W. German Cabinet Deciding Whether
To Approve Adenauer’s Agreement
BONN Germany, (£)—The West
German cabinet heard a report on
the Moscow talks by Chancellor
Conrad Adenauer Thursday but
took no formal action.
An official announcement said
the ministers wanted to study de
tailed reports from the foreign
office on the negotiations between
Adenauer and the Russian lead
ers.
This indicated that they needed
more time to make up their minds
whether to approve the agreement
to set up normal diplomatic rela
tions between West Germany and
the Soviet Union. Adenauer stipu
lated that the Moscow agreement
should be subjected to approval
by the Bonn parliament.
According to Carlo Schmid, the
vice president of the Bundestag
(lower house), the agreement is to
be submitted to parliament Sept.
15. But this cannot be done until
the cabinet has decided what to
recommend to parliament.
Schmid, a leader of the opposi
tion Socialists and a member of
Adenauer’s delegation in Moscow,
attended Thursday’s special cabi
net session. He said in a broadcast
earlier that acceptance or rejec
tion of the Moscow agreement
would be a tough decision for the
Parliament to make.
Political sources said the gov
ernment parties will introduce a
motion qualifying acceptance of
diplomatic relations with Russia
by the conditions Adenauer made I
in Moscow:
l.The return of German prison
ers from Russia.
* 2. The fixing of Germany’s final
borders must be done in a peace
treaty.
3. Only the freely elected Bonn
regime is qualified to speak for all
Germany.
The informants said the Bund
estag will reiterate that the ulti
mate aim of West Germany is re
unification and that exchange of
diplomats with Moscow will in
no way imply any slackening of
efforts twoard unity.
The Communist East German
government attempted Thursday
to take the credit for the Soviet
promise to free the prisoners. It
claimed Adenauer was merely in
formed of the success of previous
Soviet-East German talks when
he was told by Bulganin the Ger
mans would be released.
The East German government
has claimed repeatedly that it has
been negotiating on the prisoner
issue with the Kremlin, but has
never announced any results.
The association of former Ger
man war prisoners sent Adenauer
a telegram yesterday thanking
him for obtaining Bulganin’s
pledge on the*prisoners. It said
3,000 doctors, 6,000 personal ad
visers and 3,000 nurses were being
assembled to care for the return
ing prisoners.
Clarification Givpn on
Mass for New Bishop
Father V. Rochkau of St. Jo
seph’s Church calls attention to a
recent news item and offers the
following clarification on the spe
cial mass for the new bishop.
The Solemn Pontifical Liturgy
celebrated last Sunday in San
Francisco at the consecration of
Bishop Ambrosiiis is the Solemn
Mass, such as it is commonly cele
brated by both Catholics,and Dis
sodents of the Bizantine Rite. In
its main features it was estab
lished by St. Basil and St. John
Chrysostom (5th and 6th centur
ies) on the basis of traditions still
earlier.
The consecration of a bishop
takes place during a Pontifical
Mass. The rite is already de- :
'scribed in writings of the end of ]
the 3rd century.
The Russian Church was not in
terested in the schism of the
Greek Patriarch Michael Caeru-'
larius (1054) and did not break
communion with the Holy Father
until 1440.
The first Russian missionaries
arrived in Sitka in 1794. They
built churches in every village
from Southern Alaska up to St.
Michael before missionaries of
any other denomination were in
the territory.
About 60 of these churches still
in use are under the jurisdiction
of the new bishop.

FWS Seeks Alaska
Salmon Origin By
Blood Typing
JUNEAU, UP)—A three months
North Pacific research cruise,
angling for some answers to the
Alaska salmon fishing problem,
has been completed by the Fish
and Wildlife Service.
Purpose of the investigation
was to gain information about the
distribution and abundance of all
species of salmon off the coast of
Alaska and to try to prove a
theory that racial origin of the
fish can be determined by blood
type.
Conducting the research aboard
the FWS vessel John N. Cobb
were Don Powell, chief of North
Pacific exploration, and Bob Ting,
fish biologist, both of Seattle.
They voiced the opinion a new
commercial off-shore fishery in
Alaska could be established*
Powell and Ting fished the en
tire length of the Alaska coast
from SO to 300 miles out. They
made 50 one-mile gillnet sets,
caught 2,400 salmon and tagged
330 salmon. They also took blood
samples of red salmon which they
are taking back to Seattle for
laboratory study.
Ting said if the blood - type
theory proves up a significant ad
vance will be made in the at
tempt to find a serviceable tech
nique for the determination of
specific racial origins of salmon
in the North Pacific.
“Like in humans, we think that
salmon species have distinct blood
types,” Ting explained. “If our
lab studies show this to be true
we’ll be able to separate salmon
races by blood type.”
Ting said one of the most per
plexing ' questions facing fish
biologists today is the determin
ation of the origin of salmon
caught in Alaska waters.
The studies are aimed in part
at finding out whether salmon
caught by the Japanese on the
high seas affect the Alaska runs.
