In the meantime, an estim- ated 70 bombardiers grind out from Hay River with supplies for hundreds of scattered fish- ing shacks and return with car- goes of fish.

American steel execulves currently are telling a U.S. tariff commission hearing of their complaints against a ris- ing flow of foreign steel into U.S. markets. They also are asking measures to broaden the export business for American steel mills. The European Coal and Steel Community already has acted. It recently raised its tariffs on imports of low-priced steel and cast iron. The community (the six Com- mon Market nations) also re- ports a big upsurge in orders for its steel mills. It says most of the orders are coming from within the Common Market-- West Germany, France, Itaiy, The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Still unfrozen, the fish is placed in crates between layers of ice. Transports leave almost daily with Hay River fish for the long trip down the Mackenzie High. way and into the eastern United States. In winter the crates contain about half ice and half fish. In summer about four pounds of ice is required to preserve one pound of fish on a six-day trip. Typical of the plants at Hay River is the Alaska Fisheries Co. operation managed by Ed Studney. It has a summer quota of 1,000,000 pounds and a winter limit of 500,000. Six men work steadily weigh- ing and packing whitefish, trout and a few pickerel. Although a small portion may be cleaned or perhaps smoked, "'most of the fish aren't even gutted," says Mr, Studney. Alaska Fisheries uses 14 steel- hulled 40-foot boats with heavy power equipment, and an equal number of skiffs, for its sum- mer operations. sent the greatest hazard to summer fishing. Morris (Bud)| Bogart, a fisheries department} inspector, says the waves reach| a peak of 12 feet "but it looks} like 40 when you're in one of those boats." MAKES SPOT CHECKS Mr. Bogart is a member of the five-man protection staff which makes spot checks to en- sure that laws governing licen- ces, net sizes, quotas and fish- ing methods are observed. Another five men check fish for parasite infestation, quality and proper handling by fisher- men and processing plants, The importance of their job was demonstrated last year, says Mr. Hitchcock, when an unre- frigerated shipment of fish from another part of Canada to Texas proved responsible for an out- break of food poisoning.

WEEK'S NEWS IN REVIEW Chaput Stirs Storm On Threat To Queen By JIM PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer Separatist stirs storm Liberals survive tests No Cyprus solution yet A prominent Quebec separ- atist stirred a storm of protest in Parliament this week with a statement that Queen Eliz- abeth would meet with trouble during a planned visit to Que bec City in October. The issue was one more headache for Prime Minister Pearson's minority Liberal government, which faced-- and survived--three votes of non - confidence within two days in the House of Com- mons, winning one of them by the slim margin of eight votes. CRIES OF TREASON Marcel Chaput, former leader of a Quebec separatist group, was reported to have referred in a Toronto speech Monday to the planned visit by the Queen and Prince Philip to Charlottetown and Quebec City Oct. 2-12. "Some of my own people are ready to let her know-- brutally--that she is no longer welcome in French Canada," Chaput was quoted as saying. Leon Balcer, Quebec leader of the opposition Conserva- tives read the quotation into the Commons record Tuesday as some members shouted treason." Mr. Pearson told the House that "the plans regarding Her Majesty's visit to Canada will not be affected in any way by such an irresponsible state- ment." Privately, officials in close touch with the prime minis- ter's office expressed deep concern with the extremity of the separatists' views and government officials said the royal visit may be severely curtailed and highly wrapped in security precautions. LIBERALS SURVIVE Three Social Credit and two New Democratic Party mem- bers voted with the minority Liberal government Tuesday night to save it from defeat in a non - confidence vote brought by the Conservatives. The result was 128 to 120 to defeat the Conservative mo- tion, attacking the sales tax levied last year on construc- tion materials and production machinery. It was the closest squeak yet by the Liberal who took office last April 22. Later in the week, the mar- gins grew as the House de- feated a Creditiste vote by 222 to 25 and then uplield the government 134 to 113 on an- other Conservative non-confi- dence motion. UN STUDIES CYPRUS Diplomatic sources at the United Nations said Friday that they saw some chance that the Security Council would get a resolution during the weekend to provide an international peace force and a mediator for the crisis on the island of Cyprus. The Security Council was pondering the problem again after Secretary - General U Thant announced Monday that he had been unable to break a stalemate over the question in private negotiations. _ The Security Council was under new pressure as Britain indicated it would abandon the job of keeping peace on the turbulent east Mediterranean island, where it now has some if there were no commercial) fishing. "You can be sure weare con-| stantly watching for any de-| crease in the lakes' fish popu- lation."" The department sets commer- | cial quotas on Great Slave and) more than a dozen other lakes in the territories in conjunction with the fisheries research board which collects scale sam- ples, population figures and other data before a lake is} opened. | "We are constantly developing} new areas," says Mr. Hitch- cock, adding that possibilities for both commercial and sports fishing in the north are almost unbelievable. One lake on Victoria Island in the Arctic produced a 40- pound trout last year although it was ice - free for only two months. 6,000 tnoops, if an interna- tional force did not take over soon. MALAYSIAN AGREEMENT President Sukarno of Indo- nesia and President Macapa- gal of the Philippines an- nounced Friday in Jakarta that thty have agreed to seek an unconditional summit meeting with Malaysia as soon as possible to achieve a peaceful settlement of their dispute. Indonesia and the Philip- ines have opposed the Brit- sh-backed Malaysian federa- tion with Sukarno threatening to crush it AIR CRASHES Seventy-eight persons died in separate air crashes, 58 when an Eastern Air Lines DC-8 jet plunged into a lake soon after taking off from New Orleans Tuesday morn- ing and 20 when a Convair crashed Thursday while at- tempting to land in Japan. BOYCOTT SETTLED A 10-day boycott by U.S. waterfront unions against loading ships with U.S, wheat bound for Russia was -settled Tuesday when the White House announced that the un- ions had agreed to load the wheat after President John- son pledged that in all future grain deals with Russia, half the cargo will be carried in U.S. ships. WILSON VISITS Harold Wilson, leader of Britain's opposition Labor party, flew to Montreal Thursday, visited Ottawa long enough for a private dinner with Prime Minister Pearson and NDP Leader Douglas and breakfast with Conservative Leader Diefenbaker, then re- turned to Montreal for a speech before heading for Washington. CONSERVATIVES WIN Britain's Conservative gov- ernment won a vote of confi- dence Thursday night in Lon- don when the House of Com- mons rejected a Labor cen- sure move based on defence policies by 337 votes to 238. VIET NAM TROUBLED South Viet Nam had further difficulties as a sharp engage- ment with the Communist Viet Cong occurred Wednes- day in the Mekong delta. U.S. military sources said 43 Viet Cong and 19 South Vietnamese were killed. i Meanwhile, South Viet Nam Premier Maj.-Gen, Nguyen Khanh, who seized power Jan. 30, told associates that French officials paid a terrorist about $1,300 to kill him Thursday on one of his trips to the country- -side, The French embassy de- nied the charge.
