GAME COMMISSION DESIRES
 CHANGES IN REGULATIONS
(oontinued From Page One

To definitely outline require
 ent that has been handled as a matter of policy by the Commls- sion, and over which there has been considerable controversy, the Commissions regulations requiring the employment of guides by non resident hunters has been changed to provide that a guide may accom- pany only one hunter into the field unless it be a man and w1e or a parent and minor child.
 This regulation has also been enlarged to provide that non-resl- dents pursuing large brown or grizzly bears tor the purpose o1 photograpn1ng them must be ac- companied by registered guide. The Commission believes this pre- caution necessary to safeguard the lives of Cheechaeo photographers who are not familiar with the danger of too close contact with these formidable animals.
 With the increasing traffic or automobiles passing through game regions and the shooting at game from swiftly moving cars, the Com mission has recommended that the shooting of game from motor vehicle be prohibited. This is to not only prevent the wounding of game which in many cases escape to die later, but as measure Of precaution to prevent fatal accid- iaIs result thoughtiess and careless people continue to shoot indiscriminately from a moving automobile. Sever al near accidents of this nature have been reported to the com misison during the past year.
 Migratory Birds Recommendations
 Believing that Alaskans are en- titled to the fullest possible utiliza- tion of migratory bird resources consistent with the preservation of :he supply and as authorized under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and as there is no apparent shortage ot any species in this flight, the Com mission adopted the following res olution which has been forwarded to the Secretary of Agriculture.
 Resolution
 70 WHEREAS, The wild fowl of All aska is of great importance as source of food supply for the resi- dents of isolated communities, and should be available for as exten- sive use as is consistent with the perpetuation of the supply and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and
 WHEREAS, The supply of such birds is increasing, as indicated by reports to this Commission from its representatives in the field, and
 WHEREAS, The majority of migratory wild fowl that breed in Alaska constitute a single flock which migrates principally be- tween Alaska breeding grounds and British Columbia, Washington. Oregon and California, and does not intermingle to any great extent with the birds that breed and have their migrations east of the Rocky Mountains and, therefore, restric- tion of hunting in Alaska cannot greatly benefit any areas other than the Pacific Slope, and
 WHEREAS, The present method of regulation under which Alaska is administered as one district with open and close seasons applying equally to the entire Territory re- gardless of climatic and other natural conditions, is unsuited to conditions in Alaska,
 NOW THEREFORE, Be IT RE- SULVED, That Alaska be excepted from any drastic curtailment of the open season on migratory wild fowl. unless recommended by the Alaska Game Commission, and
 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, If, in the event Alaska is not ex- cepted from any future curtailment of the open season on wild fowl, in the fixing of such curtailed open seasons, the Department of Agriculture take into considara- tion the climatic conditions and zone the Territory accordingly, fixing the open seasons north of the north boundaries of Fur Dis tricts No. and No 4 from Septem- Der 30 inclusive, and for the coast al areas from September 20 to October 20, inclusive.
