L' f N ALASKA FISHING | 13 THREATENED JAPANESE FLEET Bell Says Unregulated Nip-| pon Operations Hurting Territory’s Industry SEATTLE, Oct. 28. — Fisher | |l Commissioner Frank T. Bell said " | here today that || men, working sampans off six big I floating cannerics, caught salmon _! outside the three-mile limit in Bris- \ tol Bay the past summer and that their unregulated operations threat- “en extinction of Alaska salmon I canning. Fisheries authorities re- | cently made similar complaints, but |§ the Commissioner made the first detailed account of the operations. § Bell said Japanese cannery ves- @ sels up to 15000 tons, the largest [# carrying a crew of 600, took salmon in the open sea although ostensil § lishing for crabs. The rich Bri tol Bay fishing area is so large at the mouth that it is under inter-| [§ national-law and not under juris- diction of the United States beyond | the three-mile limit. “Nobody knows how much salmon fishing the Japanese did but they had opportunity for studying the [§ channels down which the salmon run,” the Commissioner said. J some other ships kept lookouts in - the masts, making it easy to de- termine the sections where the run is toward the coast. “If Japanese fishing reaches the proportions it could, all regulations | and restrictions the United States has imposed would go for naught. [§ Although under our present rigid [} control of the salmon run the ten million dollar industry can continue indefinite] NEWS DOUGLAS LADIES AUXILIARY WILL HAVE HARD TIMES DANCE Next Saturday nigiut will be the big dance event for Douglas, a Hal- lowe'en “Hard-Time" ball in the Eagles' Hall, given by the Ladies' Auxiliary, FO.E.

Too, it seems likely at this stage |that the World War veleran mem- bership also will be increased. Veterans' organization officials look forward from now on to a steady increase in veteran mem- bership in Congress. O©ivil War experience guides their estimates.| There were 124 World War veterans lin the House last session, which a drop from 130 in 1934. NEW BLOOD Last session 16 Senators were World War veterans. Terms of wonly two expired, and one of them, Senator Russell of Georgia, al- ready is assured of returning. Sen- | |ator Benson of Minnesota is run- ning for the Governorship. To replace this one loss is the assured election of Claude Pepper of Florida, 36-year-old veteran, un- opposed as Democratic nominee. In |addition, Rep. Joh Lee, 44, of O- lahoma, a veteran, is Democratic Senatorial nominee in that usually Democratic State. Other young bloods seeking Sen- | ate rank include: | Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., 34, Mas- | | sachusetts Republican. | The two major party contenders lin Michigan, former Governor Wil- ber M.

Warrenton once worshipped at the” | shrine of Wallis Warfield Simpson. | She was then Wallis Warfield Spen- cer, who had come to live here in 1926 and 1927 to get a divorce from her first husband, Lt. Winfield Spencer. She had scarcely registered for {a small suite at the old, red-brick | Warren-Greene hotel when word went out that the town was richer by one very fetching lady. Dinner and dance invitations flowed to the hotel. After all, the stranger was of Virginia on her mother’s side, and a Warfield, of E | Maryland, on her father’s side. And | ancestral lines mean everything here where the horse loving gentry of the South has collected to hunt for generations. They All Liked Her Mrs. Simpson seems to have lived up to her promise. She was here two years and e the gray-haired | rocking-chair brigade, which can be relied upon to get out hammer and tongs, still gives Mrs. Simpson its royal approval with, “Wallis was such a dear girl.” From the bootblack at the hotel to the dowagers of Virginia estates, the first reaction to Mrs. Simp- son’s name is always —she had per- sonality.” But try to make them concrete. TWey can’t put her charm into words. She had an indefinable way of warming the heart and bringing a laugh. She was witty, but she didn’t tell the current funny story. She was charming but she wasn't a sugary flatterer. She had more beaus. than she could wish. But one cocktail was her limit, and she liked to get home at a discreet hour. She was the belle of the town. She didn't dress elaborately. She wore tailored clothes. Her formal dresses were simple things, and she avoided flowers and jewelry. She had a medium figure, a small foot and a bright smile. She had the typical low voice of the well-bred Southerner. She seemed very much alive, Banker Paid Court Her most faithful escort of those two years was Hugh A. Spillman, a handsome, blond, curly-haired ban- ker, who had known her in child- hood when they both attended pri- vate schools in Baltimore.
