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

residents were lost in the surf
and presumed drowned.
Missing and presumed drown

Witnesses said that the trag
edy occurred when five teen
age girls encountered trouble
in the surf as incoming waves
knocked them down.
Bagley rushed into the water
managed to get two of the girls
to shore. Two others managed
to scramble back onto the beach
but Bagley and the fifth girl
were swept to sea by the waves.

of 11 Campfire girls from Van

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."

Less than a month in office,
Seaton is finding himself on the
hot seat.

Mrs. G. L. Sheila's good, but
not at home.
Sheila I don't belong in my
family.
e
Mrs. G. L. 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

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.

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.

Horse Horoscopes
That noble animal Nashua

Lexington, Ky., on April 14,
1952. -That makes him Aries

of any benefit to handicappers?
There is. practically no data
available on this subject. How
ever, that distinguished star
gazer Evangeline Adams claim
ed to have made a losing1 thor
oughbred into a winner by- the
study of his horoscope. Evange
line said the horse was losing
because his birth sign and that
of the jockey who had been rid
ing him was not compatible. So
the jockeys were changed and
the horse began to get in the
winning circle.

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.
