Byrnes’ statement that Russia had broken most of its postwar pacts, and most likely certain Russian of- ficlals were called on the carpet and asked to explain why a few pacts here and there have been left intact. “Three per cent ol the people have visual hal- i lucinations,” says a psychologist.

D. R. Johnson, W. M. Chap- man and R. W. Schoning, all of them among the nation’s top“fish biologists, and their studies are con- sidered accurate, impartial and highly informative. The studies began 10 years ago and have been especially intensive for the past four years. What these men discoveerd in the Oregon and Washington salmon fishery may have a good deal of bearing on the problem Alaska voters are asked to decide next Tuesday—whether or not the Territory should abolish its fixed gear, the salmon trap. The three scientists, after 16 years of study of the problem, reach the following conclusion, which is on page 32 of the pamphlet: “While there is little doubt that certain compon- ents of the Columbia River salmon populations, par- ticularly the spring chinook and blueback, are in dire need of protection, it is equally evident that the elimination of any one form of gear has not, and probably will not provide that protection. Fishery segulations designed to increase the escapement must sperate on all gear used to take salmon during their ‘entire life cycle in both fresh and salt water.” The scientists then the following sum- BIOLOGISTS STUDY FIXED GEAR i “Secret Weapon™ (Cincinnati Enauirer) Russia, by forcing the United States to supply Berlin by r, is contributing—unwittingly—to con- tinued American air supremacy.

But planes come sailing into German ports with visibility near zero. They do it, not by the instrument landing sys- tem widely used in this country, but by “ground controlled approach,” said to be more efficient and more practical. Planes are picked up, GCA, when 18 miles or more from the airport. They are watched by three GCA overators by means of radar. Each action of the pilot is directed by radio telephone. { The pilot need not See his runway at all. GCA has |brought in 850 successful landings during the past mary: !few months.
