Pacific Marine
Fisheries Meets
SAN FRANCISCO (JP)—'The Pa
cific Marine Fisheries commission
invited AlasRa, Hawaii, Canada
and Mexico to join Friday.
Members are California, Oregon
and Washington.
Representatives from the three
states, Alaska, the state depart
ment, and the U. S. fish and wild
life service attended the meeting,
which concluded Friday afternoon.
The commission recommended
the renewal—with little change—
of tuna fishing treaties with Mex
ico and Costa Rica.
It also made recommendations
for the international halibut treaty
among the three states, Alaska and
Canada. The only change was that
sablefish be eliminated from the
treaty. ’
Alvin Anderson, director of the
Washington State Fisheries, said
the practice of using chemicals in
irrigation ditches “is (seriously en
dangering the salmon runs in the
three states.”
The commission voted to inves
tigate the extent -cA damage done
to the natural habitat of salmon
by the chemicals and also by “ex
cessive use” of water for irriga
tion.
Also outlined -were preliminary
plans for marking one to two mil
lion silver Chinook salmon. This
will be done as soon as the mem
* * * , *
ber states are prepared. Marking
is done to determine the migra
tion of salmon, their habits and
other biological factors.

Navy Concludes
Underwater Tests
Near Aleutians
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (^—Com
pletion of secret research work in
Alaskan waters by United States
and Canadian scientists was an
nounced yesterday by the navy.
The announcement gave few
details, beyond the fact that the
ships operated off the Aleutian Is
lands, testing experimental under
water sound equipment and chart
ing oceanographic conditions in
northern latitudes.
Dr. Waldo K. Lyon of the navy
electronics laboratory here was I
chief scientist of the expedition.
Top Canadian scientist was Dr.
John P. Tully, chief oceanographer
of the Pacific oceanographic group,
joint oceanographic committee of
Canada.
The submarine Baya, equipped
as an underwater laboratory for
use of the electronics laboratory,
returned to port yesterday. An
other laboratory vessel is due next
week. The Canadian navy’s exper
imental vessel, the Cedarwood, al
so participated in the expedition.
Navy Starts
Laying-Up Ships
WASHINGTON, </P>—1The navy,
with an ear to predictions of
broadscale reductions in military
spending in the next fiscal year,
already is getting ready to put
more warships on the shelf.
Starting later this month, the
navy will begin to take ships out
of the active fleet and tie them up.
The program will conti n u e
throughout the rest of this year
and in the first half of next. The
idea is that by the time the navy
starts operating with funds for the
1951 fiscal year (starting next July
1) it will be pared down to fit the
present guess of navy officials
about the budget’s size.
So the laid-up fleet, along with
several carriers, will go other
ships that support modern day car
rier task forces—including de
stroyers and probably more cruis
ers.

Tito Dares Russia
To Go To U. N.
BELGRADE. Yugoslavia. </P) —
Yugoslavia dared Russia yesterday
to take her complaints against this
country to the United Nations.
Moshe Pijade, one of Premier
Marshal Tito’s top-ranking spokes
men, said in an article in the offi
cial newspaper, Borba:
"Yugoslavia will have nothing
to lose.”
Pijade’s blast, latest broadside in
the war of words between the
Kremlin and Tito’s regime, was
touched off by an article in the
Russian foreign policy weekly,
New Times, which accused Yu
goslavia of duplicity in her deal
ings with neighbor Albania.
Tito, meanwhile, has read Russia
a lesson from her own history
books, warning she intends to build
socialism in one country without
coaching from the Kremlin. "So
cilaism in one country” once was
the announced goal of * Premier
Stalin.
