American destroyers to Alas

Russian fishing fleet.
The 18-boat Russian fleet
moved into the Albatross
Banks southeast of Kodiak is

forced half a dozen American
fishing boats to abandon the

would accompany the team.
In his telegram to President

Russian fleet was "cruising
rough-shod over our American
fishermen in Kamishak bay
and on Albatross Bank off Ko

"The Russians are using
forms of gear denied our own
fishermen for conservation
reasons. They are tearing up
American crab pots and doing
lasting damage to the fishing
grounds," Gruening said.
"This aggression is occur

Canadian Lumber TelS
Arguments Against Quotas
Washington - (DPI) - Cana
dian lumbermen unveiled all
their arguments at once Fri
day in an effort to convince
the U. S. Tariff Commission
that the United States would
suffer not gain if it re
stricted imports of Canadian
softwood lumber.
The Council of Forest In
dustries of British Columbia
asked that all cross-examination
be postponed until all its
witnesses testified on this
fourth day of the tariff com
mission hearing.
Keynoted by B. M. Hoff
meistcr, president of the coun
cil, the witnesses said: The
United States for 20 years has
consumed more softwood lum
ber than it produces and needs
the imports.
Better Profits
The U. S. wood products
industry has made better pro
fits by shifting logs to other
purposes, such as plywood
and veneer, so that lumber
areas, particularly Oregon,
have gained even though soft
wood lumber production may
have declined.
The lumber industry now
is on the downward edge of a
cycle due to housing industry
conditions, and will pick up
as the cycle turns upward.
Hoffmeisters also conceded
that Canada needs the $260
million a year business.
Tongue Point Offer
Asked in Writing
Astoria - il'Pli The Astoria
City Council has stated that
lumbrrmrn who have offered
to purchase the abandoned
Tongue Point Naval Station

The offer for the station and

made earlier by Howard John
son and Peter McCoy, opera
tors of Astoria area logging
companies. There has been no
other firm ofier.
Johnson and McCoy said the
property would be made avail
able for resale or lease to in
dustrial firms if they pur
chased it. The station was
abandoned by the Navy last
ear. 1
Thornton Supports
Medicare Measure
Milwaukie - il'PH - Atty.
Gen. Robert Y. Thornton,
Democratic candidate for
Governor, said Friday night
the need for President Ken
nedy's Medicare plan under
Social Security is critical.
"The President's plan is
soundly financed and fulfills
a critical need for prudent
and effective program of
health insurance for senior
citizens," he told a group of
senior citizens at Willamette
View Manor here.
Thornton said thai if elect
ed governor he would "place
the full power of the gov
ernor's office'' behind pas
sage of Kennedy's plan by the
next Congress.
"On this I differ widely
with Mr. Hatfield." meaning
Republican Gov. Mark Hat
field, "and his Kerr-Mills pro
grain which is working so
poorly in our slate ''
On the topic of welfare,
Thornton reiterated that "per
sonal and spiteful politics
must be removed from the
state welfare program." He
said he favors new emphasis
on rehabilitation of welfare
recipients, and expansion of
collections from runaway
! fathers.
Airline Pilots
May Go to Trial
Washington -IUPD- Federal
Aviation Administration Chief
Najeeb E. Halaby has said at
least three airline captains
may be prosecuted as a result
of photographs showing pi
lots asleep, reading at the con
trols and letting stewardesses
fly their planes. .
The photographs and addi
tional testimony by flight en
gineers and former steward
esses were the subject of Con
gressional hearings earlier
this week.
Halaby told a news confer
ence the crews of 18 flights
have been identified from the
first set of pictures. A second
set still is being checked.
"The crews have been In
terviewed and we have 'prima
facie' cases - meaning solid
evidence - against at least
three captains on charges of
being inattentive to duty,"
Halaby said. He said the
agency's investigation thus far
has produced no evidence that
the violations still are prevalent.
"We just cannot go on be
ing the best customer of the
United States unless we can
sell some goods to get U. S.
dollars," he said.
Hoffmeistcr quoted a state
ment submitted to the com
mission by A. F. Hartung.
president of the International
Woodworkers of America,
arguing against restrictions of
imports from Canada.
"Our contention is that U.S.
producer have not been in
jured and that no additional
tariffs or other restrictions
are warranted at this time,"
Hartung's statement said.
Lost Jobs
U.S. industry groups have
said that lumber mills have
closed and thousands of work
ers lost their jobs because of
competition from imported
softwood from Canada.
They asked the tariff com
mission for a quota of 10 per
cent of U.S. consumption.
This would cut Canada's soft
wood lumber sales in the
United States by about one-third-the
maximum permis
sible tariff, and reinstatement
of the requirement that im
ported lumber be stamped as
to country of origin.
The commission must de
cide whether the industry has
been damaged or is being
threatened by increased im
ports due to past tariff re
ductions. Although the hearing is ex
pected to conclude next week,
no decision is likely until at
least January.
