j Longest Underwater
Telephone Cable Planned
For Japan Communications
TOKYO, UP) — The United
States may be able to see a live
telecast of Crown Prince Akihito’s
coronation as Emperor of Japan
if it takes place after the mid
1960’s.
And telephone users on the
American mainland will pick up
their phone six or seven years
from now, dial Tokyo and hear
their party loud and clear.
These prospects were opened up
yesterday by the announcement
| that the Japan Overseas Radio and
I Cable Co. and the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Co. will
start laying the world’s longest
submarine telephone cable — the
first between Japan and Hawaii
— sometime next year. The cable,
more than 4,900 miles long, will
tie in to the existing Hawaii-U. S.
cable.
Aleutian Sea Lions
Confirmed A Threat
To Alaska Salmon
SEATTLE, UP) — More than
140,000 sea lions living on several
dozen rookeries in the Aleutian
Islands and on the Alaska penin
sula, are a definite factor in the
diminishing Alaska fish runs, the
University of Washington fisher
ies research institute said Wed
nesday.
The institute currently is com
pleting an analysis of a three
year research project on the dis
tribution, life history and food
and mating habits of these ani
mals. Dr. William F. Royce is di
rector of the institute.
The population estimate was
made possible by an aerial photo
technique developed by the insti
tute. Strip photos were taken of
each rookery and the animals in
dividually counted.
- Dr. Royce said it would not be
difficult to reduce the sea lion
herds by hunting.
“However, no substantial reduc
tion appears economically feas
ible unless commercial utilization
of the meat is found,” he added.
