less concerned with the need of
the American navy for oil,” Wal

that push for oil.”

Russians Poach On
U. S. Fishing Water
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Senator
Magnuson (D.-Wash.) complained
to the state department today that
Russians using 16 ships which the
United States gave the Soviet
Union during the war have “in
vaded” north Pacific fishing wa
ters customarily fished by Ameri
cans.
Furthermore, Magnuson said in
a letter to secretary Marshall, he is
informed the Russians intend to
sell the fish in American markets.
“Our humanitarianism in help
ing them win the war,” Magnuson
said, “is proving a double-edged
economic sword.”
Magnuson declared the fish in
dustry of this country has little
tariff protection and that Iceland
and Scandinavian countries al
ready are “flooding the market”
with foreign fish.
He said the north Pacific fishing
fleet must get under way in a
month’s time and asked Marshall
to determine in advance what Rus
sia plans to do.
“We should provide protection
for the fishing industry from this
threat just as quickly as possible,”
Magnuson said.

SEATTLE, (iP)—Progress in con
tract negotiations between can
nery owners and the international
association of machinists, Hope
Lodge 79, was reported today by
I. A. Sandvigen, business agent.
"We have never been dead
locked, and we’ll probably come
close to settling today,” he said. “It
will take about a week to get con
tracts approved by membership
and signed.”
Cannery workers must start
north soon to take full advantage
of fishing seasons. Negotiations
hinge upon “lots of contract
changes,” he said. Officials of the
independent union met with
spokesmen for Alaska Salmon In

tor Albin L. Peterson from 9 a.m.
