Crew of Burning Schooner

St. John’s, Nfld—The crew of the fire-destroyed schooner
James Jones rowed quietly ashore during the night and allayed
fears that all might have perished in the explosion.

There were no immediate details, but one source said the
crew abandoned the ship after she caught fire. They rowed

more than 50 miles to shore and apparently were all fit when
they landed

Furthermore, Alcoa has not |

as yet placed any application |

| before the Canadian govern-

| ment requesting permission to

make the Yukon River diver-
sion,

Further aspect of the Alcoa |
; announcement is that the Al-|
uminum Company of Canada is
constructing a $550,000,000 al-
uminum plant at Kitimat and
is attempting to expand its
market in the U.S.

However, officials believe this
should provide no hindrance to
the development of the new
Alaska company since the world
demand for aluminum would re-
main strong for:‘many years to
come,

In the ,initial announcement,
Leon E, Hickman, vice-president
and general counsel for Alcoa,
Said the plant initially will be
capable of producing 200,000
tons of aluminum annually.

Hickman said the plant will
be built in the Taiya Valley dis-

trict, near Skagway. It will be|

financed entirely with private
capital. He estimated the Taiya
development will require about
four years to complete and will
eventually offer employment for
approximately 4000 workers

Hitch and his son are raising

miles from Vancouver, is believed

/fence and we have been advised | financing, without government-

|that d project of this type is; with a

“This complete project, con-
sisting of power facilities, al-
uminum smelting plant, trans-
portation facilities, and a new
and modern community of
20,000 people serving the op-
erations, will constitute a
great national asset.

“It will not only of itself be
of tremendous benefit to the
sound development of Alaska
and the Canadian northwest,
but will also point the way for
other permanent industrial op-
erations in the area.”

Alcoa will need to acquire ap-
proximately 20,000 acres of land
in the Taiya district to accom-
modate the proposed works and
facilities, including a town-site.

He said that there is no way
for the company to acquire this
‘amount of land under - present
llaws affecting Alaska.

It probably will be necessary
for Congress to enact a law per-
mitting the company to pur-
chase the necessary land and
ask the support of all Alaskans
in efforts to obtain the needed

330,000

in Masset Inlet in one day

since 1930.

This was announced here to-
day by A. J. Whitmore, chief
supervisor of fisheries.

“There are thousands of fish
schooling around the Queen
Charlottes now. Not since 1930
have fishermen reaped such a
harvest,” he said, landing here
from the area in a fisheries
patrol plane.

In other areas south of Masset
the salmon closure imposed for
conservation is still in effect.

Only other seining open in
the northern area is around
Butedale where good caiches of
pinks also are reported

More than a million pinks
have been taken from the two
southern areas near the Queen
Charlottes which includes Kai-
sun, Inskip and Skidegate chan-
nels.

BIG COHO

Meanwhile, the Skeena River
area opened to fall fishing for
coho Sunday midnight, but it
is still too early to give accu-
rate reports.

Coho, however, are reported to
run to giant sizes with 16 to 20
pounders having been weighed
in at fishing company scales.

In the Butedale area, 45 sein-

 

bers of a 8-17 bomber shot down by a jet fighter |ers were averaging 2500 fish a

Jet Bomber
Makes Fast
Crossing

ALDERGROVE AIRFIELD,
Northern Ireland @® — Britain’s
Canberra jet bomber completed
the first flight across the At-
lantic and back inside one day
and crossed the finish line here
today at 4:39 pm. BST (11:39
a.m. DT).

The jet bomber lashed across
the ocean and back in slightly
more than 10 hours.

The double crossing in a single
day is the first in history.

The black Canberra also
smashed all records for the west-
to-east passage as it streaked
home from Gander, Nflid., its
western terminus of flight.
The homeward flight from
Gander took only three hours,
24 minutes. The outward cross-
ing, slowed by headwinds, took
four hours 41 minutes. T three-
man crew spent about two hours
at Gander refuelling.

daya nd there was no sign of
let-up in this type of fishing.

pets” at this time was the Bab-
