Willard, r gional OCR head The shipment, which will meet the minimum requirements of the Territory, is being shipped immed- ly, Willa said. When it ar- rives Puget Sound port, it will forw d north on the first and will be flown into the In- or The entire requirement of 17.000,000 rour including 3,000, 00 rounds of .22 longs, will be de- livered by April 15th Civiban Necessity nged for the ammu- during a recent trip o gton, D. C. Previously, the officcs of WPB had con- all the dealers serving the erritory and obtained from them their estlmated requirements in meeting a shortage that has stead- ily become worse since the outhreak of the war. “We pointed out that ammunition was a basic civilian necessity for Alaska,” Willard said. “In the West it is needed to keep down predatory animals and birds, buc mn Alaska it was necessary in order to provide the civilian food supply and protection, plus commerciai fishing. Once we made the short- age clear, Alaskan supplies were given a top priority and ere being rushed through.” A recent survey of farm needs throughout the nation by OCR re- vealed that lack of ammunition for livestock and crop protection was first in the list of farmers’ com= plaints against wartime restrictions. Situation Remedied Immediate steps were taken to remedy the situation. Ammunition in the process of manufacture for the first quarter of the year is ex- pected to total 120,000,000 shotgun shells, 20,000,000 centerfire rifle cartridges and 200,000,000 22 calibre long-rifle cartridges. Production is now being increased to a point where it is expected that 251,000, 000 shotgun shells, 30,000,000 cente fire and 475,000,000 .22 calibre cart- ridges will be in manufacture by July 1. Production at this rate will rep- resent 95 percent of a normal year’s production of center-fire, 55 per- cent of shotgun and 25 percent of -22 calibre ammunition, Willard ex- plained “Deliveries in volume cannot be expected for the miost part of the country until May. Sufficient am- munition for game shooting is ex- pected by fall, but there will be none for amusement purposes, Willard said Aside from essential shipments like those to Alaska, the fusure of the program depends upon the con- tinued use of manufacturing facil- ities recently released by the Army.

Ickes announced The tests will be made in waters off California as soon as certain security regulations can be com- plied with The echo-sounding devices now a part of the equipment of Navy patrol vessels are believed to be the finest in the world. Present devices are regarded as infinitely uperior to those in use just before the war. Tests of echo-sounding devices in locating schools of herring were be- gun by the British in the North Sea just prior to the war. Similar tests made in waters off British Colum- bia during the past fall gave prom- ising results. The series of tests planned for the west coast will be first experiment in American of this type. or depth-sounders, are now modern f{ishing d to locate , certain vessels but the; bettom.
