Program to Provide
Work Relief For
Alaska Fishermen
FAIRBANKS, UP) — Territorial
Labor Commissioner Henry Ben
son and Alaska Delegate E. L.
Bartlett Wednesday proposed a
conference be held in Juneau
Oct. 5 to work out a program of
work relief for the territory’s fish
ermen.
In a joint statement, Benson
and Bartlett called on the federal
government and the territory to
provide aid to fishermen and their
families who “face actual hard
^ ships during the coming winter
months unless the government
moves quickly and affirmatively.”
Meanwhile, Gov. Frank Heint
zleman said he may ask that spe
cial trapping seasons be opened up
to help out. He said that some
southeastern Alaskans face possi
ble economic distress because of
g the poor salmon fishing this sum
mer.
The 1953 Alaska salmon pack was
the poorest in more than 30 years
and the season has been described
as disastrous.
“It is our very strong conviction
that the government has a duty in
the circumstances,” Benson and
Bartlett said. “We believe that
> since the federal government has
maintained control of our fishery,
which has almost reached a total
point of collapse under federal
management, that it is obviously
up to the federal government to
assist our people in this crisis.”

Pleas Judge Joseph H. Silbert late
Wednesday convicted three mem

ceding afternoon no pictures

Red Chinese Warship
Attacks British Launch,
Killing Six Seamen
HONG KONG, US’) — A Navy
source said Thursday night a
small Chinese Communist warship
which attacked a Royal Navy
launch Wednesday opened fire
without warning in international
waters outside Hong Kong, killing
six.
The source, asking to remain
anonymous, said men on the
launch reported the Red warship/
a Corvette, scored 12 hits on the
launch. At least five other British
seamen were wounded.
The survivors related that the
lightly armed launch spotted the
Red Corvette and began to turn.
Then the Corvette opened fire

Labor Day Visitors
Labor Day in Nome was quiet
and other than having Front
Street partly filled with 44 visi
tors from Anchorage, southward
to the Lone Star State of Texas.
Arctic Alaska Travel Service of
Anchorage arranged a special
charter flight with Alaska Airlines
out of Anchorage for Nome with
an overnight stop in Kotzebue.
The one and only reason for
Nome not being the overnight
stop for special flights was lack
of sufficient hotel facilities here
for large groups. This fact should
now be recognized by all business
firms and individuals so that
plans' to enlarge the hotels of
Nome can be activated.
