No whale boats interested Los Angeles last week, but tuna-fishing boats worth $250,000 were prepared for trial runs, and contracts calling for another $250,000 worth were signed. Plans were likewise drawn up for a super-tuna boat, to cost approximately $200,000. It will contain freezing compartments capable of holding 600 tons of frozen tuna; the boat will be able to cruise tropical waters for two months at a stretch.
