U. S. To Take Up
King Crab Parking
(By Vern Haugland)
P> Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON. (/Pi—Nick Bez
. f Seattle said today the govern
ment-owned floating c a n ne r y
which he operates — The Pacific
Explorer—will free the United
States from “back-door fishing.”
He said the vessel, now operat
ing off Costa Rica, already has
itmonstrated that the west coast’s
f . ..mg boats, idle for many parts
: the year, can profitably be em
ployed the year round — and at
great distances from home.
If his plans materialize, Bez
told reporters, the cannery ship
this summer may establish a new
North Pacific industry once mo
nopolized by Japan—the canning
of king crab.
Bez said he has already started
men and small vessels toward
Alaska to investigate the king crab
situation in the Bering Sea.
Bez added that since crab pro
cessing must be done by hand,
work will be slow. He said the
Japanese crowded 300 crab-pick
ers aboard their- cannery ships,
but the Pacific Explorer can’t ac
commodate more than 250 under
American standards.
