Leslie Howard desired to star in “Of Human Bondage,” and W. Som- erset Maugham wanted a player of Howard's fine histrionic calibre to play in his story.

Claim Ample Supply Both Mr. Imiach and Mr. Floe told the committee they found mo evidence of the supply of herring diminishing. Herring, Imlach said, move from place to place and “they are where you find them.” He said his ex- perience in the British Isles, Ca: ada and Alaska had convinced him herring are nct always found in the same place. In pointing out that taking of herring is an aid to the salmon industry, he asserted that the herring’s only defense is in numbers and that galmon would be exterminated if they ran into large schools of her- ring becauze the latter smother them. He argued that if the herring were taken for salteries only a large waste would exist because many caught are not the proper| size for the salteries. It is these emaller ones that go into the her- ring reduction plants to be made into meal and oil. Were there no plants, he contended, the small fish would have to be thrown back and thus polute the water. Mr. Floe also stated he had found no depletion of herring but that supplies varied from year to year | in various places. Challenges Statements Challenging the statements of the herring men, Representative Walker declared that fishermen who actually do the fishing had failed to find herring. “Our bays and inland waters are most certainly depleted,” he said. “Sure, there may be lots of them out at sea. I don't know, but I do know that our fishermen are| being deprived of a living because these plants are draining the her- ring supply. On the Atlantic coast the herring plants are dropping in decay because the supply there has been depleted and fishermen have had to resort to taking care of a few tourists or something to make a living. I tell you gentle- men, it is a question of whether we want our people to get in that condition. If you want our fish- ermen to fold up their nets and starg taking in tourists all well and good but I don't think so. | | | < A the | ! Family quuor Departnient CAUFUR\!
