Stole Sugar; Soldier
Tortured And
Beaten To Death
NEW YORK, (/P)—A witness at
the navy courtmartial of chief
signalman Harold E. Hirshberg.
29. accused of maltreating Ameri
can war prisoners in the Philip
pines. testified yesterday that an
army private tortured to death by
the Japaneses had been caught
stealing sugar from his fellow
prisoners’ rations shortly before
his death.
Marine warrant officer Louis E.
Duncan, 31, of Baltimore, at pres
ent attached to the Second Mar
ine Division at Camp Lejeune, N.
C., who was a prisoner with the
defendant at Camp Murphy on
Luzon, was the first witness of the
day.
Duncan testified that a store- •
keeper reported to him that he had
caught army private George Gar
rett of Waco, Tex., stealing sugar
from the men’s rations.
He said he reported the theft to
Hirshberg and asked him what he
would do about it. Duncan said
Hirshberg replied that “something
would happen to Garret” within
24 hours.
The witness said that within
the specified period Barrett was
beaten badly by Japanese guards
with clubs.
No attempt was made to#link:
the beating with the subsequent
fatal beating and torture of Gar
ret.
Garrett’s torture was described
yesterday by a witness. One of the
specifications against Hirshberg
accuses him of informing the Jap-(
anese guards of an escape attempt
by Garrett.

Alaska May Get
Salmon By-Prod- .
ucts Industry
SEATTLE. (>P)—Research into
possibility of establishing a 10
million-dollar year-round indus
try for processing waste products
of Alaska salmon canneries has
been launched by the U. S. depart
ment of commerce.
"The job will be done by the
Alaska fisheries experimental
commission under a contract- with
the department,” acting regional
director Philip M. Crawford said
today.
The department was allotted
$47,000 for the research program,
he said. The project will deter
mine specific constituents in sal
mon waste which have potential
market value and the best method
for storing the waste for vear
round processing.
“About 30 per cent of the an
nual salmon catch of 360-million
pounds now is scrap. But this
waste contains many recoverable
pharmaceuticals such as vitamins,
hormones and amino acids, and
chemical raw materials used as
drying oils and resin bases,”
Crawford said.
Recoverable material is estim
ated by experts to be worth up to
10-million dollars annually. The
waste, now being dumped into the
sea or allowed to rot at canneries,
includes the head, collar, tailpiece,
milt, roe and other inner parts.
With fishing Alaska’s largest in
dustry, its products are valued at
more than twice the total for min
erals, the Territory’s next most
important industry. Salmon ac
counts for £0 per cent of the value
of fish products. About 30,000 per
sons, of whom only 7,000 are resi
dents, are employed during the
fishing season, he said.
The research project has re
ceived the endorsement of Alaska
Governor Ernest Gruening. Alaska

terday, Dirksen said:
“The primary, all-compelling
reason for the action is wrapped
i up in the important consideration
of national defense. In the present
posture of world affairs. Alaska
has become a highly strategic bas
tion of the outer ramparts of
America and will, no doubt, con
‘ tinue to be for some time an im
p -riant link in the chain of na
tional security.”
, Dirksen said it was of the high
est importance that Alaska be
made as nearly as possible self
supporting with respect to agri
culture products.
“I have in my possession a let
ter from the then secretary of
war, Robert P. Paterson, empha
sizing this point,” he continued.
‘‘This consideration is also em
phatically underscored by the re
| cent near famine conditions which
I obtained in Alaska as a result of
j the shipping strike, as well as the
situation during the war when
j threat of enemy action to cut off
: sea communications necessitated
, the expenditure of large sums of
money in construction of the Al
i can highway.
‘‘If, which Providence forbid,
there should be a third world war,
Alaska might turn out to be an
other Pearl Harbor. Steps to min
| imize such a possibility should be
taken without delay.”
Dirksen said the action of Con
gress does not contemplate the
abolition of the university experi
ment station nor the permanent
discontinuance of making funds
for grants to it.
Dirksen predicted that in the
not distant future Alaska will be
come a state.
I he sub-committee chairman
said in his account in the Congres
sional Record he had received
complaints that the work of the
university in agriculture research
is “generally in very bad repute”
and said it was the opinion of of
ficials of the experiment station
that the president of the univers
ity and director of Agriculture re
search “are wholly lacking in
qualification for or interest in car-1
rving on effective agriculture re
search; that the principal objec
tive has been to produce food for
the university d’ning table.”
He said the bill enacted by Con
gress had been praised bv the edi
tor of the Anchorage Daily Times,1
the business and professional wo
men’s club at Fairbanks, the Mat
anuska Valley Chamber of Com
merce, the Tanana Valley Farm
ers Association and the Wasilla
Grange No. 2 of Wasilla, Alaska.
Dirksen said that though Bart
lett had assailed the legislation he
was in the House the day it wasj
passed but had not spoken against
it. . I
