WASHINGTON, UP) — “Out to
sea by May” is the goal of the
government’s new Pacific fishery
research expedition.
The fall and winter months
will be spent in getting ready for
the long-awaited invasion of the
private lives of the tuna and other
fishes in the central Pacific area, j
But by spring, the fish and
wildlife service expects to have a
laboratory on the University of
Hawaii campus completed and
partially equipped, three ocean
going vessels converted into re
search ships and ready to begin
explorations.
The ships and the laboratory
will take most of the $1,000,000
appropriated by Congress for the
12 months ending next June 30.

Pendergasts Again
Control Missouri
KANSAS CITY (^—Control of
the Jackson county Democratic
committee was back in the hands
of the Pendergast political organ
ization today.
The organization is headed by
Jim Pendergast. He inherited it
on the death of his uncle, Boss
Tom Pendergast, whose faction
dominated Missouri politics for
years.
The test of 'Pender gast’s
strength in the committee came
yesterday in electing a committee
chairman. A Pendergast-backed
candidate, Leo T. Schwartz, de
feated Ralph M. Russell, 30 votes
to 26. Russell was supported by
factional opponents of Pender
gast.
