PAGE EIGHT FISH IMPORTS T0 HIT INDUSTRY HERE, Alaska halibut fishermen will have their income cut in two this year as the result of the importing of vitamin oils from foreign coun- tries, according to an estimation made by Kirk Jones, vice-president of the Washington Laboratories. The representative of the vita- min-producing Seattle compuany spoke at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel today. “Over 400 million pounds of fish were imported last year while Amer- ican boats lay idle at their ports,” he said. The importing of fish liver oils from Japan and South Alrica has knocked the Pacific Coast out of the leading position as producer of Vitamin A, he declared. Prices paid fishermen for halibut livers and viscera will take a 50 to 85 percent drop. this year, Jones estimated. Prices paid for halibut livers by Jones' company last year averaged $2 per pound; viscera brought 52 cents per pound. In the past Alaska halibut fish- ermen have derived hau of their income from selling the liver and viscera of the halibut they caught, but many of the fishermen are not going to bother with the livers this season, he said. He based his state- ment on opinions he heard at meet- ing with ialibut vessel owners and deep-sea fishermen. Much to Losc “The Cerritnry of Alasks4 has a great deal tn lose from the impor- tation of fich liver oils and fish,” he said. “We can’t compete under our standards of living with those cheaply produced produ:ts.” Jones 1sked for the Chamber's help in a move to control the im- portation of the foreign products. The Pacific Coast, which formerly produced 65 percent of the world’s yvitamin A supply is now producing only 12 percent. “And the situation isn't improv- ing,” he said. Asks For Help Although he asked for the help of the Chamber in establishing tarifls and a quota-system to protect the American fisheries industries from the cheap foreign products, Cham- ber President Robert Boochever said no action could be taken until the lpcal industries committee had given the matter serious study. Jones will meet with the commit- tee Saturday noon. The minutes of the executive bourd revealed that the manager of the Juneau Dairies, Inc., had described to the board the “disrup- tive” influence of the sale of Ca- nadian milk is having on the local industry. The matter was referred to the local industries committee and a report will be made to the Chamber at its next meeting. The Chamber’s aviation commit- tee was assigned to look into the proposed withdrawal of the Civil Aerdnautics Authority airfield con- trol ‘staff from the Juneau airport. The withdrawal has been rumored. Visitors at today’s meeting ins cluded Dory Scudder and Axel Carl- son of Ketchikan, Willlam Olson of Anchorage, Steve Homer of Haines, and Larry Fitzpatrick, Edwin C. Johnson, Ted Oberman and John R. Winther of Juneau. Acheson is in Bad With High-up Demos (By Associated Press) A high-ranking Democrat has voiced concern over the relations between the State Department and Congressional leaders. He said Sec- retary of State Dean Acheson has remained aloof, asking the top men in Congress neither for advice nor counsel. That’s one reason, Senator said, that Democrats have not rallied to defend Acheson against Republican attacks. - - work refreshed Lundities the | Growler, Big Wheel Meel For Friday Mounting excitement alty lists are both adding riotous evening of entertainment Friday night when the Lion’s Club Growlers meet the Rotary Club Big Wheel in what is loosely referred to as a “championship” basketball game.

BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY JUNEAU COLD STORAGE COMPANY © 1950, The Cace-Cola Compamy up to| have voted against the employment : BIG ARTS, CRAFTS SHOW WILL OPEN FRIDAY, 3 DAYS Exhibits Must Be af lks| Hall Tonight So Display May Be Arranged All local artists and craftsmen are asked to be on hand at the Elks’ Hall tonight between 7 and 9 o’clock | to enter their exhibits for the 6th | Annual Creative Arts and Crafts Exhibit which will open at 2 pm.| Friday for a 3-day run. Mrs. William Paul, Sr.,, and her, committee consisting of Vance! Blackwell, Edythe Walker and George Rogers will be on hand to arrange the displays. Mrs. B. D. Stewart will receive -and register all | entries. Indications are that this year's| show will include types of ari not seen before in Juneau exhikits. These include “Intollubes.” In case you don’t know what Intollubes are, they are art pieces created from odd and interesting roots and driftwood. They are named for Earl Intollube of the Alaska Native Service who introduced the art to Wrangell sev- eral years ago. Sterling Sears, Supt. of Juneau | Schools, will exhibit carved and turned alabaster creations he made from alabaster he mined himself. This should be most instructive since there are known alabaster deposits near Juneau capable of supplying material for this new craft. Due to a typographical error in Tuesday’s story concerning the Photo Department exhibit the im- portant word ‘no” was omitted | from a sentence, reversing its mean in. The sentence should have read: “There are no restrictions as to the size or number of pictures a per- son may enter.” This year the pho- tography exhibit is limited to non-; professionals in the hope that more amateurs will display. If this does not have the desired effect, the show next year will again be opened to professional photographers as well. Out-of-town exhibjts already re- ceived include drawings, textile paintings and work in wood, ivory | and balleen. In the exhibit from Mt. Edgecumbe School are a number | of pieces that will go on sale at the conclusion of the exhibit. These include drawings by the Eskimo artist, Wilbur Walluk. 19 ARRIVE, 9 LEAVE VIA PAN AMERICAN Nineteen passengers arrived yes- terday via Pan American World Air- ways which carried nine persons on the southbound ilight.
