Fisheries Commission Votes to Exclude
Japan From Salmon Feeding Grounds
SEATTLE, UP) — The U. S. sec
tion of the North Pacific Fisher
ies Commission voted yesterday
to ask Japan to keep its fisher
men from an additional half-mil
lion square miles of high seas
feeding grounds used by Alaska
spawned salmon.
The commission administers a
U. S. - Japan - Canada treaty
which governs areas of interna
tional fishing in the North Pacific.
The treaty specifies that Jap
anese fishermen shall not fish for
salmon on the high seas east of
175 degrees west longitude.
The United States, because of
the tremendous 1957 catch of red
salmon by Japanese fishermen,
now wants to move this provi
About That Muktuk —
Today’s issue of the Nugget car
ries an AP dispatch on Page
One concerning this year’s catch
by Canadian whalers.
“Muktuk Jack” of the U. S.
Merc, says that the cetacian
delicacy that he is expecting on
the last boat is from the whale
catch referred to in the story.
“Muktuk Jack” says that the
seven ton shipment of muktuk
will be of a quality far surpassing
any heretofore available in this
area. He says the product will
be uniform in quality, packaging,
and has been quick frozen aboard
the whaling ships.
SEARCH FOR MISSING
PLANE FROM KING SALMON
The local CAP as well as CAP
planes from Galena are search
ing for a missing plane which left
King Salmon for Unalakleet and
did not arrive, several days ago.

INDIAN AFFAIRS DIRECTOR
HERE ON OFFICIAL VISIT
Jim Hawkins, area director for
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, is
here on his first official visit to
this part of the Territory since
his appointment.
Mr. Hawkins, who was with
the Rural Development Board,
and a former teacher in Alaska,
replaced Wm. Olson as area di
rector earlier this year.
Henry Stanley celebrates his
81st birthday today with his wife
and nine-month-old son. Stanley,
who has been a local resident all
his life, has four other children,
all grown, as well as several
grandchildren.
Jack Kelly has closed his Nome
Bakery due to ill health, and
plans to take a rest. He states
he is planning to remain here.
sional line 540 miles farther west,
which would exclude Nipponese
fishermen from an additional 548,
000 square miles of ocean feeding
grounds for North American sal
mon.
Japan, after an official U. S.
protest on the 1957 Japanese red
salmon catch, said the United
States should furnish proof that
North American stock used the
disputed* area.
,“¥e have that proof” Milton
Brooding of San Francisco, chair
man of the U. S. section, said.
“Biologists have examined more
than 15,000 salmon a year taken
from the Pacific Ocean feeding
grounds.
“We can now prove blood type
and bone structure ■ differences
between North American salmon
and Asiatic salmon.
“If unmolested in North Pa
cific feeding grounds,” he ex
plained, “both Asiatic and North
American salmon would return
in vastly greater runs to their
spawning areas.
Brooding said a 36-man Amer
ican delegation would go to To
kyo October 20 to attempt to ne
gotiate a new line of demarca
tion.

or or creed, the enjoyment of
their constitutional rights and the
full rfieasure of the law’s pro
tection.
“We must be faithful to our
Constitutional ideas and go for
ward to good faith with the un
remitting task of translating them
into reality.”
After reading this statement,
Eisenhower said that since the
matter was still in litigation he
would not have anything further
to say on it at this time.
It was the President’s first news
conference in five weeks — his
first since August 27.
On politics, Eisenhower said he
has heard talk of Republican apa
thy, of sitting on hands and com
placency in the Congressional cam
paigns. To him, he said, such an
attitude is incomprehensible.
He spoke of the philosophy of
his administration — he called it
a middle of the road and stay
out of the gutter doctrine — and
said the record of his almost six
years in office provides a good
foundation for GOP campaigning
this year.
Eisenhower said he doesn’t see
how any Republican candidate
could be anything less than en
thusiastic about the party’s
chances. Hitting out against voter
apathy, Eisenhower said that if
the Republicans failed to help
with their time, brains and
money, then their cause will be
lost.

Dag Says U.S.,
British Troops To
Quit Mid-East
By MAX HARRELSON
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., OP) —
Secretary General Dag Hammar
skjold announced today that the
United States and Britain had
agreed conditionally to withdraw
their troops from Lebanon and
Jordan.
The Secretary General said the
United States had promised to
complete the withdrawal from
Lebanon by the end of October if
the situation improves sufficient
ly. He said Britain would begin
pulling out of Jordan in October
and would complete the with
drawal as early as the situation
allows.
Hammarskjold made his an
nouncement in a 30-page report
to the General Assembly on his
recent Middle East peace mission.
He said he had appointed a
special representative to work out
arrangements to facilitate the
troop withdrawals and that the
representative, Pier R. Spinelli, a
U.N. undersecretary, is now in
Amman.
Hammarskjold said complete
mutual confidence among the
Arab countries has not yet been
restored. But he expressed the
belief “the implementation of the
good neighbor policy will meet
with growing success.”
Unofficial reports in London
'-aid the British withdrawal from
Jordan will be completed by Oc
tober 28.
The United States already has
pulled out its Marines from Leb
anon, and it appeared that the
remaining 7,500 U. S. soldiers
would be departing soon.

FWS Biologist Says’
Get Rid of Kodiak
Salmon Predators
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, — A Fish
and Wildlife Service biologist rec
ommends elimination so far as
practicable of all fish predators as
a major step toward restoring
dwindling sock eye salmon runs
in Karluk Lake and its tributar
ies on Alaska’s Kodiak Island.
The recommendation is one of
six methods advanced by George
A. Rounsefell, biologist for the
Bureau of Commercial Fisheries
after a study of the Karluk
fishery.
Referring to the tremendous
abundance of fish predators at
Karluk, Rounsefell said their
“great importance is clearly indi
cated” as a casual factor in the
salmon decline.
He theorizes that predators may
have increased because of efforts
to stabilize the sockeye runs by
obtaining large numbers of spawn
ing fish each year.
Before these efforts, he said,
] the number of spawners fluctu
ated in a more ' or less regular
manner from very high to very
j low, thereby serving as a natural
control on the number of preda
jtors feeding on the young fish.
Other of Rounsefell’s recom
jmendations included:
' Regulation of fishing in a man
ned to permit greater escapement
o* spawners from the middle por
tion of runs and fewer from the
early and late portions “since the
spawning success of the latter is
often adversely affected by au
tumn and spring temperature con
ditions.”
Restoring insofar as practicable
the former cyclic character of the
runs to lessen competition between
older young and fry, and possibly
-jive some measure of natural con
trol of predators.
Increasing growth rates of
young fish through fertilization of
lake waters, if found economic
ally feasible.
Increasing egg deposition of po
tential spawners through control
of predators on the adult run.
Accuracy Test
Firing of Navy
Missile Is Success
BRUNSWICK, Maine, UP) — As
more than 300 guests of the Navy
watched, a guided missile roared
from the deck of a heavy cruiser
far at sea.
A short time later the missile
— a Regulus I — glided to a per
fect landing at the Brunswick
Naval air station 100i miles away.
The Navy called the firing a com
plete success.
The launching was from the
USS Macon, which was on a de
pendents’ Day cruise 50 miles off
Boston.
The Navy said similar ship-to
shore firings have been made Ise
where, but this was the first in
this area.
The 30-foot Regulus I now out
dated by Regulus II, is a stubby
winged missile that resembles a
conventional jet plane. Its range
is about 500 miles; its speed in
excess of 735 mph.
IN THE SOUP!
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., UP) —
In preparing an eight-pound fe
male turtle for soup, Floyd H.
Hesseltine buried the unused por
tions, including 34 eggs, in his
back yard.
Mrs. Hesseltine Saturday found
31 young turtles, three inches
long, crawling around her garden.
The eggs had incubated in the
earth, and the turtles had clawed
their way to the surface.
