10 say 'sir" to a passing white
man might be regarded as mitig-
ating circumstance, Even so Mans
fields proposition was too radical
for his Southern colleagues. Only
Fullbright rose to associate him
self with Mansfield's remarks and
to express condemnation. There
was more indignation in the Sen
ate over Mus pagoda raids in
Saigon.
No National Day Of Mourning
If four children had been killed
in the bombing of a Berlin church
by Communists, the country would
be on the verge of war. But when
four Senators (Hart, Kuchel, Hum
phrey and Javits) framed a resolu-
ton asking that the Sunday after
the Birmingham bombing be set
aside as a national day Of mourn
ing, they knew their fellow Sen
ators too we'll even to introduce
it. They sent it on to the White
House where it was lost in the
shuttle. Despite the formal express
sions Of regret, the sermons, the
editorials and the marches, neither
white America nor its leadership
was really moved. When Martin
Luther King and six other Negro
leaders finally saw the President
four days after the bombing, 1t
was TO find that he had already
appointed a two-man committee to
represent him personally" In
Birmingham, burt that both men
were white. This hardly set pre-
cedent for bi-racial action. If Mr..

THIS NJ THAT

LOI THE LIGHT!
Above the manger stood a star,
A star all wondrous white;
And all about His lowly bed
There Welled flood of light.
1t bathed the stable in its glow,
1t shone round Mary's head;
And on the lneeling shepherds cloaks
Its radiant beams were shed.
Star of the world! Through time and space
1t flames in glory bright
To make mans pathway through the years
A pilgrimage Of light.
1t shines for us; that light still shines
No cloud can dim its spark;
Its radiance blossoms bright with ioy
A beacon in the dark
The path leads on, the path leads up;
We walk it mile by mile,
And 10! the light His love has lit
Grows brighter all the while
Oh, never doubt it shines for you!
Though skies seem dark and low,
Keep looking up, keep lifted UP;
Somewhere a star will show!
Let not your heart be trouble-flled;
The darkest night must clear
And life be glad and life be sweet;
For 10! the light is here!

ENTRANCE BY THE
DOOR. ONLY

New Orleans (ANP) - Norman
Fuller, 21, has learned that one
does not enter a room by a win
dow, even If it is his own room,
and especially if the room is in a
hotel. Fuller, who had a room on
the first floor, found that he did
not have his keys. Instead Of go
ing to the desk for a spare, he
elected TO enter his room from a
window.
Just then someone fired a gun
at him, wounding him in his right
arm. He was treated at Santa Rosa
Medical center.
But one thing still puzzles him
and the police: Who fired the
shot?

Jackie Robinson Critical:
EuAer's Views
Assaulted BY
RIGHTS Leaders

Chicago (ANP) A serious
philosophical clash occurred last
week when a number of leading
civil rights leaders launched a bit
ter attack on S. B. Fuller, perhaps
the most controversial of an Ne
gro businessmen.
Fuller, a cosmetics manufacturer
is one of the nations wealthiest
Negro businessmen and has de-
veloped nationwide door to door
sales force that makes him prob
ably the largest Negro employer
Led by Jackie Robinson, vice
president of a New York restau-
rant chain, the criticism of Fuller
was the strongest yet expressed
by Negro leaders who feel that
Fuller's philosophy is harmful to
the cause of Negro freedom. The
Courier newspaper chain of which
Fuller is owner regularly expresses
his view that the limitations under
which Negroes labor are largely
self imposed. He is particularly
disdainful Of the ability of legisla-
ton to help Negroes improve their
status.
FlIller's remarks that spanked
the latest controversy were made
by him at the 6Sth annual con-
ference Of American industry spon-
sored by the National Association
of Manufacturers in New York last
week.
Stated Robinson: Top leaders
of four of the nations most pow
erful civil rights organizations, in
exclusive statements to me told
their reaction to statements re-
portedly expressed in this city by
a Negro business executive who
blames the lack of race progress
ON the Negroes lack of initiative
courage, integrity, loyalty and
wisdom"

'In 1856, Fortune Magazine re-

eighteen million dollars for the
year. The bulk of his income is
realized from the activities of
thousands of door to door sales
men operating in virtually every
principal American city. In the
Harlem area alone, Fuller branches
have been known to gross as much
as $4,000 weekly.

from his Atlanta office. 'The

tions which have caused his people

ed the same thing which was at

DR.. John Morsell, assistant to
