Soviets Plan
To Pump Fish
Out of Ocean
By Tom Whitney
MOSCOW, Nov. 20 Soviet
scientists are experimenting in
methods of commercial fishing
without nets.
The development of this Idea is
a further step in working out the
technique of fish pumps with the
ultimate possibility of pumping
fish out of the sea. :
The fish? pump? is a device
widely used In the Soviet Union
for rapidly emptying holds of fish
ing vessels of their catch, saving
valuable time and labor force.
It pumps the fish and consid
erable quantities of water out of
the fishing vessel into containers
on the shore. This device has
found .use outside the Soviet
Union although Soviet technical
publications claim credit for its
invention for Russian scientists.
The project for the wider use
of the fish pump in fishing Itself
was outlined by laureate of the
Stalin prize - and candidate of
technical sciences, M. F. Chern
igin, who comes from Petropav
lovsk on Kamchatka where fish
ing is a major industry.
Authority on Pumps
Chernigin is recognized as an
authority on fish pumps, and he
outlined his project in the Journal
Tekhnika Molodezhl, a magazine
on technical and scientific affairs
for Soviet youths.
Cherni gin's project, which he
stressed was in the research stage.
involves the use of large fish
pumps and of acoustic detection of
schools ; of fish and electric cur
rent to attract the fish to the sub
merged pump. '.I
T Swim Up Current
H- said his research indicated
fish will swim up an electrical
current: in the water in the same
way that they will swim against
an actual water current.
The article said a fish pump by
itself, no matter bow powerful and
even if it is placed in the midst
of a school of fish, will only drive
the fish away because they will
swim away - from the water cur
rent leading to its mouth.
Fish Swim into Pump
On the other hand, said Chern
igui, ir tne submerged pump
mouth is made ; an electrode for
direct electrical current flow un
der water and other electrodes of
the opposite pole are placed stra
tegically around it the fish in the
line of; flow will swim along the
electrical current into the pump's
mourn, i
At this point they will be seized
by the bump's suction and carried
together with quantities of water
into the ship where the fish will be
stored and the water ejected.
Acoustic. detection, said Chern
lgin, will enable: the fishing vessel

Chinese Cities
Outside China
Pose Problem
By James D. White
AP foreifn News Analyst
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 20-WV
Remember the Sudeten oroblem in
Czechoslovakia before World War
II?
WelL there's a similar but much
bigger problem about red China, i
It all goes back to Uie iact mat
there are 14 million Chinese who
live outside China, in unassimila-
ted communities, mostly in the,
western Pacific.
This problem is becoming active
because nearly all these overseas
Chinese come from two provinces
recently "liberated" by the reds
Kwangtung and Fukien. i
Send Money Home
Not only do these overseas
Chinese remain generally Chin
ese; they also have a habit of
sending money home to their folks
in China. These remittances al
ways have been an important
source of foreign exchange for re
cent Chinese governments. The
new red regime in Peiping needs
this hard money just as much as
its predecessors.
Besides sending money home.
Chinese communities abroad al
ways have been important vehic
les for a good part of China's
foreign trade. Again, red China
is interested. It needs trade. So
do Chinese businessmen around
the world.
The political implications of this
have been foreseen for some time.
Some students suggest that over
seas Chinese are going to become
the "herrenfolk" of east Asia.
Like Hitler FoUcy
The theory Is that as Chinese
minorities abroad undergo real or
fancied bad treatment ( a la Hit
ler's Sudeten Germans in Czecho
slovakia) red China will beat the
propaganda gong to accomplish
two things:
(1) Soften up the overseas
Chinese for use as a fifth column
in.an expanding communism.
(2) Distract Chinese in china
from domestic troubles.
There may be a trend. The red
radio in Peiping has been giving,
considerable space in its broad
casts to repeating messages from
Chinese communities in various
parts of the world. Greetings are
reported from such remote places
as Madagascar, apparently to give
the impression that Chinese
around the world are delighted
with the formation of the communist-dominated
government in
Peiping.
Gripes Heard
Definite gripes against alleged
ill-treatment of Chinese have been
registered from Macao (the Por
tuguese colony on the south China
coast) and from Havana, Cuba.
Seven Chinese organizations in
Siam (Thailand) reportedly cab
led support to Peiping, and one
message concluded:
"We firmly believe that the new
China under the leadership of the
Chinese communist party and
Chairman Mao-Tze-tung will cer
tainly protect the lawful rights
and interests of the overseas Chin
ese abroad."
By far the most serious gripe.
however, came from recently-
liberated Amoy (in Fukien) where
Chinese from Singapore described
the hardships of Chinese living in
British-protected Malaya, where
Chinese actually outnumber Ma
layans.
'Reign of Terror
They claim the British are con
ducting a "reign of terror" and
have deported thousands of Chin
ese, breaking up families, business
firms, etc. In this connection it
should be noted that a Singapore
Chinese, one Tan Kah-kee, is a
member of the Peiping govern
ment.
The problem still is spotty.
However, the problem is consist
ent in the sense that the ties be
tween overseas Chinese and their
homeland are based on family and
business.
On these roots Chinese national
ism has flowered before. The fruit
this time could be Soviet inter
nationalism.

U.S. Policy Based on Alerts
Skeleton .Military Force,
Not Race to Create Might
By Clarke Beach j
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2HJPhJ. S. defense strategy .becomes ap
parent when you size up the trend in our military spending.
1. The president and his policy makeri are not building up our
military, strength as though they thought war were coming soon.
2. The keynote of our defense strategy is economy striving less
for great military forces than for sound financial and economic con
ditions- within our nation,
Secretary of Defense Johnson
says "certain risks are involved"
but that present, economies will not
reduce American fighting power.
,3. Maintaining just sufficient
armed might to avert disaster if
attacked, to retaliate swiftly with
B-36 bombers, to build a nucleus
which can be quickly mobilized
and developed.
Unraveling Threads
I What happened to the armed
forces amid the confusion of the
long battle over their appropria
tions? The fiscal experts of the
military establishment are gradu
ally unraveling the scrambled
threads, and it is at last possible
to see.
Congress economized in a very
mild way despite all the economy
talk.
It cut only $119,000,000 from the
navy's request for 14,347,000,000.
It cut $233,000,000 from the
army's request for $4,476,000,000.
Cnta Net So Large
Even these cuts are not so large
as they look, for the requested
funds had included $180,000,000
for retired pay for all three ser
vices, and this was provided by
congress under a aeparate head'
ing.
Congress gave the air force
$738,000,000 more than the $4,
554,000,000 it requested. This waa
to provide for a 5 8-group air force
instead of the 48-group force the
administration had sought.
The only other major economy
by congress waa to cut the funds
for stockpiling of strategic ma
terlaJs to $425,000,000 from the
$525,000,000 the president had
recommended.
(This and all other appropria
tions referred to here comprise
only new "obiigational authority"
new contract authority and cash
appropriations. They do not in
elude appropriations to liquidate
debts incurred as a result of con
tract authority provided in prevl
ous years.)
Lota of Economy
Meanwhile the president and
Secretary of Defense Johnson have
been economizing in a big way
The president has ordered that all
funds in excess of those needed
for the 48 air groups he recom
mended be put aside, leaving 'is
air force with almost exactly what
it originally had requested.
Other economies already have
been effected and suu more are
being planned,
What is the effect of this on the
armed force?
The army and navy are taper
ing off activities in order to live
within the leaner budget. .
Manpower Reduced
The army is cutting its man
power from 077,000 uniformed
personnel to 630,000 by next June
30. It will have the same number
of combat and training divisions
as it now has, but the strength of
some will be reduced.
The army is deficient in tanks
and new recoilless weapons, ac
cording to Gen. J. Lawton Collins,
chief of staff. It has the proto
types for new equipment, he said,
but no funds to put them Into pro
duction. The army is now devoting

The navy and marine corps are
cutting tneir manpower from the
534,023 of last July 1 to 472,310 by
next Jufy 1. It plans to pull the
total down still further to 446,000
by July jl, 1951.
Only 6 Large Carriers
It will have only 237 .combat
ships in commission on July 1,
1950, compared to 268 on Sept.
1, 1949. The plan is to have only
six large carriers by- next July 1,
compared to eight in commission
last September 1 and 11 in 1948.
In the next four months it is de
commissioning 35 aircraft squad
rons, which is over 20 per cent of
the navy'g and marine corps' com
bat aircraft. That comprises 480
of its 2,250 combat planes. .Also,

be placed in reduced operating
status. ;
The navy Is carrying on a email
amount of construction, chiefly of
new types of submarines and anti
submarine vessels. It la converting
other ships for antl-aubmarine
operations and is providing heavier
decks zpr two carriers.
These heavier decks will not
enable I the navy to develop the
type of ! aircraft carrier work with
large bombers that had been
planned for the super - carrier
which Secretary Johnson vetoed.
The air force will continue with
its B-3S program on schedule. It
has 169E on hand or on order. Sev

A group of more than 80 dis

served 'the 31st anniversary of
the : establishment of Latvian In
dependence in a modes program
Sunday at Salem YMCA.
The men, women and children,
some of them in this country only
two or three weeks, sang their
native songs, listened to speakers
and ate food prepared Latvian
style. Some of the women, wore
the gay costumes of Latvia.
;Dr. Teodor Starprans, staff
member at Oregon state hospital,
was the main speaker. He out
lined the history of Latvia. After
Latvia declared herself a repub
lic in 1918 she took her role in
the family of nations, he said.
"Its achievements and culture
were first in Europe," the doctor
declared. He reviewed the oe
eupation of his native land by
Germany and by Russia, continu
ing to the present, and said that
Latvia would never, five tip her
fight for independence.
Under the displaced persona
act several thousand Latvians
have come to America. The doc
tor, president of the Latvian So
ciety of Oregon, said the new
comers were grateful for the hos
pitality, and welcome received
here and added that most do not
