Individual Incomes Set
Record High in March
WASHINGTON UB — Individual
incomes set a record in March,
largely because of improved em
ployment in the automobile and
clothing industries.
The Commerce Department said
today that personal income in
March was running at an annual
rate of $435.3 billion, after making
allowances for normal seasonal
fluctuations. This was $2 billior
higher than February and $28 bil
lion above March 1961.
The largest payroll advance was
in manufacturing, reflecting in
creased production of autos anc
wearing apparel. Most of the im
provement mirrored rising employ
ment, plus some increase in the
average work week.
PLAN TO CUT ALASKA
NATIONAL GUARD UNITS
Two of Alaska’s 20 Army Na
tional Guard units would be eli
minated under a plan revealed re
cently by the Department of De
fense to cut personnel strength by
58,000 nationally. The two in Alas
ka are among 880 existing company
size units which would be elimin
ated. Alaska shares with Nevada
the distinction of facing the small
est unit reduction.
The plan would entail closing
down 30 units in New York, 29 in
California and more than two in
all the other states.
What units would be affected in
Alaska has not yet been deter
mined.

EGAN CHARGES
Japanese Fleet
Was Testing U.S.
Aggressiveness
JUNEAU M — Gov. Wm. Egan
charged Tuesday that a Japanese
fishing fleet was sent into Shelikov
Strait for the sole purpose of de
termining what the state and fed
eral government would do.
The state, without notifying fed
eral officials, moved against the
Japanese fleet over the weekend,
boarding three of the six vessels
in the herring fishing fleet and tak
ing actual control of two of the
ships.
The skipper of one of the vessels
was charged with violating the
three-mile territorial limit. The
skipper of the second was charged
with violating Alaska’s inland
waters. The third skipper was
charged with fishing commercially
without a state license.
Alaska claims Shelikof Strait, a
stormy body of water separating
Kodiak Island and the Alaska
Peninsula, as inland waters.
Commenting on an article which
appeared in the April 5 issue of
the Japanese newspaper Suisan
Keizai Shimbun, Egan said:
“The United States State De
partment has not yet issued an
authoritative statement upholding
the State’s position in Shelikof
Strait. It is inconceivable to me in
view of past U.S. action in regu
lating the fisheries in these waters
and the present critical condition
of these fisheries that such affirma
tion was not forthcoming immedi
ately.
“It is unfortunate that a private
Japanese enterprise would jeopard
ize a friendship and economic co
operation that exists between the
people of Alaska and the people
of Japan.
“It is clear from Japanese news
paper accounts that the Japanese
company’s fishing fleet entered
Shelikof Strait for the sole purpose
of determining whether or not the
United States and Alaska were pre
pared to act aggressively in pro
tecting their established rights
“The state has made it abund
antly clear that it intends to do
