20 Tons of Eels Taken
From Willamette Traps
OREGON CITY, June
Twenty tons of eels have been
taken from traps in the Willam
ette river here, and T. L. Critch-
low and his crew expect to get
50 tons more before the annual
run ends.
Riverside residents welcome
the eel-catchers, who save them
the trouble of raking beaches daily
for dead eels. The eels are sent to
an Astoria fish reduction plant
to be processed for oils, and the
protein-high residue is used for
livestock feed.

Thu Maverick, who favors
postwar compulsory military
training, took issue with the rea
sons advanced by some other pro

sphere of influence.
Besides Maverick, the commit
tee today heard a number of
spokesmen for organized educa

icizedf the draft plan and urged
mat action be postponed at least
until after the war.
Maverick declared that "to drag
Russia: into the discussion of uni

dangerous talk and is certainly
harmful in connection with any

VATICAN CITV June 12-()-Pope
Pius XII, in a letter to Me-
nito MussOlini less than two
months before Italy entered the

entered the conflict it would be
because her "honor and interests
in the future will j absolutely de
mand her to do it," said an 18-page
pamphlet issued by the Vatican
outlining the Holyjj See's fruitless
efforts to keep Italy at peace.
The booklet pictured the late

WASHINGTON, June 12.-tfV
President Truman told members

This would mean a salary in

of 11500 e year to the $10,000
drawn by members of both the
senate and house.' :
Congressional: salaries should be
increased to at least $15,000 after

in identical letters to Senator Mc
