REPORT JAPS FISHING
IN GULF OF ALASKA
JUNEAU — The Bureau of
Commercial Fisheries said today a
Japanese vessel, apparently en
gaged in exploratory fishing, has
been spotted on the rich Fair
weather Banks in the Gulf of
Alaska.
Harry L. Rietze, Regional Di
rector of the BCF, said the Japan
ese ship was believed to be the
130-foot Izumo Maru, an East Coast
stern-type trawler owned by the
Nippon Suisan Co., one of Japan’s
largest fishing firms.
The Izumo Maru was first spot
ted June 12 by an American fish
ing boat some 45 miles southwest
of Cape Fairweather. Since that
time, the Coast Guard and the
BCF patrol vessel John R. Man
ning have been unable to locate
the Jap ship.
Rietze said the Izumo Maru
carries a crew of 23 and is believed
to have a representative of the
Japanese Fisheries Agency aboard.
“We believe the boat was prob
ably sent out to explore for herring
and is probably rigged for experi
mental fishing for king crab and
bottom fish as well,” Rietze said.
Forgotten heroes: Joseph La
lande is the French astronomer
who demonstrated conclusively
that manned flight was a scientific
impossibility. Then along came the
! Wright Brothers.

For Your Water Just Call
U.S. LAUNCHES NEW
HURRICANE - HUNTING
TIROS V SATELLITE
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. W —
Hurricane-hunting Tiros V rocket
ed into orbit yesterday to seek the
cause of the killer storms and per
haps help devise means of taming
them.
A three-stage Thor-Delta rocket
carried the fifth in the series of
Weather-Eye satellites.
A pair of television cameras in
the Tiros V made pictures as the
satellite completed its first orbit
and relayed them instantly to a
tracking station at Wallops Island,
Va.
Weather experts hope the pic
tures will provide valuable infor
mation on the origin, development
and movement of tropical storms
born in the 1962 season, which
opened last week.
The robot weatherman achieved
orbit despite a malfunction in the
Thor-Delta guidance system.
Project official Robert Gray re
ported that 20 seconds after
launching a short circuit develop
ed in ground equipment designed
to beam radio commands to the
guidance package.
“After that, the rocket had to
rely on its automatic pilot to fly
its proper course,” Gray said.
SENATE AND HOUSE WILL
ACT ON APPROPRIATIONS
WASHINGTON UP) — A sham
battle over prestige which has kept
House and Senate members from
acting on money bills will be set
tled by next week, Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey predicted today.
The dispute between the two Ap
propriation Committees has left
Secret Service agents temporarily
payless and has cramped other
agencies for funds as the fiscal
year nears its June 30 end.
Humphrey, the acting Senate
'Democratic leader, told a asms
conference he is confident a com
promise will be worked out.
“How foolish — how unfortunate
— this all is,” Humphrey said.
Humphrey declined to disclose
any details of the agreement he
predicted except to note that mem
bers of the Senate and House Ap
propriations Committees had
agreed that they would meet to
compromise differing Senate and
House versions of bills.
House members have demanded
that the chairmanship of confer
ence committees be rotated be
tween House and Senate members.
In return, senators demanded that
they be allowed to originate half
of all appropriation bills, which by
tradition have always been started
in die House;

MARSHALLS DEATH STILL
STANDS AS SUICIDE
IN SOL ESTES CASE
FRANKLIN, Tex. UP> — A sui
cide verdict still stands in the
mystery shooting of Agriculture
Department official Henry Mar
shall last year.
After a month-long probe in the
re-opened case, the Robertson
County grand jury decided Mon
day night that evidence was “in
conclusive to substantiate a dif
ferent decision at this.time.”
The jury began the investiga
tion after west Texas promoter
Billie Sol Estes was indicted on
fraud and theft charges. Marshall,
52, had been checking into cotton
allotment dealings of Estes.
Dist. Judge John Barron, who
joined Dist. Atty. Bryan Russ
in convening the jurors, dismissed
the group with praise for its work,
remarking that the case “has re
solved itself into a police action.”
Marshall was found dead June
3, 1961, at a lonely spot on his
ranch near here. He had been
shot five times with a bolt action
,22 caliber rifle which lay nearby.
The inquest verdict by the justice
of the peace was suicide.
