She was blown to hell. I

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.

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.
The case attracted wide atten
tion at the time throughout
Jackson county.
