PRSI T 1 D CONSTRUCTION OF FISHING VESSELS 15 NOW CALLED OFF WASHINGTON, July 25. — The Office of the Coordinator of Fish- eries announces that, with few ex- ceptions, it will not approve ap- plications for priorities for the con- struction of any additional fishing vessels during the remainder of the year. £ Construction of fishing vessels during the first half of the year has been so accelerated, Dr. Ira N. Gab- rielson, Deputy Coordinator, that the materials originally esti- mated for the entire year of 1944 have been greatly depleted. Action now is necessary, he said, to keep new in that 8ation and punishment whe Crimes, reorganization of political said, | THE DAILY ALASKA EMP lthv vessel construction program at! | the level approved by the War Pgo- | duction Board. i since materials were made avail- | able by the War Production Board |a year ago, OCF has recommended | priorities for the construction “of | 11,029 vessels. “When vessels now under con- struction or approval have been | completed,” Dr. Gabrielson. said, | |“and with the addtion of requisi- tioned vessels which are now being \returned by the Navy in increasing | numbers, the U. S. fishing fleet will | be substantially at its pre-war size, |although there will be a deficit in | | certain categories of vessels.” | The Office of the Coordinatar of | Fisheries will not apply to WPB for | authorization of additional mater- ials beyond that already program- med for the rest of the year, the Deputy Coordinator said, for the reason that manpower shortages, lack of shore facilities, and inade- quate refreigeration are already act- ing as brakes upon the production of the fisheries in many areas. In four categories applications will still be considered. They are: (1) Applications that have already been submitted to the Office of the Coordinator of Fisheries, but have not yet been acted on; (2) Requests for increase in prev- ' ious allotments; (3) Bona fide emergency or hard- ship cases, such as the loss (not sale) of a boat which is the owner’s | means of livelihood; (4) Applications that are intend- ed to authorize a production sched- ule and preference rating only, without allotment of materials, or small projects of the “backyard” type where the owner does his own building, and little or no material allotment is required. — .- POST-WAR PEACE 0UT, CHUNGKING CHUNGKING, July 25. — The proposal by Chinese People’'s For- eign Relations Association for the post-war world peace has been pub- lished in a pamphlet prepared by .32 well-known experts and profes- sors. The pamphlet is being divid- ed into five chapters, touching al- most all aspects of establishing 2 post-war world peace. A peace conference is urged to be convoked within six months or one year after the conclusion of war. The United States is sug- gested as most suitable place for the conference. Regarding the disposition of ag- gressor nations, the main emphasis is placed on disarmament, investi- of war in the aggressor nation, restoration of territorial sover- eignty and reparations paid to certain United Nations. Long peri-| @d of education for conversion of enemies” minds to peace after the |Axis’ defeat is also urged. | Regarding reparation, all public property and public enterprises taken by the Japanese from China | should be returned and Japanese | public property and enterprises in |China to be held as guarantee. If not sufficient, Japanese machinery {from industries in Japan should make up the Chinese losses. | Losses suffered by Chinese civil-| lians in private property should be compensated with Japanese pri-| vate property and enterprises in China. ‘If not sufficient, machin- | {ery from privately owned industries in Japan should be taken as guar-| {antee. | ‘AP PHOTOGRAPHER IS KILLED TODAY IN 'NORMANDY ACTION LONDON, July 25.—Bede Irvin, Associated Press War Photographer, was killed in action in Normandy today, the Ninth Air Force Head- quarters announces.
