Experience Rating
Credits Case Due
In Circuit Court
A sum of $882,000 is involved in
an Alaska case due to be tried in
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
in San Francisco next week.
J. Gerald Williams, attorney gen
eral, left for San Francisco Fri
day to appeal from a decision han
ded down by Judge George W. Folta
in District Court in which he held
that that sum was due the New
England Fish Company and Ward's
Cove Packing Company in exper
ience rating credits. Williams is
representing the Employment Se
curity Commission.
The commission’s argument is
that experience rating credits col
lected by the companies in 1950
should be counted as cash against
the fish companies’ 1951 surplus.
New England Fish Company and
Wards Cove packers claim only act
ual cash paid in can be considered.
The packing companies are rep
resented by Faulkner, Banfield
and Boochever.

Drift Gillnefs
Shortened in
Cook Inlet Area
For the balance of the salmon
fishing season in Cook Inlet drift
gillnets will be limited to 150 fath
oms, Richard Shuman, acting reg
ional director of U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, said today. For
mer allowable limit was 200 fath
oms. The change in the regulation
is effective immediately.
Shuman said this measure was
made necessary by the increase in
gear and' is being put into opera
tion before the peak of the salmon
run which is due to come next
week.
Closed fishing period for the
Cook Inlet area has also been in
creased from 48 hours last year to
84 for this year. Shuman expressed
hope that shortening the drift
gillnets, with the additional closed
time, will guarantee adequate es
canement.

'Peggy' Bright
Comedy Opening
At Capitol Theatre
Combining the colorful pageantry
of Pasadena’s world-famous New
Year’s Day Rose Parade with a
barrel of howlarious belly-laughs,
Universal-Iinternational’s Techni
color "Peggy,” which opens tomor
row at the Capitol Theatre, emer
ges as one of the brightest comedies
of the year.
With the present trend in Hol
lywood pointing toward semidocu
mentary film fare, it is puzzling
why the moviemakers haven't
pointed their cameras at the Pasa
dena Tournament of Roses before
this. The great flower-covered
floats, bands and horsemen, plus
the climactic Rose Bowl football
game, which are fitted into the
story of “Peggy,” become topnotch
entertainers under the skilled hand
of Director Frederick deCordova.
'U’ President
Lands 22 Times
On Icefield
Dr. Terris Moore, president of
the University of Alaska, returned
to Fairbanks late Wednesday after
devoting several days of his vaca
tion to the Juneau Icefield Re
search Project.
From Saturday through Wednes
day Dr. Moore made 22 landings
with the Piper Super Cub at five
camp sites on the icefield.
The different camps, at levels
between 3.600 and 6,000 feet, pre
sent a great variety of snow con
ditions, with exceptionally smooth
snow at the upper levels, which
could provide excellent skiing, es
pecially later in the summer.
This season has proven to those
on the icefield that transportation
intff a ski area can be simple and
inexpensive. A small plane needs
a smooth stretch two or three
hundred feet long to provide land
ing and take-off facilities.
In addition to the 22 landings
made in transportation of men and
gear about the icefield, Dr. Moore
flew Monday to Skagway, return
ing with Mrs. Moore who sailed on
the Princess Norah on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Governor Gruening
flew out to the main camp with
Dr. Moore and had lunch with the
crew there, visiting other camps
later in the day, one of which was
newly established Camp 8, at the
highest point on the icefield gla
cier surface.
At Camp 16 on the flat crest of
the Lemon Glacier, Dr. Moore
landed gasoline and equipment to
be used by the JIRP men in co-op
eration with a meteorology team
from the Air Forces Arctic Weather
Central.
This camp is the westernmost
weather station and can be seen
from the Glacier Highway.

Explosive Action
In 'Passage West'
Al 20th Century .
Paramount's new Technicolor of
fering, "Passage West," which opens
today at the 20th Century Theatre,
is a strikingly fresh adventure
drama that packs a real entertain
ment punch. Imaginatively staged
and handsomely photographed, the
film recount the terror-ridden
journey of a group of pioneers
held captive by a band of escaped
convicts.
Starring John Payne, beautiful
Arleen Whelan and Dennis O’Keefe,
this William Pine-William Thomas
production makes the most of an
intelligent and exciting script.
Starting out with the stinging im
pact of a whiplash, it sustains the
excitement and suspense as the
Wagon trail train rolls desperately
to a raw frontier.
The caravan is led by a young
preacher who can hold his own in
any brawl, if forced to. Then the
hunted jail breakers force them
selves on the group and drive it
toward the California gold country
at a killing pace. They are headed
by a cold-blooded murderer who
answers an incipient mutiny
among the pioneers with a bull
whip and r. gun.

BIG STINKY’ FLY TRAPS
DUE IN JUNEAU SOON
The “Big Stinky Outdoor Fly
Trap" ' that Bill Ellis told the
Chamber of Commerce about at
its last meeting has created an in

today.
Already, a dairyman who read the
story about the fly traps in the
Chamber of Commerce report has
added an order to those Ellis has
coming from the Boston firm that
sell.s the fly eradicators.
Four are due in town shortly, and
if they perform as advertised—kill
every fly within a quarter mile ra
dius of the trap—Ellis thinks they
will be just the thing for summer

dens. Ellis will report success or
failure, he says.
