Such was the report received here | today when Clarence Olson, Fisl\-} eries Management Supervisor of the | Fisheries Division of the Fish and wildlife Service, returned after a five-day trip by boat and plane to | check up on the salmon run. Olson ' left again today with Ray Ren-| | shaw, pilot for the Fish and Wild- | |life Service, on another scouting | trip to western and eastern dis- | tricts, The pink run in Clarence Straits |is improving favorably and the| Sumner Straits run is continuing, | heavily, it was reported. The run| in the southern. district, south of| | Ketchikan, fell off generally about 110 days ago and is recovering | slowly. Fishing season in this dis- | trict closes at 6 pm. today, how-| ever. Olson spent two days in Ket- |chikan during his trip and ob- | served the run in waters south of {the First City. | e SITKA 1S HEAVY| | oOn two flights to the Coast, Al-| !aska Coastal Airlines pilots carried | | ten passengers to Sitka and are | scheduled to return with nine.

These men would have the privilege of open hearings, but they would have to disprove evidence assembled against them by the Army and Navy intelligence services and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As an example of how some| members, of Congress feel about] “do not believe,” | versive it, let’s quote Ramspeck again. "I} he said, “it is n the interest of labor or anybody else in this country to have sub-| individuals holding mem- berships in labor unmions and in position to do damage to the wel- | fare and safety of the United States of America and its mer- chant marine.” Voorhis contributed this: “It has been my view all along that the kind of legislation that should be brought in the House is legislation that would attempt in a very care- ful and discriminating manner to separate the great rank and file of American labor from those ele- ments that really make for trouble for the labor movement itself.” This may be only a straw in the wind, but insiders on Capitol Hill think it might also be a good- sized hunk of timber in building a foundation for a labor movement completely free of “fifth colum- nists.” If this measure goes through the Senate without any serious blasts of opposition, the seamen may be next—and after that other la-| bor groups involved in national defense. It may be that the “enemy of democracy” boys in the labor camps are in for a bit of legis- lated trouble.
