5-PO|NT POLICY TO SAVE BEARS
 RECOMMENDED
Senate Wild Life Commit. tee Makes Special Bear
 Recommendations

aska have been made by the Sen ate Special Committee on Con- ssrvation of Wild Life Resources, following its hearings held in Washington, D. O., early this month.
 While it did not in so many words, endorse making a bear sanctuary out of Admiralty Island, at it was urged to do by representa- tives of eastern conservation ot- ganizations, one of its recommen- dations, if carried into effect lit eraily would result in tying up the island to any extensive devel- opment.
 Recommends One Sanctuary
 Its report, copies of which have just been received here, asks for the creation of an additional wild life sanctuary in the Glacier Bay district by Presidential proclama- tion; seeks the approval of the Alaska Game Commission to an agreement that the number of bear on Admiralty Island will be main tained at the natural capacity of the area to produce those bears; requests the Alaska Game Com mission, Biological Survey and United States Forest Service to CO., operate in securing this summer a bear and deer census on Ad- miralty Island; recommends dep utizing Forest officials as game wardens principally for bear pro- tection in Southeast Alaska; and suggests the development of a complete game management plan to coordinate with timber opera tions on Admiralty Island M The second of these proposals, to maintain Admiralty Island as a capacity producing bear pasture, is reported to be unacceptable in it's present form to the Alaska Game Commission. While the Commission has not had an op- portunity to meet and discuss the matter, individual members are understood to feel that bear pro- duction there ought to be con- sistent with economic development 1 on the island.
 Makes Full Report The Committee, after it's meet , ing in Portland, Ore, last Fall following the return of Senators , Walcott and Noribeck to Alaska, . adopted a report submitted by the |former, who is chairman, covering wild life conditions in Alaska.

Asks For New Boat 5 In addition the Committee rec ommended
 | l-That the Department of Ag- 7 ricultlIre purchase new boat for 7 the use of the Alaska Game Com mission in the western part of Alaska, including the Aleutian Is- lands, approximately no feet long, to cost in the neighborhood of $100000, and that the Seal now being used for this purpose, which is trustworthy and dangerous for the western waters, be transferred to the waters of Southeastern A. aska.
 2. That additional funds be ' made available for at least two extra wardens to facilitate offic- f ial certification of skins for the trappers and the protection of the moose on Kenai Peninsula.
 3. That the Bureau of Fisheries request an appropriation for the necessary equipment for the trap ping of some sea otters that they 5 may be caught alive and trans 9 planted to the Pribilof Islands. 2 4. That a survey be made of the !, waterfowl resources in the deltas D of the Yukon and the Kuskokwim l rivers emtying into Boring Sea
 Large numbers of migratory wa s terfowl breed in these waters an T naully, and it is reported that the T gulls are robbing their nests oi s eggs, destroying much valuable
 wild life which would otherwise
 reach the Pacific Coast States oi
 the United States.
