Will Press for Rail
Line To Alaska
SEATTLE, (/P) — Legislation
pointing toward construction of a
railroad link between Seattle and i
Alaska will be pressed in the 81st
Congress, Homer R. Jones, (R
Wash.) declared here yesterday.
Jones, who sponsored a concur
rent resolution seeking negotia
tions between the United States
and Canada for a railroad right
of-way, said it wuuld be reintro
duced early in January.
“The chances for the project are
excellent if it is pushed vigorous
ly,” Jones said. “The railroad
would provide a vital defense link
with the northern territory and is
essential to the development of
the Territory. The time element
prevented the resolution’s adop
tion by th last Congress, and I
feel confident we can get the new
Congress to take action.”

Russia Violates
Danish Territory

(By Lasse Lemkow)
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, </P)
Danish naval authorities said some ,
50 Russian planes violated Danish
territory in flights about Born
holm island and Russian naval ^
units were seen north of the is- ,
land near Denmark’s territorial
waters yesterday.
The authorities said Soviet de
stroyers and a few heavy cruisers
were easily recognizable as they
neared Danish waters. They said
they believed these movements
were part of naval maneuvers.
Russian forces occupied Born
holm Island in the spring of 1945
and remained about 10 months.
The • withdrawal came in the
spring of 1946, after repeated Dan
ish protests.
j that it would take favorable ac
tion.
ON THi BALLOT in the October 12 election there will be a referendum on "the practice of fishing by means of traps
should be continued or.should be abolished.” To abolish traps, we believe, would amount to confiscation and would
permanently iniure the Territory of Alaska.

There are 415 salmon traps in Alaska. Their loca

_ %
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. If traps were a
menace to future salmon runs, these experts could
and would close any or all traps.

Salmon traps are stationary. Therefore, they are
easier to patrol and regulate. Their locations are
determined by experts on conservation.

Salmon traps are limited by law as to the number
of hours they can operate—they may MOT operate
any longer than competing forms of gear.
