 ALASKA WORK
Returns Today from Three Months Trip Through
 Westward, Interior


 Impressed with the real appre- citation on the greater part of the forward thinking people of Alas ka of the need of adequate protec- tion of fur bearing animals. sap- parent to him, he said throughout the trip he has just completed through the Territory, Paul c. Redington, Chief of the U, s. Bu- reau of Biological Survey, declared today the work of the Alaska Game Commission is well worth while.
 ls Handicapped
 "The Commission is handicap ped in it's efforts to handle the situation of fur bearing animal protection because of inadequate resources" said MT. Redington. "1f the game laws are to be prop erly enforced and if there is to be a guarantee of the existance of ample breeding stock of fur bear CTS, more men will be needed to handle the situation.
 MT. Redington and H. w. Ter hume, executive officer of the AL aska Game Commission, returned to Juneau this morning on the steamship Alaska, completing three months trip through the Territory in the interest of the Biological Survey and Alaska Game Commission.
 Menace to Fur Bearers
 "The wolves and coyotes con stitute one of the important prob lems to be confronted in the pro- lection of fur bearing animals" MT. Redington declared.
 These predatory animals are destroying the caribou, sheep and foxes in considerable numbers. They are increasing greatly and are spreading rapidly over the country"
 The Territorial Legislature con- ducted a forward piece of work when it appropriated the sum of $1O.000 for the investigation of the condition created by the predatory animals, in the opinion of MT. Redington, and it is hoped, he said, that this work will result in program for control of the situa- tiOn.
 R. K. Stewart, predatory ami nal investigator for the Territory. is now in Mckinley Park and ex- poets to arrive in Juneau in about one month. He reports the wolves are doing much damage to the sheep in the Park.

 "l realize as I couldn't possibly realize before, how vital adequate boat transportation is to carrying out successful program of the Alaska Game Commission, and other governmental agencies.
 This trip has convinced me that must see more of Alaska. and hope to return within the near fu- ture. While We covered con. siderable part of the Territory realize more than ever that l. would take years for one man to learn all about Alaska.

largest figures of this kind ever reached
There were 275,O0o adult contributors.
The total was swelled by the gifts of

110 Organizations in Chest.
The entire amount constitutes Cleve-
lands Community Chest for the coming
year. This is the tenth campaign for
the benefit of all the charity and well

few inconsequential exceptions. A total
of ITO organizations will draw upon the
chest for their deficits during the year
and will make no further request for
public support. They include all those
groups operating for the welfare of the
public not supported by taxation.
The Community Chest idea in Cleve-
land antedates the war. More than IS
years ago the various Jewish charitable
and welfare organizations pooled their
efforts in a single campaign once a
year. This plan was so successful that
in 1913 majority of the Protestant,
Catholic and non-sectarian organiza-
tions formed welfare federation with
the same object.
Thus there were two major cam
paigns each year. Groups outside of
either federation held independent cam

$11 100000. BY agreement with the
two local groups, $1,000,000 was allotted
them on condition that they would
hold no campaigns of their own. The
war chest movement proved so effect

policy be applied to local charities in
the future by getting the Welfare Fed

Clerk in Traffic Bureau Dropped
"For Good of the
Service"

The District Commissioners today
removed Loren H. Wittner, clerk in the
traffic bureau of the Police Department,
from the force "for the good of the
service"
Wittner stepped into the limelight
during the presidential campaign by
openly working for the election of Gov.
Smith of New York in defiance of an
order issued by the Civil Service Com
mission instructing civil service en-
ployes against participating in partisan
political activities.
On November /, Inspector E. w.
Brown, in charge of the traffic bureau,
took from Wittners typewriter a speech
the latter was preparing in behalf of
Gov. Smith during Office hours, and
ordered him suspended.
On November Is Brown formulated
three charges against Wittner, the first
two accusing him of not keeping his
work up to date by reason of the per-
sonal business he repeatedly transacted
during Office hours, and the third that
he had circulated among the woman
employees of the Office pamphlet hav-
ing to do with companionate marriage
and free love.
Wittner then asked for a hearing be-
fore the Board of Commissioners, but
never received it.
The Commissioners order today was
made retroactive to November / and
Wittner will lose his pay during the in
terval while he was suspended.
He stated recently that should he be
removed, on charges as preferred, he
would appeal to the Civil Service Com
mission for reinstatement.
