Shortage Still
Very Critical
• By The Assocaited Press*
There was still a crucial power
shortage in the Pacific Northwest
yesterday, but there was no short
age of words about it.
Speakers at a conference of util
ity and industrial executives in
Seattle placed the blame for the
situation on the Bonneville Power
Administration’s sales to the alum
inum industry.
Kenneth Fisher, an executive of
the Fisher Flouring Mills, and L.
E. Karrer, executive vice-presi
dent of the Puget Sound Power
and company, said the BPA over
sold its capacity and is dipping
deep into the Pacific Northwest
power pool to meet its commit
ments.
Bonneville power administrator
Paul Raver bounced a hot retort:
"Ridiculous.”
Dr. Raver said he doubted util
ity operators were in a position to
give an "objective opinion on whe
ther too much Columbia River
power is going into aluminum pay
rolls and production.”
He added that at 2 p.m. Monday
the BPA delivered 525,000 kilo
watts to the private power com
panies of the northwest over and
above the power it delivered to the
aluminum companies and to its
public power agencies. This, he
said, was 225,000 kilowatts more
than the administration’s contrac
tual committments to the private
power companies .

Fishermen Want
Split Season
SEATTLE, (/P)—Halibut fisher
men and vessel owners have re
c nmended a split season to ex
ten 1 fishing and conserve stocks.
They testified before the inter
national fisheries commission
wlvch ended hearings here last
week.
The commission decided to re
tain May 1 as the opening date of
i the halibut season. If the split
season recommendation is follow
ed, however, the commission
i would halt fishing after eight to
15 million pounds of halibut is
[ taken, and the season would be
closed until June 1.
This would spread the season
and prevent concentration of fish
ing in a period of about 30 days
as in past years.
The split season recommenda
tion was among 15 changes pro
posed to the commission. Decisions
reached by the commission will be
forwarded to the federal govern
ments of Canada and United States
for approval.
No announcement of the 1949
regulations will be made, said
commission chairman G. W. Nick
; erson of Prince Rupert, B. C., un
! til they have been approved by
I the two governments.
A conference board of fishermen
and vessel owners proposed that
i Find Body Of
Murdered (»irl
TACOMA. bP) — A girl’s nude
frozen body found in a shallow
grave in an outlying park was
identified as that of a 17-year-old
beauty school student who has
been missing for two months.
The young student, Noreen Mc
Nicholas, disappeared after leav
ing home Nov. 5 to attend beauty
school classes. She never arrived.
Capt. John Kendersi of the
Pierce county sheriff’s office said
a 14-year-old member of the Taco
ma Boy’s club searching party
discovered the body. It was cov
ered with moss nad dirt at a spot
about 200 yards from the plJce
where the girl’s clothing was
found last Tuesday. Her purse had
been found earlier about 200 fqet
from the grave.
The name of the youth who
found the body was withheld.
Coroner Paul Mellinger said
marks indicated the girl was prob
ably strangled.
McNicholas said his daughter
had left home to walk to work the
morning she disappeared.
About 40,000 people can crowd
into the cathedral at Milan, Italy.
the annual quota of halibut
catches be raised to “whatever the
grounds can stand.”
