Senator Proposes Establishing Jurisdiction Over Bering Sea Area
WASHINGTON, March 29.— Senator Royal S. Copeland, New York Democrat, has proposed a resolution in Congress that the United States assert jurisdiction over portions of the Bering Sea.
He said the shallow depths of the Bering Sea area must be regarded as slightly submerged margin of Alaska and that preservation of minerals, salmon and other fisheries demands that the United States declare such jurisdiction.
The resolution would include all waters and submerged lands adjacent to the Alaska coast, lying east of the international boundary between the United States and Russia and would include the waters over which the Japanese fishing dispute arose. The present jurisdiction is three miles off shore.
