Probable That Kodiak Fishermen Will Reject Cordova Fish Basis

Possibility of deadlock between Kodiak area fishermen and can nery operators over salmon prices loomed on the horizon this week as members of the United Fisher mems Marketing Association began their annual convention here this Monday and made clear they would not accept any price cut on salmon in this area.
 According to Lloyd Cannon, pres ident of the group which represents virtually all of the fishermen of the Kodiak area, the canneries have indicated their desire to purchase fish on per pound basis and have offered nine cents on pink salmon or "humpies."
 Cannon made reference to the per pound basis established early this month in the Prince William (Cordova) Sound area where the prices agreed upon represent substantial cut in price for fish to the fishermen" Cordova prices per pound now are: 1O1z cents for Pinks; 834 cents for Dogs; 15 cents for Silvers; B cents for Kings; and 24 cents for Reds.
 ''Cordova fishermen accepted a substantial cut in the price they get for pinks but maintained their price for Reds. This is probably due to the fact that reds are sub stantial portion of their catch whereas it is almost inconsequen- tial to our Kodiak salmon catch" Cannon said, adding, q would never re com m e n d that our fishermen even consider the Cor dova pink price, let alone the nine cent offer here"
 Cannon pointed out that Prince William Sound pinks are smaller than Kodiak Island pinks. He quoted from detailed letter and report made by the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game to substantiate his statements:
 "The ADF&G gave us these fig ures and they got them from the cannerieS so there can't be any arguing about them by the cannery operators" he said.
 'In 1862 it took 25 pinks to fill a case of AS lib. cans in Kodiak but took 251a pinks in Cordova.
 "In 1861 it took 15.86 pinks and 17.5O in Cordova, and, in 1860 1t took 23.6O in Kodiak but 24,60 in Cordova," Cannon pointed out.
 "In short, Kodiak pinks run big ger than Cordova pinks by an av- craze over 10 years of about half a fish per case," he summed up.
 Tn Kodiak the 10 year average is 1868 fish per case with the av- craze size 3.75 pounds per fish and it required 1880 lbs. per case" Cannon said.
 Using the 10 year averages We would have to get at least 12.13 cents per pound and this would still represent about a 21 per cent cut from last years fish price, assum- ing that the fish sizze are average size," Cannon said.
 "I personally recommend that we negotiate on per fish basis IS always and let the canneries

Children. it has been remarked
10 often, enjoy Christmas more
than adults. This Christmas the
great truth will be repeated-as In
centuries past.
The reason, of course, is that
children believe completely, who'll
ly and without shadow of doubt in
Christmas. Of course, at first that
belief is mainly in the Santa Claus
aspect. But as children advance to
greater comprehension that belief
embraces the Christ and the story
of the Nativity. The main thing is
unshakeable belief; all else is Sec
ondary.
Adults will find-if only they
try-that they, too, can enjoy and
appreciate Christmas. The way is
to believe with the same absolute
faith as a little child. And, why
not? Remember the symbolic
words of Isaiah "and a little
child shall lead them"
It was the Master, Himself,
who evaluated the refreshing and
wholesomeness of a child's faith in
these words: "Whosoever shall not
receive the kingdom of God as a
little child shall in no wise enter
therein" To put it in today's yer
nacular, if this faith is good and
sound enough to get al adult into
the kingdom of God-and is an
essential route-surely it is no less
applicable to the story of the Ma
tivity and all for which it has stood
these many years.
The arrival of the Master had

tool. They brush aside consiste-
cy and long = standing prin-
ciples Of international conduct
by indulging in conspiracies such
as are common in corrupt polit'
ical machines.
What goes on behind the scenes
in the u. N. - euphemiStically
called "politicking' - is a far
cry from the lofty ideals en-
unciated by President Woodrow
Wilson in 1919 when he urged
the world to form a League
Of Nations. He didn't favor a
superstate but advocated that
the sovereignty of every nation
and its territorial independence
be respected and preserved. He
envisioned not a Tammany-like
political organization but a high
minded international association
dedicated to moral force as the
savior Of mankind. His concept
seems to have been abandoned.

been long propheSied and, yet,
when the time came adults were
skeptical hat God had subjected
His Son to a lowly stable birth.
There are skeptical adults today.
They are the ones who won't get
the most out of Christmas. To find
the true and genuine meaning OF
Christmas-the great experience
they must embrace its story in the
manner and faith of a little child.
Not only did the Master recon-
mend this, He vouched for it thus
ly: "Let not your heart be
troubled; We believe in God, be-
lieve also in me. In my Fathers
house are many mansions; if it
were not so, I would have told
you"
-. If it were not so, I would
have told you" If the story of the
Nativity were not so-if it were
not to be believed as a little child
He would have said so.
With this sort of birth, n not
only enjoys Christmas and derives
from it a great experience, but
finds he possesses a key to the
kingdom. And, truly, Christmas is
for every human creature. The
words the angel addressed to the
country shepherds on that memoir
able night ages ago are still clear
and the hope of the world: "Fear
not, for behold, I bring you good
tidings of great JOY, which shall be
to all people. For unto you is born
this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord"

Statistics are notably drab and
undressing things, but there are
times when they tell a story eff
fectively-in fact supply emphasis
not otherwise available. A recent
report by the National Fire Pro-
lection Association provides a case
in point.
Last year, reports NFPA, de-
structive fires in this country took
a toll of 1890 lives and close to
SIG billion in property. Nearly
one-third of the fatalities we're

died in fire in their own homes.
But, let the news letter of the
International Association of Fire
Chiefs continue the story:
"The property loss total was
$780, 500 1000, the highest on rec
ord. This was an increase of 1884,
100000 over 1861 losses and the
third successive year the figure
has been over the SIS billion mark
Record highs in industrial plant

in the 1862 rise.

principal causes of the build

Approximately $4,000 private
dwellings in the United States

WASHINGTON - Woe to the
taxpayer who fails to file an
income return, but it's a very
different story where a $122
million DUPONT foundation is
concerned.
The Internal Revenue Service
is rough and tough in cracking
down on negligent taxpayers,
but it is a kindly and generous
Santa Claus in dealing with
equally remiss foundations.
Penalties for not filing tax
returns are the same in both
Instances - fines up to $40, 900
and Jail terms. The big differ
ence is the way the IRIS treats
them.
The taxpayer gets clobbered.
The foundation goes scot-free.

than 500 tax-free foundations an
their complex financial and bus
mess operations and manipula-
tons. The assets of these
foundations, many of which are
deeply engaged in business en-
~terprises, run into billions of
dollars.
Patman has aScertained that
the Longwood Foundation, OF
the DUPONT family and headed
by Henry B. Dupont, did not
file tax returns for the four
years Of 1855 through 1858. The
Longwood Foundation, with $122
million in assets, had receipt
of more than $32 million between
1901 ana lJ6U.
In fact, this DUPONT founda-
ton filed returns only after Pat
mans investigation uncovered
its failure to do so.
But this disregard of the
law went unscathed. The IRIS
did nothing about it.
The foundations president has
admitted this in a letter to Pat

businessmen who would other
wise invest capital in various
countries where confiScation has
been going on. This puts the
burden on American taxpayers
to keep on furnishing foreign

are discouraging the investment
of private capital.
Many of our officials here in
are brushing aside the dangers
as they argue that a change in
Washington and at the U. N.
the u. N. charter would have to
be ratified by the u. S. Sem
ate, since it would amount to
a modification of an existing
treaty, and that the present
charter Of the u. N. is an in
tegral part of the treaty
through which the United States
entered the u. N. in the first
place. But unless the United
States chooses to withdraw
from the u. NJ, the changes in
the charter will have to be &C.
cepted.
Sooner or later the full story
of how Uncle Sam plays the
role Of a sucker" in the U. NJ.
will come out in the open when
Congress considers appropria-

paying an equitable share.
In 1860, when the u. N. had
less than 100 members, a Euro
pean economic officer at the U.
N. figured that so of these were
contributing only rs per cent
of the costs of the whole or
ganization. Yet these same SO
nations made up a majority in
the general assembly - enough
to control It's voting. The Situa-
ton since then has not changed
percaptibly. Actually, the money
furnished by the U. N. itself to
each delegation for five round
trip tickets to each session in
New York takes up a substan-
tial part of what many Of the

neither a national educational
policy nor a national educational
standard is an enormous bar
rier to progress. Education In
the u. S. Is a hodgepodge Of
widely divergent state and local
practices. Some communi les
have no compulsory education
at any age. Some states require
school to Is years of age,
some require none at all. Most
states which have compulsory
education laws also permit ex-
ceptions which amount to huge
loopholes in the laws.
Admittedly, the whole question
Of a national educational policy
is confused now by racia', reli-
gious and emotional issues.
Admittedly, manv Americans
fear that federal aid to edu-
cation will lead to federal con-
troll. But Paley's vigorous re-
tort Is that neither the CT 9ill
of 1914 nor the National De-
Tense Education Act Of 1858 -
"the most sweeping postwar
legislation in education" - has
resulted in dictation by the fed.
eral government TO our schools
and colleges. He points out that
in the Is years he has been a
trustee of Columbia, this univer-
Sity has received over 5000 mill
lion in federal funds but there
has been absolutely no threat
Of any form of federal control.
Paley believes we must take
these two steps:
(1) Establish and strictly en-
force basic minimum standards
for primary and secondary e1u-
cation in terms Of numb OF
years of compulsory attendance
and number of hours of instruc.
ton; and
~ Make it clear that the
federal government must step
in to fill the void if a state
fails for any reason to provide
the essential basic education
which our national interests re-
quire.
More than a century ago, the
first great educational revolu-
ton swept over the U. s. wien,
in 1882, we committed ourselves
to the concept that education
should be available to all.
Now Paley is among our
thoughtful leaders calling for the
second great revolution via a
commitment to a standard of
education for all.
I'll submit just one statistic to
suggest what could be our fu-
ture if we continue to duck this
explosive problem Of education:

OF the story Of the United Ma

son lent his prestige to the or
ganization when he addressed
it with high : sounding words
but for expediency reasons ma
turally spoke no words of criti-
ciSm.
The whole story, however, Is
a disturbing one - a betrayal
of the simple rules of morality
ban or organization that is fl
~nancially bankrupt because
many Of its members refuse
to pay their assessments n
depend instead on the United
States to continue to bail the

Concurrently a plot has been
Matched by the Afro-ASian bloc
security council, first by in
creasing the number of it's
members, and then by making
such alterations in the U. N.
charter from time to time as
could paralyze the One-vote We
to Of the United States.
The first step came on De-
cember II the very day Pres
idant johnson was there - when
the General Assembly adopted
a resolution calling for an en-
largament of the Security Coun-
Gil. The Afro-Casian bloc had the
votes to put this through. The
United States isn't pleased
with the action. But, while it
keeps on begging the Afro-As-
ian bloc not to 60 to extremes,
it hesi.ates to speak out in the
open to mobilize public opinion
against such attempts to change
the whole character Of the U. N.
In this instance, the Ameri-
can delegation seems to be re-
lying on the Soviet Union to ex-
ercise a veto when the matter
comes before the Security Coun-
Gil. But Russia's ostensible OPP
position at present may well be
a cover-up Of her real purposes,
and eventually the Soviet govern
ment will play ball with tn e
Afro-Asian group, most of which
Moscow is suspected of control
ling today anyhow.
If the Security Council is en-
larged to Is members, it would
take a 9-member group to pass
a resolution. This, could work
to the Soviet advantage. TIL e
Afro-ASian bloc proposes that
the Security Council be compoS-
ed of three members from Afri-
ca, two from Asia. one from
East Europe, two from Latin
America, two from West Eur
ope and other states, plus the
five permanent members It h e
United States, Britain, France,
China and the Soviet Union.
On any issue involving "col-
oniaIism," there would be a ma
jority vote against the United
States. Our own delegation has
expressed itself against 'colon-
ialism," but the Afro-Asian bloc
wishes to 60 further and med.
die in the internal affairs of
other states even to the point
Of regulating their government
