Crab Fishermen
Angered by Soviet
Fishing Methods
KODIAK. Alaska (UPO-The
brawny, leather-faced Alaskans
who earn their living scooping
king crabs from the sea are
men long on action and short
on diplomacy. They're seething
in anger at Russian fishermen
who have been coming through
carefully developed fishing
grounds like vacuum sweepers.
carelessly gathering huge quan-1
tities of crabs and killing and
maiming thousands of others.
The crab fishermen's private
cold war with their Soviet coun
terparts could turn hot any day
perhaps to the point of shoot
ingif the Russians persist in
destructive "invasions" of the
rich fishing waters off Alaska.
Some of the U.S. fishermen
arc going to sea armed and
they don't intend to sit idlv bv
, while the Soviets threaten the
. very existence of this communi
ty's $8 million-a-year crab in
dustry by using fishing methods
wnicn violate U.S. law.
It all started two years ago,
on Thanksgiving Day, when a
single-engine plane dipped low
over the choppy, steel-gray Gulf
of Alaska and state Fish and
Game Department employe Ov
id McKinley saw a fishing traw-
ller below with a red hammer
and sickle painted on its stack.
I Since that first Soviet vessel
was detected in traditional U.S.
1 fishing waters off the 4!)lh state,
as many as 82 Russian ships
ranging in size from 127 - foot
trawlers to 575-foot processing
vessels have been counted off
' Kodiak lslnnd at one time.
Invasion Of Grounds
American skippers and state
1 officials call it an "invasion" of
! U.S. developed fishing grounds.
Fishermen have testified un
der oath that Russian vessels
are deliberately harrassing
them, destroying their gear, and
j as one put it, "generally mak-
! ing themselves obnoxious."
Robert J. Simon, a Fish and
Game Department biologist,
j testified that if Russian fisher
men continue their activities,
Kodiak's crab fisher could eas
ily be ruined perhaps within
five years.
The tension here and on the
waters around the island is
j electric.
At least two American skip
pers are known to have ordered
heavy arms an anti-tank rifle
and a small cannon from sur
plus firms in Los Angeles and
Alexandria, Va.
Recently, U.S. Coast Guard
cutters stopped two American
vessels the Eldorado and the
North Beach, skippered by
Louis Wick and Tom McAllis
ter in waters off Kodiak and
searched them for arms. Nona
was found.
The Coast Guard 17th District
with headquarters at Juneau,
has refused to talk about spe
cifics and says only that the
boardings were legal under the
Navigaiion Act and that if any
heavy arms are found they will
be confiscated.
Extend Patrols
Coast Guard patrols off Ko
diak were scheduled to stop Oct.
1, because there usually is lit
tle activity during the fall and
winter months, but thev have
been extended until December
in an effort to prevent an inter
national incident.
American fishermen have
charged repeatedly and the
Coast Guard was reported to
have photographs substantiating
it that Russian trawlers de
liberately drag their nets
through strings of American
crab pots, cutting the buoy
lines so they can't be retrieved
or damaging the pots so badly
they are worthless.
As one disgruntled skipper put
it:
"The ocean's a pretty big
place, yet with all of it to wan
der around in, they insist on
going right through our gear."
Most of the incidents have
taken place in international wat
ers, where the Coast Guard leg
ally is powerless to take action.
Some fishermen have reported
seeing Russian vessels par
ticularly whalers inside the
U. S. three-mile limit, but none
has ever been caught fishing
there.
Even if one were caught, un
der present law, the Coast
Guard could do little since tho
United States has no laws pro
viding for the arrest or impris
onment of foreign fishermen vio
lating territorial waters.
To make matters worse, Rus
sian trawlers have a top speed
of 18 knots, while the Coast
Guard cutters stationed here
can make only 12.
U.S. Advisor Says
Reds Want to Slow
Our Lunar Project
WASHINGTON (UPI)-A lead
ing space adviser to President
Kennedy believes Premier Ni
kitu S. Khrushchev's recent
space statement was an attempt
to slow down the U.S. lunar
I project, rather than a Soviet
i withdrawal from the space race.
Dr. Edward C. Welsh said
Tuesday that the Russians have
a "strong space progam and
are concentrating on it. There
j is nothing in this (Khrushchev's
; remarks) to indicate otherwise
I and no reason to believe they
! arc slackening."
Welsh is executive secretary
of the National Aeronautics and
Space Council which advises
; President Kennedy on U.S.
I space programs. In an inter
view with United Press Inter
national ne commented on
Khrushchev's weekend review
of future Soviet space pro
grams. Encourage U.S. Reduction
Welsh said Khrushchev's
comments were an attempt to
encourage a reduction in U.S.
space efforts so that Russia
might maintain any competi
tive edge it believes it may
have.
"lie would maintain this ad
vantage on the basis of a slow
down on our part rather than a
speedup on his."
He added that Khrushchev's
remarks were made when Con
gress was considering the ap
propriation bill for the Nation
al Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration (NASA).
Rep. Olin E. Tcaguc, second
ranking Democrat on the House
Space Committee, said that
Khrushchev's remarks ought to
be ignored, and that the U. S.
space program should not be
changed.
The Texas congressman add
ed, "I wouldn't trust Khru
shchev, even if he swore on a
stack of Bibles as high as the
Krelmin.
Points Out Keys
After a close review of Khru
shchev s statement, Welsh said
there were two key sentences:
"At the present lime we are
not planning flights of cosmo
nauts to the moon. . . .
"We do not wish to compete
in sending people to the moon
without thorough preparation."
To Welsh, the Soviet leader's
statement "did not say Russia
would not compete wilh us on
going to the moon." What he
did say was that Russia would
not dispatch men to the moon
without careful advance plan
ning. Welsh said,
i "The inference he apparent
I ly wished to leave," Welch said,
"was that the United States
may be willing to risk lives bv
going ahead hastily but that the
Russians won t go until they're
ready."
Strike Meet Ends
Without Progress
PORTLAND (UPI) -A meet
ing called in an attempt to set
tle a strike against Weyerhaeu
ser Co. operations in the Coos
Bay area broke up Wednesday
without any progress, according
to Federal Mediator Leroy
Smith.
Smith said no further meet
ings were planned, but he will
continue to meet individually
wun tne two sides.
"I am hopeful further meet
ings will be called, but there
isn't any basis to call one as
of the immediate moment," he
said.
Local 3-261 of the Internation
al Woodworkers of America
struck Weyerhaeuser plants at
North Bend and logging opera
lions near Allegany earlier this
month.
Smith said the union had a
number of grievances, but he
declined to list them specifical
ly. Union Business Agent Ken
Johnson of Coos Bay said over
time pay, work required of
boom crews and woods loading
crews and reinstatement of sus
pended workers are involved.
Evangelist Refers
To Monroe Suicide
HOUSTON. Tex. (UPI)
Evangelist Billy Graham used
the suicide of actress Marilyn
Monroe Wednesday to illustrate
the importance of obedience of
moral laws.
Graham was to address a
joint meeting today of the Ro
tary and Kiwanis clubs, the
third talk of his four-day visit.
Graham said Miss Monroe's
death showed that "sex god
desses are not happy." He lold
5.000 students of Houston Bap
tist College that "hundreds of
you here would like to try and
think you can overcome the
odds.
"But if you break the moral
laws," Graham said, "there is
no sin which will destroy you
quicker.
"Sex can be a flaming fire
for good in your life if used
properly."
Graham plans a "crusade for
Christ" here in the autumn of
15 at a domed athletic stadi
um which is under construction.
