[07 Soviet Fisliinj*
Vessels Operating
In Gulf of Alaska
WASHINGTON (/P — The Rus
sian fishing fleet in the Gulf of
Alaska has increased from 61 to
107 ships since July 15, Sen. Warren
Magnuson, <D-Wn.>, reported Wed
nesday.
Magnuson, chairman of the Sen
ate Commerce Committee, said the
Soviet fleet includes a number of
modern stern ramp trawlers, dis
placing as much as 10 times the
tonnage of American trawlers.
Magnuson said eight refrigerated
transports are now operating with
thc> Russian fleet, as well as three
huge mother ships, one of which
may be the new 17.140-ton vessel
recently mentioned in Soviet dis
patches.
“Some of the products of Alas
kan waters taken by foreign ships
will doubtless be coming back to
us from overseas in cans bearing
foreign labels,” Magnuson said. He
said such cans would contain king
crab, shrimp and Alaskan fish.
“Fisheries imports from these
countries will add insult to injury,”
Magnuson charged.
Magnuson and Sen. E. L. Bart
lett are offering amendments to
the new trade bill which would
permit the President to restrict
imports from countries failing to
meet American conservation stand
ards. Magnuson said the amend
ments would also provide powers
for the President to restrict im
ports when any nation interf res
with or harasses United States flag
fishing vessels.
"We are faced by a massive
and unprecedented threat to our
fisheries rwouro s in waters which
we have traditionally considered
our own,” Magnuson said.
The senator said the amend
ments. as well as proposals toy
Bartlett and himself for modern
ization of the American fishing
fleet, would counter the threat.
“For lack of modern ships we
are losing the treasures in our own
front yards,” Magnuson concluded.
In the smart set you now say
“hello” when you are introduced,
and it supposedly marks you as
one of the common herd if you
say “Pleased to meet you.”

ALASKA IS
GROWING
WITH
GRUENING
GRDWING in power development, federal aid for highways, airport
construction, financial assistance in the transition from territorialism to statehood.
GROWING in surveys of the public domain, land law revision, correction
of long standing injustices in the application of federal grant-in-aid programs.
G ROWI N G in improved mail service, establishment in Alaska of federal
laboratories and institutions of various kinds, better financial business and farm
loan programs, and much, much more that Senator Ernest Gruening has
successfully sponsored in Congress.
GROWI NG too in the respect which our state commands on the
national scene.
Here is what fellow Senators and others with whom he works in Washington say about Senator Gruening:
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY: “I have the highest re
gard for Ernest Gruening. His keen mind and vast knowledge
of Alaskan and international affairs are greatly needed in the
United States Senate.”
VICE PRESIDENT LYNDON B. JOHNSON: “In the Senate
we value his advice highly and we are proud to have his
friendship.”
SENATOR MIKE MANSFIELD of Montana, Majority Leader,
U.S. Senate: “You have been a strong right arm in the Senate.
Your conscientious attention to duty and the needs of your
state, our country and our party have been outstanding and
the effectiveness of your efforts has been a tribute to
your career.”
SENATOR ALEXANDER WILEY of Wisconsin (Republican):
“... a great guy and great senator, Ernest Gruening.”

SENATOR JOHN O. PASTORE of Rhode Island: “Eloquent,
energetic, informed — genial to win friends — dynamic to win

ingful partner of all the States and a front line bulwark in our
country's world responsibilities.”
SENATOR VANCE HARTKE of Indiana: “1 enjoy a deep
sense of pride knowing I am serving in the Senate along
side such a distinguished and dedicated public servant as
Ernest Gruening.”
SENATOR E. L. (BOB) BARTLETT of Alaska: “Twenty years
of close association and the handclasp is still mutually firm.”
Much remains to be done to fulfill the hopes which
you and Ernest Gruening share for Alaska.
In its doing, a strong, united congressional delegation
such as we have had — one of the same political
persuasion as the administration in power and the
majority controlling the House and Senate
— is essential to success.
