(UP) Special Washington Service
WASHINGTON, </P>—’The state
department says it hopes to find
“a public spirited citizen1’ in the
Puget Sound area to succeed Ed
ward W. Allen of Seattle on the
Pacific Salmon Fisheries Com
mission. Allen resigned recently.
Rep. Mitchell <D.-Wash.- made
public yesterday a letter from
Jack K. McFall, an assistant sec
retary of the department, saying
it is difficult to find a qualified
man who will agree to serve.
McFall w’rote that members of
the commission always have been
“public spirited citizens with no
direct financial connection with
the fishery being regulated but
with a business background and
a willingness to put in a good deal
of time on an unpaid civic serv
ice.”
He said the department felt a
commissioner should not be se
lected from the industry itself be
cause “ it is difficult, even if prac
tical, for a man to be asked to
regulate his own activities in a
manner unbiased from the stand
point of his own company’s wel
fare.”
McFall said the position “re
quires a good business back
ground, sound judgment, patience,
and a high degree of diplomatic
ability.”
Josephine Nyadac. elderly King
Island native woman died at the
King Island Village last week. She
has been ill for some time.

U. S. Will Use
“Total Diplomacy-*
To Halt Russians
(By John Scab)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — A now
cold war battlecry—“total diplo
macy”—was raised for Americans
last week by Secretary of State
Acheson. Its meaning: An all-out
effort, short of shooting, to curb
Russian expansion.
Declaring that tho nation must
do far more than it is now doing
to halt Soviet plans for “world
domination,” Acheson said:
“We clearly are not focusing
our resources in the winning of
that struggle.”
What’s needed, he said, is a sin-!
glcminded, “voluntary” campaign
by all elements of the Nation—
Congress,'the executive depart
ments of the government, and the j
people. He mentioned particular
ly such institutions as business,
agriculture, the press and the ra
dio.
I
Acheson sketched this new out-:
line of national support for United
States foreign policy three weeks
ago, in an informal White House
talk before the advertising coun
cil, a private organization of lead
ers in the field of advertising.
Officials said the talk was kept
secret, in the expectation that
Acheson might use the same ideas
in a public address in late Febru
ary or earlv March. When this did
not materialize it was decided to
make a reconstructed version of
his speech public.
