WSH[NGTON—OM of the most carefully guarded secrets of the war was the fact that Japan was floating balloons across the Pacific Ocean to Oregon, Washington and even as far east as Illinols and Texas. : U. S. censors gave strict orders to suppress all news of these bal- loons; and even when an Oregon family climbed into a tree to ex- amine a ballodri’and was blown to bits, censors suppressed the infor- mation. Reason for the strict censorship was that American commanders didn’t want the Japs to know how successful their balloon campaign was. If the Japs realized their balloons were getting across, it was believed they would launch many more thousands. After the war ended, cross-exam- ination of the Jap military revealed that 60,000 of these balloons had been launched from the Kurile Is- lands and Formosa. They crossed the Pacific at an altitude of about 17,000 feet at a speed of over 100 (Continued on Page Four) ka; a past master Masonic lodge, and a member Of Nile Temple Shrine, Seattle; a member of the Explorers’ Club of New York; Secretary of Lomen Reindeer Corp., and President ot Lomen Commercial Co.

CONTROL HERE All Public Lands Granfed New State But Fisheries Stay Under Government Regulation and control of com- mercial fisheries would remain in- vested with the federal government if Alaska becomes a state under the rewritten statehood bill turned out by the Senate committee on In- terior and Insular Affairs. ‘The only copy of the new bill tc have reached the Territory so far is in possession of Alaska Senator Howard Lyng, Nome mining mar and Democratic National Commit- teeman, who arrived in Juneau this week aboard the steamer Baranof Senator Lyng attended the Senate hearings last month in Washing- ton in his capacity as a member of the Alaska Statehood Committee ‘When he left Washington witk other Alaskans who had testified or the bill, committee members prom- ised to come up with a revised ver- sion of HR 331, which was under severe fire by representatives ol the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc.

New Bill Arrives The new bill arrived by air mail today, addressed to the longtime member of the Alaska Legislature Portions of the bill passed by the House which have been revised are struck out, and substituted by itali- cized paragraphs which apparently meet with the approval of those who opposed the original bill. In fact, the new version seems tagged, canned and labeled by Seat- tle opponents of the original. They had opposed the original as not giving enough land to the new state —only four sections of each town- ship The new bill provides: “ .. all real property within the State of Alaska to which the Unitec States now has title, including pub- lic lands, is hereby granted to the { said state to be used or disposed oi as the legislature thereof shall pro- vide. . . This excludes oil reserves, anc other federal reservations already in existence. 01d and New However, where the old bil granted jurisdiction of fisheries to the new State of Alaska, “with the same control as are possessed and exercised by the several states within their respective limits, in- cluding adjacent waters,” the new bill specifically exempts commer- cial fisheries from state control. This is the way the new section reads: “. . . that except in respect to fur seals, sea otter, migratory sirds, commercial fisheries, and the areas heretofore designated for adminis* tration by the Secretary of the In- terior for the protection of wild- life, the State of Alaska shall possess and exercise the same jurisdiction and control over the fisheries and the fur and game of Alaska as are possessed by the several states...” While Senator Lyng didn’t com- ment extensively on the new inser- tions in the revised bill, it was ob- vious he wasn’t pleased with the new fisheries regulation. Concering passage of the measure during this session of Congress, he said that “it looks like a 50-50 pro- position to me.” “But chances appear somewhat better than they did when we (85 Alaskans) left Washington on the chartered Alaska Airlines plane for Seattle, Juneau and Anchorage. “Since our departure from home the Senate committee has written practically a new bill . . .” Senator Lyng, now stopping at the Baranof Hotel, leaves here Sat- urday for Fairbanks and his head- quarters in Nome.

Pub- | lished as a public service by Air Transport Associates, Inc. Heacock said a few travel agencies started the war. These agencies, he said, began carrying out threats to bring in shoremen’s Union to a group of ler. wing cannery workers in Alaska, and Nashoalook persuaded his na- tives to vote seven hundred to foui to join Bridges' new Local 7-C. Friends at Bethel blamed Joe Jurich, regional head of the IFAWA, {lor Joe's recommendation. A rep- resentative who wished to be anonymous was rushed to Seattle to try to show Joe the error of his ways. i On May 11 Joe announced he hac made a mistake and would advise his people to renounce their vote and join the Alaska Fishermen’s Union—a middle of the road group of ‘Alasiean fishermen and cannery workers. It was then that Joe was spiritec away. Two of his Bristol Bay friend: watched him as he left his room in a Seattle hotel to keep an appoint- ment with a reporter in the lobby. After finishing with the reporter, two young ladies approached the former Indian school teacher ana after engaging him in what was ap- parently pleasant conversation, eack took an arm and escorted him oul the door. Joe was known to have developed a weakness for fire watel during the past few years, and hic aircraft from Los Angeles, New York and Miami to haul construction men to Alaska instead of patronizing! Seattle-based non-scheduled air-' lines. He said the reason was be- cause the non-scheds recently re-! fused to boost flight ticket com- missions from 10 to 20 percent.

T. Hatten, whose law firm of Hat- ten and Caughlin defended a group of University of Washington in- structors accused of Communistic leanings. Returning to Bethel, Joe's triends instigated a series of telegrams tc signs, operating refrigeration units only from midnight to six am., and cooking on only one burner. Four pickets yesterday patrolled the main entrance to the F.E. plant.
