Fishermen Offered S1 Per Pound On King Crab Price

Local fishermen were today made an offer of $1 per pound for king crab.
 There's just one catch however the offer is good for only four or five crabs.
 The Kodiak Area Chamber of Commerce is seeking four or five extra large king crab for mounting. The Chamber receives numerous requests for crab mounts to be ex- hibited at conventions and exposi- tions and plans to have several "loaners" on hand for this purpose, according to Bob Simon, Chamber vice president.
 Tn order to make sure that crabs of impressive size represent ko- diak. minimum weight of 20 pounds has been set. The Chamber will pay $15 plus one dollar per pound ever 20 pounds for these big crab. Fishermen are requested to get in touch with Chuck Powell when they come in with real sOaker.

Life Sentences

h.. Governor Tawes has acted properly
in setting aside the death penalty i'm
posed on three young Negroes following
their convictions for raping white girl
in Montgomery County.
Advocates of a "full pardon" for the
accused are far from satisfied with the
life sentences now substituted for the
death penalty. They pitch their plea
for pardons to newly discovered" evil
dence bearing on the girls character,
as well as her emotional and mental
stability. But the accused, Of course,
knew nothing of the victims character
when they smashed the windows of the
locked doors of car in which she was
seated with male companion, or when
they pursued her into the surrounding
woods.
.- The communication Of sentence
means that the accused will be eligible
for parole after is years. Perhaps
further study and consideration will
suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of earlier par
dons. in our judgment, however, the
Governor had ample justification for
refusing to release the men at this time.

American used 457 pounds last year.
And this teaSer: If all the wood used in
this country in year were made into a
solid block, it would cover a city block
and soar 4.6S miles into the air.
More important than statistics, our
forests are in good hands. Twenty
three years ago someone had the fore
sight to think of the American Tree
Farm System. This is the excellent
program under which more and more
privately owned timber land is being
harvested and replanted with the vol
untary advisory aid Of Government
foreSterS.
American Forest Products Indus
tries may well be proud Of the Tree
Farm System and its related benefits of
recreation, wildlife protection, water
conservation and soil sterilization.
With million acres of forest land dis
appearing each year as suburbia pushes
on, every tree has meaning of its own.

High Pressure Stuff

Dispositions filed in the United
States District Court give strong sup
port to the charge by Chevy Chase resi-
dents that the District Board of Zoning
Adjustment was presumed into approx
ing erection of huge Soviet Embassy
and Chancery on the Bonnie Brae estate.
According to the dispositions, Secre-
tary Of State RuSk wrote to Charles A.
HorSky, White House adviser for Ma
tional Capital affairs, that both he and
President Kennedy wanted the coming
regulations waived to permit construc-
ton of the embassy ANY
effort on your part to expedite the So
Wet application" Secretary RuSk as
Sured Mr.. Horsky, will be greatly
appreciated"
Mr.. HorSky sent the letter, with a
covering note, to the then District En-
gineer Commissioner, Brigadier General
F. ]. Clarke, who conferred with the
Zoning Commissions Director Of Plan
ming, Robert o. ClouSer. The two men
agreed, according to Mr.. ClouSer's depo-
Sition, that the Rusk letter and the
HorSky note should be withheld from
the public file because 1--WE didn't par
ticularly want to embarraSs two men as
high up in the Government as those
involved"
In another deposition, Samuel Scriv-
ener, jr., chairman of the Board OF
Zoning Adjustment, admitted that Mr..
HorSky, General Clarke and the State
Departments Pedro Saniuan had
phoned him about the case, Mr.. Horsky
and General Clarke, he said, urged him
to keep the Federal Governments posi-
ton in mind in deciding the case. Mr..
Scrivener and two other members of
the five-man board voted in favor OF
the Soviet application.
1t is important, albeit disturbing,
to remember that the acknowledgements
parts played by the White House and
the State Department, not to mention
General Clarke and Mr.. ClouSer, would
never have become known If the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association had not filed
suit to block construction of the chan
Gerry. The Chevy Chase. people may have
had their suspicious, but otherwise they
never would have known that high Off
Gals of their own Government had con-
spired with the Soviets to change the
character Of their neighborhood. Those
involved should be embarraSSed-and
ashamed.
