Sh0wsLittle Concern Over Closing Of Consulates

B! EDWARD B. BOMAR

‘WASHINGTON, Aug. I (AP) _— The United States Gov- ernment today expressed little concern over Russia's slamming shut her own Ind American con- sulate doors.

Unexcited, State Secretary Marshall indicated at. s press conference the United Stnies might just [let Moscow have the inst word in the quarrel over two Soviet school teachers who balked st go- ing home from the United States.

The United States is ready to accept the closing of the Ameri-

can consulate in Vladivostok whlcfh Moscow ordered, Marshall said.

He brushed off anof sliitbt im- portance to troubled Soviet-Am- erican relations Moscow's hruiiqus ‘antic-n in ordering Russian con- sulates in New York and San Francisco shut down.

And he left open whether there would be even ii reply to the bristling riots Moscow delivered Tuesday night. This sgsin ssssil- ed American authorities for keep-

ficials and announced the closing of sll three American and R/us- sisn consulates.

President ‘Prumsn later disclos- ed he had formally revoked the credentials of Jacob Iomakin, Soviet ronsul-genersl in New York, for "abuse" of his olficlsl privileges in the teacher cases.

1n the past two weeks, the offict- , al said. 1,000 traps. found in the. fishing grounds between Kildiire Cape and llurdys tliaiinel, have‘ been seized and destroyed together , with all rope used in the setting of ‘ the traps in addition. t-lie fishery inspectors bar's seized and rcturnctl to the xvciter over 8,000 pounds of live lobstezs. _| 0Y8!‘

Such largo-scale seizures such a cximparatively brief period have been made possible, the

official said, by the use of n plziiic utorking in conjunction with fou: fishery boats.

Difficult In Former Years

In former years, it was impossi- ble for the fishery officials to dis- mver more than a small percentage of the number of traps placed in the water after the legal lobster season had closed, Their only means of rltscovcring the traps was bv "dragging" with a grapnel. Since the traps were oftcn scattered in “bunclies" of l0 or 12 traps over a large area and with a considerable distance separating each “bll1lt‘ll," the officials often worked long hours without achieving any sub- stantial result. Moreover. the offi- cial said. the officials. as a rule.‘ weze but temporary employ-cos of‘. the Department. Practically tnl every instance they were fisher-i men themselves who seldom were enthusiastic about destroying their neighbor's gear.

But with the Department's new set- up, tlie atlvautage has suddenly shifted in favour of the fishery officials Tho use of a plane has made it possible for an inspector to detect quite easily from the air any lobster gear in the water over which he is flying. As soon as the gear: is detected. a message in a floating container is dropped to the fishery boats below’. Tihcy pro- ceed as advised in the ll essage and within a short. time have found and destroyed the traps.

The same nictliocl is used in de- tecting tlie live lobsters stored in crates floating at water level. Even when a few of the more painstaking fishermen have gone to the trouble of anchoring the c-rntes
