FISH LAWBREAKERS
WARNED THAT CRAFT
TO BE CONFISCATED
Fishermen who have repeatedly
violated commercial fishing regula
tions in Alaskan waters will hence
forth suffer loss of their boats
and gear and have an admirality
charge placed against them in dis
trict court, it was announced today
by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Field personnel have been issued
orders by the headquarters office
to excercise the full authority of
the law and bring every boat into
custody which has a record of pre
vious offenses in past seasons.
The admiralty action has never
before been used by the service, but
because of the increased number
of fishermen in the north this
year and the depletion of salmon
runs in every area, decision was
made to "get tough."
Dan Ralston, law enforcement
supervisor, said his violation rec
ords show there are many fisher
men who habitually violate con
servation laws, such as fishing in
a closed area, at a closed time, or
too near mouths of streams.
Previously, offenders were usually
fined in commissioner's court, and
the fishermen went out again im
mediately.
But now. even if a violator caught
in the act has but one offense
against him over a long period of
years, his craft will be-seized and
action begun immediately. Aftei
the admiralty charge is filed—
known in law as “in rem"—the
boat and gear goes in charge of
the marshal, and if the court finds
the violator guilty as charged, the
vessel and equipment is placed on
auction by the marshal's office.
More and better patrol equip
ment has been added and addition
al- personnel is in the field to
attempt to provide protection nec
essary for the depleted runs, Rals
ton said.
“The service was reluctant,” he
said, “to resort^ to such drastic
measures and would prefer that
such action be avoided by strict
observance of regulations by all
concerned.
“However, field men are prepared
and will take such steps to enforce
effectively all commercial fishing
regulations."
He said a man, if found in a
closed area during a closed period—
making him a double violator—
would have his boat seized even if
he had never been arrested before.

EISENHOWER ON
Korean war Also
TAKING OF OATHS
(By Associated Press)
General Dwight D. Eisenhower j
describes the Korean war as a j
struggle between totalitarianism and j
freedom.
He told newsmen In San Fran
cisco that to win the war we may
have to cross the 38th Parallel j
which divides North and South:
Korea. As he phrased it: "A sol-'
dier goes into battle to defeat an
enemy. Whenever you have to go
to do that, you must go."
The man who commanded allied
forces in Europe during World War
Two is on the West Coast for' ti
vacation. ~
Eisenhower now is President of
Columbia University, and he was
asked*his opinion of loyalty oaths
for professors. Here is his reply:
“I mistrust an oath, because I
think we’re dealing with people who
haven’t the slightest hesitation ab
out signing anything."

MARRIAGE COST
DROPS 17 PER CENT
BEGINNING AUG. 1
Notice for prospective newlyweds
—the cost of getting married in Ju
neau will drop more than 40 percent
beginning August 1!
But this doesn’t involve the up
keep.
It strictly involves the initial cost,
which the bridegroom lays out to
U.S. Commissioner Gordon Gray for
getting a marriage license, having
it filed, recorded, copied, indexed
and all that sort of thing .Gray does
in his capacity of Uncle Sam’s
keeper of statistics involving mar
riages.
It used to cost $6 to get started'
in holy wedlock, not counting the
fee to the minister or to Gray,
whichever one actually pronounced
the magic words.
Now it’s only $3.50.
There’s still the $10 fee which
Gray charges and hands over to
Uncle Sam *to put in the treasury.
This isn’t his fee, as many people
suppose, but belongs to Uncle.
This fee has been set officially by
the U.S. court system, under which
all commissioners function. It is
one of a schedule of fees set up
following the tour of Alaska by El
more Whitehurst, assistant director
for the court system, who was here
about a month ago inspecting the
territory’s court matters.
The schedule was made because
commissioners throughout Alaska
had charged various fees for doing
the same thing, which caused havoc
in some places.’
The filing of conditional sales
contracts, which newlyweds find
themselves getting involved in
shortly after the big moment, will
cost $1j50 henceforth. It used to be
$t plus 25 cents for indexing in
Juneau, although it was different
all over Alaska.
Another big change is the filing
of mining location certification—it
remains at $1.50 here, but now
there’s no charge for indexing.
Remember—none of this takes
place until August 1.

PRICE AND WAGE
CONTROLS HINTED
TO K . PROFITS
WASHINGTON, pcy — UP) —
The possibility of price-wage con
trols was discussed in administra
tion circles in Congress today. Law
makers demanded action to take the
profits out of the Korean war.
Most of these demands came in
the form of proposals for early en
actment of an excess profits tax
[ aimed at profiteering.
But one administration official
■who declined to be quoted.by name
told a reporter that unless there is
a recession in rapidly Increasing
prices, controls of that nature may
not be far away.
President Truman left the road
open in his Wednesday message to
Congress to call later for such curbs
on the economy but they were omit
ted from the administration’s de
fense production bill.
Administration lieutenants said
they have the votes lined up to get
that measure approved by the Sen
ate Banking Committee late next
week, although they conceded they
may have to make changes in some
of its provisions.
SAVED FROM BURIAL,
DIGGER KEEPS RIGHT
ON DIGGING SEWER
SEATTLE, July 21—(jT)—“I dug it,
I cribbed it, and I got buried in it.
I .sdppose you might say I brought
it on myself.”
Such was the way 21-year-old
Leonard Moshier dismissed his 52
minute burial beneath 13 feet of
sand yesterday.
The brawny young sewer digger
was trapped at the foot of a shaft
as he bent over his shovel. He man
aged to shout muffled directions
to his rescuers.
When workers and firemen finally
extricated him after nearly an hour,
Moshier waved off ambulance at
tendants, grabbed a shovel and went
back to work clearing out the shaft.

U. N. MEMBERSHIP
DISCUSSED TODAY
BY SECY. ACHESON
WASHINGTON, July 21 — (/PI — [
Secretary of State Acheson said to
day the United States thinks it
would be unwise for the United
Nations to take up the question
of U.N. membership for the Chinese
Communists while the Korean
fighting is going on.
Russia has insisted to the British
and Indian governments that the
way to approach a settlement of
the Korean crisis is for the Chinese
Reds to become members of the U.N.
Security Council. Such a move
would assure Russia’s return to the
Council, the Soviets have said.
The United States has taken the
position that the first requirement
for a Korean settlement is the with
drawal of the North Korean Com
munist invaders from South Korea.
At a news conference Acheson
said that he does not know of any
new developments which offer any
hope of peace in Korea.
Questioned as to whether he sees
any opportunities for a peaceful
settlement in the near future, the
secretary said one can never know
what action the North Koreans
might take.
