ON THI BALLOT in the October 12 election there will be a referendum on "the practice of fishing by means of traps
should be continued or .... . should be abolished.'* To abolish traps, wq believe, would amount to confiscation and would
permanently injure the Territory of Alaska.
Everybody in the salmon industry wishes it could be a 12-montli industry, em
ploying only Alaskans. But nobody can change a salmon's habits or the weather. So,
only about 10,000 of the 20,000 people employed for a few months are Alaska resi
dents. The chief reason why ALL 20,000 employees are not residents is because there
are too few Alaskans available for the short season salmon are running.
* But the ONE phase of salmon fishing which does lengthen the working season
is trap fishing.
Alaskan industries which supply and maintain traps such as logging, manu
facture of wire netting, repair of tender and rigging scows, diving work and charters,
including patrol boat operations, are busy six to nine months of year employing
thousands of Alaska residents.
%
Confiscate traps and you shorten the working season and hurt Alaska indus
tries and residents of the territory who work in these industries.
Moreover, confiscation of traps would mean the cutting off of the steady sup
ply of salmon to canneries. Many of these canneries would be forced to close, throw
ing more residents out of jobs.
Vote on October 12 to keep Alaskans working.
VOTE TO CONTINUE SALMON TRAPS!

Indian army leaders predicted
today a virtual end of the pocket
war in Hyderabad by Thursday or
Friday.
Indian troops pounding in
toward the capital of the princely
state from perhaps ten directions
were expected to reach the city of
Hyderabad by that time.
The Indian defense ministry
said civil authorities and the peo
ple of the south central state have
i offered no opposition. India is try
l ing to force Hyderabad to join the
Indian Union; the Moslem Nizam
I of the state is reluctant.
Aurangabad, second largest city,
fell without a shot. It gave India
: nearly all the northwest corner.
Other troops closing in from the
east, west and south were much
! closer to the capital.
(ROME) — The western powers
i and Russia disagreed utterly on
J the future of Italy’s colonies. The
problem thus went to the United
Nations, as provided in the Italian
peace treaty.
The U. S. was reported to have
, changed its mind, for military se
i curity reasons, on giving back the
j colonies to Italy. Heeding the Bri
tish viempoint, the U. S. was said
to have decided it would be too
i
, risky to turn back the strategic
African possession for three rea
sons:
Italy is unable to defend them;
■ should the communists win Italy,
the colonies would be Russian out
posts; and no matter who runs
Italy, Moscow undoubtedly would
order communists to stir trouble in
; the colonies. The U. S. has an air
! base in Libia which soon can han
