h e a dline, “Announcements” it
said:
“The presidium of the Supreme
Soviet of the U. S. S. R. has freed
deputy chairman of the council of
ministers, comrade V. M. Molotov
from duties as minister of foreign
affairs and designated as minist *r
of foreign affairs comrade A. Y.

“The*presidium of the Supreme

uty chairman of the council of
ministers of the U. S. S. R., com
rade A. I. Mikoyan, from duties as
minister of foreign trade and des
ignated as minister of foreign
trade, comrade Mens Ikov.”
There was no hint as to what
new jobs Molotov and Mikoyan
might be taking. It said nothing
about their being relieved, of their
duties of deputy chairman of ihe
I council of ministers. On the con
j trary it used those titles in refer
ring to them.
mere was no nint as to wuf.i
significance the changes might
portend.
• Diplomats in Lake Success.
London, Washington and other
: world caiptals were dumbfounded
, by the unheralded change. They
speculated that it might be pre
paratory to Molotov’s succeeding
j Prime Minister Josef Stalin, or
j than it meant that Molotov had
j been given the boot in order to ex
ecute a far-reaching change in
i Soviet policy in the cold war with
i the west. Others, recalling that Vi
j shinsky has been the most scath
ing denouncer of the United States
and the West in United Nations
speeches, sepculated that the Sov
iet was merely seeking a more ef
' fective instrument of the same
policy.
Molotov, 59, a starwart in the
communist party from its earliest
days and an insider almost from
the first, always has been known
as a “Stalin man.” He was pre
mier from 1930 to 1941 when Sta
lin took over the post himself in
the war emergency.

Alaska Ships She*
Fish To States
SHEE may not be a lady, bul
SHEE’s always good! SHEE fish,
that is.
The rare, delicious Kobuk shee
fish of Arctic waters hitherto
known only to a few trappers ami
sportsmen, and to Alaskans, will
soon delight the palates of restau
rant patrons all over the United
States, for the first time.
Shee fish had a highly success
ful debut in the States this week,
at a luncheon in Seattle marking .
the beginning of commercial ship
ments out of Alaska.
Sponsored by Graham Lammer:;
Alaska gold miner, shee fish is
being flown to Seattle by Pan
American Clippers. A special car
go rate to facilitate shipment of
the delicacy has been inaugurated
by the airline, Don Berard, PA/
cargo sales representative, an
nounced.
The fish reach Seattle in a mat
ter of hours after being hooked.
They are caught in Kotzebue
Sound, north of the Arctic Circle,
by Eskimos angling with carved
ivory lures through holes in the
10-foot thick ice.
In summer the fish may be
| caught by sportsmen in the rivers
of the area, and are considered
fine fighting game fish compar
able to tarpon.
Shee fish will always be a deli
cacy in the States according to,
I Lammers since no more than
100,000 pounds can be shipped
| each year.
i An unspotted fish with silvery
scales, shee is somewhat mysteri
; ous in origin, though believed to
be a cross between salmon and
whitefish, and is called Inconnu
(Unknown' by the Eskimos.
, Wien Alaska Airlines carry the
i fish from Kotzebue to Fairbanks,
for shipment by Pan American
from Fairbanks to Seattle.
S100.C00 WHARF FIRE
AT TACOMA
TACOMA, UP) — Loss was peg
ged at about $100,000 today in a
Sunday fire which consumed 30C
feet of wharf and threatened the
city’s major dockhouses and piers.
The estimate was by fire chief
C. J. Eisenbacher, who directed
a three-hour fight in which five
fire boats and all the city’s ground
pumpers took part. The navy also
sent two pumpers and a fire
barge.
The pier, 300 feet of which was
burned out, was loaded with tim
bers and steel for the new Tacoma
Narrows bridge, but the steel was
untouched by flames. Eisenbacher
reported.
The blaze star’ed, Eisenbacher
said, from the backfiring of a
winch.
One Hundred Ye«r» Ago today
Luther Burbank was born. He

famous for his origination,
i through cross breeding—of many
new plants, fruits, vegetables and
flowers.
