SHARK LIVERS IS Fishermen's Dream of Easy Riches Blows Up When Prices Fall to $1 Pound. San Francisco, June 23. (JP) The one-time dream of easy riches to be obtained from the so-called "gray gold" of shark livers has turned into a night mare of financial disaster for a great many of the nation's fish ermen who were lured by the promise of easy money. Spokesmen for fishermen, producers and concentrators of the rich vitamin A oils extracted from shark livers met here yes terday with Office of Price Ad ministration representatives and groaned loudly at price sched ules proposed "tentatively" by the OPA. The new price would be de termined by the vitamin A con tent of the liver, Laurent J. Labrie, associate price executive of the chemical branch of the OPA industrial materials price division, told the group. Average SI Pound Under this plan fishermen would receive an average price of about $1 a pound, Jeff Kibre, San Pedro, representing the In ternational Fish and 'Allied Workers (CIO), estimated. , Pre boom prices were about $1.50 a pound. Then they Jumped to $8, $10 and $12 levels. Fishermen rushed in to buy equipment, mortgaged homes to raise money for gear when the boom started. But the sharp price increases unsettled the market and processors curtailed purchases, finally quit buying altogether. Discouraged, fishermen have turned away from shark fishing and now the Fish Workers union is having trouble inducing the men to go back to the indus try, Kibre told the OPA of ficials. Harold Larkin, manager of the Fish Vessel Owners associa tion of Seattle, said a million dollars has been spent for shark fishing gear and some men are now unable to pay off money borrowed. Lack of a market and the submarine menace has darkened the situation extreme ly, he said. Gold Hill Gold Hill J.une 23. (Spl Mrs. Marvin Emery of Mojave, Calif., is visiting her brother. Allen Paul.

RECORD OF TRIAL OF ALBERT REED Transcript of testimony and other records in the trial of Al bert W. Reed, now serving a life sentence in state prison on con viction of the slaying of Victor Knott, Ashland policeman, in November, 1932, have been for warded to the state parole board at Salem for consideration of that body, in Reed's applica tion for a parole, District Attor ney George W. Neilson reported today. Reed, a resident of Colorado, has served approximately 10 years of his sentence. Two com panions, Paul McQuade and Lee Jackson, indicted for first de gree murder in connection with the same crime have never been captured. Ashland authorities and citi zens have been requested to submit their views and records on granting a parole to Reed at the hearing, date undetermined. Knott was shot while seeking to question two men he and an other policeman found prowling around the Enders warehouse at night. Reed admitted he had traveled by auto from Denver, Colo., to Ashland, but claimed he was eating in a hamburger stand when the shots were fired. Some testimony was introduced in support of this alibi at the trial. Reed was arrested a month later at his home in Long mont, Colo., and returned here for trial.
