Ghastly Tragedy 2n Railway Yard sockeye, the spawn of which was tragically blocked last year due a heavy slide in the Babine River, tributary of the Skeena. That problem will constitute major operation this year in northern B.C.'s fisheries, said Mr. Whitmore. Throughout the winter months small party of road men and a vounf young eneineer engineer have have broken broken trail to gouge a road out of the wilderness from Hazelton northward. Today a passable road for heavy equipment stretches from the confluence of the Skeena and Bulkley Rivers to within ten miles of their objective the Babine River slide. When the obstruction has been reached, top Government engineer! will investigate and de termlne the best course of ac- tion this year. "We may be able to construct small trench on one side of the slide to allow the fish to go up, or we may have to pass them over the slide by cable buckets," ventured Mr. Whit- more.

The' so-, called prime minister of the un- i derworld was tripped up only, ' once before in 1915 when the state of New York jailed him for ten months for carrying a gun. He beat rum-running, stolen Jewels and tax charges and only last January 15 beat the same contempt charge on which he was convicted last night. The jury, early tHis year, failed to reach agreement. Costello, croaky-voiced star witness of the Senate committee's widely televised hearings here last year, Is charged with ten counts of contempt. Specifically he is accused of walking out of the hearing with out permission of the commit- tee. He faces a maximum of ten years ln prison and fines of $10,000.

In Cleveland Walter P. Rcuther's 1.700,000 CIO United Automobile Workers pledged "100 percent support" to the steelworkers. It appears that only government seizure or presidential oiclur for Taft-Hartley law injunction could stave off a strike in mills that produce 95 percent of the country's steel. i ici-cut niuiibiia ttuumci ou- oi.ip stanti.il mi. nf Inn-s has heen Of the 44, eighteen are CCF, 12 Progressive-Conservatives, eight Liberals, five Social Credit and one Independent.
