pounds of glue, 100,000 yards of head and foot bands, i

Fish Garbage May
Assure Survival
Salmon Industry
<AP Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Alaska’s
fish garbage may help assure the
survival of the Pacific Northwest
salmon industry, the Fish and
Wildlife Service said yesterday.
The agency said in a report that
Alaskan canneries throw away
50,000 tons of salmon viscera or
entrails each year.
It said its laboratories at Seattle
and Ketchkan have “successfully
tested this waste as a new source
of fish hatchery food to replace
the Pacific Northwest’s threatened
supply.”
The construction of dams on
major rivers in Washington and
Oregon has considerably reduced
the area of salmon spawning
grounds. To make up for this loss,
hatcheries are being increased in
size and many new hatcheries are
being built.
The agency said this produces
an abnormal drain o*n fish food
supply “already too high in price
and difficult to get.”
The agency estimates that about
30 percent of Alaska’s annual sal
mon catch of 360,000,000 pounds
is waste. It estimates the potential
value of this material, now
dumped into the sea or allowed
to rot at the canneries, at from
five to ten million dollars a year.

Jet Training Plane
Crashes, Killing
13 Soldiers
FORT DIX, N.J., (/P)—A flame- I
enveloped jet plane—raining fiery
death as it fought a losing battle
for altitude—plowed into a group
of soldiers Monday. Thirteen men,
including twin brothers, were
killed.
Twenty-one other soldiers were
burned or injured as the T-33 Air
Force trainer plane crashed mo
ments after taking off from near
by McGuire Air Base. The plane’s
two-man crew perished in the
wreckage.
Survivors said the plane bore
down on them “like a ball of fire’’
through trees, skimmed over a
truck partly-loaded with soldiers
and crashed about 50 feet away.
Lt. Bertram Brinley, Fort Dix
public information officer, said a
blazing wing-tip fuel tank, ap
parently jarred loose by trees,
dropped onto the truck, turning
it and its passengers into flaming
torches.
Indications Are That Labor
Leaders Prepared Support
Dem. Candidate In 1952
WASHINGTON, (JP) — New
blasts at Senator Taft (R-Ohio)
and the Taft-Hartley Act indicate
j some top labor leaders may be
: getting ready to throw their
strength behind a Democratic
presidential candidate again in
1952.
Condemning the labor act as
“an insult to the working people
j of America,” Wm. Green, presi
dent of the AFL, said the law o*f
which Taft was one of the prin
cipal authors “has made people
resentful and may turn their
faces toward communism.”
Dan Tobin, president of the
AFL Teamsters, predicted in a
union publication that Taft and
President Truman will be the
nominees of their respective par
ties. He said Taft is “an honor
able man” but holds “antagonism
to labor.”
He who waits long enough for
something to turn up may find it’s
only his toes.
Alaska Steam and Alaska
RR Offer Fare Reductions
To Alaska U. Students
To encourage students from the
States to attend the University of
Alaska, a joint tariff has been is

a one way fare. The new rate

pletion of his semester or year’s
enrollment at the University of
Alaska, return transportation from
Fairbanks to (Seward on the Al
aska Railroad and from Seward
to Seattle on the Alaska Steam
ship Company will be issued with
out further charge.
“We are much indebted to Mr.
D. E. Skinner, vice-president and
general manager of the Alaska
Steamship Company for this
splendid encouragement for state
side students to attend the Uni
versity of Alaska,” said Dr. Terris
Moore, president of the Univer
sity. “Mr. Skinner made the offer
to us when he was on the campus
this spring, stating that he would
like to see more students from
the states avail themselves of the
advantages offered by the Terri
torial University,” the president
said. “Mr. Skinner took up the
matter with Col. J. P. Johnson,
general manager of the Railroad,
and the joint tariff was estab
lished.”
The new rate also applies to
Summer Session students, the tar
