Fishing will be conducted with tuna long-line gear at 60-mile intervals from the southern portion of the north equatorial current, across the equatorial countercurrent and into the south equatorial current. This operation is designed to test the theory that since the occurrence of basic food organisms appears to be closely connected with this system of currents, the tunas may also occur in a predictable pattern on a similar basis. As secondary projects, the vessel will engage in a number of subsidiary opera- tions. Obse-'vations will be made upon the depth of occurrence of tunas to deter- mine to what degree the decreasing temperature which is found below the surface af- fects the vertical distribution of tunas. Further, by fishing systematically from the islands for some distance seaward it is hoped that information can be secured concerning the degree to which tunas are associated v.'ith land Presidenf Appoints Deputy U. S. Commissioner on the International Whaling Commission President Truman on October 7 appointed Dr. Hilary J. Deason, Chief of the Office of Foreign Activities, U. S.
