SEATT1 .K T - A crab isn't
a fis! . Super.nr Court Judge Mai -
oolm Douglas ruled last week He
d.-missed an illegal fish-selling
(' • rcco against Orlin Lawson, who
s; Ms crabs at Milton, in Pierce
County.
Common usage distinguishes be
tween fish and shellfish, the judg •
said He added:
"Just because a man goes fish
ing for crab doesn't mean a crab
is a fish if one goes fishing fir it."
It was the first time the crab
question had sidled into Superior
Court In two Justice Court cases.
Justice Evans Manolides had ruled
that a erab wasn't a fish, and Jus
tice Hill Lewis said that it was.
Judge Douglas suggested that if
the legislature wants crabs sold
by the p uind like fish, it should
include “shellfish” in its regula
tions.
One big reason why only 20 per

ROCKYILI.K. Md. (iTi — The
Soviet Union's sii'ur traveling
salesman, Anastas Mikoyan, went
shopping Fral.i.v to cheek on his
eompetitinr.'s latest tricks.
Fur an h.e.nv he prowled a huge,
glith-rinn new supermarket in this
\V -hmgton suhurb. He pinclvvl
package's, eyed slabs of meat, shook
amis with clerks and shoppers
and patted children's heads.
Hut he bought nothing.
The Russian expert on interna
tional trade bustled about his mis
sion — to look over the latest capi
talist techniques in preparing and
dispensing food and the hundreds
of other items in the American
housewives’ market place.
Little escaped Mikoyan’s atten
tion. He moved from an automatic
car wash outside to the vast meat
counter, looking, questioning and
getting his answers through his
interpreter and guide — Madame
Anatoly Dobrynin, wife of the
Soviet Ambassador.
An automatic dollar-bill changer
caught his eye, and he stood with
hands jammed in his pockets while
a lady shopper provided a dollar
to demonstrate how the machine
worked.
Mikoyan lingered longest in the
meat cutting and packaging pro
duction line, even poking his head
into the freezer compartment.
