Soviet Fishing
 Operations in Gulf Of Alaska Increase

JUNEAU R - The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries said today that Russian trawler fishing opera tions in the Gulf of Alaska in- creased to more than l50 vessels this year.
 In a report on high seas patrol efforts by the BCF and the Coast Guard during the 1863 fishing sea- son, Harry Rietze, area director of the Commercial Fisheries Bu- reau, said:
 All observations by Bureau of Fisheries personnel indicate the Soviets are harvesting primarily Pacific Ocean perch with very little take of halibut or other in cidental species"
 RetZe said the Russians operated three king crab fleets in the Der ing Sea from March until June, when they shifted operations of the two fleets into the Gulf of Alaska about 100 miles southeast off Kodiak Island.
 After fishing here briefly with excellent success" Rietze said, the fleets returned to Siberia.
 Rietze said four Russian whaling fleets operated intermittently dur ing the summer off Alaskan shores and swift Soviet whale killer ves- sels were reported in violation of Alaska territorial waters several times in pursuit of whales
 The Japanese fishing effort in the Eastern North Pacific Ocean was reduced somewhat this year, Rietze said. This year, Rietze said, there was only one factory ship and 30 traWlers in the area.
 Japanese king crab operations in the Eastern Boring Sea were also trimmed this year. with the fleet consisting of two factory ships and four trawl-type tangle net set ting vessels.
 The Japanese, Rietze said, had three whaling fleets in waters off Alaska this year. Each fleet con- sisted of factory ship and seven killer boats.
 Like the Russians, he said, "the Japanese whale killers have been overly aggressive and are known to have violated the three-mile ter ritorial sea limit on a number of instances"

WASHINGTON R Softly chanting freedom songs, a multi tude of Negroes and white sympa- thizers estimated at more than 100000 moved on Abraham Lin coln'S shrine today in a great civil rights march.
 A small army of police, National Guardsmen and police reservists had little to do because - up to noon at leaSt-the massive gather ing was one the most orderly on record.
 The police estimated the turn out at 10000 persons at noon.

 Before we'll be a slave, we'll be buried in our grave"
 Segregation disunites the Unit ed States
 No US. dough to help Jim CroW.''
 Tn freedom we were born, in freedom We must live"
 The demonstration was a giant demand that racial discrimination be abolished, root and branch, throughout America.
 Just about everybody, Negro and white, was polite, and evil dently intent on proving false some advance predictions that there might be an explosion of disorder The religious tone was reflected in signs which proclaimed God of Justice, God of power, can America deny freedom this hour?"
 Shortly after noon group of Hollywood stars including Marion Brando, Harry Belafonte and Sam my Davis Jr., arrived on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. They were welcomed by the Rev. Martin Luther King.
 Jackie Robinson, who was the first Negro to play big league base ball, told the crowd:
