KODIAK BEAR NOT DYING OUT, SAYS
 PAUL REDINGTON

Paul G. Redington, Chief of the U. s. Biological Survey; II. W. Terhune, executive officer for the Alaska Game Commission; Harry Whitney of Pennsylvania and John Skully of Illinois, who have been making an extensive tour Of the Aleutian Islands on the Seal, have returned to Seward, according to word received here today.
 The party spent several weeks in observation of the big game regions. and is convinced that the famous Kodiak Bear is not in dan. ger of extinction because of the increasing number of hunters ar irving from the States, according to the message.
 Mr Redington said that while there are several authenticated in. stances of wounded or cornered bear attacking hunters, this is the exception, rather than the rule. He plans to send a qualified biolo- gist to the region to study the domain of the bear.
 The party will leave Anchorage for Fairbanks by way of the Alas ka Railroad; from Fairbanks they plan to go to Circle and down the Yukon River on their way to Nome, according to E. NJ. God. dard, Acting Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission. They will probably fly back to Fairbanks rom Nome and expect to return to Juneau about the mid dle of August, Mr Goddard said.
