Unprocessed Fish
Sale To Japanese
Opposed By Egan
Gov. William A. Egan said today
administration support for pro
posals involving sale of Alaska
caught salmon to Japanese vessels
is limited solely to the sale of proc
essed fish.
“I am completely opposed to
selling unprocessed salmon to the
Japanese and have made my views
clear on the matter.” he declared.
He said the administration had
in no way sanctioned any scheme
by which Alaska processors would
be by-passed in the purchase ot
salmon by the Japanese.
“When my office was contacted
regarding the sale of chum salmon
to Japanese vessels at Ketchikan,”
the Governor said, “it was with
the clear understanding that the
salmon were to be fully processed
in Ketchikan prior to leading
aboard Japanese vessels. I con
sulted Attorney General George
Hayes on the legality of the pr,*
posed venture and he assured me,
after analysis of the North Pacific
Fisheries Treaty, that the plan was
legal.
“In addition, it is my conviction
that Japanese purchase of proc
essed chum salmon from an Alaska
plant will not only be beneficial to
Alaska fishermen and employes en
gaged in processing, but might
very well pave the way toward a
better understanding on the part
of the Japanese as to the overall
North Pacific salmon fisheries
problem.
“When Attorney General Hayes
noted ‘It will be good for Alaska’
he restricted his remarks to this
proposed venture. The purchase of
already processed Alaska fisheries
products by the Japanese or any
one else is good for Alaska.
“Sale of unprocessed salmon to
the Japanese would not only be
highly undesirable from the Alaska
viewpoint; it is the position of the
State of Alaska that such sales
would constitute violations of the
North Pacific Fisheries Treaty and
this question is being reviewed by
the U.S. State Department at the
present time.”
When the press is free and every
man able to read—all is safe.”—
Thomas Jefferson.
Letter to the Editor
It was a pleasure to tell Benny
Benson that HB 203, an act award
ing him $2,500 had passed both
houses.
I feel this award does two things
—it removes the shadow of what
I call a moral obligation on the
part of the State to pay an inad
vertant debt, and more important
ly, I feel this is the people of
Alaska paying a small tribute to a
fellow Alaskan.
We thank him for giving to us
our most beautiful flag.
Sincerely,
Gil Jarvela

Woody Isle Ferry
Now For FAA Only
The privilege of using the Fedair
IV, the government operated ferry
boat to Woody Island, has been re
stricted to employes of the FAA
and their families and invited
guests according to an announce
ment released this week.
The announcement reads as fol
lows:
"For several years, in order to
provide a little extra service to the
general public, the Federal Avi
ation Agency has permitted pas
sengers on the "FEDAIR IV” to
and from Woody Island. We regret
the necessity of making this de
cision but traffic has increased to
the point where safety regulations
do not permit carrying all who wish
to ride, and we do not want to show
any favoritism in selecting who o
permit on board and who to leave
ashore. Therefore, effective April
14, 1963, passenger service will be
restricted to FAA employes and
their families and regular resi
dents of Woody Island. Guest pas
senger privileges will be extended
only by invitation from FAA em
ployes or prior arrangement with
the Station Manager.
It is hoped this new policy will
also help prevent and discourage
vandalism by irresponsible and un
chaperoned groups such as the
ones who did extensive damage to
the Baptist Mission summer camp
buildings at West Woody on April
6th.”
