dicated in the Presidents state inent that "T'he Bureau of Biologi- cal Survey administers Federal laws relating to birds, land man. mals, and amphibians, whereas the Bureau of Fisheries deals with fishes, marine mammals, and other aquatic animals, The natural areas of operation are interrelated and similar in character. Consolidation will eliminate duplication of work, facilitate coordination of programs, and improve service to the pub lie" Although economies are ex- pected to be effected in the ad- ministrative overhead of the Fish and Wildlife Service in Washing ton, Delegate Dimond said that ne did not expect the consolidation would have much, if any, effect on employees in the Alaska field.
 The long delay in filling the ap- pointment for the office of the Commissioner of Fisheries indi- cates that the union of these two bureaus has been in preparation for some time.

Gabrielson several months ago made plans to be in Alaska for two or three months this summer to make personal ob- servations of the wildlife situation there.

 The outline plan for the new agency IS as lOllOWo.
 The Bureau of Fisheries and the Bureau of Biological Survey in the Department of the Interior with their respective functions are consolidated into one agency in the Department of the Interior to be known as the Fish and Wild life Service. The functions of the consolidated agency shall be ad- ministered under the direction and supervision of the Secretary of the Interior by Director and not more than two Assistant Directors, who shall be appointed by the Sec retary and perform such duties as he shall prescribe The offices of Commissioner and Deputy Com missioner of Fisheries and the offices of Chief and Associate Chief of the Bureau of Biological Sur- vey are abolished and their func- tions transferred to the consoli- dated agency" f'N''''
 When Effective

A man short in the third, Mac Collvilel picked up brother Neil's rebound to score his first goal. He added another in the closing minutes on pass from Alec Shibicky.

The PAYOFF.

Chotteau, 2S0-pound Frenchman, swam 60 miles in A hours off Santa Barbara, and A miles from Cata- lima Island to Santa Monica in B hours and 54 minutes. The war prevented his attempting to swim the English channel and back, all in one Swipe.
 And make it or no, Chotteau in- tends to take his concert violin and spend the remainder of his days as master of his own orches- tra. He was concert master at one of the larger Broadway motion pie ture places in 1929-30. Now he's defying sharks in a 71-mile ocean swim.
 "But they'll not attack human in water" insists huge Paul Chot- teau, unless that person is bleed- ing"

PEPE MUST WIN
 TONIGHT-OR ELSE

New Haven, March 20-George Pope. Meriden southpaw, will find the crossroad of his fistic career in front of him tonight when he takes on Frankie Young, local welter- weight, in six-round pro fight topping an amateur fight card at the Arena. Action starts at 8:3O.
 If Pope loses, he is all through states Manager Goldie Goldfarb Failure to train sent Pope toppling from the spotlight in less than a years time. Kayoed by Oscar Suggs in one minute two months ago, Pope pleaded for another chance, and from all indications, he has been training faithfully, for he's in fine condition. Pope stopped Young in thriller after five rounds, two wears ago, but the question is "can he come back now?"
 Young is a deadly body puncher There will be eight amateur bouts on the undercard.
