Pelly Proposes
Ban on Import of
Japanese Salmon
WASHINGTON, UP> — A House
Committee heard a proposal Mon
day for banning importation of
Japanese canned salmon unless
Japanese fishermen stay away
from waters where Alaska
spawned salmon gather.
Rep. Thomas Pelly (R-Wash)
offered such amendment as a
House Fisheries Subcommittee
considered measures to protect
Alaska-spawed red salmon.
Testimony indicated heavy
catches by Japanese are cutting
down the number of red salmon
and hurting the Alaskan fishing
industry.
Pelly’s legislation would ban
imports from any country whose
citizens fish for salmon by gill
nets on the high seas at time
and places where there are large
quantities of immature salmon
of North American origin.
The Japanese have declined
to go along with American con
servation measures to protect the
Alaskan salmon, Pelly said.
Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska)
told the committee that Alaskan
fishermen depend upon the sal
mon they catch for their hard
money and have been sorely hurt
in the last few years by Japan
ese catches.
FIRE ALARM TUESDAY
The fire alarm set off yester
day noon was turned in for a hot
smoke stack at one of Chief
Laws cabins on Second Ave. oc
cupied by Janet Douglas. No
