Large Schools Of
Tuna Sighted 111
Gulf Of Alaska
SEATTLE _—Large schools of
tuna, covering an area two miles
square, were sighted in the Gulf
of Alaska early this week, a fish
ing industry official reported here
yesterday on arrival from Seward.
It was the farthest north tuna
have been reported in any such
volume.
W. J. Pege, general manager of
the Seward Fish and Cold Storage
Company, said the tuna were seen
during his voyage from Seward
aboar^ the motorship Garland.
“The water was fairly “boil
ing” with tuna over a radius of
two square miles,” Pege said. “I
was especially interested because
we have never been able to get
any tuna in our plant at Seward.
Maybe they’re moving north. We
may get some yet.”
The tuna bonanza blackened
; the Welters off Cape St. Elias,
' roughly half way across the Gull
of Alaska about 220 miles south
west of Seward in a line with
' Cape Spencer, Pege said.
In hopes of aiding fishermer
to find the area, Pege took a “fix’
at the spot, using navigational in
struments to determine its exac
position.
It was 59.17 degrees north lati
tude. 142.54 degrees west long;
tude, 47 miles 200 degrees true
from Cape Yukataga. Depth of the
water was 1,420 fathoms.
Pege, in his excitement, neglect
1 ed to take water temperature un
til an hour after the ship passed
the school which put it about Id
miles sout hof the area. At lha1
point, however, the temperature
■ was 50 degrees, he said.
Farthest north tuna had been re
i ported previously was the Walker
Seamount area, 300 miles off Bar
anof Island, by the fish and wild
: life servoce exploratory vessel
Oregon which returned to Seat
tle recently. The Oregon went as
1 far north as Sitka in search ot
tuna, but found none that far up

Subs Will Not
Launch A Bombs
—
PEARL HARBOR, t/P) — Cmdr
John S. McCain, Jr. was misquoted
by the Associated Press this week
in a dispatch reporting submarine
launched missiles could carry an
, atomic bomb.
The dispatch dealt with a nev>
announcement of plans to launch
missiles from two submarines ofl
Hawaii Nov. 7.
The Associated Press reporter
confronted with Commander Mc
Cain’s denial, today conceded he
misquoted him. The reporter said
“When Commander McCain fin
ished answering questions con
cerning the plan to launch missile
from two submarines, he was
asked if they would contain an
atom bomb war head. I thought
McCain answered affirmatively. I
must concede I misquoted him."
“The fact it,” Commander Mc
Cain said yesterday in his denial
of the (/Pi report. ‘I don't know
anything about the atom bomb. In
my naval experience. I’ve never
had anything to do with atomic
experiments.”
Commander McCain is in
charge of submarine guided mis
sile development. What he said
was: “The submarine, with guided
missiles, has become a siege bom
bardment weapon.”

Catholic Information
Modern minds shall pass away, but . . .
Nineteen hundred years ago a
! Roman orator was publicly scoff
i ing at the teachings of the follow
! ers of Christ; and as he wasspeak
' ing a priest in the catacombs was
| saying a Requiem Mass, while a
j woman was weeping and smiling
and praying.
She was weeping because of the
loss of a beloved husband. She
was smiling because he had con
i fessed his sins to a priest and had
gone to his death with his God in
this breast. She was praying be
cause she believed God would heed
her entreaties to take her husband
soon from Purgatory into Heaven.
Today many blind leaders of the
blind are preaching against the
“absurdities” of Heaven and Hell
i and other fundamental Christian
beliefs; and while they are preach
ing other widows are weeping and
smiling and praying for exactly
the same reasons as the woman in
the catacombs nineteen hundred
years before.
Nineteen hundred years hence,
a new crop of blind teachers will
be resurrecting dead and discount
ed heresies of the ages before and
preaching them as the latest vari
ants of “Modern Thought” and
“Scientific Enlightenment.”
And while they are preaching.
! Catholics of the 39th century will
be assisting at Mass, confessing to
a priest, praying for their dead in
Purgatory, and adhering to all the
Catholic beliefs that we adhere to
today—that the early Christians
believed and taught in the first
Christian century.
For every Catholic knows that
neither time nor man can alter by
a whit the truths which God re
vealed to man and about which
Christ Himself said: “Heaven and
earth shall pass away, but my
word shall not pass away” 'Mark
13-31).
I
Every day on the second day of
Novemoer 'All Souls’ Day) every
Catholic priest throughout the
world offers up Mass for all de
parted souls. During the entire
month of November, the Church
exhorts every Catholic in the
world to remember in his prayers
the dead of all ages and all peo
ples. So you see. dear Neighbor, we
Catholics pray regularly for your
departed one sand some day we
shall be praying for the welfare of
your own immortal soul.
