BRISTOL BAY
FISHERMEN TO
60 INDEPENDENT
Reported to Hava Broken^
Away from Faction
lorn AF Union
SEATTLE. Dec. 26—M*—The Tim
es said today that fishermen in
Alaska's Bristol Bay area have vot
ed to return to independent status.
The Bristol Bay fishermen have
been affiliated with the faction
torn Alaska Fishermen's Union.
The Seattle newspaper said the
Bristol Bay men had rejected a
request from International Long
shoremen’s and Warehousemen's j
Union to try out an AFU-ILWU I
merger for at least a year.
WheLher AFU should merge with
the Harry Bridges-led longshore- '
men has been an issue of hot dis- 1
pute within the union.
The dispute has even reached the
courts.
The Times said: "The move by
the Bristol Bay fishermen to go
independent is important in itself,
but the effect the action may
have on other Alaska unions and
the fight within the AFU perha*ps
is of even greater concern to union
leaders.’’
William Gettings, longshore union
leader here, said he had not heard
of any Bristol Bay vote and that
the union members there could
not act independent of the AFU
anyhow. He said the AFU was the
legal bargaining agent for the Bris
tol fishermen.

GRAND JURY NOT
BE CALLED AS NO
CASES TO PRESENT
Unprecedented in the history of
the United States court session.'
held in Juneau as far as can be
learned, the grand jury for the regu
lar January, 1951, term of court has
been continued and will not convene
on January 1, as was scheduled, it
was announced today in the office
of the Clerk of the Court.
Reason that the grand jury will
not be called in session is the fact
that all criminal cases on the calen
dar will have been disposed of by
the afternoon when the last bind
over case is set to appear before the
court. U.S. District Attorney P. J
Gilmer:.', Jr., advised the court this
morning that his office has no case'
to present to a grand jury at this
time.
Grand jurors are notified not tc
report in court in Juneau at 2 p.m
January 3, according to Clerk oi
the Court J, W. Leavers. The grand
Jury has not been cancelled, it was
pointed out, but will be continued
subject to call in the event cases
arise for its consideration during
the January session of the court.
District Attorney Gilmore says
that disposition of criminal cases
throughout the year, which has left
a clear calendar at this time, is
due principally to the Federal Rules
of Criminal Procedures which pro
vide for those accused of felony to
waive, prosecution by indictment, or
g'and jury proceedings, and alloys
.or prosecution by information f red
by the United States Attorney.
The result of this is .hat through- j
out the year numf .-ous felony or
bind-over cases wh'ch ordinarily in
the past would have had to be pre
sented to the grand jury are now
disposed of without presentment to
that body. This action, the district
attorney said, results in a great
savings to the government and ben
efits to those accused, inasmuch as
it permits a defendant to have
his case disposed of without waiting
for the convening of a grand jury.
The Federal Rules, in effect since
approved by the Supreme Court of
the United States and applied in
all states and territories have re
sulted in this district in previous
years in a material reduction of the
time required for a grand jury to
be in session. The 1951 term of the
U.S. District Court is the first year
when no criminal cases remain on
the calendar to be presented ly'ore
a grand jury.
The petit jury for the January
term of court will meet as sched
uled at 10 a.m., January 8.

I Kathleen Norris, the novelist,
said: “From birth to 18 a girl
needs good parents. From 18 to
35 she needs good looks. From
35 to 55 she needs personality.
From 55 on she needs cash.”
That is why many women,
both single and married, own
life insurance. It gives them an
increased feeling of financial
security, now and for the years
1 to come.
Last year about 70,000 wo
men bought policies in the New
