American fishermen say they are ' fed up with harassment by for eign fishermen particularly the Russians and are ready to fight if necessary to protect their fish ing gear and traditional crab grounds. , The Russian fishermen' and their destructive practices were on the lips of nearly everyone in r. this fishing community of 4,500 - during the weekend. The atmos phere was like that of a town under siege. A weekly newspaper, the Kodiak Mirror, ran the ban ner headline "pirates return." One skipper told a United Press International reporter, "We can't do much when there are a dozen ' Russian boats out there at once, but if a single one wanders in " and starts cutting up our gear, there's gonna be fireworks. Several fishermen said in testi ; mony at a hearing that they were going to take matters into their; , own hands unless action is taken by the government to see that harassment by foreign fisher- , men chiefly Russians is stop- ped. I During the last week of August and the first week of September, , American skippers based here i lost 39 crab pots because of Rus- sian activity. United Press International learn 'r ed Saturday night that an addi - tional 33 crab pots had been lost , by fishermen based at Dutch Har ; bor in the Aleutian Islands. ', Russian fishermen used large ; net drags called otter trawls to t fish for crabs. The nets drag ; along the bottom of the ocean, j scooping up crab and anything else that gets in the way. In . eluding , American crab pots. Testimony was given at a hear ing called by former state House J Majority Leader Peter M. De- veau, Kodiak, chairman of the ; local Fish Advisory Board, and i Oscar Dyson, Kodiak, a member I of the Alaska Fish and Game ' Board. , Twelve American skippers, in ' sworn statements, told Alaska Atty. Gen. George N. Hayes that ; Russian trawlers had deliberately I used their nets to sweep throuch ' lines of American crab pots, cut- , ting buoy lines so the pots ; couldn't be retrieved, or damae- ing them so badly they were use-1 , lcss- , The Russian harassment took : place in the waters of the Shelikofl i Strait, a patch of international water about 300 miles southwest! ' of Anchorage. Alaska claims the ' strait as inland water since it . divides two large parts of the strait. . , Otter trawling for King crab, , such as the Russians do, has been outlawed among American fishcr ! men since 1956 because it is an extremely destructive way to fish! lor crab. ' The testimony at the hearing I was recorded and will be sent to ' Washington for consideration by ; Congress. American fishermen want king . crab declared creatures of the ' continental shelf and under U.S. J protection. AFL-CIO Opens Annual Meeting i EUGENE (UPI) - Taxes tnd ' workmen's compensation benefits ' were two of the principal items ; on the agenda when the Oregon AKL-CIO opened its annual con 1 vention here today. i ' A move was expected favoring an initiative measure increasing workmen's compensation benefits i on the November, 1964, election ballot. An amendment to ban pri ' vale insurance firms from, partici . pating in the program also was under consideration. i The 1963 legislature's tax pro- gram and the Oct. 15 refeiendum . also were certain to come up for ' discussion.
