New Proposal For j
Fishing Rights
Not Acceptable
WASHINGTON, UPL-Rep. Pel-!
ly (R-Wash) advised the United
States delegation at Geneva Wed.;
that new proposal governing fish- ;
ing rights “is not acceptable to
the fishing industry.”
He made the statement in a
telegram to Arthur H. Dean,
chairman of the U. S. delegation
at the International Conference
of Law of the Sea.
The new proposal advanced
by Dean, would give each nation
jurisdiction over a six-mile off
shore area for military purposes
with a six-mile continuous zone
i in which it would control fishing
| rights.
Dean proposed, however, that
I jurisdiction over an area for
I fishing purposes would not ex
clude nationals of another doun
| try who have acquired historic
rights to fish in the area over
a previous 10-year period.
Pelly advised the U. S. dele
gation chairman this proposal as
1 applied to the Pacific Northwest
“would cede to Canada 20 per
cent of troll and 35 per cent of
trawl catch, thus curtailing pro
duction in ruinous proportions.”
He said it would make con
servation impossible and would
be “wholly unsatisfactory.”
British and Russian
Trawlers Tangle
Over Fishing Grounds
ABERDEEN, Scotland, M — A
British gunboat sailed into fish-,
ing grounds off the Norwegian
coast Thursday to sort out a
tangle between British and Rus
sian trawlers.
Skippers of the British vessels
messaged that the Russians were
cutting through nets in the Vik
ing herring grounds about 260
miles northeast of Aberdeen.
One irate skipper radioed there
seemed to be about 400 Russian
trawlers strung out from horizon
to horizon. The half dozen or so
British trawlers in the area were
having trouble finding good
berths, the message added.
The Royal Navy ordered H.M.S.
Belton—a 360-ton converted mine
! sweeper now on fisheries pro
tection duties—off to investigate.
The Belton reported back she
had contacted the skippers of 10
! Russian trawlers and all appeared
\ quiet.
A Navy spokesman explained
I Wednesday that Russia has in
creased her fishing fleet so rap
| idly recently that many of the
; ships now are manned by crews
; who don’t know the international
I ropes.
“When we tell them they are
doing the wrong thing they are
usually only too grateful for the
information,” the spokesman said.
U. S. Models vs.
Russian Sputnik
At World’s Fair
BRUSSELS, Belguim, UPi —
King Baudouin opened the post
war world’s biggest international
exposition and declared: “the
aim of this World’s Fair is to
create an atmosphere of under
standing and peace.”
It was a chill, gray day and a
whistling wind made it overcoat
weather, but failed to hold- down
the crowds.
Hundreds poured into the
American and Russian pavilions.
During the first hours, the crowds
appeared to be slightly larger
at the beautiful circular Amer
ican show. But the throngs at
the Russian hall were not much
smaller.
Chief attraction of the Soviets
appeared to be models of their
challenging sputniks. The main
interests at the U. S. exhibition
was a bevy of beautiful girls—
some in brief bathing suits. No
body whistled at the sputniks.
The Russians put out a large
guest book and invited visitors to
make comments.
“This is a large, lovely pavil
ion,” wrote one, “keep up the
good work.”
“It is all propaganda,” said
another.
Both were written in French.
The Americans had no guest
book.
Both countries opened with
traditional ribbon-cutting cere
monies. The Americans had a
message from President Eisen
hower, greeting the first guests
and applauding the fair. There
was none from Nikita Khrush
chev, Soviet Premier.
Soviet Ambassador Victor Avi
lov opened the tall, rectangular
Russian show. He made no
speech. The Americans had plen
ty of speech making. Visitors
shivered in the cold weather dur
ing the oratory.
The Russian exhibit appeared
to be completely ready. The
American show was not.
| Howard S. Cullman, U. S. Com
i missioner for the fair, said the
I U. S. theater next to the pavilion
S will be ready in about two weeks.
| The American hot dog, hambur
j ger and soft drink store opened
■ a little late and was thronged by
customers.
