Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. On
March 12, 1912, Juliette Gordon
Low started the first troop in
Savannah, Ga. Within three years

of their organization.
Urges International
Agreement To Abstain
From Deep Sea Fishing
WASHINGTON, UPi—Rep. Pelly
fR-Wash) today asked Congress
to pass a resolution urging an in
ternational agreement to abstain
from fishing on the high seas in
a manner to deplete stocks of fish
which spawn in another natidn.
“The abstention principle which
is recommended is the only safe
guard against complete destruc
tion of certain Alaska and Pacific
Northwest salmon resources,” he
told the House.
Obviously, treaties are the only
solution to fishery problems be
tween neighboring nations and
other nations which concern joint
fishery interests.”
The Seattle congressman intro
duced a resolution which would
declare it to be the sense of Con
gress that such an agreement
should be sought by the U.S. dele
gation to the United Nations con
ference on the Law of the Sea,
now meeting in Geneva.

Bears Portrait Of
Henry W. Longfellow
LONDON, UPi — Russia has is
sued a new stamp bearing a por
trait of American poet Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow. Moscow
radio made the announcement to
day.
The Soviet government fre
quently singles out heroes of
Western classical literature for
special honors. Other Americans
who have been honored include
poet Walt Whitman and Mark
Twain. The object of this atten
tion to Western writers and art
ists is to push a Soviet cultural
offensive aimed at impressing in
tellectual elements in the West.
