Southeastern Fish
Buyers Tying Up
JUNEAU (AP)—A union of
ficial said today some fish-buy
ing scows are tying up in South
eastern Alaska because they can
not meet the trollers’ union price
and sell under Office of Price
Stabilization regulations.
Andy Barlow, Executive Sec
retary of United Trollers of Alas
ka. said although the season is
open the buyers are out of busi
ness.
“This means many trollers
must cease because they have no
ice to bring the fish to port and
must sell on the fishing grounds
or not at all,” Barlow said.
He said the buyers and unions
reached an early agreement on
prices due to the uncertainty of
the OPS about ceilings. The OPS
later decided there would be no
ceiling, Barlow added.
“Then like a thunderbolt the
OPS changes its mind and rolls
back canned salmon from $29
to $24 a case, leaving buyers up
set," he said. “Ground prices
were down to 20 cents.”
Barlow said the earlier union
price was 27 cents dockside and
24 cents on the grounds.
The problem was complicated
by a heavy run of Cohoe which
forced ground buyers to turn
over the fish to dock buyers,
the union official declared.
“Small dock buyers were able
to maintain a high price Decause
they had no ground operation
and could buy in small quanti
ties," Barlow said. “This threw
big buyers, who were forced to
lower their prices into an up1
roar and they are pulling in
their scows.”
Barlow said the OPS will con
sider the problem at a meeting'
in Seattle this month but “re
gardless of the outcome, nothing
can undo the damage done to
troll fishery this year."

Hurricane Hits
Tampico, Mexico
TAMPICO, MEX. (AP) — A
dangerous hurricane hit Tampi
co with full fury this morning.
Houses were wrecked. Fifteen
persons were reported injured
by flying roofs.
Electric power was cut off to
prevent fallen wires from kill
ing people in the streets.
Firemen rescued 25 families
from the wreckage of their
homes. The only casualties re
ported up to 10:30 a. m. were
the 15 hurt by flying roofs.
The terrific storm hit about
8:30 a. m. CST in the midst of
a deluge of rain. The weather
bureau estimated the wind’s
force at 78 miles an hour. The
greatest force of 130 miles an
hour at the hurricane’s center
passed only about 60 miles east
of Tampico.
Atomic-Powered Sub
To Be Built
WASHINGTON (AP) _ The
Navy has let a contract for the
first atomic-powered submarine
—a craft described by a Con
gressional authority as having
'‘immense military implications.”
Announcing yesterday the
award of a contract to the Elec
tric Boat Company at Groton,
Conn., the Navy gave no details.
Nor would officials elaborate on
the 26-word announcement.
But semi-official sources have
said an atomic-powered submar
ine would have a vast under
water range, and speculation as
to its possible speed has ranged
as high as 50 to 60 miles an hour
—more than twice that of con
ventional undersea craft.
