Coast.

(Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, April 4—As from the first of May only four trawlers will be permitted to operate out of Canadian ports on the Atlantic “m, Hon. Alfred Duranleau, act- 111g Minister of Fisheries told tho House of Commons today. At. pres- ent there are six, five cf which be- mng to the National Fish Company and one to the Leonard Fisheries. The reduction will be made in the vemels of the former concern, which will lose a. couple.

In the course of his promised statement on the matter of licens-

rg‘ trawlers, Mr. Duranleau trav- ersed the history of this branch of the fishing industry. ’I‘rawlers had been introduced in order to ensure regularity and steadiness of supply, particularly in the winter months when the handliners were laid up. The largest number engaged was in i920, when 11 trawlers were cp- erating out of Atlantic ports. Since then, there had been a reduction until now only six were operating.

Following enquiry by the Atlantic Fisheries Commission in 1927 and 1928, legislation for the better cou- tmi of trawlers was enacted. This provided for

(A) That all trawler-s must be li- censed;

(B) All must be registered in Canada;

(C) They must not be allowed t0 iish within 12 miles of the shore;

(D) Licenses must be issued by the Minister of Fisheries;

(E) Regulations must be made by Orcier-m-Council fixing the condi-

fijons under which‘ trnwlers would ac permitted to operate.

ln 1929 the regulations provided for licensing trawlers and requir- lug foreign-owned vessels to pay a too of one cent per lb. on all cod, haddock and halibut landed in Canada, The. fee for Canadian- owned vessels was two-thirds of a cent per lb. These fees did not ap- ply during the first three months oi‘ the _vcer_

Aiicr fiu-ther consideration new regulations were adopted in 1931, in which the license fee was estab- lished at $500, while the applicant for license was required to furnish the minister with evidence that uaaiiors were necessary for the

For the fiscal year 1032-1933 flvc trawlers were operated by the Na- tional Fish Company and one by the Leonard Fisheries, Mr. Duran- leau said. Boards of Trade and fishermen had represented that no trswlers should be licensed, but the Halifax Board of ‘Irade had sought a. renewal of the licenses. The Na- tional Company “had applied for their five licenses and the Leonard Company had intimated it W01 ask for one.

The catch by trawler: had de- clined, this decline keeping pace with the decline in catch of the handllners. Within a few years each had dropped 27 per cent.

Other countries permtzcd trawl- ing, continued the Minister. Over 5,000 operated out of European ports, and 300 out of United States ports.‘A' large number of French trawler-s crossed the Atlantic and fished in the waters adjacent to the Grand Banks, so that, even if the Canadian trawlcrs were all’ wit-h- drawn the reduction in the total in these waters would be very small.

In consideration of all these facts, Mr. Duranleah said, it has been decided to decrease the num- ber of licenses to four trawlers, as intimated. This would give the companies one month's operation with six trawleis in order to enable them to fulfil existing contracts.

All will hope that the improvement noted yesterday will continue, and that he will shortly be restored to his wonted health and strength. BENEFICIAL THAW'—-Mild breezes yesterday and several sharp showers of rain last evening com- bined to banish much cf the snow from the streets of the city.

WORKED‘ 0N ILL FATE!) DIR- IGIBLE-One of the workmen cm- ployed last fall on the U. S. dirig- ible Akron which was wrecked with the loss cf '13 lives yesterday morn- ing, was Mr. Frank Beott, of Lakehurst, New Jersey, son of MI- Dominic Beott, formerly of 'I‘ig- nish. It is possible that M1‘. Beott was one of the crew of the Akron on her fatal voyage, though details in this regard are not yet ascer- talnable. Mr. Scott's uncle, Rev. John Beott, of Tignish, is at pres- ent recoverng from an illness in the sacred Heart Home, this city.

other six men who had been aboard the searching craft were rescued.

A National Disaster

President Roosevelt in a state- ment from the White House called the Akron crash "A National Dis- aster" and on Capitol Hill there were those who said it sounded the death-knell of lighter-thsn-air naval aviation in the United States A vast searching armada plough- ed through the sea and roared back and forth in the sky all day searching for trace of the giant ariship and her victims.

But by dusk all they had found was the one floating body and a few pieces of scattered wreckage.

Story 0f CrI-lh

The story of what happened to‘ the $5,350,000 dirigible-her 7B5 feet exceeding the height of an 11 story building-mas first told by Lieut. Commander Wiley in s. cryptic radiogram.

“Sighted thunder storm about 30 miles south of Philadelphia about 2.45 (8.46 p. m.) and proceeded on east and northeast course," said the message dictated by Wiley as he was being brought to shore. “Light night, mostly to south. Ground obscured by fog. Ship in good condition. Approximately 5,000 pounds. Sea. heavy. In vicinity of Jersey shore at 10 o'clock.

. "Surrounded by lghtning at ‘(Barnegatl light. Night atmo- sphere not very turbulent. Ran east course until about 2800 (11 p.m.) then crossed to west at 2400 (midnight). Sighted light on ground and changed course to 130 degrees.

"About 00.30 (12.30 a. m.) 5119p began to descend rapidly from fly- ing altitude 1,600 feet. Dropped balltst. forward and regained si- titude.

"rhree minutes later, seemed to be in centre of storm. Ship began to shift about violently. Called all hands. Ship commenced to descend. Stern inclined downward.

“Dropped ballast. Rudder con- trol carried away. Descent contin- ued to water. Ship demolished upon impact.

"In lightning flash I saw many men swimming. Wreckage drifted rapidly away. Discipline in control car perfect."

From Captain Karl Dallidorf, 34- year-old master of the tanker Phoebus, which picked up Licut. Commander Wiley and his three shipmates, and later transferred them to a coast guard boat, came this cryptic description of the res- cue:

Describe: Rescue

"About 12.30 o’clock this morning, during a thunderstorm and heavy rains, I saw aircraft lights flashing as my ship ploughed its way to- ward Tamplco from New York.

“Shortly afterward I saw lights flashing on the water.

"I changed my course to sp- proach the lights and soon heard men hailing from the water.

“I stopped the ship, turned on all lights, lowered boats and put life- boats over the side.

"I saw mattresses and wreckage, and pulled one mat over the side of the boat. We got three men, I saw some men sink before we could get them.

"After this no more men were found."

As soon as word of the greatest dirlgible disaster in history was flashed to shore, a. vast fleet pre- pared to take the air and water. Navy planes, amphiNans, commer- cial planes, coast guard cutters, navy craft. and sea-going vessels joincd ill s. search of the scene of the crash for sign of bodies and three of the silvery Akron. Barnegat City, on the tip of s. desolate strip of sand dunes known as Long Beach, was the starting point for many of the air search- cl‘!-

The roar of motors echoed down from lowering clouds as the planes droned off into the foggy morning to circle over the Iiarnegat waters, a section commonly called the “graveyard of the sea," because of the fate that has overtaken thous- ands of boats, large and small, since that part of the country was first sighted by a Florentine navigator in 1524.

Cuts Spell of Gloom

But the search had been on only l. few hours when Secretary of the Navy Swanson in Washington is- sued s. statement which cast B spell of gloom over the groups of relatives and friends that waited on shore for word of the Akron crew's fate.

found. He added all the forces at the command of the navy would remain in the hunt.

Mrs. Moffett refused to give up hope and said she firmly bfllevefl she would hear from her husband. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt went to the Mcffett home to express her sorrow.

An indication of how far the Akron wreckage had drifted was seen in the discovery by s. coast guard cutter of bits of the airship 20 miles cast of Atlantic City,

Picks up Pieces of Ship

The cutter McDougal during the morning picked up some of the Alcoa's tubular pipes covered with kapok near the scene of the crash.

But the rest of the mammoth airship apparently had gone to the bottom, probably carrying with it many of its crew,

Calls Court _cf Enquiry

While Rear Admiral William V. Pratt, chief of naval operations. was directing all naval and coast guard planes and ships available to join in the search, Col. Henry Latrobe Roosevelt, assistant Sec- retary of Navy, flew to the air station at Lakehurst to direct the’ rescue work and an investigation. l-fe was acting under the direction of the President. A court of inquiry was ordered convened at once.

The Akron was on its way‘ from Lakehurst to Boston when she met her doom. She was to have cruised along the coast for four days to ad- just errors in her radio compasses.

A "Jinx" Followed IIer Short Career

The ship was built in the Ohio city for which it was named in 193i. A “jinx" dogged her through- out her short career.

An alleged Communist plot to weaken her structure was uncover-
