Two West Coast Senators
 Express Concern on Latin America Fish Controversy

WASHINGTON R - Two West Coast senators have urged the State Department not to relax an effort to settle the fishing rights of US. fishermen in waters off Latin America.
 Sen. Harry Jackson, D-WnD, chairman of the Senate Interior Committee, and Sen. Clair Engle, O-CalO, expressed concern that the fishermen might get impatient and try further direct action.
 In a letter to Frederick Dutton, Asst. Secretary of State, the sen- ators commended governmental representations made after the seiz- ure in May of two San Diego based fishing vessels, the Ranger and the White Star, in waters off Ecuador.
 But they said that, if the US. tuna fishermen are to believe that governmental, not private, action is the best way to secure their rights, ''the State Department will be obliged to follow up on this matter with great diligence and to obtain some concrete results in the not too distant future"

 The USS Savage was commis- stoned in October 1943 and saw ! action against enemy forces dur ing World War II convoy escort duty in the Atlantic and Mediter- ranean combat zones. In 1945 she was transferred to the Pacific for escort duty out of Alaska until early in 1946. Since that time the ship has operated throughout the Pacific and now is a radar picket ship on Mid-Pacific barrier patrol. Cmdr. Bradford is an experi- enced naval officer, with extensive service in destroyer-type vessels. Before assuming command of the USS Savage in June of this year, he completed a course of study in engineering science at the US. Navy Postgraduate School in Mon terey, Calf.

Japanese Whaling
 Ship Intercepted at Cape Edgecumbe

JUNEAU LR - A Coast Guard cutter intercepted a 224-foot Japan ese whaling ship off Cape Edge cumbe Tuesday night after an American boat reported sighting the Japanese ship fishing within one and one half miles off shore.
 The Japanese whaler Toshi Maru was first sighted by the US. fishing boat White Light. When the White Light approached the Whaler, the Coast Guard said, the Toshi Maru got under way and moved to approximately three miles off shore.
 The White Light told the Coast Guard the Toshi Maru's crew was fishing with lines, apparently on the bottom.
 The Coast Guard cutter Sorrel, a buoy tender stationed at Sitka, and an amphibian from Annette Island were dispatched to the area to determine the Japanese ships position and to find out what she was doing in the area.
 The Coast Guard said that when the Sorrel first sighted the Japan ese ship, the Toshi Maru was ''very close to the three-mile limit, within a couple of hundred yards either way"
 The Toshi Maru, on sighting the Sorrel, started edging seaward and before the Sorrel could come alongside the two ships were some seven miles at sea.
 ''The master of the Toshi Maru invited the Sorrel to send a visit ing party aboard" the Coast Guard said, but before this could be done, the Toshi Maru got under way on a sOuthbound course, at a speed some five knots more than a buoy tender can make"
 The Coast Guard said it had taken sworn statements from creWmen of the White Light on the Toshi Marus original position and would file a report of the in cident with Coast Guard headquar- ters, Washington, DC.
 Cape Edgecumbe is on Kruzof Island, approximately 20 miles west of Sitka.
