Fish & Game Head
To Attend Meeting
•
C.L. Anderson, Director of the
Alaska Department of Fish apd
Carrie, will be one of the four
Alaskans to represent the Terri
tory in November when the Inter
national North Pacific Fisheries
Commission holds its annual meet
ing in Tokyo, Japrn. Three of the
men, including Anderson, are
members of the 15-man advisory
committee to the United States
Section of the three-nation treaty
organization, which also includes
Japan and Canada.
The other two representatives
of the advisory committee from
Alaska arc Robert C. Kallenberg,
Dillingham, and John W. Smith of
Metlakafla. John H. Clausen of
Anchorage will attend as a mem
ber of the Commission.
Anderson ird Smith will leave
Seattle on Northwest Airlines
October 28th for‘Tokyo. Anderson
plans to attend preliminary meet
ings of several committees .before
the plenary session of the Com
mission itself, which will be held
from November 4th through
November 10th.
The effect of Japanese high- seas
gill net fishing for salmop on the
stocks originating in hjor.tk Ameri
can streams will hfghlfght the
agenda. Other agenda items con
cern the halibut, herririg and king
crab ( fisheries of Alaska and the
Northwest.
Japan has agreed to abstain
from fishing halibut, herring and
salmon of North American origin
for five years. The five-^ear period
will be up. at the meeting. The
decision that has to be made by
the Commission is whether these
three species shall continue to
qualify for further abstention.
Abstention has been based on the
principle that these three species
are fully utilized by North Ameri
can fishermen. Japan will want
proof that they are already being
harvested on a maximum sustain
ed yield basis.
Another point to come up for
discussion will be the moving of
the provisional salmon line west
ward. This line now runs north
and south along the 175th meri
dian west longitude. Research,
during the past few years, has
demonstrated that salmon of North
American origin are feeding west
of this line and are being fished
by the Japanese.
The American Section of the
Commission will undoubtedly re
quest that this line be moved
further west to protect salmon of
Norh American stock, especially
red salmon that are spawned in
streams that discharge their
waters into Bristol Bay.

Organizing Schools
Under Statehood
Discussed by AEA
Passage of resolutions pertain
ing to organization of schools
under statehood highlighted the
third annual Delegate Assembly
of the Alaska Education Associa
tion which was held in Juneau
recently.
The more than 50 representa
tives from all over Alaska endors
ed propositions calling for the
creation of a state board of educa
tion by the first state legislature,
the appointment of a professional
school administrator as the chief
of education, and overlapping
terms for state school board mem
bers who would be limited to two
consecutive terms.
The educators further recom
mended that the state department
of education be a separate prin
cipal department of the new state
government. They also called for
a thorough study of the relation
ship between borough, cities and
the school system before any
legislation is passed concerning
these units.
The AEA delegates decided to
work for additional steps in the
present salary scale. They voted
to support a change in the juvenile
code which would give profes
sional juvenile wqrkers greater
powers of law enforcement in
dealing with parents of delinquent
children and urged further study
for special education of excep
tional children. .
The Alaska educators passed
resolutions favoring the establish
ment of an advisory committee to
make a detailed study of present
school laws and make recom
mendations for revisions. The
group further decided that no
revisions be made until the study
is completed.
District 21, which includes
Kodiak Island and Adak, was re
presented by delegates Lois Burn
ham, second grade teacher Down
town School,, who served on the
Constitution Committee and Betty
Springhill, Principal, Downtown
School, who served as chairman of
the Nominating Committee.

Dec. 1 Date for
Unified Command
Of Alaska Forces
Tod echelon command channels
for United States military forces
in Alaska will change beginning
December 1.
On that date, Alaskan Command
is scheduled to become a unified
command under the di-ect control
of the Joint Chiefs cf Staff, Sec
retary of Defense and the Presi
dent. Air Force Lt. Gen. Frank
A. Armstrong, Jr., is Commander
in Chief, Alaska.
Gen. Armstrong’s Alaskan Com
mand is one of eight unified and
specified commands established by
the Department of Defense Re
organization Act of 1958, which
was signed into law by the Presi
dent on August 6, 1958.
Strategic Air Command, Con
tinental Air Defense Command,
Alaska, Europe, Caribbean, Atlan
tic, Pacific, and the Eastern
Atlantic and Mediterranean Com
mands make up the list.
The new law setting up the
unified commands is the result of
President Eisenhower’s conviction
that “separate ground, sea, and
air warfare is gone forever.”
Under the law’s provision only
the Secretary of Defense or the
President will be able to transfer
a military unit from its assignment
within one of the unified com
mands.
General Armstrong believes that
assignment of forces to a unified
command gets the maximum from
the forces available. The new
organizational policies will do
away with possible expensive
duplcation of effort by any of the
services, and in the long run, the
new commands should be able to
do more work with fewer people,
it is believed.
