Ujurp Authority Sailors said that such a large contingency fund removed the assembly from its policy making capacity and caused it to usurp the chairman's administrative authority. Mrs. Dalton, using graphic language, said this large contingency fund would only result in giving the assembly "more money to play with." She said the money was "unearmarked" and "all it takes is eight vows." and the assembly could spend it on anything they wish. An early amendment by John 0.

The John Birch Society has come to Fairbanks. Larry Abraham, a trim 27- year-old from Seattle, has brought it here. Abraham, a father of five children, is regional co-ordina- tor for the John Birch Society and has spent the past two weeks traveling through Alaska testing the conservative current and establishing chapters of the society. He left Thursday night for home. While Abraham was in Alaska, he visited Ketchikan, Juneau, Anchorage, Homer and Fairbanks.

"I found the reception exceedingly warm and enthusiastic," Abraham said. "And what we were able to do far exceeded our expectations." His reception in Fairbanks was the same. Abraham set up two meetings and the turnout was about 40 or 50 at each meeting. How does one go about setting up a chapter of the John Birch Society? "When I get to an area," Abraham confided, "I contact those who have shown an interest in our organization and try to determine the extent of their interest." The next step is to set up meetings of conservatives and explain what the society is doing. How would you define your organization? Abraham was asked.

"The society is a group of Americans who have voluntari- ly bound together to combat the immediate evils represented in the Communist conspiracy that now threatens our lives, nation, all religions and the western civilization," he said. "Also, I would like to add, we try to bring about a better understanding of limited constitutional government and to re-ignite the moral fiber on which our humane civilization has been built," Abraham concluded. Abraham said he will hopefully return next fall to put the finishing touches on the Alaskan chapters.

Japanese Boats Seen Fishing JUNEAU (AP) Five Japanese high seas salmon catcher boats were detected operating late Thursday in waters closed to them by the international North Pacific Fisheries treaty, the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries said today.

Harry Rietze, regional director for the bureau, said a Coast Guard patrol plane with a Bureau of Commercial Fisheries agent aboard spotted the five Japanese gillnetters. The Coast Guard Cutter Wachusett, on fisheries patrol in the area, was ordered to attempt to intercept the Japanese boats in closed waters. A BCF agent is also aboard the Wachusett. Two of the Japanese catcher boats, the Hasuni Maru No. 15 and the Hokyuo Maru No.

38, were spotted actually fishing at a point 60 miles south of Atka Island, in the Aleutians. This location would place the two boats 28 miles east of the international North Pacific fisheries treaty abstention line, 175 degrees west longitude. Under the provisions of the treaty, Japan agreed to abstain from taking salmon east of the line. Three other boats, the Tomi Maru No. 38, the Giho Maru No.

"It is high time (hat something be done to aid, abet and augment the habitat improvement program," Douglas said.
