 The Governors appeal was be- lieved to have considerable effect according to some fishermen and it is believed that a crises was averted "for the moment at least.'
 Captain Hammond of the Coast Guard told fishermen that an ad- ditional cutter was being assigned for duty in this area and the State Department has advised Egan that Coast Guard patrols in this area are to be extended until Dec. 15, specifically to deal with the crab gear interference problem"

 4. The suggestion that the Ja- panese position be presented to higher political authority indicates that the Japanese negotiators feel that they have gotten all they are going to get out of our negotiators.
 5. Our negotiators and advisors are under strict press control by our State Dept. and therefore it is difficult to assess one way or the other the worth of our indi- vidual representatives.
 In summarizing the articles of the Japanese press it appears that our delegation to Tokyo is having a rough time negotiating with the Japanese. The Japanese appear de- termined to fish in waters East of the 175th West Meridian. They seem agreeable to the conservation program of that area but are not agreeable to the distribution of the catch. They claim we have mon- opoly which they also claim is con- trary to their version of freedom of the seas.

squeeked into 16-vote lead over the challenging Dyson. The final vote was Rodli 251; Dyson 235. Dy- sons commanding lead over other losing council candidates puts him in line for appointment to any va- cancy that might occur in the council.
 In the race for mayor, veteran campaigner Pete Deveau racked up 285 winning votes, which consti- tuted nearly 59 per cent of the votes cast in the mayorality con- test. Challenger Wally Nelson, in his first bid for public office, re- ceived 121 votes or nearly 25 per cent of the votes. Using their tra- ditional and historic right to write in choices other than those listed on the official ballot and despite the legal pail cast over his eligi- bility to serve if elected, over 30 voters, surprising near r per cent, voted for Ed Naughton, who was not an active candidate.

State Senator Al Owen who is in Tokyo as an advisor to the American delegation on the North Pacific Fisheries Treaty negotia- ions dropped us a few lines this past week and enclosed a number of clippings about the negotiations that have appeared in the Japanese press. AS the Senator said: "As you have perhaps guessed, individ- ual delegates on the U. S. conting- ent cannot issue press releases dur ing the meetings, even though the Japanese press apparently has a pipeline. However in thinking of your interest in these meetings it occurs to me that the enclosed clippings from the Japanese Eng fish press might be of interest to you"
 The Mirror is unable to carry the Japanese articles sent by Sen Owen due to space limitations but has made the following attempt to summarize generally what they say. The clippings are being turned over to the Fisheries Committee of the Chamber of Commerce for their scrutiny.
 Review of the clippings indicate that:
 1. The Japanese view the current American position of "Past Re- suits" as being more severe than the "Abstention Principle"
 2. The American negotiators have stood firm and are not about to capitulate or "give away our fisheries" as they have been ac- cused in the past.
 3. The Japanese feel that the Canadian position is so close to

By Karl Armstrong

Ocean Queen Skipper Archie Nelson now has First Mate" right at home. Miss Judy Gale, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Ken Gale of Bend, Ore, became Mrs. Archie Nelson last week in ceremonies in Anchorage. They arrived back in Kodiak early this week and Archie found time to phone his mother, Mrs. Oscar Nelson, who is now liv- ing in Mt. View, Calif., to tell her the good news. Our best wishes to a lovely couple.

 Work is progressing satisfactor- lily on the Kodiak ferry according to picture and story datelined Sturgeon Bay, Wis, in the An chorage Times. According to the article travel time for the new ferry has been estimated at some 91a hours between Homer and Kodiak and about 12 hours between Seward and Homer. Schedule and tariffs have not been established yet but it is expected the ferry will make three or four trips week ly and fares will run about $35 for autos and $9 for passengers. Though the article says the ex- isting contract calls for no state rooms, we are advised by Pete Deveau that contract negotiations are underway to equip the vessel with 9 staterooms.
 J
 Many fishermen were disappoint- ed that Oscar Dyson, fisherman, failed to receive the necessary votes to win a seat on the city council Tuesday. He missed out only by just a hair with many fish, ermen out on their boats. How ever, should vacancy occur Oscar would be in line for appointment since he received the highest num- Der of votes among the losing candidates. Besides it seems only fitting that Kodiak with its econ omy primarily based on fishing, should have a fisherman on its council.

Many Uncertainties

ANY contract for a new weapon
carries many uncertainties. Mr.. Nc
Namara believes the services ac-
cept more uncertainties than they
need TO-
In the Tx, tor instance, the top
officers tended to brush off technical
problems on the assumption that a
good manufacturer could solve the
problems, given enough money and
time.
Mr.. Mcnamara and his civilian
advisers did look closely at the prob
lens cited by service technicians-
more closely, apparently, than many
Of the key officers looked-and de-
cided that the General Dynamics
Corp, proposal clearly offered the
best chance Of producing the re-
quired airplane in the time set and
at the lowest cost.
When he chose General Dynamics
over Boeing Aircraft Co., Navy and
Air Force officers said they pre-
ferred the Boeing design. The SEN
ate Investigations Subcommittee be-
gan Its hearing, and "TFX" started
to make the headlines.
This story is a summary Of the
Mcnamara case, based on answers
TO queries submitted at the Penta-

Reasons Questioned

While no evidence of political
pressure has been produced, the
testimony has brought into serious
question every reason given by Mr..
Mcnamara for his decision on a
contract which eventually win be
worth more th91 $6.5 billion.
Apart from the direct challenge
to Mr.. Mcnamara, the investigation
which became so acrimonious at
times that Attorney General Ken
nedy intervened in a peacemaker's
role-has produced these highlights:
/. Disclosure by the subcommittee
that memorandum for the record
prepared by Mr.. Zuckert to justify
the award and signed by him, Mr..
Mcnamara and Mr.. Kofth, q former
Fort Worth banker, contained errors
INVOLVING millions Of dollars and dis
orting the comparisons Of the rival
ng proposals.
2. Subcommittee members charged
that the Pentagon was constantly
changing figures IN an effort to
justify the award after the fact.
In addition, Senator Mcclellan said
the Defense Department had with
held requested information, includ-
ing list Of Mr.. zuckert's appoint
ments showing persons with whom
he discussed the Tx contract before
the award was announced.
8. General Accounting Office Of
ficials testified that Mr.. Mcnamara
and Mr.. zuckert told them they had
no cost data to support their claim
that Boeing's bid was unrealistic low.
They quoted Mr.. Mcnamara as say
ing this was based on a rough
judgment" and the figures were in
his head.

and then pay whatever it turned out
to cost. In the Navy it was more
common to fit the company to a
tentative design worked out by the
Navy and then 60 ahead with de-
velopment and manufacture.
Either way, the result in the past,
almost always. has been a weapon
that cost far, far more than the
estimates; long time lags and a
watering down Of original perform
ance standards.
The whole country has suffered
for these mistakes. but perhaps no
one has felt the anguish more
sharply than Secretary Mcnamara.
His orderly mind, his determination
always to link cost and effectiveness
in his decisions, his passion for
planning the future all led him to
look for better way.
He thinks he has found it.
He has not discovered one neat
reform gimmick, rather he is trying,
starting with the Tx, to force the
services to put more technicians to
work checking the cost and Develop
ment problems of proposed weapons.
