Hawaiian Delegate
Opposes Quinn In
Gubernatorial Tilt
HONOLULU, UR — Democrat
John A. Burns, a delegate to Con
gress, and Republican William F.
Quinn, Territorial Governor, have
entered the race to become the
first State Governor of Hawaii.
Burns filed his nomination pa
pers Wednesday after flying from
Washington on a surprise trip
which he had hoped would escape
newsmen’s notice.
He was met by newsmen at the
airport and \Vz hours later Quinn
greeted him and wished him luck
as Burns filed his papers at Iolani
Palace.
Quinn told reporters, “I think
Mr. Burns will be a very worthy
opponent.”
Burns, serving his second term
as non-voting Delegate to Con
gress, declared, “I believe I can
do the greatest good for the people
of Hawaii by serving as Governor,
if they will have me.”
Burns and Quinn probably will
be unopposed in the June 27 pri
mary and will contend for the
governership in the July 28 gen
eral election.

W. Germany, France
Urge Caution For Secret
Talks With Russia
GENEVA, UP) — West Germany
and France were reported today
to be putting the brakes on U7S.
British enthusiasm for a prompt
opening of secret talks with the
Soviet Union over the Berlin cri
sis and prospects for a summit
conference.
Some cautious moves were ap
parently going on in the Big Four
foreign ministers conference con
cerning the start of secret nego
tiations.
When these do take place they
will almost certainly determine
whether a summit conference will
be held this summer.
De Murville of France and von
Brentane of West Germany ap
peared less anxious to get quickly
into secret talks than their two
Wsetern colleagues.
They were said to be taking the
line with U.S. Secretary of State
Herter and Britain’s Foreign Min
ister Selwyn Lloyd that, since the
Soviet Union created the Berlin
crisis, the Soviets should take the
lead in finding a solution.
Couve De Murville and von
Brentane are not opposed to se
cret talks, diplomats said, but in
sist the Western allies must enter
into such discussions with the
greatest care. ^

Fisheries Bureau
Hunts Commercial
Use for Sea Lions
JUNEAU, UP) — A research pro
ject to learn whether Alaska’s es
timated 150,000 sea lions have any
commercial value was announced
here Wednesday.
The Federal Bureau of Com
mercial Fisheries said a $50,000
contract had been awarded Arctic
(Maid Fisheries to make a two
month study of the huge animals.
At present, says the bureau, the
sea lions have no known “worth
while use and their remote habi
tat makes observation and cap
ture difficult.”
The company’s freezer ship,
“Arctic Maid,” was scheduled to
leave Seattle this week for a two
month run off the rocky shores
near Kodiak Island and westward
along the Aleutian chain.
The vessel’s crew will conduct
experiments on methods of har
vesting sea lions and preparing
their carcasses for commercial use.
Possibilities to be tested in later
experiments include production
of meat and liver as mink food
on fur farms, hide tanning for
specialty leather work, and reduc
tion of remains for industrial meal
and oil.
The bureau said another goal of
the project was to develop ways
to reduce the population of the
animals.
The Alaska sea lions are much
larger than the more familiar va
riety that lives in California wa
ters. The male Alaska sea lions
weigh as much as a ton, and fe
males generally are half that size.
The bureau described the ani
mals as a costly nuisance to fish
ermen. The sea lions feed off hali
but and salmon caught in nets,
and mutilate fishing gear. Limited
studies so far, the bureau said,
have not borne out suspicions that
sea lions are serious predators of
free-swimming salmon at sea.
The bureau said a finding of
commercial uses for sea lions could
open up a new fishing industry
in the new state.
Years of Effort Required
For Alaska Oil Search,
Says Union Oil Executive
SEATTLE, MP> — The search lor
oil in Alaska is a long term pro
ject which may involve years of
effort, Reese Taylor, chairman of
the board of Union Oil Co., said
in Seattle yesterday.
Taylor pointed out that Union
is actively drilling on the Kenai
Peninsula and also is conducting
preliminary exploratory opera
tions in Alaska’s Copper River
Basin.
Union intends to continue its
northern search, Taylor said.
“We are conservative in our
approach to the Alaskan results
because we don’t think it is fair
to the public to be otherwise,” he
said.
