PAGE EIGHT HALIBUT . HEARING THIS P.M. Six International Fisheries Com- mission members this afternoon are to hear testimony by Juneau fish- ermen and cold storage plant op- erators on their views of the pro- posed split season for fishing hali- but. The hearing is in the Senate chambers in the Federal Building. With the commission members were four advisors. The Juneau hearing concludes hearings which have taken place in Seattle, Van- couver, Prince Rupert, Ketchikan and Petersburg. On the basis of their findings, a decision will be issued proba:ly sometime this fall. The split season allows halibut fishing ten days each month, with 20 days closed. Other proposals are to open one area only at a time, to begin fishing in April or even February with one trip per month allowed per boat, and to allow a few million pounds to be taken early or late without changing pre- sent seasons. Five definite proposals other than the 10 and 20 day periods were offered by the commission in Ket- chikan and were to be brought out here. ‘They are: 1. Reopen Area 2 after Area 3 closes, allowing a few million pounds to be taken in July; 2. Reopen in local regions in one or both areas where warranted; 3. Open Area a morth or more, then open Area 2: 4. Open Area 2 in May of one year and later the next year, to catch early fish one season and late fish the next; 5. Without ma- terially changing present seasons, allow a few million more pounds to be taken. Commission mem:ers are: George W. Nickerson, Prince Ru- pert, chairman; Milton C. Jones, Washington, D.C., secretary; H. A. Dunlop, director of investigation F. Howard Ball, assistant direc- tor; George R. Clark, Ottawa, and Edward W Allen, Seattle. Their advisors are: Dr. Wilbert M. Chapman, U.S Stdte Department; €. V. Ozere, Fisheries Department of Ottawa; Dr. John L. Hart, Department of Fisheries, Ottawa, and Donald L. Chaney of Washington, D.C.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE JUNEAU, ALASKA Equalify for All'ls Army ~ Program Now :0pporiunili;e.; fo Be Same for All Qualified Personnel WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—~4®—The Army is setting up a new program designed to give all its personnel equal treatment and opportunity, |regardless of race or color. | The plan was announced last night by Secretary of the Army Gray, with the approval of Secre- | tary of Defense Johnson. | The Navy and Air Force already have put similar programs into ef- ‘frc( in line with President Truman’s order to break down discrimination in the military forces. But a plan previously submitted by the Army had been turned down by Johnson. Under the program disclosed by Gray the Army will not follow the lead of the other two services in scattering its negro persunnel| among white units. But, Gray said, “Qualified ne- groes, including those in existing units, will have the opportunity to; bus. (P Wirephoto. learn those skills previously un-{—— available to them. Hereafter, nc-l groes who acquire skills will be ns-’ signed to positions where their | | | MASS FORCES i specialties may be applied in the | A bus, two trucks loaded with lumber, and 10 automcbiles were involved in a series of crashes on the Golden Gate Bridge (Sept. 29) in a heavy fog.

ON MONDAY Pilot models created by William Spratling to be used in future pro-| grams for Alaska natives' arts and crafts go on display Monday in the Alaska Electric Light and Power Co. window for one week. Indian and Eskimo designs are used in the making of earrings, cuff links, rings, buttons, brace- lets, necklaces, ash trays, belt | buckles, pendants, lockets, crosses, candle sticks, cups, goblets, serv- i ing spoons and bells from Alaska raw materials. Materials used in the articles are gold, ivory—both walrus and mam- moth, jade, baleen—black whale bone, and abalone. Polished workmanship is shown in the making of the articles. The stem of one silver goblet was a carved ivory fist. One paper weight had a whale tail of the Moby Dick pattern carved from mam- moth ivory and mounted on Ko- buk jade and heavy silver. The Alaska Native Arts and Crafts shop of the Alaska Native Service acts as a clearing house for articles to retailers. Spratling has native craftsmen go to his school located on a large farm at Taxco, Mexico, to learn the handling of the materials. The craftsmen spend about six months |there and then return home to teach others. | BOOCHEVER KETURNS Robert Boochever, of the law firm*of Faulkner, Banfield and Boochever, returned yesterday via Pan American Airways, after a month of combined business and pleasure in the states.
