West Coast Congressmen May Seek
Sanction of 12-Mile Jurisdictional Limit
Lamb, Seals, Sea
Horses Are Easter
Births At N. Y. Zoo
NEW YORK, UPi — A lamb
named Easter, six glum seal pups
and 250 to 300 sea horses—de
pending on how fast a keeper
counts—made their debuts here
yesterday.
Easter, an early morning ar
rival, took in stride her first day
on earth at the Children’s Zoo in
the Bronx. Her mother, May, a
black karakul, was around to pro
tect her and lead her to shelter;
when the rains came.
The seal pups, on display for
the first time at the aquarium in
Coney Island, cooed deceptively
and then chased a keeper off a i
temporary seal reservation. An- j
other attendant lost part of his
rain coat to one of the pup’s |
sharp teeth.
The seals came down yesterday i
from the marine biological lab
oratory on Magdalen Island in St.
Lawrence Bay. They are a gift
from the Canadian government.
Their pugnacious behavior led
Carleton Ray, an assistant to the
aquarium director, to examine
them. He soon was surrounded,
backed away and scaled a low
fence.
“I think,” he said, “they’ll get
friendly when they know us
better.”
Also at the aquarium, the sea
horses were lathered and moth
ered by a two-year-old gentle
man of coral and white stripes
who carries his young in a pouch
until nature tells him they are
ready. They swam about, and
mostly tried to avoid their father,
who, like all-sea horses, tends to
eat his offspring.

SEATTLE, UP) — West coast
congressmen may seek Congres
sional ratification of a 12-mile
jurisdictional proposal, fisheries
officials reported at a special
meeting.
The proposal, being considered
by an 80-nation international law
commission in Geneva, would
cripple the fishing industry by
cutting off hundreds of square
miles of productive waters, Day
ton L. Alverson of the State
Fisheries Department, told the
conference.
Alverson and George Johansen,
secretary of Alaska Fishermen’s
Union have been in Washington
conferring with Congressional del
egations of the affected areas.
« “I told the State Deportment
we wouldn’t tolerate giving away
our rights for diplomatic expedi
ency,” Johansen said.
The conference of fishermen
and industry leaders heard re
ports from Milo Moore, state
fisheries director, that not only
would valuable salmon areas be
lost under the new proposal, but
conservation and development
programs initiated by the coastal
states would be sacrificed.
Moore said the proposal would
force heavier concentration of
U. S. fishermen into areas al
ready fished to the maximum.
Johansen said he received as
surances from Congressional del
egates of both parties that they
would do their best to protect
rights of Northwest fishermen.

Man And Eight
Children Perish As
Fire Burns Home
JERSEY SHORE, Pa., UPl — Ten
members of a family, including
eight children, burned to death
early Saturday in an explosion
and fije which flashed through
their two story pine timber home.
A neighbor said he saw the
family of Torance Flook, 34-year
old truck driver, gathered at a
second story window during the
height of the blaze and tried to
set up a ladder.
“A bureau fell in front of the
window,” said Herman Seichrist.
“That’s the last we saw of them.”
The only occupant to escape
the Holocaust, was Flook’s wife,
who fled screaming out a back
back door, her hair a flaming
torch and her night clothes afire.
Fire chief Richard Edwards
said Flook’s charred body was
found holding two of his children
with the bodies of the other
youngsters huddled about him.
His mother-in-law, Mrs. Maude
Blair, 63, fell from a second floor
window. Two family pets, a
hound and a terrier also perished.
Fly Is Unscheduled
Star df Japanese
TV Salmon Commercial
TOKYO, UP) — The nightmare
that haunts every producer of
television food commercials hap
pened at radio Tokyo—a fly made
an unscheduled guest appearance.
The insect perched on an open
can of salmon just as the camera
focused on it lagt week for a
commercial. For five seconds
the fly feasted, and the cameras
transmitted its enjoyment to the
viewing audience.
The next day letters from view
ers flooded the network and the
sponsor of the program, a fishery
company. The general tone was
that the salmon wasn’t for hu
mans, it was for the flies. The
fish company was only placated
when the station gave it another
30-minute spot free. Normally
the time would have cost 300,000
yen ($833).
The well fed fly?? It escaped.
And radio Tokyo organized DDT
squad to stand by at all programs,
particulary those showing food.

Air Force Launches
Seventh Atlas ICBM
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., UP)—
The Air Force launched its
seventh atlas ICBM at 12 noon,
EST, Saturday.
The giant missile took off in
a cloud of white steam and great
flash of flame.
It rose majestically, slowly at
first and then swiftly, into heavy
scattered clouds about 10,000
feet above the launching site.
The missile, trailed by bright
yellow flame, disappeared into
the clouds 30 seconds after
launching, reappeared 5 seconds
later, still climbing vertically,
and thereafter was visible once
or twice momentarily.
However, the roar of its power -
• ful engines could be heard in the
launching area for two minutes.
The steady sound of the power
upward indicated that the mis
sile was performing satisfac
torily.
The Air Force did not indicate
the nature of, today’s test.
It was believed to involve
testing of propulsion and guid
ance equipment.
