Conservation Interests Protest High
Seas Fishing By The Japanese Which
Endangers Entire Salmon Resource
(By The Associated Press)
The outdoors world is develop
ing a full scale international inci
dent of i# own, with Japanese
fishing for North American sal
mon the issue.
Sports fishermen and even non
fishing conservationists are add
ing their voices to the protests
that originally came from com
mercial interests, since recent
American and Canadian studies
indicate the whole salmon re
source may be at stake.
The Japanese began their cur
rent high seas operation, in what
North Americans claim is in vio
lation of the 1951 North Pacific
treaty, in 1954 and have expand
ed it annually.
Since Japan has no salmon
spawning in her own territory,
salmon taken on the high seas
come chiefly from the coastal
streams of the U-S., Canada and
Soviet Russia.
Particularly affected has been
the red salmon resource of the
Bristol Bay area of Alaska. The
American section of the Interna
tional North Pacific Fisheries
Commission has proposed the
high seas zone where the Bristol
Bay salmon go be designated a
zone closed to all fishing this
year.
Alternatives, the Commission
said, involve either closing the
American and Canadian opera
tion down altogether in order to
achieve a reasonable escapement,
or permit wide open fishing by
the North Americans — “as the
Japanese do, and destroy the
cycle.”
Three measures now are in
Congress to authorize some addi
tional high level negotiating. One
resolution by Sens. 'Magnuson
and Jackson of Washington, di
rect the Secretary of State to dis
cuss treaty obligations and the
closed zone with the government
of Japan. A similar measure is
in the House hopper. And a
House bill would make it unlaw
ful to import salmon taken on the
high seas into the U.S. for sale,
if the methods by which they
were taken would have been un
lawful “if practiced and perform
ed by citizens of the U.S.”

Rademacher Ready
For Return Match
With Patterson
ATLANTA, UR — Pete Rade
macher, former Olympic cham
pion, said Monday he feels cer
tain he could get a return match
with heavyweight champion
Floyd Patterson in England this
summer.
The fighter, who was beaten by
Patterson last Aug. 22 in Seattle
also said he was willing to meet
the No. 1 contender as determined
by the National Boxing Assn., as
a stepping stone to Patterson.
In a telephone interview with
the Atlanta Constitution from his
home in Columbus, Ga., Rade
macher said:
“Although I’m quite certain
that I can get the return match
in England without doing this, I
prefer fighting the No. 1 con
tender so that I can prove to the
public that I warrant a second
chance.”
Rademacher said the reason he
had refused fight offers since
Aug. 22 was because of an injury
to the second knuckle on his
right hand in that title bout.
