Alaska Fisheries
Department May
Set Fish Traps
That he would recommend that
the Territorial Fisheries Board set
up fish traps next season was
stated by W. O. “Bo" Smith, Ket
chikan troller and newest member
of the Fisheries Board. Smith an
nounced Saturday in Ketchikan that
he would recommend that the
Board set traps near enough to
privately-owned traps so that the
ownership of the location could be
contested and strongly intimated ,
that this was one method of elimin- ,
ating traps as a type of gear. j1
Smith presented his plan at the j
annual hearing on proposed regu
lations which was held by the Fish
and Wildlife Service in Ketchikan J
on Saturday. C. Howard Baltzo, (
FWS assistant .regional director
when he reported on the meeting to
day in Juneau said that Smith
had requested that the federal j
agency further clarify its policy in
cases where two traps were operat- s
ing in the same immediate area, j
The regulation governing fish traps s
in most places in Soutlffcast Al
aska requires that traps be one t
mile apart. j i
Baltzo stated that there is only j
one case on record where trap
owners violated this ruling. In the
only case considered, the FWS re- ^
quired that both traps be closed ,
and then the U. 3. District Court
decided on the ownership of the j
location. | j
Funds For Operating 1
When Smith made his statement, «
which he termed as “a warning to <
the Alaska Canned Salmon Indus- t
try,” Service officials reminded him 5
that the Territorial traps placed
in position to contest privately own- j«
ed traps would have to be capable 1
of catching fish and could not be '
“dummy” traps. .... 1
Smith said that funds for operat- ],
ing the traps could be obtained by -
selling the fish caught and that the 1
excess funds obtained could be
placed in the Territorial Treasury. '
Unanimous Approval Necessary j
C. L. Anderson, chairman of the i
Territorial Fisheries Board, stated
today that the recommendation, if :
it is submitted by Sjnith at the j;
Board meeting in November, would
require unanimous approval. An-:
derson made no statement when
questioned about the legality of the
plan or the use of Territorial ap
propriations for the setting of traps
and said that fire Attorney General
would have to decide the issue if the
required approval was obtained.
Smith was appointed as a Board |
member in August to replace Wil
liam Walton of Sitka who resigned.
The meeting in November will be
his first appearance as a board
member.
75 Attend Hearing
Clarence Rhode, FWS regional
director, presided at the Ketchikan
hearing which was attended by .
75 fishermen and cannery repre
sentatives.
Baltzo stated that there were few
recommendations made on the pro
posed regulations and that everyone

After Typhoon Hurls
Jap Ship on Rocks
TOKYO, Oct. 15—Wl—A typhoon
drove a troopship on a reef off the
southwest coast of Japan but near
ly 400 United Nations soldiers on
board and some of her crew were
rescued by a U. S. attack transport.
The Kongo Maru, 450-foot U. S.
leased Japanese ship, was hurled on
the reef in the Korea Straits Sat
urday by adverse winds of a typh
oon that struck southern Japan a
damaging blow Sunday.
In Korea Strait
A Navy announcement said the
skipper and 42 crewmen, all Jap
anese, would stay' aboard the ves
sel unless forced to abandon ship.
There was no immediate indication
that the Kongo Maru would break
up soon. The vessel was reported
firmly wedged on the reef. She was
reported taking water in every hold,
however, and listing 20 degrees.
Navy sources said the Kongo
Maru carried nearly 400 passengers
and a crew of about 115.

seemed to be in essential agree
ment on the proposals.
Walter McCall, secretary for the
purse seiners, requested that sein
ers be allowed a longer season by
lengthening the closed weekend per
iods allowing only three fishing
days a week. McCall's proposal was
that traps would operate in the
August season but that seiners
would start fishing in July.
Representatives of the gill net
fishermen recommended that Bur
rough’s Bay be re-opened as a gill
net area.

Here's why Fordomatic v:

For the past year, automotive writers, engineers and owners have Been
raving about a new kind of automatic driving .. •

.Spmtouhmatia haute
The automatic drive some cars offer you is a
torque converter which multiplies torque with
out the use of gears. Its advantage is a smooth
flow of power. Its disadvantage is a smaller
range of torque multiplication which requires
more power from the engine and an uneco

automatic gean (at llluitrated in simplified

Is that this system it not as smooth, nor at
