Uruguay To Stage
Fur Comebaek
_ I
WASHINGTON, — The fish
and wildlife service disclosed yes-'
terday a project designed to help
Uruguay make a comeback in the
fur seal industry in which the
United States has established a vir
tual monopoly.
The angency said it has sent
Raul Vaz Ferriera, Montevideo bi
ologist, to the Pribilof islands of
Alaska to study the sealing opera
tions which have helped build the
U. S. heard from 132,000 animals
in 1910 to more than 3,600,000,
worth an estimated $100,000,000.
In addition to experience with
the Pribilof harvest and initial
handling of raw pelts, the Uru
guayan will receive—during his
year’s studies ending April 1—
training in the tanning of fur seals
according to the highly-secret pro
cesses developed by the Foulke
F\ir Co., of St. Louis, Mo. This^
company processes all Pribilof
skins except for some that are sent
to a London concern.
Costs of the training are being
shared by the United States and
Uruguayan governments. Aside
from the Pribilofs, which produce
80 per cent of the world’s fur
seals, the only commercially im
portant herds are off Uruguay and
off South America’s Cape of Good
Hope. Neither of these countries
has had seal-rearing successes
comparable with those of the
United States.

LAKE SUCCESS. (JP) — Russia
today used the veto twice in rapid
succession to block action on the
applications of Italy and Austria
for membership in the United Na
tions. *
These were the sixth and sev
enth Soviet vetoes cast this week
and they ran the Russian string to
a total of 18 against majority de
cisions in the security council.
On both Italy and Austria, the!
vote was not on immediate admis- j
sion, but on Australian proposals
to leave the decision up to the
general assembly which meets in
New York Sept. 16.
The vote on Austria was 8 to 1, ]
with France and Poland abstain-!
ing.
The vote on Italy was 9 to 1,
with Poland abstaining.
The action came after the United
Nations security council had re
jected Hungary’s application for
U. N. membership by a vote of
1 to 1, with nine abstentations.
The United States, which had
advocated immediate admission of
Italy, did not press for further ac
tion after the Soviet veto. The
Australian resolution, instead of,
calling for admission now, left the
question up to the general assem
bly.
Dog Finds New- j
Born Baby
- t
CHICAGO, (/P)—There’s a blue-,
eyed, red-haired baby boy in St.j
Vincent’s orphanage today, and al
though he doesn’t know it, he owes |
a lot to a persistent little mongrel
dog named Pal.
Pal, the pet of nine-year-old
Jack Hand was trotting down an
alley yesterday with his master.
Suddenly he stopped, nuzzled a
basket lying on the pavement.
Jack called him, he later told
police, but Pal sniffed and barked,
calling his master back to the bas
ket.
Inside the basket, wrapped in
newspapers the youngster found
a baby. Jack’s mother, Mrs. La
Verne Hand, and police rushed
the infant to a hospital, where
three physicians said the child
probably had been born without
medical aid about six hours previ
ously. The baby was in tip-top
health.

Rush To Marry 1

YOKOHAMA. (/P>—Eager little
Japanese girls made an eleventh-;
hour rush to marry American hus-1
bands yesterday and beat the
deadline for entry into the “fabu- j
lous” United States.
Midnight last night ended the
one-month period during which
the U. S. Congress lifted the ban
on Japanese immigration to enable
war veterans to marry and take
home girls met in this occupied
country.
In most cases, Nisei soldiers
• American-born Japanese* were
marrying the Japanese girls, but
there was a sprinkling of white
civilians—perhaps 30, who had
asked to be discharged from the
army here to take occupation jobs
rather than leave their Oriental
sweethearts.
The most talked-about marriage
during the period was that of for
mer Lt. Frank White of Somerset,
Pa., to pretty Pia Kurusu, daugh
ter of former ambassador Saburo
Kurusu, who was negotiating in
Washington during the attack on
Pearl Harbor. They were married
Aug. 14.
Northwest Having
Big Salmon Season
ASTORIA, Ore. (£*)—Columbia
river canneries, running day and
night in an attempt to keep up
with fishermen, today were in the
midst of their best August Chinook
salmon season since 1941.
Deliveries were averaging 1000
pounds a boat. One landing scaled
3000 pounds. Since the run began
last week, gillnetters have aver
aged 10,000 pounds of salmon.
Fewer independents were in the
buying market. One, who had
Been paying 4 cents above the go
ing price, quit the market yester
day.
Tuna deliveries slackened be
cause of rough weather, although
fishermen said there still were
“plenty of albacore” off shore.
We on the home front may not
like to shovel snow but at least
we didn’t have to sleep in it.

France Opposes !
Raising German
Production
LONDON, i/P) — France was
called upon today to state her
case against British-American pro
posals for raising the level of Ger
man industry, as representatives
of the three allies convened in a
conference blasted by the Soviet
Union as a • circumvention of the
I
Postdam agreement.
French diplomats, predicting
the conference would last two or
three days at the most, declined to1
discuss their position before the
start of the talks, which opened
behind closed doors. But the
French case was known to hinge
upon a contention that a rise in j
German production would be atj
the expense of industrial rehabili
tation of other western European
nations.
Fr§e Whiskey
In Truck Crash
NEW YORK, (/P)—An elevated
pillar got in the way of a well
stocked liquor truck today on the
Bowery. Result: the biggest free
binge in the memory of the street’s
thirsty habitues.
Within minutes after the <?rash
occurred, men rushed from door
ways and cheap lodging houses to
clamor around a golden stream of
liquor—Scotch laced with rye—
pouring from the side of the truck.

GOP Seek To Drop
War Investigating
Committee
FALL RIVER, Mass. (/P)—Sena
tor Brewster <R.-Me.> announced
yesterday that Republicans will
not ask for an extension of the life
of the Senate war investigating
committee beyond next January
31.
Brewster, who heads the contro
versy-enveloped committee, told a
reporter he is “certain” the group
will resume its investigation of
Howard Hughes’ wartime plane
contracts on November 17.
But the Maine Senator, here to
attend Fall River’s celebration of
“Joe Martin Day,’ said he and
other Republicans have no inten
tion of suggesting that the group,
once headed by President Truman
when the latter was a Senator,
continue its inquiries in the next
session of Congress.
Senate Democrats nave made it
plain they would fight any such
move.

would hold liquid.
As the driver, who had lost con
trol of his truck, and his helper
were carted off to have bruises
and cuts patched up, one Bowery
denizen held a jug aloft in a
toast.
“What a driver,” he shouted.
“God bless him!”
