Small Businessmen
Must Take Stand
Rotary Informed
"Small business is at the cross
roads and must become interested
in state and national legislation,’
Clark Richards, representative of
the National Association of Fed
erated Businesses, told the Kodiak
Rotary. Tuesday noon.
Through ballots, the business
men can inform state legislators
and US. Congressmen just how
they feel on pending legislative
matters, he said.
Small business is unorganized
even though there are 4.200.000
small business firms in the U.S.,
he commented and they are re
sponsible for the 55 per cent in
crease in employment in the past
two years. Small business is de
fined as one having less than 20
employes, he continued.
Mergers of big businesses and
expansion of co-ops which pay no
taxes provide a threat to America’s
leadership as well as to the small
business entrapaneur he stated.
He concluded that this Congress
is more willing to listen to the
problems of small business than
any of its predecessors.
Guests of the Club included Ray
Denenham, Anchorage; Stan Reed,
Lake Oswego; G. S. Duryea and
Capt. H. R. Sterner of Alaska
Steamship. Inc., Seattle; C. B. Nel
son, Seattle; Alex Ibanez of Los
Angeles and Howard Wakefield
and Bill Mason of Kodiak. Frank
Heglin was the Kodiak high school
guest of honor.
Russ Grab & Jap
Salmon Protested
“Perhaps the Russians are trying
to sell back to us crab meat taken
from our own waters,” Senator VV.
G. Magnuson said this w’eek in a
protest against the arrival in New
York of 1,000 cases of Communist
crab, adding, “Soviet fishermen
have been reported taking King
Crab southwest of Kodiak Island
in the Gulf of Alaska.”
Legislation calling for a possible
embargo on imports of canned sal
mon from Japan received unani
mous approval of a House subcom
mittee this week despite protests
from the State Department. The
bill would ban imports from any
country whose fishermen used nets
to catch migrating salmon.

Yaquina Finds New
King Crabbing Area
Location of new King Crab
stocks of “potential commercial
value’’ has been made by the Bu
reau of Commercial Fisheries
chartered exploratory 75-foot ves
sel Yaquina.
The Yaquina has been making a
combination trawl and king crab
pot sampling in the Portlock
Bank area east of Kodiak Island
and in a submarine gully extending
about 40 miles southeast from Cape
Chiniak.
"The best catches here were
made along the northeast side of
the gully, increasing in quality and
abundance proceeding seaward and
into deeper water,” said Charles
F. Connolley, Jr., fishery biologist
in charge of the exploration.
Ed. Note: The newly discov
ered fishery areas are generally
considered as too distant from
Kodiak for most boats of the
present Kodiak King Crab fleet
to harvest safely or economically
due to their limited size and ca
pacity.
Kodiak fishermen, who would
have to observe the limitations
set by the landing law, will large
ly be unable to utilize the new
fishing area. However, the larg
er sized vessels of the foreign
fleets, who need not observe the
landing law, will be able to
harvest the new fishery.
The huge area covered by the
landing law's present boundaries
encompasses a tremendous area
not actually fished by Alaskan
fishermen with their smaller
boats and limited gear. However,
while effectively preventing util
ization of the fishery resources
of the area by Alaskans (pri
marily Kodiak-based fishing
boats) it has no effect whatever
on the operation of the Russian
and Japanese fleets now ope
rating on a huge scale in the
landing law area . . . using gear
and methods prohibited to Alas
kans.)
AT CENTURY 21
Attending Century 21 on Sep
tember 5 were Mr. and Mrs. D. J.
Vinberg and family of Kodiak and
