Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts
A. P. News Analyst
Great Britain is toeing critic
iz&d in the United States for
supporting Yugosalvia’s can
didacy for the United Nations
security council, which could
turn out to toe a very smiarlt
action.
There is a tendency in the
United States to speak of ‘splits’
on tactical diversities in almost
the same tone of voice in which
(fundamental differences be
tween the allies are discussed.
But there is a vast difference
between division over proced
ure and over strategy, such as
that (between Britain and the
United States in the Far Bast.
Oddly enough, the reasons
given toy British and others for
supporting Yugoslavia against
the American choice of the Phil
ippines have skipped what
seems to me Ito be the major
argument in favor of Yugosla
via's seating.
Soviet Russia proposed Yugo
slavia as a compromise after
toeing toeatcn on Poland. Russia
is trying ito consolidate recent
suitface renewal of friendship
with Yugoslavia. To many West
erners, that is reason enough
for them to oppose.
Another is ‘that, even after
the Cominfonm break in 1948,
Yugoslavia continued to vote
in conformity with the commiun
ist Ibloe in the U. N. but 'the
tests were largely on social and
ideological matters. Since she
had no veto, her presence on
the security council in 1950
meant merely one vote against
the decision to resist aggression
in Korea.
Probably the chief reason
tor British and British Com
monwealth support for Yugo
slavia is their desire to keep in
eflfect the 1946 gentlemen’s a
greement for regional represen
iation on ithe security council.
The United States contends
that although it has been gen
erally applied, the gentlemen’s
agreement really covered only
the first year of security coun
cil operation.
Some Europeans also pointed:
out that Europe is not heavily1
represented on the council and,
looking toward the future, that
it would have but one seat —
that of France — without east
ern Europe.
The British also look upon
the move as a goodwill gesture
toward Yugoslavia in the pre
sent content for her affections
between Russia and the allies. ;
Overriding all this, however,
is that iputting Yugoslavia in
the council means she iwill have
to stand up and be counted.
What she does will reveal, 'far
more clearly than any answer
she may make to diplomatic in
quiries. where those affections
really lie. Then the allies can
act accordingly with regard to
economic and military7 aid, and
the dependence to be placed on
her policies.

ANCHORAGE (/P) One of
the air force’s newest, fastest
and most versatile interceptor
jets may soon 'be a familiar1
sight in Alaskan skies. It was
learned from an unofficial but
reliable source the air force is
making plans for Arctic cold
weather tests on the new F10

dilation for air force fighter
interceptor commands.
FAIRBANKS </P) A weeks
search along a desolate stretch
of the Yukon River has failed
to yield a clue to the fate of
bush pilot Garfield Hansen,
and his two passengers.
The three men, all of Tanana
vanished on a 100 mile flight a
week ago Monday from Ruby
to their home village.
The 30 year old pilot, who
has lived in Alaska for three
years and is widely known for
his own rescue missions, made
his last radio report about 20
miles from his destination. He
started to make another 13 min
utes later but his only words
were: “Lost con.w Then
snow and darkness swallowed
the trio.
The prevailing theory is that
the plane went into the river,
which as not yet frozen. Han
sen’s passengers were Bob
Swenson and Vincent Olin, life
■onjg- residents of Tanana.

LEAVES FOR JUNEAU
Mrs. Doris Barnes, president
of the territorial federation of
B. P. W. Cluibs, left yesterday
for Juneau where the local
B. P. W. Cluib plans a recep
tion and dinner in her honor
tonight.
While there for the Alaska
Day Festival, she attended a
meetinjg of the Mt. Edgecumbe
B. P. W. Cluib and gave a re
port of the recent national and
western regional conventions;
FISTERIES HEARINGS
not allow any more Igear ito
come to Alaska,” said Donald
McKernan. administrator of j
Alaska commercial fisheries for!
the service. “We propose to
tabulate all the (boats that have
fished in Alaska in any one of
the past five years and not al
low any new boats to be used.”
All fishing gear in Alaska
would ibe licensed, and no lic
! ense would Ibe issued to boats
| not used in any one of the past
'five years. This would set a,
ceiling on the fishing effort in
Alaska.
Influx of large numbers of
outside purse seine boats to
southeastern Alaska and the
'Kodiak area -would be prevent
ed; there could be no substan
tial increase in Bristol Bay
fishing, and additional fixed
gear would not be permitted.
The service also plans to
prohibit fishing by gill nets or
purse seines on the high seas
beyond the three-mile limit.
This would prevent birth of a
new offshore fishery in the
Gulf of Alaska or off the Alas
kan Peinsula.
C. Howard Raltzo, one of
MoKernan’s assistants, also
said the service plans contin
uation of the basic salmon fish
eries restrictive program of
■ 1954-55 for another two years
— with reconsideration at the
end of the 1956 season.
"You can no lontger expect
cooperation from operators,”
responded W. C. Arnold of Se-1
attle, managing director of Al
aska Salmon Industries, Inc.
Arnold recalled that opera
tors cooperated in the 1954-55
restrictions, which permitted
operation of only half of the
fish traps and limited fishing
boats to certain areas and cer
tain periods each week.
Arnold pointed out under a
bill offered in congress by Al
aska’s delegate, E. L. Bartlett
and endorsed by interior secre
tary McKay, all salmon traps
would Ibe outlawed in five
years. Any traps closed under
the 1956 curtailment would be
closed permanently, Arnold
charged.
McKernan said he proposes
a compromise under which
traps closed in 1956 would not
necessarily remain so perma
nently.
Bartlett said in Juneau ear
lier this week that he would
amend his bill so that :it
; would not discriminate &
| gainst traps which were clos
ed in any of the years 1953
through 1956.
A number of witnesses said
prices for halibut, tuna and
other fish were being forced
down by foreign competition.
Mrs. Gus Molvik, president
of the Halibut Fishermen’s
Wives’ Association, said the
importation of other white
meat fish at low prices prott
ably was responsible for the
sharp reduction.
Nick P. Kuljus, secretary of
the Fishermen’s Marketing As'
sociation of Washington, said
importation of groundfish fil
lets bad increased from 9,000,
000 pounds in 1945 to 135,000
000 pounds last year. In the
same period, he said, trawling
operations in this state have
been reduced from more than
200 vessels to albout 30.
Joe Krause, representing the
Southeast Alaska Seine Boat
Association, said sea lions are
taking more fish than all Al
aska fishermen. Krause said
Canada has “declared war” on
the sea lions, and the mammals
now are moving into Alaska
waters in increased numbers.
