 New York Gathering

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The AL aska brown bear Tuesday threw the annual meeting of the Ma tional Association of Audubon So- cieties into an uproar. Not the bear, itself, but John H. Holz- worth, President of the National Association of Wild Life Conserva- tionists, Inc, occasioned the tur- moil that marred the usual serenity of the association of bird and wild life enthusiasts.
 Holzworth appeared before the convention in support of his pro- posal to seek Congressional legisla- tion to set aside Admiralty and Chichagof Islands, Alaska, as a national park for a brown bear sanctuary. The convention turned his down.
 fingered at his rejection, which had not been expected by him, Holzworth hurled wild charges at the association, asserting it was working. hand in hand with wood pulp interests"
 Muskrats played second fiddle to the great bears of Alaska, in yesterdays meeting, as disturbing element when two factions went to the bat over whether they should be preserved.
 One faction said they are a great benefit to wild fowl. ,
 Another faction was equally posi- tive they are wholesale slaught- erers.

If the nation will turn our resources over to us without restriction or reser- yation and let us develop them for our own benefit, we won't need Federal appropriations that are demanded under the exsiting sys- tem,' he declared.
 He charged that Delegate Wick by failure to represent Alaska at hearings of the House Appropriations Committees sub- committee on the Agricultural De- partment's supply bill last Spring was chiefly responsible for the loss of road funds out of which it had been planned to erect the bridge across Gastineau Channel between Douglas and Juneau.

The normal allotment for Alaska from the appropriation carried by the bill under consideration would have been $945, 900, and this with the reserve on hand would Have given the Forest Service total of S1,755 900 for expenditure dur ing the current fiscal year.
 At the hearings, Congressman Robert Simmons, Republican of Nebraska, a longtime member or the committee, told the committee he had spent six weeks in Alaska last summer and made a special study of the Forest Highways.
