Fisheries Commission President
Deplores Government Secrecy
SEATTLE, iff!—American State
Department secrecy on fisheries
and other matters of interest to
the public was criticized by the
president of the International
North Pacific Fisheries Commis
sion.
Edward H. Allen, Seattle at
torney who.heads the three-power
commission,'declared in a speech
to the Alaska division of the Se
attle Chamber of Commerce:
“One of the things that bothers
me is the secrecy surrounding
much of our activities. Just this
week I received a letter from the
State Department stamped ‘confi
dential’ all over it.
“Of course, I have to answer
in the same way. But many of
these matters are ones that the
public really ought to know. I
wish more of our activities could
be out in the open, and I wish the
State Department’s activities could
be conducted more openly.”
Allen told the Chamber audi
ence that he expects Japan to
agree eventually to shift the fish
eries commission abstention line
farther west in the Pacific Ocean
and protect the Bristol Bay red
salmon stocks the Japanese fleets
are depleting.
Meanwhile, he predicted that'
Japan will restrict its salmon fish- •
ing as it did the past year and
not invade waters north of the
Aleutian Islands with the same

ruinous, wide-open fishing tac
tics it followed in 1957.
If the Japanese restrain them
selves. the commission president
said, stocks of Bristol Bay red sal
mon may be maintained, even re
stored a little in the years before
the abstention line is moved west
of its present location along the
meridian of 175 West Longitude.
However, he warned, any de
cision of the commission requires
unanimous approval from its
United States, Canadian and Jap
anese representatives.
Meanwhile, studies indicate that
all stocks of U. S. fish, including
all Alaska salmon except the Bris
tol Bay reds, are adequately pro
tected by the present line.
Allen praised accomplishments
of the commission.
Particularly at this year’s meet
ing in Tokyo, he said,' the friendly
tone of discussions proved how
much progress has been made.
But he thinks a firmer State
Department stand would have eli
minated today’s problems if it
had been taken in 1951 when the
original treaty was negotiated.
At that time. Allen said, the
State Department settled for Jap
anese acceptance of the “absten
tion” principle instead of insist
ing on this nation’s absolute right
to the Alaska salmon fishery it
had developed and "conserved.
A precedent for U. S. property
rights to the Alaska salmon was
set in the 1930’s, he recalled, when
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
warned Japanese fleets off from
the grounds they had been fishing
near Bristol Bay.

Things Looking Up For
Father of Girl Killed
Chicago School Fire
CHICAGO. UP) — Thin?s looked
a little brighter — literally and
figuratively — today for Stanley
Bur - a
Things j were blackest a week
ago when he left Cook County
Hospital wearing protective blind
ers over an injured eye to make
funeral arrangements for his
daughter.
The girl, Beverly Ann, 13, was
killed in the fire December 1 at
Our Lady of the Angels School.
Burda, a 37-year-old former
milkman, was unemployed. On the
morning of his daughter’s death,
a splinter which penetrated his
left eye while he was chopping
wood was removed.
The tragedy got Burda a job,
temporarily, checking up on the
needs of other families whose
children were killed or injured in
the fire. He was hired for his work
by Jim Moran, an auto dealer,
who announced he would give
$10,000 to needy families of fire
victims.
Burda was told by doctors Mon
day he could take off his blind
ers. His injured eye is virtually
normal again.

MIAMI, Fla., UP> — Homer S

Goldfine Indicted
For Contempt
WASHINGTON, UP1 — A federal
grand jury yesterday indicted
Boston industrialist Bernard Gold
fine on a charge of contempt of
Congress.
The 18-count indictment was
based on Goldfine’s refusal to an
swer 22 questions put to him by
the House Subcommittee on Leg
islative Oversight, which last
summer investigated Goldfine’s
relationship with Sherman Adams,
then Assistant to President Eisen
hower.
The questions Goldfine refused
to answer were mostly about his
financial dealings with a Boston
company he controls.
The House voted a contempt ci
tation 378-8 on August 13.
The law provides for maximum
penalties of a year in jail and a
fine of $1,000 for each count of
contempt proven in court.
