Sen. Cruening
 Seeks Restriction |Of Foreign Fishing

WASHINGTON R A bill aimed at restricting foreign fish, ing off the United States coastline was introduced in the Senate to- day.
 Sen. Ernest Gruening offered the measure. It would authorize the President, under certain cir cumstances and upon the request of governor of a state, to pro- hibit or limit foreign fishing with in 12 miles of the coast line.
 The present Smile limit, Gruen- ing declared, is "an albatross around the neck of United States fishermen" It should be extend ed an additional nine miles, he said.
 Canada has extended it's Smile limit to 12 miles to prevent over fishing by large foreign fleets, the same problem confronting the United States, Gruening said.
 Under Gruenings proposal, up- on petition of the governor of any state, the President would convene a fact finding board of three people, one of whom would be a resident of the state making the complaint.
 The board would investigate the complaint and report to the Presi- dent within 90 days.
 Then, if the President found that fishing by nationals of other na- tions threatened to deplete our own fishery resources lying within 12 miles off our shores, he could either prohibit all fishing within such waters for foreigners or could establish the conditions under which they would be permitted to fish there.

NOmeites Will Use New ZIP Code for
 Posting Letters

Our five-digit ZIP Code is 99762, the acting postmaster announced today.
 Everyone in Nome will use this ZIP Code on all their correspond ence to speed mail deliveries and reduce the chance of mis-sent mail.
 ZIP Code, the Post Office De- partment's revolutionary new sys- tenn of improved mail dispatch and delivery, goes into effect nation ally on July 1.
 It is important that all citizens of Nome learn this city's ZIP Code and use it in their return address on all correspondence In answer ing mail ZIP Codes taken from re- turn addresses on incoming mail should be used.
 The ZIP Code is literally the last word in mail addressing. It should follow the city and state in ad- dresses.
 This example is the proper use of ZIP Code:
 Your Name
 Your Box No.
 Nome, Alaska, 99762
 The new ZIP Code for the first time will permit the Post Office Department to shortcut repeated address reading.
 The address mail must often be read as many as 8 or 10 times by postal employees, to get to the proper destination. Each handling slows the process of mail dispatch and adds to the opportunity fo human error. With ZIP Code, a clerk need. only to glance at the code to know immediately to what national area state and post office the letter is destined, and to speed it on it's way, cutting up to "A hours off the time between deposit and de- livery.
 When ZIP Code is in full swing, the United States will have 'the most modern system of mail distri- button and delivery in existence.

 It is evident, however, that time tables are being revised and that the price for enacting both tax and civil rights legislation in 1863 may be a congressional session lasting almost to years end.
