Gulf Coast of Texas May Become Major Tuna Center Rockport, Tex.- (U.R) The Texas Gulf ' coast may someday take its place along with the West Coast, New England and Japan as a major tuna canning center. Marine scientists on a mara- than fishing junket have turned up a big, sleek battler the yellowfin tuna among the 272 known varieties of fish in the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, an entirely new fishing and can ning industry may be built along this fish-conscious coast. Francis J." Captiva; a fishery specialist for the TJ.S. Fish and Wildlife service, believes the yellowfin is present in the gulf in commercial quantities suffic ient to keep at least 600 fishing boats busy. t "The job now," he said, "is to determine the months of the year in which they can be caught, where they can be caught in the. greatest numbers and what type of gear is the best for commercial use." Captiva led four exploratory cruises in the gulf this past sum mer and brought in 397 yellow fins weighing from 73 to 168 pounds each. Good Catch Rale "And we fished only , about half as long in any one place as a commercial boat would," he said. "We kept moving, we did not just find a good spot and stop there." . The yellowfin, a highly palat able cousin of the West Coast and New England tuna species, was caught on a long-line rig fashioned originally by the Jap anese. It is about five miles long supported by buoys and with hooks dropping downward from the line at intervals. Once laid, the rig is left in place about three hours, then hauled in. Captiva said the "catch rate" was about 2.4 fish for each 100 hooks. It some times ran as high as 5.1. "Compare that with the 1.9 and 2.0 catch rate of the Japan ese in proved tuna waters, and you get a fair idea of the Gulf's tuna producing potential," Cap tiva said. . Captiva said two shrimping concerns along the South Texas 117 S.

And with its death, ended a masquerade during w h i c h it posed as the Grand Old Lady of Pullman. An autopsy ; con ducted after death yesterday proved Butch to be a, male. Senile Ailment "Long claws, you know," re plied why this deduction hadn't been, arrived at while the cat was alive. He added cause of death was "chronic valvular dis ease of the heart coupled with other senile ailments and a liver condition." Veterinarian "R. W. Leader said Butch hadn't been feeling well for some time, in fact not since Idaho beat WSC 10-0 at' football this fall. The cat; had refused to eat the daily ration coast have indicated that they are seriously considering enter ing the tuna field and others have made general inquiries. "It wouldn't surprise me a bit to see a tuna cannery built right here in Texas, he concluded.

"Butch was very depressed," he added. . Butch was one of the twin cougar kittens presented to WSC in January, 1942, by Gov. Arthur Langlie after Butch II died. One was a male, the other a female. One of them, thought to be the male, became Butch III but died after serving less than a year. So the present Butch became . mascot. Everyone thought the cat was a female, but it was named Butch out of tradition. , Turn to Langlie ; Now the . cat has the last laugh, and school officials again are turning to Langlie for help. When Butch's illness became know recently, Langlie wrote he was "certainly sharing your concern about Butch's health. "Rest assured that if' it is necessary for her to retire from the position she so long has held, I'll be happy to cooperate in acquiring another cougar to follow in her tracks," he said.

Benson Said 'Flop- As Mi Washington (U.R) As a milk salesman, Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson is in a way an unqualified flop. In his zeal to unburden the government of dairy surpluses, he installed a milk machine in front of his office last May. Some thing to solace officials while they cooled their heels. The idea started off with a bang. At a lavish premiere, Ben son and other bigwigs gulped down great quantities of milk and cameras spread the lesson around the nation. But the machine fell on hard times immediately afterward. Something got out of kilter and for a long time it was draped with a sign reading: "Out of order." . ... : Even when it was running, it never seemed to measure up to its premiere. An official ruefully admitted it "wasn't getting too big a play in that location." Ma chines elsewhere in the Agricul ture Department were doing much better. .. . !"
