REQUESTS MADE ON GAM E BOARD
 BY LOCAL BODY
C h a m Der of Commerce Presents Requests at
 Public Hearing

Suggestions for deferring the opening of the deer season in the Juneau district, requests for migratory wild fowl open seasons, objections to the Imposition of a resident hunting license, and some discussions of the advisability of putting closed season on brown bear in Southeast Alaska were heard yesterday afternon by the Alaska Game Commission at it's public hearing.
 The Commission did not indi- cate what action might be taken finally, other than that it would recommend to the Advisory Mi gratory Wild Fowl Council that it zone the Territory in order to make the open seasons more ap- plicable to different sections,
 Two Periods Uurged
 While there was an agreement among petitioners for zoning on the need for that action, South east Alaska organizations were di- vided as to the dates most desir- able for open seasons Several re- quests were heard, including one from the local Chamber of Com merce, to fix the season for Oc- tober to November 30. This was in line with the original sugges- tions by the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce. Other request wanted from September IS to Mo- venber 15. The Commission indi- cated it probably would recom- mend from September 20 to Mo- vember 20.
 Representations wvlo made that August 20, the present opening date, is too early for deer hunt ing in the northern district of Southeast Alaska. It was suggest e6 that September 1 was more de- sirable for number of reasons.
 Hunting License Unfavored The Chamber of Commerce, rep resented by John w. Jones and Dr. w. w. Council opposed the imposition of a resident hunting H. cense at this time. The Petersburg Chamber of Commerce by resolu- tion, asked for the license. It was the only such recommendation and lit did not seem probable that it would be approved by the Com mission.
 Members of the Commission sought expressions of opinion from those attending the hearing on the advisability of closing the brown bear season in Southeast Alaska during the summer months. MT. Jones and MT. Council said they did not see how there could be any objection to such a procedure provided this would not operate to prevent residents from defending themselves and their property from attacks by bears.
 Closed to Non-Residents
 Southeast Alaska is already clos ed during that period to non-resi- dent hunters. There has been widespread criticism of the lack of protection from resident hunters.
 The Commission, in was pointed out, realizes there is little or no hunting done during the summer by residents, and is inclined to be- lieve it would be advisable to put

off Gayhead, a promontory on its west

interest was the finding of a leather

Falmouth residents reported sighting

off Gayhead, and the shooting off Of
flares from the vessels.
Not Coast Guard Boats.
Falmouth Is on the mainland. ap-
proximately Is miles from Gayhead, but
nobody at Gayhead or at any other
point along the western coast of Mar
tha's Vineyard could be found who
saw either the plane, the boats or the
flares.
The boats were believed Coast Guard
vessels by those who saw them, but the
Coast Guard denied having any OF its
craft in that vicinity. If the boats
were private craft, no one knew whence
they came. The Gayhead light house
made no report Of any strange vessels
being within its view last night, nor
did it report any plane or any flares,
Sources familiar with practically
every point on this island failed to dis
close any such activity as was reported
by several persons in Falmouth.

taneous and continuous rumors that
Col. Lindbergh or his Intermediates
were trying to make further contact
with tile S::dnapers.

few south about half hour before the
flares appeared On Martha's Vineyard.
however, the only plane seen passed
over the island at $50 last night, four
hours before the flares were reported
Those familiar with conditions on all
sides of Marthas Vineyard pointed out
that the position given for the boats
and flares was the least suspicious for
making a contact from the air.
A strong wind was blowing and the
sea was rough. If a contact were to
be made between an airplane and
vessel these sources said the southern
side Of the island would have furnished
a better place. The landing of a plane
in the waters off Gayhead would have
been hazardous, they said.
