Seek New Southern
Fishing Grounds
WASHINGTON, </P) —Finding
of new fishing grounds in the Gulf
of Mexico and Pacific Ocean off
Lower California is the object of
legislation introduced in the
House by Rep. Colmer <D.-Miss.»
Colmer’s bill would authorize
transfers of the trawlers Alaska
and Oregon, now held by the re
construction Finance corporation,
to the fish and wildlife service.
The vessels would be used by
the latter agency for fisheries re
search work in the Gulf and coast
al areas.
Colmer said this work primar
ily would be the location of new
fishing grounds.
"They will work in the Gulf of
Mexico and the Pacific off of
Mexico and Lower California,”
Colmer told a reporter. “One of
the objectives would be location
of tuna fishing grounds.”
This exploratory work, he said,
ties in with establishment of new
fish cannery industries in the
Gulf area.

cally on two issues: an exact un
derstanding as to what would be
involved in any agreement to lift
the blockade and a proposed time
table.
A U. S. spokesman said this
switch to a formal exchange of
notes probably would result in
some delay in getting Russia’s
views.
It was expected, he said, that
Malik would transmit the Ameri
can note to his immediate superior
here, deputy foreign minister An

probably would have to consult
Moscow before replying.

Railway Express
Raises Icing Rates
CHICAGO, CP) — A west coast
fish packer said today a 25 per
cent increase in icing rates asked
by the Railway Express Agency
would add $20,000,000 to the con
sumer’s annual bill for fish and
seafood.
E. A. Rutherford, vice president
of the San Juan Fishing and Pack
ing company, Seattle, Wash., op
posed the express company’s rc-1
quest in a speech before the an
nual convention of the national
fisheries institute.
He is chairman of the conven
tion’s traffic committee. The pro
posed rate increase would apply
to fresh and frozen fish and shell
fish products.
“Unless R. E. A. is able and
willing to improve its refrigera
tion facilities at costs commensur
ate with consumers’ interests, then
we will look more and more to re
frigerated trucks and airlines to1
deliver our products,’’ Rutherford
said.
A hearing on the rote proposal
resumes here May 2.

12-YEAR-OLD STARTS OUT IN
WORLD "ON HIS OWN"
SEATTLE,* i/P) — The 12-year
old son of a University of Wash
ington professor spent his last
dime for food last night in a Fair
field, Calif., restaurant, and then
began to cry.
Police then re-united the boy,
Heath Engle, with his parents, Dr.
and Mrs. Nathanael Engie, by
telephone.
The youth had ran away April
5 to “see the world on his own.”
He told police chief Hex Clift at
Fairfield that he set Oakland as
his goal because an Oakland man
he met here had promised him a
job. He couldn’t remember the
man’s name.
Dr. Engle is director of the bur
eau of business research at the
university.
The “America” discovered by
Columbus in 1492 was one of the j
Bahamas Islands, according to'
some authorities.
