Seals For Maine;
Lobster For Alaska
AUGUSTA, Me. (/P) — Alaska
fur seals and Main seed lobsters
may be swapped to give Alaska a
lobster industry and Maine a seal |
offering something more than!
amusement for youngsters at the
beach.
Emory F. Tobin of Ketchikan,;
Alaska, editor of the Alaska ]
Sportsman, expressed interest in
lobstering in a letter to Richard E.
Reed, Maine sea and shore fisher
ies commissioner.
Reed suggested seed lobsters
might be traded for bull seals. The
fur seals would be crossed with
Maine hair seals in an attempt,
Reed said, to produce a seal worth
hunting.
The whiskery black heads of
Maine seals popping up offshore
delight bathers. Fishermen, whose
nets and traps seals damage, ac- j
cept them much less cheerfully.
Nearly worthless commercially, I
the seals have propagated unmo
lested. If the Alaskan strain im-;
proved the skins, the control
problem would take care of itself
Reed believes.
Outright sale of Main seed lob
Gerhard Eisler
Re-Arrested
_
NEW YORK, </P)—Counsel for
Gerhard Eisler planned habeas
corpus proceedings yesterday in a!
move to effect release from Ellis1
Island of the accused “No. 1 Com
munist” of this country.
The 50-year-old Eisler, a native
of Germany, was arrested yester
day on a deportation warrant and
held without bail.
Justice department officials said
the warrant under which Eisler!
was picked up does not permit)
bond. But Mrs. Carol King, his ;
New. York lawyer, said she would
begin habeas corpus action in an
attempt to free her client.
Eisler, until his arrest Monday,
had been free in $20,00 bail since;
being convicted in Washington, D.
C., last summer on charges of
passport fraud and contempt of i
Congress. He faces possible pen-!
alties in the two convictions total-j
ing up to six years in addition to j
fines of $6,000.
sters is illegal, Reed said. An ex
change in which Maine’s fishing
industry might benefit would be
permissible.
Reds Say British
Plotted Gandhi’s
Assassination
NEW DELHI, (/P)—Throughout
India members of two militant
Hindu groups which bitterly op
posed Mohandas K. Gandhi’s
peace appeals were attacked by
mobs enraged over the Hindu
spiritual leader’s assassination.
The Indian press said large
numbers of both Mahasabha and
the RSS were being • arrested by
police for questioning. Others
were beaten.
Both maintain youth organiza
tions called “volunteers” which
have been described as private
armies.
MOSCOW (>P)—A Tass dispatch
from Rome quoted the Commun
ist newspaper Unita as saying that
Mohandas K. Gandhi’s killer j
“most probably acted at the in
stigation of the British secret serv
ice.”
The dispatch said Unita com
mented that the British secret
service “is interested in the pro
vocation of new, bloody conflicts
in India.” The dispatch was pub
lished in Pravda, organ of the
Communist party.
Navy Will Ignore
Kodiak Protests
SEATTLE, (/P) — A rumpus
raised by Kodiak, Alaska, business
men and civic officials over com
petition offered by government
operated stores brought a sharp
retort here.
Glenn A. Diehl, district mechan
ical engineer for the navy ord
nance bureau at Kodiak, denied
that the navy commissary and
theater cut heavily into the mer
chant’s business there.
Kodiak and the navy ‘town’ are
several miles apart and connected
only by a rough dirt road that is
hazardous to travel during most of
the year, Diehl said. The navy
store has only meager supplies
and the theater is a cheap wood
building in which old pictures are
shown, he explained.
“The whole controversy in
volves a pitifully small number
of people and I have a feeling that
the merchants of Kodiak are grab
bing at straws.”
Kodiak business leaders recent
ly objected strenuously to opening
of the navy commissary to con
struction workers. The complaint
was carried in person by the Ko
diak mayor to Washington, D. C.
The navy replied that its action

Salmon Waste To
Become Useful
WASHINGTON, (&) — Alaskan
salmon waste, now a throwaway
problem, may be a practical source
for production of sex hormones,
insulin and other useful medicinal
compounds.
j A commerce department re
search report said the Territory
has about 100,000,000 pounds each
year of such waste—heads, tails,
I fins and viscera—which is hauled
1 out to sea and dumped at consid
erable expense.
The report is the first on a study
sponsored jointly by the com
merce department and the Alaska
fisheries experimental commis
sion at Ketchikan to. develop
means of turning the wastes to
, useful purposes.
The principal difficulty is mak
! ing production of items from the
fish waste commercially profit
able.
