Senate Votes
Travel Funds For
Fisheries Hearing
JUNEAU, UP) — The Senate
passed unanimously Friday two
bills to pay the cost of Congres
sional fishery hearings scheduled
here this week.
The bill, authorizing expenditure
of $3,500 to cover the cost of
bringing witnesses from Bristol
Bay, now go to the Governor’s
office for approval.
Senator Bob Bartlett will con
duct the hearings which will be
concerned with a bill to ban im
' ports of Japanese canned salmon.
Testimony concerning the eco
nomic effects of a recent closure
of the Bristol Bay area also will
be taken.
The Senate Finance Committee
also gave a “hurry up and do
pass” recommendation to a bill
giving the Governor’s office $25,
000 in emergency funds. The
money will be used to pay legal
costs arising from a court chal
lenge of the Interior Department’s
recent fish trap ban. In this case
Alaska would intervene on behalf
of the federal government.
In other action the Senate gave
unanimous approval to two other
bills. One would create a state
magistrate system to replace the
cuirent jurisdiction of U. S. Com
missioner courts.
The bill would appoint nine
magistrates and 55 deputy magis
trates to serve the various com
munities of the state.
The second bill gives cities en
forcement authority over sales tax
levies and provides penalties for
merchants delinquent in turning
over to the cities the sales tax
collections they have made.
Both bills go to the House for
further consideration.

Cambridge Saturday and won the
105th annual boat race. The mar
gin of victory was six lengths.
It was a smashing triumph for

of workouts last fall, but whipped
into an effective rowing machine
by the boat president Ronald
Howard this spring.
Oxford took the lead in the first
300 yards of the 4V4-mile row
down the London River Thames
and never gave up an inch of it.
Thousands of spectators lined the
banks. For the first time in many
years, neither crew listed an

Oxford was timed in 18 min
utes, 52 seconds. Cambridge’s time
was 19:10.

Maritime Security Risks
Cannot Recover Wages
Lost By Govt. Action
SAN FRANCISCO, UP) — A U. S.
District Court ruling last week
said maritime workers, who were
screened out as security risks dur
ing the Korean war, cannot recov
er lost wages from the govern
ment.
A suit, filed in 1957, was
brought by only 10 workers, but
the plaintiff’s attorneys estimated
the decision would affect possibly
2,000 workers on the nation’s sea
boards. The government’s total lia
bility might have been as high as
1 Vi million dollars.
The suit was filed after a 1955
ruling by the U. S. Court of Ap
peals that the Coast Guard sys
tem of screening maritime work
ers for security risks was uncon
stitutional.
