Senate Passes Pension
Welfare Fund Control Bill
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Sen
ate passed a pension-welfare
fund control bill 88-0 Monday
night but generated enough heat i
in five days of debate to keep j
the political pot boiling the rest I
of the session.
Indications Monday were that I
the House Labor Committee will
hold hearings on the bill with
prospects there uncertain. The
House already has 15 bills on the
subject including one identical
to the Senate measure.
Fourteen amendments they of
fered, covering a wide range
from proposals designed to as
sume union democracy to ef
forts to make major changes in
the Taft-Hartley Law, were de
feated. A coalition of all Dem
ocrats except Sen. Lausche (D
Ohio) plus about a dozen repub
licans turned them back.
Only one amendment was adop
ted. It was a proposal by Sen.
Mundt (R-SD) to make it illegal
for a person convicted of a felony
to serve as officer, trustee, cus
todian or employee of a pension
of welfare fund.
This was adopted 90-0 after
sponsors of the bill and the Dem
ocratic leadership accepted it,
saying they too were against sin
and criminals.
The bill, which was a part of
the Eisenhower administration’s
1958 labor program, seeks to pro
tect employees covered by the
benefit funds through full dis
closure of their operations.
It would require registration
with the Secretary of Labor and
detailed public accounting of
operations of each fund, for the
first time, federal criminal penal
ties are set up for embezzling or
stealing any moneys, or taking
kickbacks in connection with a
fund, as well as for false re
porting to the government.

Japanese Fishermen
Not Taking Many
British Columbia Salmon
VANCOUVER, B. C., UR — Jap
anese high seas fishermen are
not taking many, if any, British
Columbia-spawned salmon in the
Pacific.
That was the opinion expressed
by George R. Clark of the In
ternational North Pacific Fish
eries Commission.
He told an open meeting of
fishermen that “our scientific
investigations present a clear in
dication that no significant num
ber of salmon—indeed if any—
of British Columbia origin are
being taken in the (Japanese)
high seas fishery.”
United Fishermen and Allied
Workers Union representatives
asked if anything could be done
this year to keep the Japanese
fishing fleet further westward in
the Pacific.
“I’m always an optimist,” Mr.
Clark replied.
Investigations have been going
on for some time in an attempt
to determine the origin of sal
mon taken by various interna
tional fleets of the Pacific high
seas fishery. By international
agreement Japanese fishing boats
do not fish east of a certain
Pacific meridian.

HELPING TO SELL ALASKA VISITORS—
The Alaska Visitors Association has two new
aids to help travel agents sell Alaska travel.
They are the new attractive totem pole Alaska
literature rack and the new enlarged Alaska
travel manual shown between Lillian Crosson
(right) and a potential Alaska visitor. The
manual is nearly 50 per cent larger than the
one produced two years ago. It has gone out
to about 3,000 top travel agents and carriers.
These sales aids are part of the. AVA promotion
program being implemented by West-Marquis,
Inc., the association’s advertising agency.
Mrs. Crosson, well-known former Alaskan and
widow of pioneer pilot Joe Crosson, operates
a travel agency in Seattle.
Senate Acts To
Give Railroads
Shot In Arm
WASHINGTON, OP) — A Sen
ate Commerce Subcommittee to
day recommended that Congress
repeal the excise tax on rail
transportation and authorize guar
antees for 700 million dollars
worth of loans to the railroads.
Sen. Smathers (D-Fla), chair
man of the subcommittee on sur
face transportation, said the bill
is designed to revive the finan
cially pressed carriers and avert
“a catastrophe in the transpor
tation system.”
The proposal for government
guarantees of loans to the rail
roads is somewhat similar to rec
omendations made recently by
the Eisenhower administration.
The legislation, which now goes
to the full Commence Committee
for action, would authorize gov
ernment guarantees on a total of
700 million dollars of 15-vear
loans for purchasing new equip
ment.
