TYPOGRAPHICAL , DEATH NOT FATAL
 TO EAGLE EXPERT

A victim of Typographical mur- der in this paper about week ago was back in Juneau today. very much alive and showing no i'll eff fects from his journalistic demise.
 He is Ralph H. Imler, of the Fish and Wildlife Service, who left the city today by plane, en route to Den- yer, after summer of studying the food habits of the Alaska bald eagle : A recent headline in The Empire, over a news item regarding Imler, was written to say STUDENT OF EAGLE DIETS IN JUNEAU" But letter stuck in the magazine of the linotype machine setting the head line and in the paper it read STU DENT OF EAGLE DIES IN JU- NEAU." Thus Imler had the rare pleasure of personally denying his untimely death.
 Going back to Denver with Iinler is 10-week- old Husky pup, named Taku, acquired from the Husky pack of Mary Joyce at Taku Lodge, where Imler made his headquarters for part of his eagle studies.
 1 From his studies of the stomach contents of some 150 eagles killed during the summer, Imler believes the birds live mostly on carion sal mon, fish that have already spawn i, ed out or died on stream banks, he /, said today. He is taking number ! of specimens back to Denver with him, however, and will complete his study there before submitting any report on the eagle diets.
 Imler has studied the habits and feeding of the big birds all over Southeast Alaska during the past summer.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Publi- cation of an executive order, estab- fishing Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge in, the ,Uganik section of Kodiak Island for the protection of brown bears, today drew from Alaska's Delegate to Congress An thony J.

 The order sets aside all the Uganik part of Kodiak Island, to- taling 1,979,000 acres. This land is withdrawn from entry settlement and permits homesteading only on mile-wide strip along the shore line.
 Setting aside an area for the protection of brown bears is un- necessary" Delegate Dimond ex- ploded Bears have increased so rapidly in recent years that in some sections they are becoming nuisance. It would be better to leave the island open for settle ment."
 The Fish and, Wildlife Service 1, id the. order would set, up a management area for the protec- tion of bears, to be administered under the Alaska Game Commits sion. They said hunting of the bears will be permitted in the refuge under regulations of the commission.

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
MORE LOVE. LESS HATE
Is WORLDS NEED

Editor. The Times: In re-
cent issue. Prof. Henry w.
Laurence makes the following
statement: What the world
needs is more intelligent
hate War" he says. cannot
live without" hate. Thue, hate
breeds and .sustains war. Are
we seeking more war or peace
Hatred is founded upon fear
and both hate and fear are in
reality a lack. rather than an
evidence, of intelligence.
To be really intelligent. man
must have somewhat OF an
understanding of the law of life
and being. wherein is no place
or room for hate. Only love
and pity rule in such conscious
ness. Hate is destructive in
its effect upon the mental and
moral consciousness. II debases
the soul that harbors it. Our
planet is now Keeling in the
madness of hate. is ii not time
to cease generating such de-
structive force?
Creating hate TO destroy hate
is working in a vicious circle
which cannot bring peace since
peace is the direct antithesis Of
hate. What the world needs
today is greater and more in
telligent love. II every person
in the L. s. would st once cast
hate out of his or her conscious
ness and replace it with love,
brotherly love. with the truly
intelligent desire to help and
benefit all and bind every effort
Of the individual and the men
to that end. our nation would
become quickly welded in such
strong body OF unit and CO.
hesiveness as 10 be utterly in
vincible.
Love is constructive. II is the
manifestation OF the Christ
spirit and power which could
calm TO a turbulent sea. But
humanity has become SO lost to
spiritual guidance. so sunk in
the ocean OF materiality. il has
lost its mental focus. Judgment
has become So warped and mar
rowed in a little circle of world
illness, that mankind has be-
come bewildered. overwhelmed
with fear and hate. so lacking
in any faith Of super power
TO guide and save that the world
has become a mental msdhouse.
launched upon the road TO utter
destruction.
No. the world needs not more

terrificslly, is more intelli-
gent love. Only through re-
constructed mental attitude can
We hope TO find our way back

not handle the volume OF inter-
national business. They main
tain that Pan-Am has not per-
formed national defense services
commensurate with the finan-
cial and monopolistic favors it
has enjoyed So, they welcome
a rival that will create healthy
competition.
Pan-Am also has negotiated
exclusive contracts for landing

will soon enlist a quarter or
possibly rs much as third of
all industrial workers in the
L. s.

700 600 in short period. The
clio is more reticent about its
army, but 1t is supposed to have
about 1000. 900 and is steadily
growing. The coincidence Of the
rearming burst and the New
Deal labor laws benefiting the
unions accounts for the phenom-
email increase. Under New Deal
statutes and defense regulations.
a manufacturer seeking gov
eminent contract is virtually
compelled 10 open his gates TO a
union organizer. Walking dele
gates also are cspitalizing on
the power and prestige labor has
obtained in England.
AS result. labor has become
big business. 1t is estimated
that dues and other assessments
collected by the unions now total
500 600 600 annually. Under such
favorable conditions, lsbOr's OPP
position TO any denial OF the
right to strike becomes under
stRnds bic. To agree 10 such a
proposition would be to kill of
