Jap Fishermen
Don’t Always Find
Smooth Sailing
By Kay Tateishi
TOKYO <#) — Japanese vessels
fish in the four corners of the
globe — not always with smooth
sailing.
Sometimes Japanese fishermen
are accused of poaching, violating
territorial waters, ignoring conser
vation measures and ruthlessly
damaging fish resources. The Jap
anese deny the charges.
Japanese fishing boats are seized
frequently by the Soviet Union
off northern Japan and by South
Korea near the unilateral 60-mile
Korean Demarcation Line in the
Japan Sea.
They’ve been chased away
from Indonesia, Australia, Latin
America countries, Communist
China, Spanish and Portuguese
West Africa.
The latest major incident was
the April 15 seizure by the Alas
kan state government of three
Japanese fishing vessels in the
Shelikof Strait between Kodiak
Island and the Alaska mainland.
Alaska accuses the Japanese of en
croaching on its waters. Japan con
tends the waters are international.
But the Japanese fishing industry
keeps moving ahead with drive
and energy.
Despite the devastation of its
fishing fleet in World War II and
postwar limitation of its fishing
grounds, Japan has become the
world’s biggest fishing nation.
It is constantly training person
nel, conducting scientific marine
biological research, installing mod
ern equipment and improving catch
methods. It is also sending techni
cians abroad to assist backward
fj chiwg nations.
Japan’s fishing fleet!, 36 per cent
of the world’s fishing boats today,
ranges over the Pacific, Atlantic
and Indian Oceans.
More than 1.5 million Japanese
are engaged in the industry har
vesting tuna, salmon, whale, king
crab, sardines, yeliowtail, squid,
bonito and other fish thousands of
miles from the home islands.
Total catch for I960, the latest
figure available, is a record high
of 6.2 million tons valued at $920
million.
About half die catch was con
sumed by the Japanese, the world’s
largest consumers of fish.
The balance is sold to foreign
canneries; One American, here to
buy for a Puerto Rico tuna cannery,
said Japanese fishermen deliver
more fish at lower cost.
Jim Carey, who heads the float
ing equipment department of the
Lomen Comemrcial Co., arrived
today and is already in working
clothes and on the job. He reports i
Bill Brown, harbor engineer, ex
pects to return next week. ~

FOR GOP GOVERNORSHIP

needs for full scale participation
by all citizens in the affairs of our
state government.

ministration of state affairs, I hope
to enlist the talent and support,
not only of the rank and file Re
publicans, but of all sound, for
ward-looking and indepen dent
thinking people, whether they are
engaged in industry, finance or
trade, and whether they are owners,
managers or employes.
“I shall particularly welcome the
participation of the devoted federal
and state employes whose best ef
forts were so scornfully rejected
by Mr. (Gov. Wm. A.) Egan.
“In this endeavor, my aim will
be to acquaint the voters with the
problems we face and to offer
some practical solutions, to restore
common sense in the management
of state affairs, to encourge budget
ary responsibility, to make busi
nesses we now have so profitable
as to encourage investments, and
to seek full employment for our
present labor force before re
cruiting ‘outsiders’.”
Coghill, Republican minority
leader in the State Senate, served
on the Rules Committee and the
Finance Committee. During the
first state legislature, he was chair
man of the Legislative Audit Com
mittee.

Pine Job Printing At The Nugget
COFFEE
The problem for many has been that the cup does run over.
The housewife who makes coffee in mid-afternoon and the indi
vidual who does the something at midnight usually end up with
more than the desired one cup will hold. Consequently, they
pour more down the drain than they drink.
A new development by a West Coast firm can end all that.
The “Unicup", a one-cup coffee maker, should prove the solution.
Introduced by NorcldPiastic Products of Burlingame, Calif.,
the “Unicup" comes in two sections. The bottom section is filled
with * tablespoep of drip grind coffee. With the second section
placed en top of Jhe unit the “Unicup” is then set on a cup.
Polling water poured into the top section drips through, with
the newly made coffee, in about a minute.

MAGAZINE PUBLISHERS
PROTEST POSTAL INCREASE
WASHINGTON M — Additional
magazine publishers protested*
strongly to the Senate Post Office
Committee yesterday against in
creases affecting them in President
Remedy’s postal rate bill.
Gibson McCabe, President and
publisher of Newsweek magazine,
and Eugene Duffield, president of
Popular Science Publishing Co.,
said they would be hurt seriously.
McCabe said there should be
greater recognition of the public
service aspects of the Post Office
Department as a reason why the
agency cannot be expected to
operate at a profit.
The Newsweek magazine head *
also' urged the committee to give
consideration to the proplem of the
new states, Alaska and Hawaii,
which he said now do not have the
benefit of second class rates.
Newsweek must fly its magazines
there at a direct out-of-pocket
cost of II cents per copy to Hawaii
and 8 cents to Alaska, he testified.

BARGES START LOADING
FOR DEW LINE STATIONS
| SEATTLE {IP) — Barges have
arrived this week to start loading
cargo for America’s Distant Early
Warning Line radar stations and
other defense installations of the
far north.
The re-supply mission that once
called dozens of Navy ships into
Puget Sound to make up the DEW
Line fleet now is served principally
by privately operated barges. This
year the entire Alaska Command
resupply is being handled by Alas
ka Barge & Transport lnc.
The line’s 299-foot barge 539,
once the largest of its type in the
world, is one of three barges taking
on more than 10,000 tons of sup
plies and construction materials at
Pier 37 and the Port of Seattle’s
Plant B Terminal.
Lighterage and cargo-handling
gear have gone aboard two other
barges at Vancouver, Wn., and
tankers are transporting petroleum
to Dutch Harbor for re-distribution
to military stations.
The re-supply area is divided
into four sectors — Arctic-Alaska,
Bering-Aleutian, Shemya and Kus
kokwim. Alaska barge plans to
deliver 70,000 tons of cargo to sta
tions in these sectors from Annette
Island in Southeast Alaska to re
mote installations on shores of the
Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean.
