| Herring report
' pear before the hearings, ap
peared out of the blue and took
the stand. He intimated that
changes in the policies of the
Fish and Wildlife Service in
| Washington. D. C., were “in the
. mill,” I believe were his words
| and that he was not at liberty
• to divulge the change at this
i time.
j In our brief before 'the Fish
and Wildlife meeting on Octo
i ber 21, we showed negligence
by the herring reduction plant
I operators through the years
i by insisting that the regulations
be made according to biologic
al research — yet not request
ing congress to appropriate
fundJs for research in Alaska.
This is the way we put it in the
brief:
“We, the fishermen of Alas
ka screamed but it didn’t make
a ripple by the time it reached
Washington, D. C. What did
this industry that has grown
fat from Alaska’s resource thr
oughout the years do? Did they
use their influence while they
were lobbying back in Wash
ington to get more money for
research — or did they use
their influence on the biolog
ists to have them make their
decisions from research done in
other countries?
“Are other countries more'
important than ours?
“Three years algo we began ;
urging that our herring popula
tion be protected until there is
again abundance. And this is
not just fishermen but practic
ally all Alaskans. Just this
year $22,000 has been appro
priated for herring research in
Aaska. Alaskans believe that
our herring do not follow the
pattern of those set in other,
countries. We know from ex
perience it is possible to over
fish the species that we have.”
We further pointed out the
facts as are known by the ex- :
perience of Alaskans; and we
stressed the greediness of the
operators as follows:
“This year we logged the her-1
ring seiners in and out of She- (
likpf Bay and I find on July 2, j
.hey took 1406 barrels of her-j
ring with the senier Invader]
brailinlg until around seven-;
thirty o’clock in the evening.
The season closed at six o’clock
This is rather a small amount
of herring for six seiners mill
in\g around for hours to get.
And all of the boats must have
known that their quota of 50.
000 barrels had already been
filled. You see, they overfished
the first half of their quota by
3741 barrels.”
The operators seemed a lit
de awed by the facts we pre
sented and when the Oceanic
representative got on the floor
he suggested that the situation
was serious and proposed the
operators meet with the trollers
! and try to work out a solution
! to our problem between us. I
agreed.
Ait two o’clock on Friday aft
ernoon, three reduction plant
operators, two herring union
representatives, a Mr. Hansen,
a herring fisherman; Gay Hel
land of McCallum-Legtaz; and
Walt Johnson of the Halibut
Producers Cooperative, four
Strollers and myself met aboard
| the troller “Sound” at the Ter
J minal in Salmon Bay. The
i meeting lasted until six o’clock
(They agreed to meet among
themselves and draft their sug
gest ions to the Fish and Wild
life Service and send us a copy
for our approval or disappro
val and then try to work a plan
or operation that would be a
1 greeable to all parties.
-----
( I talked with Mr. McKernan
of the Fish and Wildlife in
June am and he has a plan to
’ establish a board made up of
Alaskans, fishermen and oper
ators to discuss regulations
and to try to reach an amic
able decision in the taking of
herring in Souteastern Alaska
waters. , i*
' Personally I feel (that we
have miade progress. As far as
I can learn now is the first
. time that the reduction plant
operators have ever reoogniz
* ed an organization of ifisher
‘ men and have offered to com>
: promise our differences.

Sports Trail
They finished last in the Amer
ican League race this year, so
could dispose of the entire
team and sign a bunch of little
known players from the stand
point of position, as last is last
from any angle you look at it.
Their only hope for the fu
ture is in bravely embarking
on what might be called char
acter-(building seasons, getting
young fellows of promise with
the hope that eventually they
will improve to the point the
team can rate as a pennant con
tender.
The Red Sox situation is al
most directly opposite. They
aren’t thinking in terms
of the distant future. They
want help right now. meaning
next year They are close eno
ugh to being a first place team
that a couple of additions in
the right places might make
the difference.
Consequently, they aren’t
concerned albout the ages of
their hired help. A mian might
be too old two years from now,
but next year he mighS. not be
too old, and it’s next year they
are interested in.
Vernon is 37, and will be 38
a few days after the season
oipens. Bait he’s still a good ball
player, and should be good for
ait least one more year. Porter
field is only 31 and should be
in his prime, with several 'good
years ahead of him.
There are reports Porterfield
and Dressen weren’t exactly a
mutual admiration society, and
if true that may account for the
fact he was included in the
shipment to Boston,
j At any hate, we rate him as
•he big man in the deal from
I the Red iSox standpoint. The
j Sox already have an adequate
i first baseman in Norm Zauhin,
| so probably could get along
j without Vernon. In fact it
j wouldn’t be surprised if Ver
non just has a stopover 'ticket
at Boston and will be some
where else when the 1956 sea
son opens.
But any club can cse a good
pitcher, and Porterfield quali
fies there. They’ll have to put
<a 24 hour guard on him to keep
him from getl ing hurt, how
ever.
! He’s had more accidents than
a hunting season — broken
jaws, broken legs, concussions.
He even managed to hurt him
self while standing in a run
ffway to a duigout. A match book
exploded in his pitching hand.
He didn’t even have to wait
for a season to start before yell
ing “ouch.” He was conked by
a line drive in training early
last spring.
But when he’s healthy, he’s
quite a pitcher, although puz
zled critics of 'the deal don’t
think he can compare with
Cronin. They think Joe threw
Cal Griffith the world’s best
curve.
