Japan Has More
Salmon Boats This
Year Than Last
SEATTLE, UFi v— Announced
“concessions” in Japan’s North
Pacific salmon fisheries do not
represent true concession at all,
the secretary-treasurer of the
Alaska Fishermen’s Union
charged Friday.
In a letter to Washington state
congressmen, A F U secretary
treasurer George Johansen said:
“To the best of our knowledge,
the Japanese had 14 mother ships
and 405 catcher boats in 1957.
In 1958 they will have 15 mother
ships and 432 catcher boats. It
this information is correct, this
constitutes a considerable in
crease for the season of 1958.
It is our understanding that the
Japanese have talked in terms of
decrease in their take of red
saimon from 20 million to 11
million fish. This is not a con
cession on the part of the Japan
ese, as one has to consider that
the cycle year for 1958 is con
siderably smaller than the cycle
year for 1957.”

Russia Capable
Of Launching
Large Warheads
By VERN HAUGLAND
HOUSTON, Tex., W — Lt. Gen.
Donald L. Pitt said Friday night
the Sputnik III launching clearly
indicates Russia has the “means
to launch intercontinental ballis
tic missiles with sizeable war
heads.”
Aviation sources said this was
the first time the Air Force has
been that blunt about Russian
power.
Pitt bid the Air Force farewell
with talk about missiles, the
speed capability of the B-70
bomber and space vehicles and
satellites.
The retiring general said the
U. S. Air Force has taken a
cautious approach to the nuclear
| bomber “in order to come up
with a weapons system.”
“I wouldn’t be the least bit sur
prised if the Russians should fly
nuclear propelled aircraft within
less than a year,” he said.
Highlights on his talk included:
1. The forthcoming North
Amerisan F-108 long range inter
ceptor, capable of flying ex
tremely long distances at three
times the speed of sound and
more, will be armed with a new
air guided missile with an atomic
warhead, the GAR-9.
I 2. The North American B-70
bomber now under development
will fly faster than 2,000 miles
an hour “at very high altitudes
for its entire range. We have
j reached that stage in develop
I ment of supersonic aerodynamics
1 where, under certain conditions,
I the faster we fly the farther we
!go.
3. The Air Force nuclear pro
pulsion program includes not only
a bomber but propulsion devices
for rocket, ramjet and auxiliary
power plants for satellites and
space vehicles.
Survivors of Rammed
Sub Feel They Are
Lucky To Be Alive
HONOLULU, UP)— A naval of
ficer said Saturday it was a mir
acle that any of the eight officers
or 84 crewmen escaped from the
submarine Stickleback before she
sank Thursday after being
rammed by the destroyer escort
Silverstein.
Capt. Paul C. Stimson, com
mander of Submarine Squadron
Seven, praised the crews of both
ships for saving all hands with
out injury or loss of life.
“We are just lucky that we are
not consoling any widows,” he
said.
The 10-million-dollar Stickle
back sank in water two miles
deep 19 miles southwest of here.
She was on maneuvers with the
destroyer escort.
Lt. Cmdr. Q. R. Schulz, Racine,
Wis., said his sub had lost power
just before the escort rammed
her.
The Silverstein’s skipper, Cmdr.
C. S. Swift of San Landro, Calif.,
said the sub’s tower was sighted
by a lookout only 100 yards off.
The impact came about 10
seconds after he gave the com
mand to reversed engines.
He moored alongside and took
off the submarine’s crew.
Damage to the Silverstein wa^
minor.

United Airlines Drops
“Buzzing” Charge
Against Air Force Pilot
SAN FRANCISCO, UP> — United
Air Lines has accepted the Air
Force’s denial that a B-47» pilot
"deliberately buzzed” an UAL
airliner with 62 persons aboard.
Maj. Ugen Mathis said he act
ually was maneuvering his big
jet bomber to avoid a possible
collision with the DC-7 near
Salina, Kan. Thursday. He is
based at Schilling AFB near
Salina.
In Washington, Undersecretary
of the Air Force Malcom A. Mac
Intyre exclaimed “unfounded . . .
an irresponsible statement” of
the UAL complaint to the Civil
Aeronautics Administration. The
complaint was withdrawn last
night.
UAL pilot M. K. Wolfe had
charged on arrival here that a
B-47 crossed only 500 to 1,000
feet in front of his airliner. He
called it “a deliberate buzz.”
Sen. William F. Knowland,
California Republican, one of 58
passengers, had asked the Air
Force and CAA to investigate.
