Claim Be ring
Sea Fishing
Washington. March 21 .-T
Immediate claim to fishing
rights in the Bering sea for the
United States wa urged today
by Senators Magnuson and
Mitchell, Washington democrats,
in a conference with Interior
Secretary Ickes.
The area, around the Aleu
tians and oilier islands off the
coast of Alaska, is regarded as
one of the great fishing grounds
of the world. Fished before the
war by the Japanese, it is noted
particularly for the giant king
crab, halibut, cod, and sole.
Senator Magnuson told a re
porter Ickes had promised to
urge President Roosevelt to pro
claim the Bering shelf United
States territory.
Magnuson also said that he
and Mitchell were urging that
immediate advantage be taken
of this source of food and hoped
to work out a plan for release
of sufficient ships by the war
shipping administration as a
fishing fleet in that area.
He said also that the army
is attempting to interest men
experienced in the fishing in
dustry to take over tuna fish
ing in the waters around the
Marianas and other South Pa
cific islands where the Japanese
used to operate.
With floating canneries and
refrigerator ships, the senators
said, the new fleet could sup
ply a large amount of food di
rectly to troops engaged in the
Pacific war.

Raver Testifies
On Aluminum
Washington. March 21 iPi
The government was urged to
day lo encourage more private
operators to go into the alum
inum industry. This is neces
sary. Dr. Paul J. Raver told the
senate small business committee.
because aluminum has become
"a matter of the highest strategy !
in the national defense."
Raver, head of the Bonneville j
power administration, said:. I
"Had there been additional!
production at the beginning of
this war. the situation would
have been healthier all around. :
We should see to it thai we are;
prepared for the possibility of
another war by having a num-
her of producers so that expan- !
sion o fproduction can proceed 1
quickly and not be held up by j
lack of trained personnel or sup- ;
plies of raw material, including
power." j
" In the long run, Raver de
clared, aluminum production
should further expand in the
Pacific northwest because "no
where else in the country ex
cept at the St. Lawrence pro
ject." will there develop large
quantities of low cost power
competititive with the Colum
bia river.
Asserting Bonneville power
has made possible nearly one
third the national output of
aluminum, he said "in this sense
one-third of the United States
air power has depended on our
hydro projects for airplane al
muinum." New Hardware
Store for Salem
George Schaub of Jamestown,

scored the clearcut threat to
the Ruhr, invaded on the west
and threatened by Lt. Gen.
Courtney H. Hodges' Iroops
which captured Beuel, Bonn
suburb 1 4 miles south of the
Ruhr. Gen. Eisenhower warned
that the Ruhr, the source of 75
percent of all German war pro
duction in 1 P42, was next in
line of conquest.
Already the lack of punching
power cast of the Rhine was ap
parent in German ranks. Prison
ers plodded dejectedly to the
rear in uncounted thousands.
The enemy had thrown the best
troops saved from the first par
achute and sixth Panzer armies
at the Remagen bridgehead and
failed to check its expansion.
The enemy was failing back
upon the narrow Sieg and Wied
rivers, plainly despairing of
driving the Americans from the
eat bank of the Rhine.
