WASHINGTON Phil Murray new CIO head, apparently is pur- suing a policy of trying to carry water on both shoulders. There was plum for both leftwingers and antis in his latest organizational news.
 The antis cheered when Murray announced that Reid Robinson would replace Lee Pressman as sec- retary of the legislative committee This was big feather in the cap of the antis and a very significant slap-down for Pressman. In the last few years, during the rule of John L. Lewis, Pressman ran the com mittee with an iron hand.
 Because of his use of leftist tac- tics, Pressman was disliked on Capi- tol Hill and was repeatedly in hot water. But through this drag with Lewis, none of his numerous CIO foes was able to curb him and he operated as he pleased.
 His custer from the key post caus- cd much jubilation among the antis. who have been muttering disap- pointedly for weeks over Murray's failure to use the axe on strategical- ly-placcd leftwingers. But this pleas ure was short-lived.
 The next day Murray announced the appointment of John T. Jones, director of Labor's Nonpartisan League, as CIO legislative represen- tative on Capitol Hill. This was q solar-plexus blow.
 A United Mine Worker official Jones is one of Lewis most inti- mate henchmen and completely under his thumb. Jones owes both his UNIV and LNL jobs to Lewis, and he is one of the few UNIV leaders who followed Lewis in bolting to Willkie. Personally amiable and a hail-fellow, Jones is no leftwinger, but he takes his orders from Lewis and will follow any party line" he lays down.
 In CIO circles the appointment was taken as clear evidence that the shadow of Lewis still looms po- tent over Murray and that he does not feel himself strong enough to be his own boss.

Eliminate Eagle and Trout Bouniies, Maybe (oyoie.
 Seal loo, Board Urges

Overhauling of Alaska's bounty system, with complete elimination of the bcunties on eagles and trout, and careful reexamination of the reasons for paying Territorial mon- ey for coyotes and hair seals, is re- commended by the Territorial Board Of Budget in it's report for the l94l- 43 biennium, submitted to the Leg iSlature today.
 Alaska has been paying $20 per wolf or coyote for a total of $l65,000 in the last biennium, per eagle (for total of $l0,000); $3 per eagle seal ffor total of $60,000, plus a $20,000 deficiency, and 2lA cents per Dolly Warden trout tail (for a total of $25,OOo>
 If the seal bounty is to be con- tinued, the Board recommends that the appropriation will have to be raised from $60O00 to $80,000
 Wolf Worth S20
 No criticism is made of the wolf bounty, but the Board says of coy otes it is quite possibly wrong to bracket this animal with the larger timber wolf, the destructive habits of which are not questioned
 Members of the Board of Budget are Gov. Ernest Gruening, Treas urer Oscar G. Olson and Auditor Frank A. Boyle.
 Referring to $260,000 spent dur ing the last biennium for bounties on wolves, coyotes, hair seals, eagles and trout, the Board says "the ad- visibility of continuing such huge payments may well be questioned.'
 Eagle Harmless
 Removal of the eagle bounty is recommended in view of new Fed eral legislation protecting the bird everywhere but in Alaska Analysis of a large number of eagle 5tomachs contents clearly indicates that the bulk Of this birds diet Is of harIn- less nature" the Boards report says
 Fish-tail bounties should be dis continued, the Board recommends. until facts have been presented es- tabllshing the value of such activi- ties. Apart from the doubt as to the destructiveness of Dolly Warden trout is the evidence that Rainbow trout and young salmon tails are included among those presented for bounty collection
 Coyotes Eat Mice
 The Board states it as it's belief that the bounty on coyotes could well be reduced or eliminated en- tirely. Recent examination of 8,365 coyote stomachs collected in the Western States and Alaska indicates that rabbits, mice and carrion are its principle diet. The evidence in- dicates," the report says. that coy- otes are trapped in the course of the regular trapping season and that the bounty is merely bonanza for the trapper in addition to the price secured for the pelt."
 The Board also expresses doubts as to the worth of the hair seal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28-MemOs for the edification of certain peo- pie:
 OrsOn Welles-The Northeastern seaboard in particular and some other widely scattered areas were thrown into a mild excitement re- gently by frequently recurring sos" marine distress call. Federal Communications Commission field inspectors, working on the case, traced it to New England ama- teur radio operator. It seems he was merely producing a dramatic program ito give brother hams code practice" and the sos was just part of the script.
 Vice. President Henry A. Wallace T suppose you remember how much trouble you had with farm aid programs because you couldn't get a lot of the farmers to go in for keeping books and daily, monthly and annual record Of farm improvements. Well, the boys in your old department think they have it solved. They have a book keeping and record book out now called Farm Plan" It's McGuf- fey's Reader of farm record books, with little sketches and cartoons on almost every page. It contains such pages as Food Needed, Food Supplied by the Farm, and How We Did Cat end of the year;' in- ventories Cat beginning Aand end of yeao of household goods, farm property and land; = month-by- month farm plan; a day-to-day cash and barter section; and fin ally a page from the old family Bible for recording marriages, births, deaths and other family data. Your former employees think it's going to work wonders.
 NICK THE GREEK--H anybody ever comes around to you for your memoirs, include this story of a purely amateur gamble in which a southern Senator poured it on one of his Yankee colleagues. The gentleman from the South is something of professional foot ball fan and persuaded his friend to bet him $10 even money that the Washington Redskins would beat the Chicago Bears. Now" said the Dixie Senator, just to make it little more interesting, let's agree that the loser will pay the winner $l for every point dif- ference in the score" Well. that's the story, Nick-unless you didn't hear that the Bears won 73-0 and the Southland Senator put $83 in his wallet, as result of that friendly little $10 bet.
