United States Fish and Wild life Service, commented today that policy on deferment of men en gaged in the fishing industry has not been specifieially defined by fisheries officials. A Defense Fisheries administra tion, a division of the Fish and Wildlife Service, has been organ ized with Albert M. Day. director of the F&WLS as its head. It is expected that Defense Fish eries authorities will in the near future be able to make recommen dations to draft boards regarding deferment of men engaged in the fishing industry. This must be preceded, however, Atkinson said, by s'udy of the industry through out the nation and on the local level each case must be considered separately. "It would be inadvisable," At kinson continued, "to make blanket ?deferments, such as 'mates of boats' for then there would be a flocking of men into that category merely for the sake of evading in duction." A,s soon as the Defense Fisher ies administration has detcrmii) i its policy on deferments, announce ment of that policy v\ill be made public, the fisheries official stated.

Dill, Carteret county's legislator, commented yesterday, i prior to departing for this week's session of the legislature, that the hill introduced by Clyde Shreve, | Guilford county, repealing North ; Carolina's ant i closed shop law. would have more far reaching et | feet in this area, if passed, than any . other bill. He dismissed the motor vehicle j 1 inspection fight and the coliseum i fuss as merely froth on top of the cauldron. 1949 Itill The 1949 North Carolina legis- ' lature passed a bill prohibiting the existence of closed shops (un ion labor only) in the state. The Taft-Hartley bill, federal legisla tion, prohibits closed shops, but for small industry not engaged in interstate - commerce, the Taft Hartley bill would not apply. The anti-closed shop bill is al so known as "the right to work bill," the legislation which per mits a person to work without be ing obliged to join a union. Referred to Committee The Shreve bill has been refer red to the committee on manufac turing and labor of which Dill is ] a member. There have been no hearings on the bill as yet. As to the "coliseum" at the state i fair grounds, Carteret county's leg islator remarked that it was unfor tunately tagged with that name. "It is not going to be like the | coliseum at Kalcigh where basket ball gamis are played," he explain ! ed, "it will merely be a permanent exhibition building, not only to show cattle but to house farm pro : ducts and all types of exhibitions! is:v?<)wn.ai tha fair/' ? j Je did not state whether he was 1 in favor of Coliseum const rue 1 1 ion proceeding (foundations have already been poured). "I've heard a lot of talk about it. but it does n't concern me until it gets to tlic floor of the house," Dill declared. More Money Needed lie commented however, that to equip the building with lights, heat and all the necessary "furnishings" the expense would be greater than that allotcd by the 1949 legisla ture. "The conservative trend of the legislature is against it," he re marked. The appropriations and finance committee and the two judiciary committees have been in session daily during the past week, Dill re ported. On Wednesday both houses ad journed out of respect to Roy Hampton who died Wednesday morning. Karly in the week the North Carolina symphonys pre sented a concert for members of the state's law-making bodies.
