- NCE Congress opened on Jan
uary the legislative mills have
been grinding slowly toward
~ where things Of interest to
anglers and hunters are getting in
shape to be discussed. All bureaus
and departments which will be under
a department Of conservation if the
Presidents proposals 60 through, but
which at present are scattered about
the city under every conceivable type
of administration. have sent in their
requests for funds.
These funds have been duly passed
upon by the department head and by
the Bureau of the Budget, and have
been sent on to Congress for action
This action. briefly. consists of passing
an appropriations subcommittee and
an appropriations full committee Of
each house, passing both houses and
being sent back to the House where
originally passed for action on amend
ments. Then. if there is anything left
it is signed by the President.
This complicated but neces-
sary procedure slows things up
somewhat and instead Of PLAN
ming their actions for the year,
agencies have to wait to see
how much money they are going
to get.
At the present time subcommittee
hearings are being held. This con-
sists of calling various members of
the bureau whose appropriations are
being discussed and having them tes-
tify as to why they need the money
requested and why they want more
than they got last year. The COM
mittee has the power to cut the
amount passed by the Budget Bu-
reau, which it frequently does, and
it also has the power to increase this
amount, which it rarely does.

 Those Juneau residents who were not already asleep were given a rare opportunity to enjoy the beau ties of the moonlit night, and many arguments arose as to whether the four streaks across the sky, near the silver half moon were just streamers of light clouds, OF, were faint, last-of-the-winter display of Northern Lights.
