Senate Bill Would Provide
Federal Aid To The
Ailing Fishing Industry
WASHINGTON, Depressed
segments of the fishing industry
would get federal aid under a
bill introduced by Sen. Salton
stall (R-Mass). The bill would
provide:
(1) Incentive payments to fish
ermen and processing plant; (2) A
loan program for repair and mod
ernization of processing plants;
(3) construction differential sub
sidies for vessels built in Ameri
can yards; (4) Incentives to re
duce ship insurance costs.
Saltonstall said it would be es
pecially helpful to the New Eng
land groundfish industry and the
Alaskan bottomfish industry.
Sen. Magnuson (D-Wash) said
the bill will be of aid to fisher
men but will not solve the entire
problem.
The bill would amend the 1956
Pish and Wildlife Act to provide
assistance to fishermen in the
form of direct loans, grants-in
aid, and incentive payments to
aid the fishing industry to im
prove its methods of catching,
handling and preserving and pro
cessing fish.
Magnuson said aid to American
fishermen is needed because dur
ing the last 11 years the importa
tion of bottomfish has increased
from 9 million pounds a year to
135 million pounds a year.
There is enough ice in Antarc
tica today to cover the entire
globe with a layer 120 feet thick.
Suspect Sabotage
To Plane of British
Soccer Players
MUNICH, Germany, Itf) — Re
lays of weary doctors and nurses
fought desperately today to save
the manager of the British cham
pionship soccer team and three
others critically injured in a j
plane crash yesterday which took
21 lives.
Among the dead were seven
players and a coach of the Man
chester United team, eight Brit
ish sports writers and a steward
of the chartered British European
Airways (BEA) plane.
Of the 23 survivors, 15 were
hospitalized.
Nine airline officials, repre
sentatives of the West German
Air Office and German Air Se
curity officials began an investi
gation of the disaster.
The London Daily Mail, one of
whose cameramen survived the
crash, in a dispatch from Munich
quoted BEA chief executive An
thony H. Milward as saying that
the possibility of sabotage “be
comes more and more apparent.”
But a BEA official in London
told newsmen the airline had “no
reason at all to suspect sabotage,”
and Josef Reichel', chief of the
West German federal air crash
section, said the possibility of
sabotage “seems entirely far
fetched.”

Red Deplores Sex
And Commercials
In American TV
MOSCOW, (iP>—A Soviet official
said today sex in American
movies and commercials in tele
vision programs are problems
that will have to be bridged if
the new U.S.-Soviet agreement
on cultural exchange is made to
work.
A. A. Kuznetsov, deputy chair
man of the Soviet state commit
tee on cultural relations, was one
of the negotiators of the Wash
ington accord. He discussed the
agreement in a long article in the
newspaper Literary Gazette. The
agreement calls for an exchange
of films and TV programs.
“We must keep in mind,” he
said, “a number of peculiarities of
American radio and television
which we do not want.”
He objected specifically to
“sexual trimmings” which he said
in some cases were “downright
pornographic.”
’ Kuznetsov said he once asked
a movie man in the United States
for the guiding principle in Am
erican pictures and was shocked
to find that it was nothing more
than entertainment.
Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
To intelligently and convenient
ly express a measure of distance,
the unit must not be used too
many times. For instance, we do
not state the distance between
New York and Chicago in inches,
or feet, but in miles.
The earth’s radius is a con
venient unit of measure for the
distance to the moon, because it
has to be taken only 60 times.
But it would .not be convenient
to use so small a unit in stating
the distances associated with the
planets.
By a convention of astrono
mers, the mean radius of the
earth’s orbit around the sun, is
the accepted unit of measure in
the solar system. Similarly the
adopted unit of stellar distance
is not the distance of any planet
nor the distance of any star, but
the distance traveled by a light
wave in a year. This unit is called
the light year. The velocity of
light is 186,300 miles per second,
and it travels from the sun to
the earth in 499 seconds.

$20 Bills Grow On Trees
! In Brooklyn, Wisconsin
BROOKLYN, Wis., UP! — A 16
I year-old farm boy walking home
1 from school yesterday spent a
pleasant hour picking t money off
| trees.
And the Brooklyn State Bank
is grateful.
It seems that a mail pouch
bearing $13,500 consigned to the
bank was tossed from a non-stop
Chicago & Northwestern Road
train, but instead of landing on
the station platform was sucked
under the speeding wheels.
The mishap went unnoticed in
this community of about 500, un
til Warren Fleishman started
walking home along the railroad
tracks. He saw some green paper
on underbrush along the right of
way. Money. He picked up a
bundle. Twenty dollar bills.
Presently Warren walked back
to the village and talked it over
with village marshal Donald Fer
ris. Then they both went back
j and walked along the tracks.
The two between them found
i $13,485 of the missing $13,500.
