SIX MUDFOUD (OHEOOin MAIL TFIBUKE Monday. June 2S, 19SS Seaton Finds Self on Hot Seat Over Controversy on Fisheries By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Secretary of Interior Fred A. Seaton is now wrestling with his first major controversial decision another one of the many in the resource development field on which pri vate interests and conservation ists are split. This is whether the Eisenhow er administration should go through with a scheduled reor ganization of the Fish and Wild life Service, dividing it into two agencies, one for commercial fisheries and the other for sport fishing and wildlife. Conservationists have now joined forces to fight the pro posal, claiming the proposed new Bureau of Fisheries would be dominated by commercial fish ing interests who want to control fishing regulations along coastal waters and in Alaska. Separate Hearings Seaton has given both them and the supporters of the move separate hearings during the past week to become familiar with their respective arguments. Unless he takes action to stop or postpone it. the reorganization will take effect July 1. The unusual feature of this dis pute is that it has political im plications that appear to cut across party lines in Congress. Sens. Warren G. Magnuson ID Wash.) and Thomas Kuchel (R Calif.) have jointly sponsored a bill to do substantially what the administration says it will do in creating a fisheries bureau. The Senate passed the bill, before conservationists began to sound the alarm, but the House has not acted on it as yet. Representatives of the fisheries and canneries say they have told Seaton the entire commercial fishing Industry is back of the reshuffle of agencies. Conserva tionists say this would be a backward step, reversing the consolidation of 1940 which brought the old Bureau of Fish eries" from the Commerce Depart ment and the old Bureau of Bio logical Survey into one new agency. Fish and Wildlife Serv ice. ' Conservationists contend that the administration came up with its plan to take the play away from Magnuson, who is running for reelection. In a bulletin issuid by nine conservation groups, they declared: "The commercial fisheries have a long record of self-destruction through over-exploitation. Even today conservation is resorted to only after the fact of depletion, not in an effort at ad vance planning and control for sustained yields. This is well illustrated by the history, of de pletion of the West Coast hali but years ago. More recently, despite ample and vociferous warning from informed conser vationists, the sardine fleets off California continued to catch more and more until the once great, rich sardine industry suf fered complete collapse a couple Beach Outing Ends In Death lor Two Ilwaco, Wash.

It has not yet come back. Salmon Catch Down "But for the powerful com mercial lobby, over -fishing in Alaska salmon would have been stopped years ago. The Alaska salmon catch is now down to its lowest point in 40 years. "The proposals to reorganize fisheries and set up a separate commercially dominated com mission clearly threaten the rap id destruction of the marine fish resources. The record indicates that the philosophy of short sighted exploitation rather than conservation would prevail and catastrophe would follow." Groups signing the above cri tical statement were Wildlife Management Institute, Wilder ness Society, Sport Fishing In stitute, Outdoor Writers Associ ation of America, National Wild life Federation, National Parks Association, Forest Conservation Society of America, Public Af fairs Institute and Citizens Com mittee on Natural Resources. Less than a month in office, Seaton is finding himself on the hot seat. Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Moscow Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Nathan F.

Our daughter. Sheila, 16, has long been a dif ficult problem for us. We had always been hoping that she would improve as she got older, but it seems to be the other way. We have an older girl and a still older boy, and neither has given us a- moment's unhappi ness. but Sheila never does any thing to help in the house and, worse that that, keeps on taking her sister's things without per mission and has even stolen money from my handbag. What makes it even more pain ful for us to bear is that most pecple seem to think Sheila is a model girl. She is nice to every one but her own family, well be haved everywhere but home. I must admit that I was upset re cently when a lady called on the telephone to compliment me on my wonderful daughter. It seems that Sheila had found a lady's bag on a bus with quite a bit of money in it and had turned it in to the Lost-and-Found depart ment. This occurred only a week after I had missed some money from my hand bag that I feel al most certain Sheila had taken. I am beside myself that my own daughter should treat her family so when she can be a model of perfection outside the home. . ' . Sheila Whenever anything goes wrong at home, I am the one to be blamed. I cannot do anything to please my family, and they resent it when I get some recognition in school or from strangers. I Jiate to admit the fact even to myself, but my parents seem to be jealous if I ever accomplish anything. . in stead of all the laurels going to mv sister and brpther. I can understand that I may be an unwanted child, but I did not. after all. give birth to my self. It would seem that at least my mother should be over re senting me by now. The Council Sheila's bitter ness toward her parents and her oehavior outside the family have several implications. Something happened, probably years ago, to arouse Sheila's resentment against her parents, and a vicious cycle of cause and effect has fol lowed, to make the relationship growingly bad. It may be that Sheila was spoiled as a baby and then called to account too abruptly. It may be that the other children helped. without realizing it, to make Sheila feel an outsider in the family. Whatever the cause. Sheila is bitter because she is unable to get from her family the appreci ation she craves, but fails to earn. Outside the family, however, she Use Tribune Want Ads Low in Cost! finds herself able to earn appre ciation and puts herself on' her best behavior. The symptoms are so clear that the parents and brother and sister should get together on a conscious effort to draw Sheila into the family circle. Progress may be slow and uneven, but the effort should be made. Sheila centainly has the capacity and desire to be a good person, and her family should recognize an obligation to win her back. (Copyright 19SS General Features Corp.) What is chance of success of a marriage of a man of 53 and a 24-year-old girl? These are the questions dramatically and very intimate ly discussed in Paddy Chayef sky's hit play titled "Middle of the night." The bewildered prospective middle-aged bride groom is powerfully portrayed by that truly great actor, Ed ward G. Robinson. No Barry more was ever better. As a play wright, Mr. Chayefsky appears to have a talent that is a mix ture of the best feature of Clyde Fitch, O. Henry and Molly Berg. I will not reveal what conclu sion was arrived at with regard the aforementioned questions. Anyway, according to you, what is love? That is the kind of love that will make a marriage suc cessful. And based on your be lief, experience and observations what are the chances of the suc cess of a marriage of a man who is approximately 30 years older than his bride? I believe some well considered remarks on such a situation might be a valuable addition to our horses and wom en files. Sidelights California is in again with something to top.

Over There The members of Britain's WRAF (Women's Royal Air Force) have been granted a spe cial allowance for the purchase of lingerie and foundation gar ments. There is no regulation calling for the young women wearing the same type of gar ments underneath. The British "Wracs," equivalent to our "Wacs," have not been given a special undergarment allow ance. They must wear the attire regularly issued. Naturally this has inspired much bitterness among them. We have nothing in our Horses and Women fsles as to what this situation is in the women's branches of th U.S. armed forces. We do not even know if the women members of the U.S. Marines have an extra allowance for girdles However, our experts have been instruct ed to check. This is rather an in timate matter but if we are to give the proper coverage to the subjects of Horses and Women we cannot omit any details. Well, hardly any. E Quick . . .
