Black cod and red cod are a dri n the market, he said, with stocks left over from last year almost unsale- able at any price. However, the halibut situation looks favorable, largely because no ttle boats have been out yet this season. Halibut prices in Juneau were taking another rise this after- noon, he revealed.

This would mean the creation of two nations, each among the largest in the world in population. But in resources, it meant the creation of one relatively powerful nation com- posed mostly of Hindus and one far less powerful nation containing the vast bulk of the Moslem population of India Leaders of both major political factions had yet to submit their agreements to their huge party memberships for approval. But the leadership of both the All-India National Congress Party and the Moslem League has been so powerful in recent years that all recommen- dations have been approved with little difficulty. | - FISHING NEWS Halibut prices in Juneau took a one cent jump upwards today, as six craft sold 78,500 pounds for VIS ITOR — Former Greek Foreign Minister Jean Sofianop- oulos is shown in New York plane.
