Study Fisheries
Says Rep. Tollefson
ASBURY PARK, NJ.,— </P)—
Lack of Federal appropriations to
carry on an adequate research and
conservation study is causing the
depletion of the nation’s fisher
ies, Rep. Thor C. Tollefson (R
Wash) told the nation’s Oyster
Growers and Dealers yesterday.
The Tacoma congressman was
a principal speaker at the joint
annual conference of Oyster Grow
ers and Dealers Association of
North America, the National Shell
Fisheries Association, and the Oy
ster Institute of North America.
He urged an organized Fed
eral Fisheries program on a par
with agriculture.
For a long time, Tollefson said,
Federal agencies have regarded
commercial fisheries “as a for
gotten stepchild rather than a
vital part in our economic life.”
