A Ford, equipped with a V8 en

The parents were taken to the
Elmendorf Air Force hospital in
Anchorage later in the day for fur

Kimbro is from Mercede, Calif.,
and his wife from Mariposa, Calif.
Lee Caddell was not injured
other than a bruised leg. Workmen
and equipment, readying the road
for paving, and the traffic have
created a constant dust situation
making it impossible to see on
coming traffic. Caddell said he was
travelling atf approximately fifteen
miles an hour. He knew nothing of
the oncoming car or what hit him

and cut up.
A hospital corpsman, Leonard
Williams, HM2„ who appeared on
the scene almost immediately, ex
amined Kimbro, who was slumped
over the steering wheel. Ascertain
ing that he was still alive, he put
the mother and baby in his car
and rushed them to the station
hospital.
In the meantime, a member of
the shore patrol, Emil J. Yacko,
GMC, driving his own car, rushed
back to town and returned with
the City ambulance. He then took
Kimbro to the station hospital.
Young Kimbro was making a re
turn trip to Kodiak, after having
taken his mother to the plane. She
had been visiting here.
Japs-Russians
Deplete Alaskan
Waters Of Fish
Another phase in the economic
war being waged by Japanese and
Russian fishermen was revealed
in a junket of a Seattle fishing
boat and crew as they sought out
fishermep from the two countries
in the Bering Sea area.
Wakefield’s Fisheries’ vessel, the
Jeanette F, which was in port last
week was the boat used for the
expedition. Under the command
of Capt. Arne Serwold, the boat
came upon surprised Russian and
Japanese fleets in Alaskan waters.
A Seattle Times writer, Stanton
H. ' Patty, was aboard, tnd has
written some very revealing arti
cles about the vessel’s findings.
The evidence-gathering mission
brought home some startling facts
and conclusions, some of. which
will have an effect on Alaskan
fisheries for many years to come.
Here is some of the evidence:
1. The Japanese and Russians
are sweeping the northern seas
like a vacuum cleaner with high
ly mobile, efficient equipment.
The supply of several kinds of
food fish may be depleted beyond
repair.
2. The Japanese are catching
staggering numbers of king crab,
an important, profitable resource
American fishermen are competing
for on a smaller scale.
3. The Russians have prospected
and moved into .halibut grounds.
This thwarts effbrts of the United
States and Canada to conserve hali
but under the International Pacif
ic Halibut Commission.
4. The Jeanette F’s measurement
of Japanese king crab fishing
could provide enough “ammuni
tion” for the United States to con
vince the International North Pa
cific Fisheries Commission that
king crab must be placed quickly
under the strict international pro
tection now accorded to salmon.
5. Capt. Arne Serwold of the
Jeanette F. estimated both the
Japanese and Russians are using
nets with four-inch mesh. Ameri
can fishermen are limited to six
inch nets.
Officials of the Tenyo Maru, a
Japanese mother-ship boarded by
four crew members of the Jean
nette F., said they were taking con
siderable numbers of king crabs
—unintentionally.
“Nothing escapes the nets of
those Japanese catcher boats,” Ser
wold declared.
The Tenyo Maru can sharp
freeze up to 180 tons of seafood
a day.
An official of the Tokei Maru,
a crab mothership, told the Jean
nette F. by radio that the Tokei
was returning* to Japan with its
quota of 70,o00 cases of king crab
meat.
That is about 1,500,000 crabs.
Kodiak Beef On
Anchorage Market
Kodiak beef is now being mar
keted in Anchorage, with ship
ments going there regularly. The
first shipment was made Monday.
Plans have been completed be
tween Joe Beaty, local rancher, and
the Country Butcher Shop in An
chorage for shipments of beef to
the latter. The beef is being aged
and processed there after being
air shipped from Beatty’s ranch.
Beaty has his own slaughterhouse
and airstrip at the ranch.
The Country Butcher Shop, own
ed by Harry Suggitt, will feature
all Alaskan-produced meat from
Kodiak Island as well as from Ma
tanuska Valley and the Homer
area. The shop has been greatly en
larged with refrigeration storage
capacity increased fivefold.
