E. Reesman Fryer, director of
resources for the office of Indian
affairs told a reporter he had been
assured, by local observers in Alas
ka, the traps would be abolished
by a two-to-one vote.
“It appears that the Metlakatla
Indians will vote against the mea
sure, but all the other Indians and
most of the whites will vote to get
‘ rid of the traps,” Fryere said.
Howard Baltzo, acting director
of Alaska fisheries for the fish !
and wildlife service, said, however,
that miners and others living in
the interior, with no direct inter
est in the fish-trap controversy,
may vote in support of trap own
ers.
F u 11-page advertisements in
Alaska newspapers have aroused
election interest.
Fryer, who returned a few days
ago from Alaska, said the Indians
contend that a single trap wipes
out employment for 50 men and
several boats.

A British white paper outlined
again the highlights of the western
charges against the Soviet Union.
The 40,000-word document, re

ing thousands of Germans in con

White Paper paralleled the state

In the U. N. political committee
today Britain urged that the
United Nations blame the Soviet
bloc for thwarting an agreement
on disarmament. A resolution pre

controlled and reduced only “in
an atmosphere of international
confidence.” j
Britain said the Soviet bloc re
fused to agree on a system of
regula ing and reducing arma

by o her members of the United
Nations. Russia has called for a
straight one-third reduction in
armaments, but has refused to give
information on her own armed

In Britain there was a stormy

that World War III might arise
over the Berlin issue. Emanuel,

U. S. May Curtail
Importation of
Canadian Potatoes
WASHINGTON, (/P)—An agree
ment may be reached between
Canada and the United States to
curtail imports of Canadian pota
toes it was indicated Saturday.
Rep. Tugust H. Andresen CR
Minn.) has charged that the U. S.
government was, in effect, sup
porting the price of Canadian po
tatoes in the face of huge domes
tic surplus which may cost it up
to $100,000,000 under the support
program.
Andresen said President Truman
has the power to stop the imports
but has failed to act.
An agriculture department of
ficial told a reporter that repre
sentatives of the state and agricul
ture departments met recently
wi.h officials of the Canadian gov
ernment to discuss the situation.
“It was agreed at this confer
ence that it would be desirable if a
mutually satisfactory arrangement
could be worked out to cut down
on the imports of potatoes from
Canada,” the official said.
“Further studies will be made,
however, before any final decision
or agreement is arrived at.”
