Tax Increase "
On Salmon,
Crabs Sought
ASTORIA, Nov. lO.-GffV-The
1943 session of the Oregon legis
lature will be asked to double the
tax on commercially-caught fall
run salmon and to increase ' the
tax on crabs, the state fish com
mission decided Tuesday. I
At a meeting , with . Columbia
river and coastal fishermen , and
packers, the commission agreed to
ask that the tax on salmon caught
between August 11 and Septem
ber 30 be raised to the pre-de-pression
level of a half -cent a
pound. In recent" years the tax
has been one-quarter cent.
There was no objection!! to the
decision of the commission, which
estimated that this tax in! a nor
mal year would yield - between
$12,000 and $15,000. j
There was also agreement on
the commission's proposal! to ask
that the tax on crabs be boosted
above the present level of IS
cents- a gross. The commission
made no recommendation as to
what the new tax should be. ;
The commission schedule called
for consideration of a higher tax
on . alba core tuna which now is
levied at only 50 cents a ton de
spite rocketing prices to fishermen
that caused the government to
clamp on a ceiling price of $398
a ton. -
The present tuna tax is com
parable to that on other offshore
fish which bring much lower
prices, the commission explained,
adding that Washington and Cali
fornia are considering a tuna tax
of $3 a ton. r
The commission also discussed
obtaining authority for itself to
regulate the industry to the ex
tent exercised by the state game
commission and the fish idepart-
ments of California and Washing
ton in their respective fields.

WASHINGTON, N o v. 11HJP)
President Roosevelt, asserting that
something must be done about the
manpower situation in the next
two or three weeks, disclosed
Tuesday that the fighting forces
wUl number about 9,700,000 men
by the end of 1943. .
Between now and that time, he
said at a press conference, the na
tion must flncLfour or five million
more men the best young man
hoodfor, the services, f Simul
taneously,' he added, it must find
men to take care of the food prob
lem and : industrial i production,
which Is still short of Its1 peak. 4
His statement came in response
to a question whether he favored
transferring the -selective service
system to the war manpower com
mission, as recommended by a
management-labor policy commit
tee of WMC It was, he said,' all
part of the manpower question.
He had been devoting a lot of
time to that problem. There was
no immediate emergency, ' but
something must be done In two or
three weeks. f, . -'
As for the armed forces, there
were now, he said, about 4,500,000
In the army, which must be in
creased to about 7,500,000 by Jan
uary 1, 1944. Meanwhile, the
navy's present 1,000,000 must
grow to 1,500,000, and the ma
rine corps and coast guard must
be increased from 400,000 to 700,1

The manpower commission's
management-labor policy com
mittee had earlier issued a report
favoring a voluntary, instead of
compulsory, system of obtaining
men for the factories and farms,
and there were ' indications that
the administration was in agree

manpower question over with
democratic congressional leaders.
as part of a general discussion nf
