For the First lime, starting July
1, skit-water sports fishermen in
Alaska will have to have a license.
They will have to buy a license.,
too. if they fish for salmon or other
salt-water fish that are moving in
to freshwater streams.
And trout fishermen will be re
quired to have two licenses-the '
Federal license that has previously
been required and the new Territor
ial license. The former is issue.i by
the Fish and Wildlife Service, the
latter by the Territorial Tax Com
missioner or his deputies. The Tax
Commissioner may deputize Wild
life agents to issue the license.
Exempt from the new Territorial
license are persons under 16 years
of age and resident Indians, Esk
imos'and Aleuts.
The Sports Fishing license costs
$1 for residents and $3 for non
residents and aliens, plus a two-bit
fee if it is issued by anyone except j
an employee of the Fish and Wild- i
life Service or the Territory.
The two-bits will pay the pers' n
who writes out the license for his
trouble, it says in the Act. (Wild
life agents and Territorial employ;
ecs are presumably not put to any
additional trouble by this job >
The rest of the revenues will go
to the Territorial Treasury. It was.
the intention of the authors of the
Act that the funds so raised will
be used for stocking lakes and
streams in the Territory with trout ]
and other sporting fish.
This program has already been
started by the Territorial Depart
ment of Fisheries as well as by
privately financed sportsmen's or
ganizations.
Trout Fishermen cannot avoid
buying the Territorial sports fish
ing license without becoming liable
for a fine up to $100 or imprison
ment up to six months, or both.
But salt-water anglers can get
'Our Proudest Moment'

Arnold Lnfinecrlrig Development Center at Tullahoma, Tenn. Mrs. Arnold, shown with her three sons,

around it by taking a cammccial
fishing license instead.
The commercial license costs five
bucks for resident Alaskans, it is
true, but it provides some privileg
es and benefits that the sports
license does not.
Here are some of the benefits
you get with the commercial li
cense:
1. You may fish with any legal
gear in any area open to commer
cial fishing.
2. You may sell any marketable
fish you are lucky enough to haul
aboard.
3. You get an exemption from the
Federal mot the Territorial) tax
on gasoline used in your motor.
4. You are entitled to a certain
amount of medical and hospital
care should you be injured oi incur
an illness while fishing. getting
ready to fish, or putting away your
gear after fishing.
The Latter Benetii results from
another Act of the 20th Legislature.
This is Chapter 100 of the Session
Laws of 1951: “To provide for the
care of sick and disabled fisher
men," etc.
Fishermen have long sought this
particular form of socialized med
icine and the bill rolled through
the Legislature without protest
from the American Medical Assoc
iation, the Territorial Medical As
sociation or any member of either.
As a matter of fact, one of the
members of ;he board set up to
more more .
administer the program, the Ter
ritorial Commissioner of Health, is
a member of the AMA.
Thirty percent of revenues from
the sale of commercial fishing
licenses goes into a special fund
to care for sick or injured fisher •
men.
A Fisherman, as defined in the
Act, is “any person who is licens
ed by the Territory to engage in
commercial fishing and who at the
time . injury is sustained or illness
contracted is actually so engaged, or
occupied in Alaska in preparing or
dismantling boats or gear used in
such fishing.”
It thus appears that if you have
a commercial license you are cov
ered not only if you run a red
snapper spine into your hand and
get fish poisoning, gaff yourself in
stead of the salmon or come down
with pneumonia while fishing. You
are also covered if you mash your 1
thumb with a caulking mallet or
drop the anchor on your toe during
the spring overhaul.
The Benefits Include “emer- '
gency treatment, transportation to
the nearest place where approved
medical facilities are available, med- 1
ical care and hospitalization." Such
care, however, is not to extend for
more than one year or amount to
more than $2,500 for any one in
jury except by unanimous agree- i
ment of the seven-member board.
Alaska, so far as is known, is
now the only place under the Am
erican flag that provides an insur
ance policy with every fishing li- j
cense, and this new feature may
attract a lot of customers.

mon fisherman of our acquaintance: i
"From here on out, my salmon rod j
stays right with me. If anything

RATES 10
ALASKA TO
BE UPPED
(Continued from Page One)
ported it is of the opinion further
suspension of the rates and fares is
no longer justified."
A company spokesman said “much
of Alaska will be unaffected by the ;
increase” because general commod
ities are affected only in the South
east. He said the ore cargoes in
other sectors are insignificant and
the increase on fishery items range
from 4 to 20 per cent, with the over
all average probably below 10 per
cent.
Kate Upping
Rates to the Southeast on a few
valuable items, subject to damage,
pilferage or more cautious handling,
were scaled higher. For example,
the rate on liquor was boosted 22'
cents a cubic foot on a measure
ment shipping basis.
Rates on certain other commodi
ties to Southeast were increased
from 2 cents to 10 cents a cubic
foot and from 4 cents to 20 cents
per 100 pounds on a weight shipping
basis.
A company spokesman described
the Southeast rate increases as
"practically general.”
Skinner said cargoes already ac
cepted for shipment prior to Wedr
nesday of this week, and for which
bills of lading had been issued,
would be shipped under the old
rates.
BARTLETT'S STATEMENT
WASHINGTON, June 29 —(2PI—
The Alaska Steamship Co., was au
thorized today to put into effect
proposed passenger and freight rates
increases between Seattle and Ta
coma, Wash., and the Territory.
Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said
he was advised by the Federal Mar
] itime Board that it had lifted a
board order suspending the increases
until Sept. 21.
I At the same time, Bartlett said,
i the board ordered a public hearing
: into the rate increases to determine
if they should be continued. It will
, be held in Seattle, Sept. 10.
Bartlett said he would protest to
j the board its plans to hold a hearing
I only in Seattle.
"Certainly on a matter of this
kind,” he told a reporter, "they
| shouldn't expect interested Alaska
j shippers to come to Seattle. Hear
| ings also should be held in the Ter
, ritory.”

CONTROL
MEASURE
TO HOUSE
WASHINGTON, June 29 —(fl—
A bill to extend price, wage and
rent controls eight months but which
would curb drastically or possibly
ban any new price rollbacks was
passed by the Senate early today.
The bill, which falls far short of
the kind of measure President Tru
man contends the country needs to
combat inflation, was approved at
the tag end of a tumultuous mara
than session by a rollcall vote of
71 to 10.
Weary senators sent the bill to
the House, which plans to shunt it
aside temporarily* and act instead—
probably later in the day — on stop
gap legislation to extend the pres
ent controls law 31 days.
The House bill as cleared by its
rules committee would prohibit any
price rollbacks during July— the
proposed life of the measure. It
also would bar fixing any new price
ceilings during the month.
Extension Limit
The current law expires at mid
night tomorrow. House leaders have
decided against considering at this
time the longer range extension
approved by the Senate.
So the Senate appeared to face
the alternatives of (1) going along
with the House on a stop-gap ex
tension, or (2) letting the controls
program lapse. Agreement on a brief
extension seemed to be the likely
choice.
Compromise Expected
Senator Maybank, floor manager
of the Senate bill, declared he had
no doubt the Senate and House
would get together.
Passage of the Senate’s eight
month extension bill came shortly
before 3 a.m., EST.. after a con
tinuous session which lasted 16
hours. It started at 11 a.m., EST.,
yesterday.
On final passage, 41 Democrats
and 30 Republicans voted for the
bill. All 10 votes against it were
cast by Republicans.
