Russia Whaling
Operations Very
Successful, Report
WASHINGTON, —(/P)—Russia
short on fats and oils, is going
after whales in a big way—and
getting them too.
Soviet whaling fleets are haul
i ing home the blubber as never
before, the commerce department
reported today.
The Russian government gives
the fleets “goals” to work on. and
it’s steadily “raising sights” from
year to year, the report said.
The whaling fleet headed home
' for Odessa in late May with
j olaudits from the Russian press
I for fulfilling its assignment to
catch 800 whales with 10,000 met
ric tins of whale oil.
The fleet had been whale hunt
ing in Antarctic waters since last
October, carrying with it a float
ing factory capable of processing
15 large whales a day.
The Soviet is equally interested
in whaling in the Pacific, and
readied its Pacific flotilla for the
start of its season about the time
the other started home.
The Russians were reported to
have killed over 600 whales in the
| Pacific in the 1947 season, and the
Soviets figure their Pacific waters
now “justify a goal of 1,500 whales
a season,” the report said.
Whaling, which Americans had
abandoned years ago, was taken
up by the Soviets in 1932, when
they bagged only 22 whales.

Republicans.
Resolutions adopted at the Mt.
McKinley convention condemned
‘.he policies of Gov. Ernest Gruen
ing, and the appointment of other
than bonafide Alaskans to fed
eral positions in the Territory;
favored election of the Territorial
governor and set forth specif:c
procedures to be followed in cal
ling Republican Territorial con
ventions.
The resolution criticizing Gruen
ing expressed disapproval of “his
conduct of office under narrow
partisan attitudes by wh en he
has vilified the elected represen
tatives of the people of Alaska and
public misrepresented, through
employment of federal funds, the
actual political and economic situ
ations prevailing in Alaska.”
Another resolution voiced dis
approval of attempts by Delegate
E. L. Bartlett to block passage of
legislation that would enable Al
askans to elect their own gover
nor in 1950.
E. B. Collins of Fairbanks ser
ved as chairman of the McKinley
sessions; Jack Calvin of Sitka
was secretary and W. W. Laws of
Nome sergeant-at-arms.
Maurice T. Johnson, serving as
temporary chairman, termed the
Sitka convention of “White” Re
publicans a punch and judy show
lacking support by the rank and
file members of the party in Al
aska. *
He reiterated a complaint that
the Sitka meeting was called af
ter the McKinley convention had
been announced, without proper
and sufficient notice to permit
precinct caucuses and set on a
date when no boats were avail
able to the convention site in a
own located on an island in
southeastern Alaska wraters.
