Shrimpers Complain That
Imports Hurt U.S. Industry
WASHINGTON, (UP) — The do
mestic shrimp industdy said Fri
day in a brief filed with the Tariff
Commission that expanding im
ports could virtually eliminate
commercial shrimp fishing in the
United States by 1956.
A continuation of the present
trend also could cause a shift of
processing operations to foreign
countries, the brief said.
The domestic industry supports
a proposed tariff quota system
that provides for an orderly in
crease in imports.
The commission conducted a
three-day hearing last month on
the effect of multiplying imports
of the nation’s shrimp industry.
It is to report its findings by
May 9 to the House Ways and
Means Committee. The committee
is considering the proposed quota
legislation.
The brief was filed by the Na
tional Shrimp Congress, Inc., the
Gulf Shrimp Canners Assn., and
the National Shrimp Breeders
Assn.

Civil Rights Gets
Past U.S. Senate
WASHINGTON, UP! — The Civil
Rights bill was back on the
House’s doorstep Saturday after
being passed by the Senate 71-18.
House leaders of both parties
are expected to urge the House
to accept the changes made by the
Senate in the embattled measure,
none of which substantially al
tered its basic provisions.
This would speed final action
by avoiding the necessity of hav
ing to set up a Senate-House con
ference committee to compromise
the differences.
But even if the House does con
cur in the Senate amendments, the
outlook is that this will not be
done until some time after Easter.
In all probability the measure
will have to run the gauntlet of
the House Rules Committee,
headed by Rep. Howard Smith <D
Va), a longtime foe of civil rights
measures.
Passage of the bill by the Sen
ate Friday night climaxes a batlte
that began Feb. 15 and included
more than a week of sessions
around the clock.
The House had passed its bill
311-109 on March 24.
The measure embodies most, but
not all, of President Eisenhower’s
civil rights proposals, although not
exactly as he recommended them.
Its principal feature is provi
sion for the federal courts to regis
ter qualified Negroes and enforce
their voting rights in areas where
judges find systematic discrimina
tion to keep them from the polls.
Another section requires rec
ords of all elections for federal
officials to be preserved for 22
months and made available to the
Attorney General for inspection
on demand.
The bill also provides criminal
penalties for obstructing by force
or threats any federal court or
ders, including those calling for
the desegregation of public
schools, and for fleeing across
state lines to avoid prosecution for
bombing schools, churches, or
other buildings.
Another section permits the
federal government to provide
schooling for children of members
of the armed forces in areas where
the local public schools are closed
by disputes over racial integra
tion.
House Hearings Will
Consider Transfer of Navy
Pertoleum Reserves
WASHINGTON, UPi—Rep. Ralph
Rivers said Saturday hearings will
be held on his bill to transfer
jurisdiction over Naval Pertoleum
Reserve No. 4 from the Navy to
the Interior Department.
'Rivers said the hearings will be
held by the House Armed Services
Committee and that no date has
been set.
The jurisdictional transfer, fa
vored by the Department of De
fense, would put the reserve in
northern Alaska under provisions
of the Mineral Leasing Act, there
by opening the area for oil and
gas leasing development.

Hollywood Actors
Return to Work
With New Contract
HOLLYWOOD, tW—The actors’
strike is over and the back-to
work call is out for Bing Crosby
and Marilyn Monroe, along with
other stars and about 6,000 mem
bers of the production crews.
After several suspensful periods
when agreement had seemed near,
Hollywood’s first strike by actors
ended Friday in its 33rd day. Ne
gotiators for the Screen Actors
Guild and the Assn, of Motion Pic
ture Producers announced they
had come to terms on a new three
year contract.
The contract agreed on will give
motion picture actors their first
pension plan — plus a share in
proceeds from sale to television
of films made after last Jan. 31.
The actors accepted the pen
sion plan instead of insisting on a
share of teleision profits on films
made between 1948 and 1960. The
agreement means major studios
can release films from the 12-year
period without further payment
to actors.
Both sides in the strike claimed
to have achieved a favorable set
tlement. In addition to a pension
plan, it also provides actors with
a health and welfare fund. A pay
raise of about 10 per cent goes
to actors in the minimum-earning
categories.
The formula for post-1960 film
sales to television gives actors 6
per cent of the producer’s receipts,
less a percentage for distribution
expenses.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The Biela comet furnishes the
best example of comet disintegra
tion. This comet, which was dis
covered in 1826, returned in its
orbit every 6.6 years.
In 1846, it was noticed to be
considerably more elongated than
usual, and a month later it had
separated into two comets, each
developing a tail of its own. Be
fore long these twin comets had
become separated by 200,000
miles.
On its next return, in 1852, the
two halves of Biela appeared for
the second time, with the distance
between them increased to 1,500,
000 miles. Once again they flew
around the sun, but it was a fare
well tour, for one streak of light
followed the other out into space,
grew fainter and fainter, and
finally disappeared, never to be
seen again. However, every year
on November 27th we run into
the meteors of this comet.
Atoms of uranium are the
heaviest of those found in nature.
