By JAMES E. DUNLAP
Unless immediate federal or in-
ternational action is taken, the im-
portant Great Lakes fisheries will
soon be commercially exterminated
possibly within the next five years,
according to Dr. John Van Oosten, in
charge of the Great Lakes Fishery
Investigation which has its head-
quarters in Ann Arbor and is a divi-s
sion of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries.
"By thinking only of its present4
gains and nothing of the future, the
fishing industry is cutting its own
throat," Dr. Van Oosten said. Be-
cause the smaller fish often draw!
higher prices, many fishermen find it
exceedingly profitable to put fish of
pre-spawning age on the market. As
a result, within a few years the spe-
cies become relatively scarce, and the
companies must either shut down en-
tirely or resort to producing some
other and less desirable species.
Cites Whitefish
"A good example of this is the
famous Lake Superior Whitefish',"
Dr. Van Ooosten said. "While this
variety still finds a prominent place
on most hotel and restaurant menus,
it long ago took a nose dive from an
annual production of three and a
half million pounds to a level of less
than 500,000; and virtually none of
those now served the traveling pub-
lic have ever been near Lake Su-
perior, most of them coming thou-
sands of miles down from the lakes
of northern Canada."
An even more striking example is
that of the Lake Erie cisco, which
was completely wiped out commer-
cially. During the 10 years from
1924 to 1934, the cisco experienced a
decline in annual production of over
99.5 per cent.
Others Threatened
"The tragedy of the entire situa-
tion is that as soon as one fishery is
wiped out another one is threat-
ened," Dr. Van Oosten commented,
"for the nets that had been employed
in catching the exterminated species
are assigned to the capture of others.
Thus, the collapse of the cisco fishery
led to sharply increased production
of chubs, as a substitute. Now the
chubs are struggling for existence."
The United States Bureau of Fish-
cries, which was invited by the Lake
Erie fishing industry to study the sit-
uation when the cisco suddenly be-
came extinct, discovered that the one
outstanding weakness in the admin-
istration of the fisheries is the lack of
uniformity of state laws.
In the main, both Michigan and
Ontario have fine regulations, but
they are ineffective unless the other
states which border the Great Lakes
adopt similar rules.
For example, Michigan has a 16.5-
inch limit on the wall-eyed pike,

ent Relulation t
which Ohio has only a 13-inch 1Emit.;
The outcome of such a situation is
that the Ohio fishermen receive all
the benefits of Michigan's high re-
striction and the fish none.
"Likewise. while both this state
and the province of Ontario have
very commendable sets of fishing
regulations, the fact that they are
not the same cuts down their ef-
fectiveness to an extraordinary de-
gree," Dr. Van Ooosten added.j
"Michigan has a closed season of sixe
weeks on the chubs of Lake Huron; > 3
Ontario does not have closed seasons.
Thus, while Michigan men are com-
pelled to take in their nets and pro-
tect the fish, Ontario continues op-,
eration and thus nullify the effec-
tiveness of Michigan's closed season
at the expense of the Michigan fish-
ermen."

Fitzgerald Begins, I
Drafting Of Bndgetf
LANSING, Nov. 17.-0P)-Gover-
nor Fitzgerald began the task today
of drafting a state budget for con-
sideration by the 1937 legislature.
Shortly after the Nov. 3 election
Governor Fitzgerald invited Gov-
ernor-Elect Frank Murphy to attend
budget hearings, but Murphy in-
formed him he could not attend.,
Fitzgerald told Murphy in a letter!
today he would welcome any repre-
sentative Murphy might send to
these conferences.
The Governor indicated he would
recommend a budget considerably
higher than that of the past bien-
nium.
Jurisdiction Of Court
To Be Decided Today!
DETROIT, Nov. 17.-( M-Record-
er's Judge Donald Van Zile said to-
day he would rule tomorrow on
whether his court has jurisdiction to
try five alleged Black Legion mem-
bers on charges of murdering Silas
Coleman, -a Negro, in another coun-
ty.
The judge, after hearing argu-
ments of attorneys, took under ad-
visement a motion to dismiss the
case.
Defense counsel contended the
court lacked jurisdiction because the
crime occurred in Livingston county.


Diction Class
Goes n;WJR
At 2:15 Today
The sixth broadcast of Prof. Gail
E. Densmore's class in pronunciation
and diction will go on the air today
at 2:15 p.m. over Station WJR.
The course, as given over the Uni-
versity radio hour, deals with the cor-

gram also deals with a comprehensive

structions and a reading list, will be
mailed to listeners upon the receipt
