NEW DELHI. Sept. 23.-Capt
Francis Kingdom Ward, British
botanist, explorer and a leading
authority on flora and fauna OF
Northern India, Tibet and Burma
has just arrived here after 500
mile trek through mountains and
jungles to escape the Japanese in
vaders OF Burma.
A thin, wiry little man in his Sos
Capt. Kingdom Ward has spent Is
years exploring the frontier regions
of Tibet, Burma, India and China
and it will take more than q war,
retreat and evacuation to make him
miss an opportunity to search for
new specimens. He Is now attached
to Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell's stah
for reconnaissance work In the re-
gion.
Found Barking Deer.
(Capt. Kingdom Ward in 1889
was . member Of an American
Museum Of Natural History ex-
pedition to Northern Burma
which brought back nearly 5000
rare specimens Of flora and
fauna. including two skins and
skeletons OF rare barking deer,
which now are in the museum)
When the Japanese swept north
ward through Burma Capt. King
downward was at Fort Hertz in
Northern Burma with only two 9TH
q white men, Asst. Supt. Rossiter
IN Irishman, and G. D. L. Millar, an
English tea planter. Rossiter and
Millar decided to tramp some 20o
miles into Assam via the Chaukan
Pass. The monsoon broke over them,
they lost all their food, nearly
starved and suffered severe priva-
tions, but they finally reached As
sam.
Capt. Kingdom Ward remained at
Fort Hertz. A Royal Air Force
plane new over the fort and In
structed him to build landing
field. This was q tall order, but he
rounded up q crew Of coolies, laid out
3 site for the field and started
work. Then q Japanese plane came
over, dropped = couple Of bombs and
disappeared. So did the coolies
and Capt. Kingdon-Ward had to
stop work.
Took Long Way Out.
The naturalist decided that the
japanese were getting too close for
comfort 80 he loaded two 60-pound
bags OF rice on two mules and start
ed for Assam. But instead Of TAX
ing the short road through the
Chaukan Pass. Capt. Kingdom Ward
decided to travel the long 500-mile
mule trail through Tibet. He chose
the longer way because he thought
he might obtain some useful mill
tary information during his trip
besides there was always q chance
Of finding some rare Wild flowers on
this route"
Tramping knee-deep in snow, the
naturalist crossed the Himalayas at
the 14,5oo-foot Diphu La Pass into
Tibet and finally reached Assam.
1T was q pleasant walk" he told
me, and l collected some nice fiow-
ers."

EMPLOYMENT
 BUREAU NOW
 FEDERALIzED
Territorial, Government Services Now Brought
 Under One Agency

Robert E. Sheldon, Executive Di- rector of the Unemployment Con- pensation Commission, and Joseph T. Flakne, Director of the United States Employment Service for AL aska. today announced jointly that they had ended series of con- ferences that have been necessary to consummate the Liberalization of the Alaska Territorial Employ ment Service which was effective February 1st, 1942.
 On December l9, 1941, the Presi- dent of the United States requested Alaska, along with the other states and territories, to turn over to the Federal Government the Territor- ially operated Employment Service so that it could become a part of the United States Employment Ser vice. This was done in the interest of contradiction in one agency, during the emergency, the responsi- bility for supplying employers en- gagged in both private and national defense production with an ade- quate supply of employees.
 This request from the President came through Gov. Ernest Gruen- ing's office, and after a conference with the Board of Administration, ne notified the Alaska Unemploy- ment Compensation Commission, who then delegated to it's Executive Director, MT Sheldon, the com- plete authority to enter into the necessary agreements with the Fed eral Government. Since that time agreements have been drafted and signed by both agencies, which effect the transfer of the personnel of the Alaska Territorial Employ ment Service to the federal payroll and these persons, effective Febr- uary l, became Federal Employees responsible to the United States Employment Service. Those em- ployees who were originally ap- pointed in accordance with the Al aska Merit System will acquire Civil Service status in the Fedora Service.
 Further agreement was reached regarding the continued occupancy of the present quarters under exist ing terms, until their expiration, a which time the United States Elm
 ploynient Service will arrange fo new leases. The Alaska Unemploy
 ment Compensation Commission

SAN PEDRO, Calif., Feb. 9 = Male Japanese aliens on Terminal Island today were taken into cus- tody by 180 federal, city and county officers and are being held in the Immigration Station on the island. J. w. Vincent, assistant chief of the Los Angeles FB.I. office said.
 The aliens will be held on presi- dental warrants pending hearings before enemy aliens boards later. Vincent said. Those boards whom the boards do not release will be given an opportunity to decide be- tween leaving the country and be- inginterned for the duration" he added.
 The Japanese. population on the island, a vital naval shipbuilding center in Los Angeles harbor. is about 2,200, of whom about 800 are aliens
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-02-02

has arranged to furnish the Em- oloyment Service with the neceSs- ary supplies under an approved procurement procedure. The Ter
 itory will be compensated for these supplies out of funds granted by she Social Security Board.
 An agreement was also reached whereby the United States Employ ment Service will be permitted to use, for an indefinite period of time, the office equipment now on She premises occupied by the United
 States Employment Service. An other stipulation was drawn up whereby the United States Elm ployment Service agrees to act as the agent for the Unemployment Compensation Commission, and ac-
 ;ept claims for that agency from claimants eligible for unemplOy- ment insurance benefits under the Alaska Unemployment Insurance Law. The new procedure for talk ing of these claims has been agreed upon by the two agencies.
 The above mentioned agreements have been presented to the Social Security Board for approval, but as Hugh J. Wade, Territorial Director for the Social Security Board, was present at most of the conferences, it is thought that the agreements will be acceptable to his Board.
 Both Directors, Sheldon and Flakne wish to stress that as far as the public is concerned, there will be no change in the paying of con- tributions due the Territory under the Alaska Unemployment Insur- ance law. As in the past, payment will be made to the central office of the Unemployment Compensation Commission. Employees who are unemployed should report to the office when seeking and if the United States Employment Service is un- able to place them, then they may file their claims for unemployment insurance.

KARABELN|kOFF MISSING; SENT
 NOTE TO FRIEND
Fears Are Fe|f for Safety of Popular Waterfront
 Employee

Deep concern over the where abouts of Frank Karabelnikoff one of the city's best known water front figures for many years, was felt today by friends, one of whom turned over to police note writ ten by Karabelnikoff early this morning.
 The note, which he handed to a taxi driver at 2 o'clock this mora ing, was in Karabelnikoff's hand writing and stated that he had been suffering too much" from a chronic stomach ailment and felt he could not stand it any more The note requested the friend to dispose of his personal belongings, sending them to son, William, at Fairbanks.
 Police Chief Kenneth Junge inn mediately went to KarabelnikoffS apartment over the Alaska Steam ship Company office, where he had lived for years, and found no trace of the missing man. His clothes and personal belongings were neat ly prepared for shipment. Notes directing the disposition of other belongings also were found.
 Karabelnikoff had been ill for several months and was in St. Ann's Hospital for six weeks last fall Three months ago he broke his leg and again was laid up, but recently was moving around again and talking about going back to work. He was employed at the coal dock and previously was chief stevedore at the Alaska dock.
 Friends who saw Karabelnikoff Saturday evening said he did not seem Respondent, although he told at least one person he planned to leave Juneau Monday. He gave this friend list of addresses to which to mail news clippings of his de- parture, saying he would reveal the details of his trip on Monday to the friend.
 Probably one of the best known persons in the Territory, Karabe!- nikoff was born on Kodiak Island and knew literally thousands of persons whom he met while work ing in various Alaskan cities. He not only had many friends in Ju- neau but also was well known by the officers and crews of Alaska Line vessels.
