For four years he enjoyed un bothered rest, disturbed only by the distant thunder of guns and the occasional death, rattle ot a sinking ship. Now, peace has returned and the war against the tune is on again in full blast. In San Diego, where 65 per cent of the nation's tuna catch is packed, it's swinging into full-fledged blitzkrieg. With $35,000,000 worth of business and employment for between 4,000 and 6,000 work' ers Involved, the San Diego canneries and tuna fleets are hot on the trail of an annual catch exceeding 125,000,000 pounds of fish and 1,000,000 pounds of lobster. Small fortunes are pouring into cans and catching boats as local canneries become increas ingly confident of the future of the industry. New Ships Off Ways New tuna boats are sliding down Pacific Coast ways and being outfitted with Diesel en gines and refrigerating systems in a small-scale version of America's wartime shipbuilding program. The new ships will join a fleet of 50 150-footers already experienced in the chase, plus about 40 "war veterans" wear Bob Chilton NOI.TH AMERICAN AVIATION, INC Test-flying high speed It takes confidence for a test-pilot to take a new airplane off the ground for the first flight.

Used by the Army and Navy as inter- island supply ships and "errand boys" delivering perish able goods, these boats cruised the war zones for four years and are now being returned to thoir owners. Fathometers and other long- range navigational aids are be ing installed to increase the range of these boats past the 12,000-mile mark. Boat Coiti $450,000 With a capacity of 500 tuns, the big new all-steel Suii Dial is typical of latest designs in tuna boats. Costing $450,000 to build, the Sun Dial is 131 feet long, can carry the biggest tuna load in the fleet's history. It sailed from Tacoma, Wash., to San Diego recently, bucking coastal storms all the way. Two new firms are planning canneries in San Diego, cost ing around $2,000,000, while the five existing facilities are planning expansion. And the tuna captains who own their boats and pay for them with what they catch and sell to the canneries are talk ing about radar and use of air planes as spotters to increase the catch.
